Sorry. I thought GRUB meant GRUB Legacy as found in every Puppy I have seen and GRUB4DOS was the other option. I used Ye Olde GRUB. Every previous version of that I have seen in Puppy creates menu.lst automatically. I also thought the version was established by the title of this thread: "Lucid ...

I just copied the Windows section from the menu.lst in a working Puppy and all is well. However, whatever one thinks of the different GRUBs, is not popping up an irrelevant text file instead of adding Windows to menu.lst a bug? This seems like an instant deal killer to beginners who try to dual boot...

I installed this to a hard drive. In the past the Universal Installer also installed GRUB and it automatically found all my Linux and Windows bootable partitions (and some non-bootable ones). This one makes me install GRUB more or less manually. When I click on the option to add a Windows or DOS par...

Has anyone tried recently to use packages for this flavor of Puppy from NLLUG? They had been my favorite source of all kinds of things but the latest packages I downloaded from there failed to install. Because most of the computers I work with do not have an Internet connection, I burned the pets to...

Where is the remastering script? I have not been too confused as I have used Debian daily for over two years. But on the first page of this thread many expected this to be more like a Puppy and less like Debian (with which many were not familiar). Hardware here is a pretty much stock HP DC5750 with ...

I just downladed the file from the first page of this thread. It's working for me and I am typing this from the browser. I also instqlled ssh with synaptic and the R statistical programming language (39 files) and both worked fine. I can't help with the technicalities of permissions but Puppy normal...

Boots OK but auto-selects a resolution I can't read. I am offered a chance to fix that and I do but after the resolution change the icons and bar across the bottom of the screen disappear. It's as though I am just getting part of the screen at the old resolution magnified. If I change the resolution...

Thanks. I think of Java as the greatest tool for slowing down computing since Windows so I wonder how this will work out on antique hardware. I am working with the 233Mz machine now and will post what I learn as I learn it. I discovered the chip is a Cyrix 686. It is supposed to be like a Pentium 30...

The reason Puppy's system requirements are so vague is that Puppy is so light that the applications you want to run will be the limiting factor rather than your choice of OS. Someone mentioned video. Generally, entertainment applications require far more resources than productivity applications. Pup...

Not a Puppy guru but an experienced user of DVD-RAM. I'll add a bit to this old thread in case someone else finds it via a search. DVD-RAM is generally problematic. It would be easier if a DVD-RAM drive handled only DVD-RAM disks, or if those disks could be assumed to be in some standard format. Man...

I have run Win 3.1 on Linux in DOS Box. The site where I got instructions seems to have disappeared but there are others (which I have not tried myself). Then install the games.

/usr/lib/libgnomeui-2.so.0.2000.1 is what/where I have in Mepis 8.. You could boot Mepis from live media and snatch that file. You might have to rename it or link with the name gLabel is looking for. For Slacko you might look at a Slackware disk. It may be one file inside a package of libgnomeui stu...

...and then to run yacas from the command line you have to type run-yacas. (Thanks for the PET -- yacas is cool!-)

In three tries over two days the download stalls at 7-9%. I tried both Firefox and Konqueror.

This might be of interest for your smallest Sage Live and maybe even for the larger one. Lout is similar in function to LaTeX and troff. Indeed, it borrows ideas, techniques and conventions from these typesetting systems. . For simple documents, Lout, LaTeX and troff offer much the same functionalit...

Actually in Windows I install LyX and IT installs MiKTeX. I do it that way because then they are installed in compatible fashion and can find one another. Not sure which package manager you refer to. I thought Sage Live was built on Lucid Puppy and that Lucid Puppy could install Ubuntu Lucid package...

I just looked at my manual for the ancient PC TeX 3.1 and it required 8.5 Mb of disk space . I have installed LyX for Windows many times -- usually unsuccessfully. It's huge and I think the pholosophy is to include everything anyone might ever need. As I recall, one install option was a smaller pack...

OK, I don't have any solutions but I have spent some time trying to isolate the problem. The problem I was having was not with LyX layouts but with LaTeX document classes. In particular, if I tried to open the LyX welcome document it complained that the file defining the article class was missing. T...

Thanks. That Emacs seems to work. LyX runs but complains that it can't produce output because the article style is missing. Sounds like a broken link somewhere? (What comes up when I run LyX varies -- this error message appears when it opens its Welcome apge. Other times it opens nothing and I just ...

Ah, it's coming back to me. The link you provided above for Emacs actually gets me gnuplot. That must be why I looked elsewhere. Your link cliams to offer version 23.2 and I found 23.3 elsewhere. Do you have a working link to 23.2?
