Extract the files to a folder eg /makesfs this creates /makesfs/folder1, makesfs/folder2 etc 3. Run the script dir2...

Hi I am installing the French version of puppy for a friend, who also wants OOffice in french. I have installed the english version of OOffice the cutdown 3 version 2.2 and the missing files pet. Then I installed the PET OOffice-2.3_pack-fr, which should install the interface in French. But it does ...

Hi Muggins, thanks for the help,/var/log exists. So I have run in the extracted directory for turboprint 1.96-4 ldd xtpsetup which returns (how can I copy and paste from terminal-just an aside) a list of libraries; linux-gate.so.1, libgtk-1.2.so.1, libgdk-1.2.so.1, libgmodule-1.2.so.1, libglib-1.2.s...

Hi I am trying to install turbo print also on Toutou Puppy the French version, I have extracted the files to / and then run ./setup the program reports that it cannot start the xwindows installation tool but continues anyway then reports that that /var/log/turboprint/install.log does not exist, then...

Thanks drbongo,

I have installed the files now, but the eeepc takes longer to boot up booting puppy from the internal SD than it does when it boots up with puppy from a attached USB drive. In all the boot time from the SD is 90secs from the USB 45 secs.

Have you experienced something similar.

Hi I have tried installing from a USB drive to the internal Flash/SD card using the PUI but I get an error each time when I try to point the installer to the files on the USB drive. Could I just copy the files from the USB onto the internal card, or would that cause problems. I have read the tutoria...

I am looking for a ready made puppy 3.0 or later Virtual PC has anyone got one knows where one is that I can download, preferably with Wine installed. I have a work requirement that I hope puppy will resolve, but do not have the time or quite frankly the ability to create the above myself. So I apol...

Hi I am looking for the quickest booting way of getting an MP3 music player onto an old laptop and using that as a music player in my house. So is there a dedicated distro out there, I have not found one, has someone made a puppy version or are there some threads that I have missed that may help in ...

You've all probably seen the screen if you reboot Puppy after it not shutting down correctly you get a message that X is probably not configured correctly and you can run the wizard or start the GUI with startx or startwin. Anyhow I wil like to force Puppy to always load the GUI as I have Puppy runn...

Hi Dougal, I have been following this thread in parrellel with my own attempts to remaster Puppy using the defaualt script, and really would like to add my opinion in what I think is useful in a remaster script. Firstly I think that we can assume that those that are using the script wish to make a b...

Hi Fluxit OK more testing done, If I run this command cat postscript.ps | /usr/local/Brother/lpd/filterDCP110C > I get a page correctly printed on the Brother If I run this command cat postscript.ps | /usr/local/Brother/lpd/filterDCP110C > usb/Brother/DCP-110C I get the error No such file or directo...

Thanks for the answers Ted Dog, so if I have understood the script will "remaster" the .sfs file on anytype of install. Wow that is promising.

Gliez I would also be interested in your JWM files and where you found any useful info on reconfiguring JWM.

Hi Ted Dog, Thanks for the instructions above, I am not sure that I understand though, so please forgive my ignorance and answer a couple of questions. I am right that the script you have posted will allow the remastering of a simple HDD install. Is the script complete in itself or is it a list of t...

Hi Apex I have had the same problem as you relate greyish background and an X for the mouse pointer. In the thread above it mentions making the file /root/.vnc/xstartup executable. This means find the file and right click on it left click on permissions and choose yes to except the default of making...

Thanks for the input, I have followed the instructions found on this forum for installing CUPS and as I can get a printer to print from LPT1 as long as it has a PPD then CUPS seems OK. I will use pakts script if I cannot resolve the issues with the USB printers that I am trying. First thing is to ge...

So now I have your attention, maybe you can answer a question or two. The questions. How can I check that CUPS or the PC is seeing my USB port? What other commands or test can I run to debug this? The background I have installed cups but cannot get my Brother DCP110C Multi function printer to work. ...

Hi I have tried to run various versions of puppy 2.0.1 barebones and 1.05 on a laptop that has a Neomagic MagicGraph 128XD vidoe card with the (NM2160) chipset. All I get is a fuzzy green screen as reported by others on this forum. I have tried all the resolutions from the wizard to no avail. The co...
