Puppy Linux never ceases to amaze me, Ever since I first discovered Puppy back in 2008 Puppy has always impressed me. Many lightweight operating systems seem to only have minimal multi-core support, Puppy Linux is different!! I just built a system using the new AMD FX-8350 CPU for media encoding and...

I've got an HP Compaq d530 SFF which is running Precise Puppy 5.4.1. I know that some 32bit operating systems can only use 3GB of ram but I can max out this machine with 4GB and intend to. Will Puppy be able to use the 4GB? It sounds a bit crazy I know but I like to get the most out of old systems w...

I recently had the idea to bring the old VMS commands to Puppy Linux and felt like posting about the project. I started things off with the simple alias command to get it off the ground. ----- EDIT: 11:44:16 AM 11/05/12 Added a few more aliases. EDIT: 09:52:20 PM 11/04/12 Very slowly moving along wi...

Very nice techniques, thanks for sharing. Will definitely play around with them this weekend.

My latest puppy setup.

Beryl + pwidgets + edited icons.

Glad everything's okay - really had me worried!

I have tried using both frostwire and PCTorrent to download the data.

I have my firewall and web server turned off, but I still can't seem to download the data.

Any ideas?

The download link for Beryl seems to be broken.

I'm using Lucid Puppy 5.1.1 and when running /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup, all I get is this: WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/. Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules ...done. Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules/etc/init.d/vboxdrv...

Got a new one. (same theme, better background)

On second thought maybe this will work, open up the ppm and type in liblzma1 that package should have your missing lib. Thank you, you have been allot of help. (makes me wish I could contribute more than I do) I have tried getting this to work in puppy in the past but failed. I am used to compiling...

What libs are you still missing? I may be able to just add them in for you. I only know of one at the moment. I can't seem to find it. Here's the message I get in the console: $ ease ease: error while loading shared libraries: liblzma.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory $

Wow, you're amazing! Ease is a nice app but obviously quite difficult to compile from source.

I'm searching for the libs to get it running in Lucid Puppy 5.1 and I'll be sure to post them here once I've found them all.

Can't think if any except "ease" which is not a networking app.

Thanks for compiling.

Interesting, I'll try to get one working in bochs.

You got it. http://puppylib.open-lib.net/index.html It always amazes me what specialized Puppy's are available . . . What specialized Puppy's have you been amazed by? :) It's so easy to remaster.

Wow. never knew one could do this. Thank you "rcrsn5" for posting.

Surprisingly I've never heard of "Lin'N'Win". Looks like great alternative to changing the MBR.
