Linux Format mag have over the past months had Puppy 3.01 and 4.00 in 4 of the last 9 mags that I have.

If memory serves me right they suggested Puppy as being most suitable for using on a USB pen drive.

If the are looking for more then by all means give them an e-mail and see what develops.

Can anyone suggest what would be the best docking station.

I want to connect my monitor ethernet cable modem USB printer and cordless keyboard and mouse.

I am using 4.0 on DVD but hope to put 4.1 on a laptop.

Thanking you in anticipation

I downloaded the RC last night and was unable to boot the system after the initial boot. As usual Puppy will not properly display as I have Nvidia graphics and consequently I have to download the drivers. In normal circumstances I use the setup menu and set the firewall on followed with the network ...

I had a look at your Mini version only to find that it was impossible to use as it lacked Nvidia drivers. The difficulty is that on opening Muppy the desktop does not properly display. Using Barry's 4.0 the same problem comes up but there I can having opened up an internet connection drag a web page...

Like you I have 4.0 on a drive. To use it with a PC using Windows I have to ensure that the boot cycle is properly set. At home I have the cycle set to read any USB drive followed by CD/DVD drive and finally the Hard Drive and starting up with the USB attached works a treat. If I am anywhere else I ...

puppyluvr Many thanks for your reply. I have been looking further into things and it appears that I am getting into a fix. The Iomega drive I purchased was shown as plug and pray and I was advised that it would be ok for loading Linux. Now when I attempt to back tract to obtain the information you r...

I have been attempting to load version 4.0 on to an external hard drive without success. Currently I am using a USB 2GB pen drive without any problem and a multisession DVD+RW. As I have been having problems with my internal HD I wanted to keep all matters Linux totally apart from Windows. Using the...

rcrsn51 Having had a look at things in the cold light of day I think it is rather the case that when I applied the fixmbr that Grub was removed from whereever it resides and is no longer available to boot from the USB external HD. When I load Puppy from by Gizmo I can see all the 3 HDs and the cd/dv...

rcrsn51 Just when I thought that you saved my life you come back with this. You must be physic as having used the fixmbr as instructed I can't find the external drive on XP. It will not show up at all. It will not show up as a plug and pray drive and if I have the external drive on and attempt to bo...

rcrsn51 Many thanks for your prompt reply. I am happy to say that I am writing this from XP or to be truthfull am happy that she who must be obeyed is happy. Now perhaps I will be able to get back to working with Puppy. I now want to investigate things about puting Puppy on the external HD but I wil...

After everything it came to about the 11 GB mark. What I had not been told was that there was a mix of the old and new camera to although there were in excess of 7000 pictures space was not as bad as forecast by some in the forum.

rcrsn51 At no time have I dual booted XP with Puppy. I have always kept them apart working from the CD or my Gizmo drive. I am unable to boot to XP on my C drive. If I attempt to boot using the internal HD I get an error message. Grub Loading State1.5, Grub Loading, please wait, Error 21. If I start...

Many thanks for your reply.

I think that I will just be patient and await 4.1 arriving

Using Puppy 4.0 I have been offered an updated version of SeaMonkey 1.1.11.

Do I accept this as offered or does it require further processing within the Puppy setup. Additionally will this be updated in 4.1 final which is expected shortly. If this is the case I will patiently await 4.1s release

Using Puppy Universal installer I followed the same route that I used when downloading to my 2.0 Gizmo drive with the exception of the drive selecting in this instance USB Hard Drive. Everything seemed to go sweetly but when I attempted to boot from the HD it would not load. I searched for grub prob...

rcrsn51 I followed the link http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000465.htm provided by davesurrey and it was one of the numerous pages provided by Google (1 of 230,000). That was why I took one look at the search and ran. It is obvious that this a recurring problem as it took a lot of reading thro...

davesurrey Many thanks for your post. Strangely enough I had looked at this via a Google search and initially it scared the life out of me. Having resolved the picture problem I have re-read it and from what you say it now looks a bit clearer. FYI you were right on your assumption of XP on the HD an...

Many thanks for the information. By the look of things I will have a lot of reading to do over the weekend.

Firstly I am going to get XP up and running again to keep the peace and then I will see how things develop from there.

I am pleased to say that my life is safe for the time being. I have copied all the photos over to the new hard drive and will now address the NTLDR problem. aragon I downloaded your suggested print item only to find that having installed and rebooted that the programme does not display on the menu. ...
