another note: PuppyPackageManager can download and install programs/games from the Ubuntu (main,universe,and multiverse) 'repositories' - it's just not enabled by default In PPM there's a 'Configure Package Manager' button, and in the resulting window there's checkboxes for the Ubuntu repos. Once yo...

looking back over the thread,..

I *wish* I knew how this is done.. as far as I know it costs both money and time to learn though... I'm just an average web browser - it's way out of my league

ok, I was running as root with no samba just to let you know, I've updated my browser+flash and added iptables -A INPUT -j DROP to my /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall script (I figure these are good security measures), also I haven't talked to my friend as much just recently (he was ridding some windows machin...

"um should I left click or right click that?

------------------------An over-the-phone hack just never gets old

bugman: that was a funny post! "sucking my brain out" disciple::aux::nz: you are absolutely ryt hmm-so what happened was I was playing around with 'all' the configuration possibilities and I ended up throwing in Puppy 5.25 I think? as you all know it's now got a different setup and Hyper+D...

oh crap that's funny It seems you were grabbing a bunch of games for Puppy verson 4.0 series or even 2.0 series, but you (were using) a 5.0 series Pup. I hope that you are now having fun with Wary, and I think you should check out Puppy Arcade which is here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopi...

can I ask about your computer? how old is it and what kind of resources does it deliver?

to answer your questions nooby >we (mostly he) shared links to gifs, jpegs, and flash >he does have his own server - he swears by the use of it's vnc passthrough/proxy whatever capabilities and p2p use also >no I don't log my router's activities (I probably shouldn't be sharing that knowledge I thin...

I agree with nooby

It looks so simple, so almost too good to be true

Please explain as you've obviously done it.. and what (if any) are the 'consequences'?

ok, so I find like a minute later a latest flashplayer in .pet form http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=67969

ok, to update flash (mildly important maybe) you get it from softpedia http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Adobe-Flash-Player-for-Linux-Download-18853.html and unwrap it (just click on the .tar.gz file - puppy has an archive unwrapper-thingy - just click yes,yes,ok) , now replace (using two wind...

@SimpleWater: I hope you noticed the PPM has a big ConfigurePackageManager button that you can press to open up the 'whole' ubuntu lucid -main,universe,and multiverse- repositories???

@sickgut: I'm glad pussylinux is out, it sounds great and I'm sure to check it out!

(I actually know now to go into Puppy Package Manager ("install" desktop icon) and via the Configure Package Manager button, tick the ubuntu repositories (I chose main, multiverse, and universe) and then click the Update button before searching for chrome I think chrome is in ubuntu lucid ...

It could well have been flash, because both the firefox, chromium that I installed via quickpet, and flash were all out of date at the time I installed them (firefox has an updater built in that I ran twice to get fully up to date. chromium had to become chrome, and flash needed to be replaced via d...

no - I knew 'straight away' something was happening - puppy works FAST and almost never slows down ok, so clamav can have false-positives, well fprot (in puppy-lucid repo -in puppy package manager) is said to have less, you can try that (I'm assuming you are using 5.25, some earlier versions of pupp...

How can a curious person find out if his computer is affected? you can use f-prot or clamav http://puppylinux.org/wikka/ClamAV , (these are mainly for usb-drives and suspect downloaded files (that you'll be sharing to someone's windows computer) though, and maybe windows hdds) don't bother with rkh...

oh my gosh that attackpup is so beautiful

Hey I'm here, and I talked to him again -it not 'nevermind' I just don't live with him shouting across the living-room "hey bro.." He's a bit of a joking snobby guy, only saying that the my browser was too old and I need to update my sh*#. we've chatted and exchanged files, also meeting in...

So you say your firefox 3 series was pinging a .gov (us government) address repeatedly from a clean .iso -interesting- but you also say that you like to remaster too, this means your clean .iso may not have actually been a clean one I guess.. It's great to hear from Tazoc that a seperate connect-scr...

I know this might be beside the point (I've not read your whole post - just the title, and had to ask myself the same question) but "if" you are using a stock standard late puppy, why don't you just first set a password for your screensaver [lock-desktop icon] and then right-click and edit...
