Every time I turn on the laptop, this is how it goes. http://i.imgur.com/6D3kFLo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/HBFWKEV.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ZwiFVBA.jpg http://i.imgur.com/genBgUH.jpg http://i.imgur.com/bgBFYk8.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pNglqbK.jpg http://i.imgur.com/u22o4dS.jpg http://i.imgur.com/DWNmbQo.jp...

I'm going to hire someone to do data entry for me who is jsut in the neighbourhood and this is what i would give to her to do it for me.

yes she knows i have her computer. and i mean she already left it for years and no one is using it. its a T2 IBM thinkpad which the installed os is windows 2000. i don't think she will be using it still.

but she forgot the password and it was password protected by Avaya.

I tried booting a live puppy CD but seem didn't boot to my sisters old laptop and probably because its password protected. Any suggestion so i can install new OS?

i do have the DebianDog-Jessie. i did try those without systemd on it but seem not working. i have no idea they differ a lot.

have to download the Porteus-Wheezy-3.13.6-openbox.iso with systemd boot enabled. this should work.

which of the /syslinux/syslinux.cfg and /syslinux/extlinux should i edit to add my windows during bootup? To be honest i'm not sure about that without testing. I don't use syslinux much. But you can add the menu entry in both to make sure it will appear. I have all these in the menu and tried them ...

installed it frugal but i can't find the menu.lst, i have to edit it for it didnlt list my windows 7 in the boot menu during startup. If you mean frugal install on HDD partition using installer from DebianDog iso the menu.lst should be on the first hdd partition (most probably /mnt/sda1). You shoul...

installed it frugal but i can't find the menu.lst, i have to edit it for it didnlt list my windows 7 in the boot menu during startup.

it worked. I just installed tahr pup and run

found a tut. is this going to work with puppy?
http://itsfoss.com/multiple-skype-accou ... quick-tip/

in windows we can just add create a short cut of the skype exe file add "secondary/ to its path and your 2nd skype will work. i'm not sure how i can do it with puppy.

I can see there are tutorials on windows how to run multiple skype accounts and thought maybe it will also work with puppy. is this possible?

also. if i save the puppy file on sda as well. won't it ruin the file system as its ntfs and puppy is ext file system?

even when the mbr is on sda, it won't be mounted after saving the savefile on sdb. is this correct?

I'm careful not to mess windows because my wife uses this computer too and shes not use to puppy.

tried it but usb booting seem not helping even when i set my bios to boot thru usb.

if i install grub4dos on sda and the puppy in sdb, does it mean that the sda is mounted while using puppy?

i have a windows 7 one my hard drive now i wanted to use my usb to boot puppy. I'm about to install grub4dos and will edit its menu.lst to boot my usb. is this a safe way that i won't be affecting windows 7 later?

thanks for the replies guys. checked all the suggestions.

@Ted, have you tried the fatdogarm? seem like it will work.

do this pup work in raspberry pi?
just wante to know cause I really wanted to install pup to my raspberry pi.

I now have a raspberry pi board and since i like puppy than their os, I'd like to install puppy on it. I've already read puppi which i believe is still an alpha upto now.

is there any other puppy derivative that works on ARM?

thanks a lot. works well now.
