I obviously missed that thread.

Thanks for the quick reply. I understand that there's never enough time, especially when you NEED something done now. This is not one of those times. I dig SIP and although I couldn't really offer any help in the development or updating of pSIP, I would greatly enjoy using it and hope that renewed i...

Anyone using SIPPHONE?

As I was going through the menus of my full install Puppy, I saw a lot of stuff that made me think I should have gone with a "frugal" install. While I appreciate the variety and wealth of software, most of it would probably be only opened once, just out of curiosity. I remember, years ago,...

Re: Puppy without boot disk/flash drive SOLVED!

Simply put: Can I install puppy as the sole OS, to be used without a cd in the tray or a flash drive in a USB port? Absolutely. If you have done a hard drive install that won't boot on its own, you have not set up a boot loader properly. Look at the automated install procedure here. Thanks much! On...

Thanks all

Thanks to all for the great feedback and advice. I quickly summed up the offerings and tried the Menu/System/Grub bootloader cfg option. Basically, I chose the simple install-specified "/dev/sda/boot" as the proper folder-use MBR. I'm pretty sure that when I selected "Full Install&quo...

Will a Puppy hd install always need a boot helper? SOLVED!

I've been through a full install process on a freshly formatted HD, and although I kept looking, and hoping, for a cue that a boot disk/drive wouldn't be necessary, I never got it. Simply put: Can I install puppy as the sole OS, to be used without a cd in the tray or a flash drive in a USB port? Tha...

Shep and Rhadon

I appreciate the help. To answer/clarify- haven't installed Puppy. I'm still booting from the CD. Without the BIOS set to check CD first, Puppy won't load. With default settings, where could my data be? I've tried the usual places, but can't seem to find anything. Am I in a "layer" above o...

Some clarification

Thanks for the help so far. To start, is my problem/description good enough for someone to understand? My "home folder" is actually meant to describe the "file" icon on the desktop. Prior to the ROX filer error, I was putting all data in the "my documents" folder here. ...

Very confused

I hope that I can describe this well enough for someone to help me. I am currently running Puppy over Ubuntu 9.10, in a dual boot off CD on laptop 1. I cannot remember which version of Puppy that I originally installed. Puppy was doing fine and I was using it primarily over Ubuntu. Suddenly and with...
