Thanks for the replies! very helpful.

If my distro specs say BionicPup32 19.03

Is that the same as version 8: bionicpup32-8.0-uefi.iso?

Or is 8.0 newer?

Thanks

Right now I have 4 computers all with dual frugal installs on separate linux partitions, one copy of upupBionic and one copy of Studio 1337. I flip back and forth depending on what type of work I'm doing.

Thanks BigPup.

My xf apps are setup. Working well.

Well I can tell you one thing. Revolution or not, I have not had to fire up a Windoze machine in the last 6 months. My puppies do it all.

I love using xfe file manager, and xfwrite, and xfimage, but it's a little annoying seeing the file list in xfimage and having to manage files from xfe. Couldn't xfimage be a preview window in xfe? Same as xfwrite, a text previewer in xfe.

I can't do it of course, just wondering.

and I did a remaster of Puppy Studio back in the day, when it was still called Puppy Studio. Pretty cool, new systems booted up with my name on it!

damn. I used syncthing and shared folders in the root directory. I liked the idea, because I have 9 instances of puppies available, The data is sync'd, the desktop and apps are sync'd because they were copied from another puppy initially. If I gum up one on a specific machine, I can go back and grab...

Actually guys, it's a much simpler reason. I get tired of maintaining so many pupsave files. I'm getting spoiled by puppy. Just being able to backup an entire system with data into one neat package is not enough for me. I've been copying save files to replicate systems for sometime, and sometimes wi...

er...yeah, there's that too! No sound.

It must be ALSA, because it's doing the same thing on Studio 1337 v3.

Problem as stated above, upupBB19 on USBext3 running a Dell Intel i5, sets the audio hdw both analog and digital to hdw0

simple workaround?

I could post a report from the alsa

Yeah, the operating system is operating hardware, so the two systems are different. But I can still just copy a savefile to another device. It's all a little beyond my comprehension. I just need a mainframe I guess!

Am I talking about Network Boot? I've never used it, so am in the dark.

sfs on the fly files are brilliant.

Thanks for making them.

I will check these out and let you know how it goes! Thanks.

I just downloaded the Iron 58 sfs and it's running nicely on studio 1337, which is some version of Xenial. My question is: should I try 75, which seems to need a lib config pet installed, and would that pet be necessary on Studio 1337 (Xenial) no need to break the system if it's working is my thinki...

Is it possible to use a sync application like syncthing to sync the home directory, or at least the pupsave directory on linux partitions, to essentially run the same OS on different machines. Perhaps the machines could not be actively running simultaneously. Or perhaps they could. Let's say I was o...

Here's a trick to get the best of both worlds. Sync a dropbox directory, in other words a directory within the dropbox directory. As long as the machine with dropbox installed is on the network, dropbox files are uploaded to their server. So you can still have web based access on random computers. S...

Thanks again bigpup!

I forgot about updating the ppm. XFE is working fine!

Thanks bigpup,

I'm running 32bit, unfortunately (because I noticed ubuntu support for 32bit will soon be ending), but I'll try the ppm.

Two questions about sync thing. I have it running on two machines and it's great! Question one has to do with save files and device identifiers. I often just copy my pupsave directory from a frugal hard drive install into another separate USB install, so I can take my system in my pocket. If I were ...
