Hi All
You all must have heard the Tech support phone call about how the user
broke their computer's "cup holder". Of course the cup holder the idiot was

Hi bigpup Yesterday was the first time I have ordered anything off of Amazon. I received an Amazon gift card for my birthday. I have no credit cards listed with Amazon. In fact up until yesterday I did not have an account with Amazon. What I am leading up to is that I have had a different experience...

Hi All
A friend of mine Joke was that he stated that he never numbered his

in any order

Hi Mikesir Thank you for your reply. I simply removed the flash drive and nothing bad happened. unfortunately I could not start Fire Fox. Duh. So then I tried to start Fire Fox first then remove the drive. That did not work either. Then I finally read your full reply and now will try the Copy method...

You mention booting then removing the flash drive. How does one do that? I am running a fugal install on a flash drive that every time I boot I get a message that flashes on my screen not to remove the drive.

I have automatic save off.

When I setup security questions I answer with something that has nothing to do with the question.

For example
What year were you born in? Harry

Also I never use the same answer twice.

Hi DuMar If you are using a savefile then you can use the root/downloads folder to save what you download. Your browser is probably set to save files to the root/downloads folder. As long as you do not save to your save file then what is in the root/downloads folder will not be there when you re boo...

Click on the house icon at the top left of your screen and then click on Web-Server directory. Search this forum for hiawatha and you will find ...

Hi All

bark_bark_bark A file manager that can't handle simple copy and paste, is simply a terrible file manager. I am confused. If you are talking on copying a file or moving a file from one directory to another I simply left click the file and drag the file to the directory that I want to copy or move the...

Hi All
I agree with all the praises of Puppy.
My first computer Vic-20

Then from there the normal progression 286 and so on.

HI Amaponian
The way to install Python is
you load the devx___.sfs file for your flavor of puppy.
The ___ is the name of your puppy. In the case of Slacko 6.3.0 the devx is
devx_slacko_6.3.0.sfs

Icon looks like a house. Navigate to the Startup directory. Right click in an empty space inside the Startup d...
