Understanding that the 'uninstall' also presented a list of installed packages was the key. Using it, I discovered that I had installed the patch by mistake. I uninstalled the patch, and installed the pet, added the printer (it was there on the list), and printed a sample document. Many, many thanks...

Thanks for the reply. Well, I have done all that and the printer is not yet working. I had read the cited reference before, arriving at it in a different way (by search). I had also downloaded the referenced pets. Upon receiving the reply I downloaded and installed them again. Attached is an image o...

I am using Puppy Linux Slacko 5.5. I have read everything I could, and I am still mystified as to what to do. Here is what I've already done: 1. Searched for, but cannot find my printer disk, which somewhere, but where? 2. Read all the CUPS documents I could. 3. Read all the HP documents I could. 4....

Apologies! I am using puppy linux 5.1.0. Thank you for pointing me to fdisk, which does indeed seem able to read the partition table, wherever it is. The output from disk -l appears below: Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500106780160 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1...

I was working with puppy to get GRUB installed after my MBR seemed to disappear. That worked, sorta. I created a good CD with GRUB to test my understanding and it worked. All during this time, the partition table on the hard drive was present, visible, and alterable. [Naturally, I stayed away from a...

I am trying to set up a dual-boot hard drive. Since I lost my Windows7 bootloader, I had thought that using GRUB would be an answer. Quite a time ago, I had set aside space on the drive for a Linux partition, and a separate very small partition for GRUB. I've been working with Windows, puppy, and GR...

version lupu-510. Installed it to usb, working on setting it up. The screen resolution was 1920x1080, discovered automatically by the live-cd. I loaded the NVIDIA driver, but inadvertently chose the wrong resolution, 1080x768. Reloading the driver did not work; editing all the xorg.conf files in /et...

Thank you for this info. Prior searches gave things like: edit the mount table, /etc/fstab. I had thought that while that might work, was looking for an improvement. This is way better.

I am new to puppy, but not to computing nor to Linux/Unix. There are 2 issues. 1. A new install from an image CD to a CF card fails to find lupu-510.sfs upon boot in the target hardware, although it is clearly on the file system. The install was done as follows: a. partitioned the CF with GPartd as ...

Thank you. This is Solved, and Flash 9 is working on the desktop.

I am new to puppy, but not new to Linux, nor to Unix before it. I am trying to get Flash version 9 to run on puppy. An internet search yielded a comment by someone who indicated that very many such efforts were useless, but that using flash9 with puppy 4.x.x worked and was stable. He generously supp...
