Did you do a frugal install to a partition that uses the whole drive?

well i am not installing other operating systems, i just want storage space for media.

maybe i should have just done a full install?

does anyone know? I did a frugal install this time, when I came back to Puppy from Ubuntuland, but I could only make my savefile 1GB. i got nothing else on this laptop, so i have lots of free space that i can't seem to figure out how to access/use for things like downloads and storage. maybe it is a...

been a while since I've been around here. I'm coming back to Puppy after a foray into Ubuntu-land.

i'll just say, can we newbies at least get that ridiculously awesome Puppy Control Center added to the main repositories so it can be easily installed on non-stardust versions of Puppy?

This is going to sound a bit weird, and I don't want to step on the toes of the people who made the default Puppy Installation by insulting their work. they've done a fantastic job. but I just tried the Stardust derivative after a few days of fiddling with the default puppy, and is just so good for ...

From the viewpoint of a brand-new-to-linux user, I simply cannot sing enough praises about Stardust 006.

it's the most newbie-friendly puppy I've seen.

i found /sys and it is showing as mounted, even though i am still getting this message.

Hi all. I get this message that says Fatal: /sys is not mounted every time I shut the computer down. I get a string of about 6-8 of these messages right before the computer shuts off. It doesn't seem to affect anything I do on the computer, but it's just really annoying when I turn it off. I'm not s...

ummm....I do believe that I posted this in the wrong section.....

I'm very sorry.

In my new-to-linux stupidity, there is one thing that I could do in Windows, that I have not been able to figure out to do in Puppy. it sounds really simple too. Basically, I want VLC to play all of my Video files by default. I want an Audio Player of my choice(Aqualung for now, until i get around t...

yes there is. I've been using Linux for exactly two days, and even I knew that.

so openbox is pretty nice. however, I want to get a Pager and a System Tray to use with this (I DO NOT want a complete Panel, I am using WBar). I can't seem to find any Pagers and Trays that are installable for me on Puppy. any help here? on the Guide there were a multitude of options, but I don't k...

ok, i saw that there was a Puplet based around running the MMORPG Dofus.

however, I don't want the puplet. I just want the game itself.

is there any way to get this on Puppy?
