Awesome. Thanks!

Hi guys. I was wondering if it's possible to carry both 32 and 64bit versions of Puppy on the same USB - (since I have two 64bit laptops, and one that's 32bit) and if yes, are there are any complications involved?

[quote="mikeslr"]Hi Marble42, If it interests you, stick with it. The biggest mistake most people make is underestimating their ability to understand. Learning anything means taking the time to picture what’s taking place and the vocabulary to describe it. Someday, you’ll read a post and s...

I so enjoy reading this stuff. To think how it was created "out of nothing". How brilliant minds invested time and energy into creating it...

Too bad I understand only very little of it, but yeah, still quite exciting reading about it (-:

Great stuff! Thanks for all the help guys. Much appreciated (-:

Not confused. While I don't understand the actual terms, I really love reading about stuff like this. Puppy as an OS in general is very much to my liking. I absolutely love the idea behind it, carrying the OS on a USB. So cool! Additional question: When I have the complete system ready, everything l...

Thanks for answering guys. One question about frugal install on SSD though - if I do it that way, do I still have to use the USB stick every time in order to boot? Until now I only did USB boot and save on USB, or full install (a few years back, as a test only) - I never booted via USB and then did ...

Probably a silly questions, but since this is "beginners help" section, I figure anything goes. Live Puppy "lives" in RAM, which makes it fast. What about installed Puppy? Installed on a SSD (I have a small one, 30gb). Is there any downside performance vise? I'm guessing installe...

I have a Fujitsu laptop. Will check the BIOS and see what I can find.

And I suppose it is not possible to install Puppy in RAM itself (for those laptops with enough RAM)? That would be cool (and fast) (-:

My laptop has an SD card reader. Is it possible to load Puppy via USB, but then do an install on the micro SD card that will continue to be in the laptop?

Perfect! Will read the content in links carefully, then decide if I want to go fat or Slacko (-:

Much obliged!

I see. Thanks once again @Semme!

I'll just try Fatdog, but eventually I might go back to Slacko again, as long as I can increase the icons size, though overall whether the Frugal install is done via USB 2.0 or 3.0, boot speed isn't altered much, right?

Yes, that is what I meant, sorry.

Awesome stuff! Thanks guys!

I am currently downloading Fatdog 64 to give it a go. One question - if doing a Frugal USB install, how big is the difference between doing it on a USB 2.0 and USB 3.0? Does a 3.0 with nice writing speeds (say minimum 100mpbs) make the system load faster?

I downloaded Slacko Puppy 6.3, but I don't really like the 'menu on top' thing... Not sure why that was done? http://puppylinux.org/main/Download%20Latest%20Release.htm Will download Tahrpup 6.0 now and see if that's any better :-) Will also check the "font size from terminal" thing. Gosh,...

I actually tried that, but it only have me that one resolution as an option :/

As for system font size - can you please tell me where to look? Haven't used Puppy in a while so am kind of rusty. Sorry )-:

Hi guys, I am looking for a Puppy linux version that would allow me to change the resolution on my 13.3" laptop. Default resolution is 1920x1080, but that is just too tiny for such a small screen. I can barely see icons and letters :/ The most recent version (6.3) only allows that one resolutio...

Thanks yet again for the valuable tips bigpup. I'll be sure to give them a go!

... Is there something I can do to sort of increase the performance of FF (note that it is acting similarly on XP, and even worse on W7 which I uninstalled). The common-denominator could be slow-internet ... http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/tp/internet-speed-test.htm Nah. I am using a ...

Thanks for the info @OscarTalks! I appreciate it. The one thing I find very useful when it comes to FF is the ability to sync between computers. That being said, I will definitely give the lighter browsers a go. If all pans out nicely transferring bookmarks manually would only take some 10-15 minute...
