Here's what i have done for illustration of hard drive install

It's there as i had no time yet for the Wiki, but will transfer the files later. Meantime, you can send me private mail for my errors, or keep discussing here

Let me repeat the question lest it's forgotten :) What does Barry think of the minimum flash and RAM memory required for this machine to run Puppy? (for day-to-day work, that is) PS - for the p...

This is a PHP service for Monkey that i compiled and tried last February using Slackware tools. I tried it using the current Monkey dotpup and i get a "PHP works!" message. Why don't you try it? It is v. 4.3.+ which is generally adequate for using interactive pages. Feel free to make a dot...

Re-post for Freedom: Use version 1.03 for that (as there is a kernel problem in version 1.02). Partitioning (and resizing of partition 1) of the hard drive is required, which you can easily do with cfdisk (at the terminal). But as Freedom gives away old PCs, he can use the whole hard disk. In that c...

Of course you can install Puppy to hard disk. Use version 1.03 for that (as there is a kernel problem in version 1.02). Partitioning (and resizing of partition 1) of the hard drive is required, which you can easily do with cfdisk (at the terminal). But as Freedom gives away old PCs, he can use the w...

Let me try again: with Puppy, this kind of machine will be able to perform day-to-day tasks (just like a PC), and also function as server the way we now can use Puppy as a server in PC. In other words, we have no need to go through all the server-client configuring hassles. The machine can be both c...

Ummm, a highly qualified server already, especially for small networks, what do you think? (At least, I will try to get PHP and Monkey working in that environment as server.)

Yes, of course, although am not sure if the company is already shipping Puppy in it. They are focused on clients, but with Puppy, that gadget becomes a PC, and possibly a server, too.

Puppy runs quick in 300 Mhz, but that terminal runs at over 400 Mhz, no fan, no hard disk - just right for Puppy!

I read "user_nobody" from your first post. I wonder, as i know it is user "nobody". And, yes, you have to "chown -R" all files to the owner "nobody:nobody". However, pls check if it is not "nobody:nogroup" in the server config. Just another wild gues...

At the time Puppy is version .98, I was able to package a simple CMS useful for teachers (and anybody wanting to do simple Web publishing), but it uses Apache and PHP. I want to use Puppy as the server, that is why am very eager to get PHP working on Puppy (using the Monkey server). Guestoo seems to...

News about Brazil intending to produce a $100 laptop for education is all over. Now a company called DevonIT has finally taken notice of Puppy. Barry provided this link which shows a $149 thin client - it's very close to a $100 PC! http://www.ntavo.com/ntaterminal.php Would you know of other compani...

Thanks for the comments, Nathan, wil check on that topic. Meantime, i will see if i can run PHP with Monkey.

So if i may clarify, is bladehunter saying, "the monkey server is already there in Guestoo's dotpups, and all the user needs is to add the PHP package to it"?

I've seen the recent posts of bladehunter, and i wish him well in his future ventures...

Could we try the usual, small network with dial-up, usually using 192.168.0.1 as gateway. To skip the Windows interconnection problem, let us assume the other PCs are using Puppy, too.

Ah, i forgot - Puppy is already doing CD rewriting. Thanks for the reminder, Mr Crustacean

Anybody has a direct line to VIAtech? Maybe that new box will be coming soon...

The first post wasn't finished - perhaps s/he was so delighted her fingers went numb. One young Intel Regional (Asia?) executive i encountered haven't heard about Puppy yet. Maybe now he can begin thinking about making cheap Puppy boxes with 540 MB hard disks. When that happens, Mr Barry's efforts w...
