hi everyone, Thanks for those tips. On chromium v 25.0.1364.160 the file to edit is called /usr/bin/chromium-browser and the line to edit looks like this exec $LIBDIR/$APPNAME $CHROMIUM_FLAGS "$@" This is near the end of the file, the line just before the last "else" line. Having...

Assuming you are launching Google Chrome via the script /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome open that file as text and look for the bottom line. Mine reads:- exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" Add those two items --user-data-dir and --allow-outdated-plugins to that line bef...

hi first, is this the place to ask about installing chromium and applying custom command line args? If I am asking ijn the wrong place, please let me know. If you are a mod and use wizardly powers to move this q, please pm me to say where it has gone, ta. OK, presenting problem is that chromium will...

... Here’s Why I think the ONLY reason we may be continuing to use current methods of ISO build is because of 2 reasons; No one has shown how to create an ISO using GRUB4DOS. There is no example(s) available to show how to take an existing ISO and use either ISOmaster, or GROWISOFS or ISOFS... to c...

Could you illuminate the Puppy community as to the list of major distros that use Grub4dos? There are two answers to that: "none", or "most except Ubuntu". I'll explain those in reverse order. Most distros use legacy grub (version 0.9something, it never quite reached 1.0). Grub4...

I had been using Precise Puppy as it comes from the .iso, without adding any pets. If you use wifi from more than one location I would very much recommend adding the frisbee pet, mentioned by cthisbear in an earlier post Like some of you I have been having issues with the supplied wifi networking. I...

... You should get a defrag program. ... A fast search there seems to be defragfs for Ubuntu, debian and slackware at the least.... Sadly, defragfs just uses cp -a and relies on the filesystem to do the actual defrag. This works on ext2 systems, and largely works on ext3, ext4, because of the way t...

So what other Linux OS should I try? Do try WattOS . It is an Ubuntu derived version that is smaller than Ubuntu and good for older machines. It has some innovations that Puppy does not. (for example it uses a compressed swap device residing entirely in memory - so when you swap out 4Mb it compress...

Sorry there was a bug in the original post. I will correct it, but if you looked at it before I posted this, please make the necessary correction When using fdisk, this is wrong ... When it has created the partition, it will be flagged as for Linux. "t" changes partition type, when asked f...

... Could you maybe include rcrsn51's approach too in the comparing and tell how that one are different? ... Sorry, I don't know enough about rcrsn51's approach to give a fair comparision -- this may be my loss of course because it may be lots and lots better for all I know., but there is so much i...

it is possible for Easy2boot with the .mnu approach to do both windows and installed puppies. Yes. The point of doing it this way is that the added flexiblity of the easy2boot layer comes at the expense of a small delay in the boot while the software figures out what it has got to offer. Grub4dos o...

I started out wanting to boot a diversity of .iso files, including other flavours of Linux. Scooby started out wanting mainly to boot multiple Puppies (I think?). Having said that, either method has the potential for considerable extension because both are based on Easy2boot. Wrong, Scooby boots di...

The "Maximum Upload Size: 0 Bytes" text just means that it's 'unlimited' - I have it, too, and I've posted attachments to the forum, before. :) ...but if there is indeed a hard limit of 256kB for an attachment, now, perhaps the text should be changed to reflect that. But when I tried to u...

The resulting usb stick will boot into one version of Puppy for normal working. It will also do a live boot of any number of other Linux distros just by including their .iso files. That is right, just drop in the iso and it will run! This is not the only way to do this: Scooby gives a couple of alte...

Please note: I just edited an earlier post to update the location of the bootlace.com file. To save you looking back I'll repeat the corrected info here.
