I'm back

I am planning on being at this meeting. Hopefully, I won't be too late getting home and logged on.

Hi Brian,

I've been away for a little while, but I'm working on something that will assist other programmers to accomplish something very similar. I'm still going through tons of messages, but I'll be back on the project in the very near future.

Someone dropped "Megapup2.txt" and "Megapuppy002.txt" to my ftp server. I copied it to "readme.txt" in the megapuppy directory listed above. THANKS!

I've uploaded the three files listed in my last post to:
ftp://puppyfiles.us/pub/releases/megapuppy/

megapup002.pup 301133 14.03.06, 09:13 usr_more.sfs 333352960 14.03.06, 13:23 usr_more.sfs.md5.txt 47 14.03.06, 13:27 Mark, Your instructions talk about the usr_more.sfs file, but not the megapup002.pup file which has the same date stamp as the usr file. What do we do with the .pup? Thanks, Babbs PS...

I'd gladly turn over the wiki pages I have on USB to someone more knowledgable who is willing to work on them. I try my best with what I know. :) One problem to consider with the USB 1.1 ports is that it takes longer to transfer the files from the drive to the system than it does with USB 2.0 ports....

Hallo Enrico, Willkommen zu Puppy Linux! :) As you can see by the discussion in this thread and others, Puppy is efficient and lean. Smaller is better. I would be interested in Mark's review of your program after you have made it as small as you think is possible without breaking it. Yes, a link to ...

Mark,

Here are a few examples: http://www.geeks.com/products_sc.asp?cat=373

By using the cooler pad, my laptop stays cool enough so that the main fan doesn't think it needs to come on (bad things happen when it does).

I made a few noises during the Foundation meeting when the topic of encryption (XOR) came up. I see XOR as a way to keep honest people honest. The average Windows user won't know how to "break" the XOR setup. I also agree that it is about as secure as taping your password to the bottom of ...

these are still just another cool toy to me.

I liked that part best...

So I can run it just some minutes to backup files, then must break.

My fan died too, instead of spending US$200 to get it fixed, I bought a cooler pad. Its been working like a charm.

Not science (just memory), but I seem to recall a huge difference when I upgraded my USB 1.1 ports to USB 2.0. My imagination? I don't know...

I'm certain there is a solution, since i succesfuly used another Small linux distribution, "the System rescue CD" from a usb stick ( http://www.sysresccd.org ) with the same machine. I do not know the HowTo, but they made it work. So there must be way to make it work with Puppy also. The ...

Dan, I'm sorry that things haven't worked out for you so far. I think your last post was the first time you indicated that you were working with a laptop. Believe it or not, sometimes its the little details that get ya. As I mentioned in another thread ( http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=6...

Fox,

I'm sorry. This thread dropped off my radar screen. I'm adding this as a "bump to the top" effort of getting someone else to comment.
