A little confused after reading the thread... So right now are you facing issues booting from the CF or from a Live CD without any storage devices attached?

Nicely done, OscarTalks. Installed your pet, using Slimboat as I type, on Precise 5.4.3. I was looking for a lightweight alternative to Seamonkey as I'm running on only 256MB of ram. Youtube works but with frequent stuttering of both video and audio. Using Htop to check the usage shows regular spike...

I just learnt how to do a manual frugal install. :lol: Beta 2.7. SolidPup, version 511 on Tue 9 Oct 2012 Chip description: 2.0 VGA compatible controller Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) oem: Intel(r)845G/845GL/845GE/845GV Graphics Chip Accelerat...

Thanks for the quick reply Tman. I just tested out your new patch for Mplayer on my .mkv files. Without Solidpup511_Mplayer_fix-0.2.pet : Left click: Nothing happens Right click -> Open with -> Mplayer: Mplayer stuck, same issue With Solidpup511_Mplayer_fix-0.2.pet : Left click: Mplayer stuck, same ...

I'm currently using the old Tint2 version. I knew .mkv files couldn't play (Mplayer would be stuck with the CPU at 100% load) while .avi files could play fine. I assumed it must be a codec problem, though I didn't try with other video formats. However, the Solidpup511_Mplayer_fix.pet doesn't seem to...

. Tman, this TINT2 puppy is awesome. This would now be my first recommendation for anyone with a PC of similar age to mine (about 10 years). To be honest I think I prefer the appearance and driveablity of TINT2 ahead of the full SolidPup. It is trim, tight and fast. Really nice job. . I heartily ag...

4. x11vnc_server-0.9.4B. This seems to be a no-fuss answer, and it does work. Regrettably my host machine's screen is 1200x1600, and the client machine is 1024x768. The result is messy and awkward to work with because of the vertical and horizontal scrolling. I'm using x11vnc_server-0.9.4B on my pu...

Thanks for the warm welcome Eyes-Only. A small community already feels cosier than a large, commercialised one.
No doubt my exciting adventure has only just begun.

No wonder most of the users in this forum are more experienced in commands and scripts. And that's not a bad thing when it comes to linux. :) I don't perceive the age gap here at all. I'm 24 this year. Tinkering with computers led me to look past windows. Started with Knoppix, then Ubuntu and finall...

Hi everyone, my first post in the forum. :D Been using Wary for some time, decided to try virtualizing Puppy but I can't take 800x600 res on a 1920x1080 screen if Guest Additions is not installed. I can confirm what SFR said here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=590125#590125 works f...
