Also FRUGAL is a legitimate term in linux It was first a legitimate word in the English language, see here: Dictionary. :) Diving into etymology; it's derived from Latin frux (en. fruit) - so, why not keep with frugal, and change the term "full" to carnal for to emphasise the difference o...

number77, Oh boy. My 413 time is very far behind me and I didn't realize it didn't have the 3fs option then. Now I know a 2fs can be transformed to a 3fs with tune2fs and the -J option. But I don't know if 413 will recognize and load a 3fs. If you want to try, start with pfix=ram and backup the 2fs ...

rox-filer headers

rox-filer headers
I don't know from when one can move around headers in a rox-filer window.
Very nice. Is this an Exprimo exclusive?

But a re-positioning of the headers don't stick on a next instance.
I didn't see a way in the options to make such a change permanent.

Is this possible?

You have to study each panel in a procedure and read all that is mentioned. The create save file gives you a choice to create a 2fs save file or a 3fs file. There is comment on the selection. Best choice is to create a 3fs file. Restart the PC and boot from our puppy with pfix=ram. After the first s...

When creating a save file, it is best to choose a 3fs type and not a 2fs type.
2fs types tend to corrupt quite easily.
This is mentioned in the create save file procedure.

My first encounter with guy dog is 5.0.1 Installed using my usual FRUGAL Lin'N'Win method. It's running. But configuring isn't really user-friendly.

I remember when I joined the forum, quite some time ago now, there was mention of poor man's install. I didn't feel this as negative. Just another term I had to learn. Bit by bit FRUGAL came in the picture and poor man's faded out. English not being my mother language, I don't associate FRUGAL with ...

If you have that issue you describe it means shutdown isn't done properly.

Be careful.
Formats for history, bookmarks and the like are different between 1.X.X and 2.X.X
So always make a backup of the user profile to a safe place before upgrading, in case you have to revert to the earlier version.

number77,
I would re-format partition 2 even to the same format you had before, to be sure there are no leftovers from the previous attempt.

FRUGAL and FULL install are so well known in the forum here that it would be unwise and give confusion to change this.

Also FRUGAL is a legitimate term in linux, see here

@Béèm: PSUBDIR is a Puppy parameter not Grub4Dos. My directories are only one level deep. I will try it in a minute (with Grub4Dos) when I've got 5.3 to try.

That could be.
When having a bit more time, I'll try he 5.1.1
But if I remember well, 5.1.1 has always been kinda troublesome.
