Problem is fixed.
I appreciate the support from members of this forum.

It is always necessary to read and eventually make notes of what you are doing. You should have noted the cat thing when you got it on the screen. @Béèm So you are the teacher type. Well instead of pinpointing others to what the should have done, you might consider just helping and explaining, beca...

And what is that 'cat'-line please?
That's what screwup was asking for.

Canadians seem to be people of few words aren't they rcrsn1? Maybe someone can enlighten this subject further. At first install a small screen popped up with a different text than rc adviced. It started with cat Three questions: - Can someone write down the 'cat' phrase again - Is it possible to ada...

Can you give me an advice: - remotedesktop or tightvnc - if so, with which version of puppy - with either solution can anybody tell me how to make a script in a way that puppy after being started will start any of these 2 clients automagically in full screen display I ask this question because I am ...

Yes I do.

For simple users like me maybe a pet would do.
Just download one file click on it, get the question whether you want to install it and off you go.

I installed the tighvnc viewer, but I cannot find how to start it.
It does not appear in the menu under Network and I cannot find it anywhere in the Puppy directories.
(this search function from ROX, I don't get it, I cannot search with it. (used to using Midnight Commander)

Thanks for the explanation and files in this thread. But still.......... I do like Linux, I do like Puppy, but why oh why does it take so much effort to install a printer. Having to use 3rd party programming downloaded from a forum with an explicit explanation on how to handle things. Why isn't Linu...

You know I'd love to live with Puppy but life is quite tough for beginners who want to manage simple tasks in Puppy. Here's my problem. I've got this HL 2150N printer I've got CUPS I can install something like HL something in CUPS and the printer works. On the internet there are 4 Linux drivers for ...

Found the fonts in c:\windows\fonts
Fast and complete

That gives much better results, except for the address and the text in the tabs.
Anyway, thanks

One more question: how do I grab a portion of the screen to be displayed like you did in your post.

@DaveS Your instructions in the link were clear and made installation simple. Although I coudn't find the update menu thing, Firefox appeared in the menu even without rebooting. The font links are dead. You could do me a favour by pointing a new link. B.t.w. How come Firefox has nice fonts in XP and...

sorry, posted twice.

@DMcCunney Meanwhile, assuming you've downloaded Firefox for Linux from Mozilla, what you got was a tar.bz2 archive. Uncompress the bz2 file, and you have a firefox3.6 tar archive. That can be extracted to wherever you want Firefox to live. (I put it in /opt) It will create a Firefox directory and d...

Hi, Finally I have 4.3.1 going with internet connection. With Puppy 2.13 I was able to download Firefox, Puppy guided me to click somewhere and I had a Firefox running. On 4.3.1 I download Firefox 3.6, click, unpack to /temp and I don't know how to go foreward. Must be very simple, but I cannot find...

Solution: Start with live CD Do NOT connect to the internet Install Puppy on Ext2 Connect to the internet The only difference I could find was that at first I connected to the internet and then installed Puppy on HD. Then there was this trouble that connecting worked but the browser could NOT connec...

I did a few more efforts with 4.3.1 Complete new HD install on ext2, 5 partitions on hd 3 NTFS, one ext2 and one Linux swap. The /etc/resolv.conf cannot be openend, nor deleted, nor renamed. There is an orange warning sign. Same goes for two oter conf files in /etc So I end up with a perfect working...

You're right. It is the CD

So Puppy doesn't even notice the presenceof the SD card reader.

Any clues on how on resolve this problem?

I'm on holiday and the SD Card from my camera is almost full. I want to download the pictures onto my laptop, which includes an sd card slot. PMount notices the presence of Matshitauj-840D card reader, designes it as hdc is9660 but refuses to mount it. Message box sais : ERROR: unable to mount hdc C...

The ping 74.53.27.162 and the http://74.53.27.162 work fine
http://www.puppylinux.com/ and ping www.puppylinux.com give negative results.

So where sould I look now?
