I will follow this thread and see how it goes. For now though I must get a system up and running so I will do as I have always done. Then when I can I will play with the puppy settings on my own machine. When I get it the way I want it I can then put it to use in the public room in the future. Thanks

Hello; I have an old Win98se machine I am turning into a kiosk. It has been used as one for a while but now it wants to give me issues becaue my Clean Slate program is not compatible with some of the IE6 updates. Anyway what I was wondering is if I install puppy in this machine and then after my fir...

Will give that a try next weekend,

Been playing with darn near all Linux distros. Live CD's installed systems you name it. Puppy is still te one to keep. It just works and the fourm works.

Gonna try to answer back on everything but I could forget something. Ok here goes. I have a windows computer that I must keep and do strange things on. I use it to access remote computers to do support work so it is possible that I can cause problems on my install picking up something from the remot...

Can't believe I am the only one that has reported a lot of use on flash drives. I have to tell you for the price unless you live somewhere where they are very expensive you can not go wrong. I mean how many times do you burn a cd then only want part of what is on the cd. Then you make a new cd with ...

When I first started using flash drives several years ago 4 to be exact I read the details on how my drive worked from either the manufacturer site or the manual which you once got way back when got in the package with the drive, this is when they still supplied W98 driver cd with the flash drive. A...

I have only used Puppy for about 2 weeks now and I have to tell you I am hooked. There are several reasons. 1st reason and the best is this forum has good knowledgeable people on Puppy. I have yet to ask a question that did not get answered. I also tried the other small and large distros. I will not...

I do understand the life limits of a flash drive and I know using one as a swap file would reduce the life greatly. I do know some people that could care less (not me) how much money they spend and even if they had to replace the flash drive with the swap file once a month so long as fit their needs...

With Xorg everything is good now but will keep this code number just in case I need it in the future.

Although I am new at Puppy, I've been playing with it a lot and have discovered a couple things testing other Linux distros on a small hard drive with my main Redmond Drive pulled from the machine. I may be way off base here but sometimes new users have different ways to look at things because they ...

For what I am doing Depth 16 is just fine but will remember I can try 24 if needed. I sure wish the other Linux distros were as easy to work with. I have now tried about 10 to get a full program for full install on the system and not a single one can run my Hawking Wi-Fi. It is Ralink RT73 Drivers. ...

I think I am ready to install Puppy to the hard finally instead of using a cd or just a save file. If I do choose to do that I noticed a program called WakePup create boot floppy. Does that mean that I can install Puppy and choose not to dual boot? Then just use the wake pup floppy when I want to ru...

Well that went well. Thanks. Just took a minute because had to actually sign out of xvesa and log into xorg before the section in the file was generated about my monitor. Anyway here are the current settings from the file and I am now running xorg just fine with my monitor please let me know if you ...

I will have to check more into it tomorrow for specs when I get up not sure right off the top of my head how to bring up that info in Puppy. Been awake way too long. Anyway for now I am using an older computer to play with Puppy and believe the the Video is a standard Intel Onboard 810. The problem ...

Hello; Now that I have tried two other full installs of other Linux distros I just can't brag enough how good Puppy is. The only reason I am trying other distros is because Puppy don't understand my monitor. Every other Distribution of Linux and 3 versions of Windows give my monitor an ok to run at ...

This actually makes things better because since Puppy now has more swap space and won't harm Xandros, seems like all is well. I just need to get Wi-Fi up and running on Xandros which was simple on Puppy. Figuring I will need NDIS Wrapper in Xandros. Tried following the directions from the Ralink dri...

Thanks for the tips here. I typed free in the console and this is what I got. Mem = 254996 Used = 235768 Free = 19228 Shared = 0 Buffers = 21908 Swap = 385520 Used = 0 Free = 385520 Total = 640516 Used = 235768 Free = 404748 When I installed Xandros it did partitation my drive and create a swap file...

Hello; I was very surprised today when I found the memory listed in the tray suddenly tripled. Each time I started Puppy I always had 31.2Mb ram listed as available, today I ended up with 94.7Mb available. Here is what changed, if you can please explain why that would be great. My hardware changed a...

Got it.

Thanks now time to play more and see what else I can learn.

Would be great if I could find a great manual for Puppy that lists those kinds of things and a list of commands and what each does that can be run from control panel even if not specific to Puppy.

Outta here for the day.

Glad you thought my idea should work. Can't believe how much I am learning so fast but my busy season (Working on Windows systems) is approaching fast so I will have to slow down on the time I am spending on this project. Been working on this non stop for a week. Anyway not sure what you meant by Ju...
