^ Thanks

Looking at it, it looks pretty simple i though it'd be much harder than that O_O.
It's simple so I'm just guessing it'd be portable between ROX and Thunar File Managers. (to some extent)

I'll post how well this works tomorrow when i go to mess with the computer that has puppy on it.

Well the cards are identical but they are TNT2's so more than likely I may not be able to do hardware acceleration if I set it up as an extended desktop. Well one of the Cards seems to need cleaning or something because it seems to blur colors out(as in bad streaks) and its not a driver issue. I'll ...

Xorg Wizard that comes with puppy seems to not finish making the Xorg.conf file and that is why it doesn't have out of the box Multi Monitor support. What it doesn't do is a detection on the second monitor, it declares it is there in one part but does not attempt to do a scan on the next monitor to ...

Gparted should be able to detect it. make sure that the item you have chosen in Gparted is it as it can only view one drive at a time. As far as i know puppy should be able to boot from it as long as the BIOS can support it as a hard drive. As far as a swap file goes i would not suggest doing this a...
