G'day DuMar, With all the memory and storage you've got, why not try a non-Alpha 64-bit Pup like 64BionicPup? This Pup must be nearly up to Omega! But I don't know if Lick can do multiple Pup installs? Those in the know could probably just do a manual install (create a new subfolder and copy the Bio...

G'day Sailor Enceladus, Thank you for this very good 64Slacko Pup. Having no problem with this Pup as-supplied, I tried one of ozsouth's newer kernels (5.3.15) and was surprised to see the difference in size for the zdrv - new kernel's much smaller than the old, 29MB vs 105MB. I was even more surpri...

G'day spiritwild, This save-file/folder version, B2T, backs up only the save-folder of the Puppy while it is running. B2T is based on the original 'Hot-Puppy-Filesave-Backup' now quite a few years old. I believe rcrsn51's excellent Puppy "Save Folder Backup and Restore" works only on a non...

G'day glene77is, The Times They Are A-changin': >>>David S., I think you live across the International Date Line, because Murga sorts on date, and yours is offset ! You're of course correct about me being well ahead of you time-wise. A reply for those crazies in the US who say the 'world will end to...

G'day glene77is, Tried successfully today's version (.sh) in a 64-bit Pup (Fossa) and a 32-bit Pup (Bionic) and this has what I was wanting in my above post. Did the job with no reference to a USB flash drive :lol: . I'll continue to try it in other Pups when I boot to them. Up to you to make it col...

G'day glene77is, Thanks for your continuing developments of this. I tried all your recent "mono-colour" versions and these worked where the earlier coloured version also worked, 32-bit and 64-bit Pups. But again, in very old Pups like WheezyPup that use a savefile not a savefolder, no dial...

G'day 666philb, Is it something I've done (again :roll: ), but I cannot get 'Open As Text' to work in Fossa64+1 (screenshot example [- going off-topic- I'm trying to open the script that runs a Portable Browser which is incorrectly using a lib file from Fossa when I thought it was only to use its ow...

G'day DuMar,

If the program's window extends off/below the monitor screen hiding, say, the "OK" or "Enter" button you're trying to click on, have you tried holding down the <Alt> key then dragging (with the mouse or equivalent) the program window up the screen?

David S.

G'day 666philb, Made a frugal of 64fossapup9.0.1 but also added the "binned" ydrv from 9.0 - shame to waste most of its useful applications which work in 9.0.1. Chromium and kodi didn't but I have other options for these. Only niggle so far is CUPS pdf-writer - seems to be missing from the...

G'day 666philb, Thanks for another Pup development. I can confirm forum-member watchdog's post that CUPS is not yet working. Like watchdog, I switched to a different kernel - one of ozsouth's, a 5.4.8 - and got CUPS to run to add my Epson printer-scanner. However, CUPS still has a problem as I could...

G'day Ryuu1506, Keef's post is correct and up-to-date. I'm a bit (a lot?) old-school and as you see from my laptop's menu.lst, it has a briefer location descriptor for the root line missing from your original menu.lst: # Frugal installed Puppy title Puppy bionicpup64 8.0 (sda1/bionicpup648.0frugal) ...

G'day Ryuu1506, Welcome to the kennels. Can you let us know which Puppy you are installing? 64-bit or 32-bit? Some come with slightly different installers to others, and some use different Grubs or Grub4Dos to enable booting of the install. Are you using Puppy's Installer from a Live-DVD or USB? Whe...

G'day glene77ls, Just tried your latest in a Wheezy Frugal Pup (screenshot). It has a save file of about 190MB which is mostly unused (screenshot). Running from the desktop icon, I saw the first start-up dialog box/window (screenshot) but then nothing? Tried it again. Still nothing. Third time and I...

G'day glene77ls, Just caught up with your improved B2Tar :oops: . While continuing in our isolation here in OZ, I'm going through my oldest Puppies partition updating these for my new Internet connection via Wifi. I'm also adding a 'hot backup' as these were mostly from before the time of its introd...

G'day nic007, Thanks for letting me know about EasyBCD. Downloaded the free-version .exe, installed it on my W7 laptop and edited the default operating system to be Puppy linux. Still at the bottom of the Windows Boot Manager list of OSs but is now the default OS (Grub list anyway) booting after 5 s...

G'day boof, I too have recently had to fall into Mike Walsh's 'trap for the unwary' and bought a TP-Link TL-WN823N wifi adapter. Given the depletion of computer goodies on-sale due to everyone here home isolating and widely using the internet, my choice for a replacement wifi dongle was restricted t...

G'day nic007 & enrique, Thanks for your posts. enrique, To answer your question, booting my laptop, I have the black screen that is shown in nic007's link - except I have "Windows 7" first in the white box with "Linux operating system" below it. I'd like this order reversed. ...

G'day, I have a Samsung laptop which came with Windows 7. I felt I should keep this new-fangled W7 for emergency MS program use over the XP on my years-older (under-the-)-desktop. So, back then, I used the Windows Boot Manager to achieve a dual booting - Windows7 on ntfs and a grub-listing for multi...

G'day bigpup, I had a longer look at ozsouth's link. Does it work if there are two or more wifi adapters in the computer? My problem was the naming/numbering of wifi interfaces when there's two in the computer. On my laptop, I wanted my USB adapter to be wlan0 and not the inbuilt adapter which gener...

G'day ozsouth, Thanks for the link. It seems to be for Live Pups. My issue is my laptop with a poorly performing in-built wifi and a USB dongle that is better but gets relegated to wlan1 or to something like wlxyz123abc. My pwidgets and conky configs are set to report wlan0. So the better USB, whate...
