Oops! Missed that bit.

I have had problems in the past when I've copied something from Puppy (frugal on USB stick) to my windows HDD. When I rebooted into Windows the files were not there. Fortunately it was on a partition that had been created specifically for Puppy/Windows file exchange. A chkdsk on the partition reveal...

After much playing I believe I have discovered the rules of sfs creation. There seems to be 3: 1. The files you want to be in the sfs must be in /usr or a sub-directory under /usr If the files are in any other directory structure, it will not work. I was trying to get the files to go into /root/my-a...

Trying hard to follow what you are telling me. Unfortunately, I renamed the folder AFTER creating the sfs, so I don't think your comment applies. [EDIT - but see right near the end of this reply] I did actually completely delete that folder tonight so OpenBve did not exist anywhere other than where ...

Running Frugal Precise 5.4 I have installed OpenBve, which, for the uninitiated, this is a great little train sim. I also had to load and compile mono in order for it to work, along with TAO, SDL and libgdiplus. It seems Precise already comes with OpenAl, so that was one less thing to do. I then dec...

Do you hibernate or shutdown your 'doze?

If you hibernate and then run Puppy you will certainly get this problem.

A shutdown of Windows, in my experience, means Puppy can always write to your HDD

Hi, I do not know if the taskbar can be completely removed, but until someone contradicts me, I can tell you that that as a "next best thing", the taskbar can be made autohide like another operating system that we could mention but try not to!!!!! You don't say what Puppy version you are u...

I don't know if this is of any use, and you might still need help from more experienced persons than me, but take a look at this: http://linux-tablet-pc.dhs.org/ There are sections about Nvidia drivers and "Portrait". I have never tried this - I found the site many moons ago when taking a ...

I've been looking to see if there was a Freecell out there that I could use with Puppy (I'm running a full install of version 3.00)...... I downloaded and ran the program - no problem....... I kept forgetting I was running Puppy, it is soooooooo close to the windoze version..... Nice.........Very Ni...

Hi, Well, the scandisk did the trick - or rather it led me to the solution of the problem. Windows XP does not have scandisk, unless it's buried somewhere, so I booted off a '98 floppy disk and ran scandisk. Lo and behold, it found errors on the FAT32 partition. After fixing them, I rebooted in XP. ...

Hi All, I was running Puppy 3.00 on a USB thumb drive, frugal style. Ripped a CD, saving the files to my mounted FAT32 partition on my internal hard drive. The drive had been mounted via Pmount as /mnt/hda8, showing as a 502M VFAT partition. After I'd shut Puppy down and booted up into windows XP, t...

Hmmmm! I guess I COULD be a bit miffed - I write my life story and all I get is "you are right"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heh, heh....just kidding. However, it IS thanks to this forum and the various Puppy web pages that I was able to make what I thought was an informed decision - proven by ...

Hi all, First some information about me and my PC. 1. I've got an HP TC100 tablet PC, Transmeta Crusoe 1GHz processor, 30GB HDD, 768MB ram, built in ethernet/modem/2 X USB 2.0 ports and wireless. 2. It's currently running XP Pro, tablet edition - sort of, because I've also got SP2 which although sti...

I installed Puppy on mine just the other day and it WAS formatted (Puppy 1.0.4) - the one file I had on it was gone after the Puppy install. (Luckily it was also on my PC HDD )

The USB key format is still recognised by windows - I haven't checked but I assume it's FAT.
