First, can Puppy be installed on a 1TB SATA drive running on a motherboard with a AMD athalon 64x2 dual core processor 5600+ 2.91 Ghz with 4gig memory? Supports both IDE and SATA drives I am currently using Puppy on a much older computer and just bought this newer (not new) Dell computer that is run...

I have two drives on my computer. It is slowly failing to boot propperly every time. Time to get a new computer. But somehow I managed to link enough crap together in order to multi boot in Linspire, Freespire, and Puppy that I cannot remove either one of the drives and have it still boot. I have a ...

OK. I have been using computers for 50 years, starting on the IBM7070 but always programmed in machine language, DOS, MSDOS, TRSDOS, RDOS, FORTRAN, COBAL, FORTH, Pascal, CPM, BASIC, C, C+, and some others I dont remember. There are books for those. AND most versions of DOS are essentially gone now d...

I downloaded a .tar.gz file. What do I do with that?

I have been merrily going along, checking my spelling with the spell checker and marveling at the great improvement in my spelling. NO ERRORS, wow, I have really improved. Not so. It seems the spell checker is missing a list of words to compare to!!!!! Whats the solution!!!! Also, isnt there a mo0re...

Why not do it the other way round? Save the attachment to a known location, like /root, then run OO and open the file. That I tried, but I am not given a chance to select where it is downloaded to so then I have to do a search to find it and sometimes I forget to notice the name of the file so a se...

Abiword seems to open .doc files ok for me. When the "default" program is selected, it uses abiword and that just opens a blank screen and crashes there. I have to click on the "_" in the upper right of the screen and when it is on the lower bar I can then right click on it and ...

I get totally frustrated to the point I want to smash my computer when ever I try to do anything NEW on Puppy Linux. Today I am trying to view or download a .DOC document off an email. It is an attachment to the email. When I click on VIEW as HTML it totally destroys the document. So then I try &quo...

Well, I thought I had found the solution to a lot of problems. But the first one I tried to follow I found that my file system doesnt look anything like the one depicted in the video. It didnt help me because the first thing it told me to do was to navigate to <.usr_more> That file is not in my file...

I just downloaded xf-prot, and went through the install. At the end it said, "you are running xf-prot as root continue", yes or no,

I hit yes and it said that it "could not detect xf-ptot version, aborting"

Is it running??

I trashed that message so cannot say exacty what it was. My first impression was that it was from AjaxLaunch that thing the MM was settng up for linux applications. But its gone. I just dumped it because I saw no likelyhood that it was truth.

I ask because I received a cryptic message from Ajax.com stating that I was generating some form of virus and that they wanted me to fix it right now or they ware going to ask my ISP to shut me down. Now that really sounds like a hoax to me and not the sane comments of a person I want to be associat...

You, Sir, are a lifesaver. It worked perfectly. There were two problems, one was cockpit error which I discovered when I went back in and set the port. My aged brain was for some reason seeing "serial port #1" and reading "Parallel port #1" so that explains the loss of control th...

I am using Puppy 4.1.2

I have two printers, a Lexmark Z730 Color printer and a Lexmark Optra T610 Laser printer. Untill just now the Laser printer was working fine configured using the CUPS software and using RAW for the type on the Parallerl printer port #1. It worked fine though I didnt like the configuration. Then I tr...

Yes, manners do help. Look back at what YOU FIRST POSTED and at what I FIRST POSTED, nothing more and lets see who had the ill manners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked a question and the first response was..."You are immature", "You are using incorrect punctuation", &qu...

Jim, With all due respect, the "icon" is called "draw", not the program. The poster is correct. The program is called "Inklite". Yes, I know the ICON is called DRAW. I have been programing since 1960....been there done that. Your comment is NOT "with all due respe...
