OK, I will try to do that, but I don't know how to install a boot-loader. Can you tell me? (Or could I use the boot-loader that was set up for me when I did the "rich-mans" install?)

Problem booting 2.0.0 from HD

This is relevant to Puppy 2.0.0: I used this from a CD and it worked beautifully. Most importantly I got my wireless card (Belkin, based on broadcom chipset) to work! So I installed to HD using puppyinstaller (or whatever it is called) and selected all the default options. There is only one data-par...

Thanks, I did, however the only thing I managed to dig out from that excercise was that Puppy uses "tinylogin" which has a command "adduser". So I used adduser to create a new user, but then what? How do I get to select which user to login at boot? I also tried to logout of X (to...

How to build stripped-down Mozilla? (As in 1.0.8)

Hi! I like the stripped down version of Mozilla shipping with Puppy (I run 1.08.) I have a small NAS box (Buffalo Linkstation) that runs Debian and would like to get the same environment onto that box (it does not run on an Intel chip and is limited to 64MB of RAM). Therefore, I have downloaded the ...

How to add an unprivilidged user

This has probably been answered before, so I apologize, but I could not find the answer by searching the forum. My question is: I don't like the idea of running puppy constantly as "root", so how do I add a normal user , and how do I get that user to login by default when Puppy is booted, ...

Which WiFi-card should I buy?

Hi! I am helping my sister in law to set up an old computer (deskside) with Puppy so that she can have a computer of her own to surf and read e-mail. The family will share the Internet connection via a wireless router. Fortunately, we have not yet bought a wireless card, and I understand that there ...

What WiFi adapter to choose for a desktop PC?

Hi! I am about to install Puppy on a fairly old desktop PC (Pentium II @ 233MHz), and would like to find out from you what wireless network adapter (for PCI or USB) that is likely to work out of the box or with minimal fuzz with the latest release of Puppy? Could anyone recommend a brand and model? ...

I don't have a PS/2 keyboard. Is there a working solution?

I have been reading this thread, but don't understand whether the knowledge you aquired led to fixes in the subsequent releases of Puppy? Today I downloaded Puppy 1.0.5 and unfortunately I cannot use it because it doesn't recognise my wireless (chicony chipset) keyboard. At first it does, but then a...
