I'm glad I ran across this thread. I installed Linux Mint 10 and was wondering how to install Puppy as a frugal install inside the Mint partition. I put this in the Mint /etc/grub.d/40_custom file: menuentry 'Lucid Puppy 5.2' { set root='(hd0,1)' linux /puppy52/vmlinuz initrd /puppy52/initrd.gz } Th...

Another way: If you create a folder /root/Desktop , it is used by applications like Firefox and KDE in fresh installs. To have quick access to it in Rox-Filer, drag it on Puppys desktop. Then you can click on that folder, to see downloaded files for example. Mark After reading Pizzasgood's info, th...

How to Download to Desktop?
Okay, I had two questions: 1. How to establish a "Desktop Icon" shortcut, and 2. How to download an internet file to the Desktop I think I managed to answer the first question by searching........ just open ROX and drag the file to the desktop. I assume this creates a link, and does not co...

How to single-click desktop icons??
I've searched through the TEENpup menues and this thread, and can't seem to find out how to enable single-clicking the desktop icons instead of having to double-click them. The orig Puppy 2.14 is single-click for everything, I think. It messes me up shifting back and forth. If you start the file man...

Removing "makeactive" line did work.
Thanks rcrsn51, removing the "makeactive" line did the trick it seems, and Windows did boot w/o the line in there. Makes you wonder why it is in there in the first place?? I'm sure there is a good reason, but I don't pretend to know what it is!!

Boot Label using GRUB Won't Stick; Frugal Install-RESOLVED
I installed Puppy 2.17 as a Frugal Install in hda3. Swap is hda2. Existing Windows XP is hda1. Not wanting to change the MBR, I installed Grub to the superblock of hda3 and used Gparted to set the label to BOOT on hda3. When I rebooted the computer, Grub starts normally and I can select Puppy or Win...

Re: PETget won't connect to distro sites
I'm still not able to use the PETget package manager to install packages with any version 3 of Puppy, including 3.01. If I try "nluug" or "gatech" I get a pop-up message that says the site is UNREACHABLE, and asks if I'm connected to the internet -- yes I am; I can browse all da...

Performed a frugal installation easily to hda2 (dual boot with Windows2K on hda1) using Grub to supernode of hda2. Everything seems to work well except: Can't seem to get PETget package manager to work. I select the package to install (e.g. xine extra Codecs) and select the place to download the pac...

Running Puppy 3.00Beta2 in VMWare Server
I often run the latest version of Puppy in VMWare Server in my main computer before installing it to older computers to give away to folks that can't afford them (very satisfying activity, I must say). That way I can check it out for stability and bugs for myself. Anyway, this time it wouldn't boot ...

I've installed Win2K using the very same setup, but it won't boot up any version of Puppy. (I'm putting a dual boot on most old computers I give away to people who can't afford a nice new one.) I've swapped out the CD-ROM into another computer and Puppy boots fine. I've swapped another CD-ROM into t...
