In this house, the people with tablets seem to use them for games and Facebook.
And the games seem to be specific to running only on tablets and phones.

I have noticed that Barry's blog/news page has not changed for quite a while now and hit logged in visits to the forum seem to have disappeared also. Does anyone think he is keeping track of the progress of Puppy Linux after supplying the tools to make new Puppy versions? With new Puppy versions suc...

When our time comes, will we "Go gently into the night"? Or will it be "Kicking and screaming"? A lot is to be said for nooby and his view of end of life and his preparation for it as well. In my case, the wife has our funeral arrangements taken care of even to the extent of plot...

I went to distrowatch.org and clicked on Puppy in the hit list. I was taken to a page that said the site and page was unavailable. I then clicked on the back arrow at the top of the browser and was returned to distrowatch. When I clicked on Puppy again, the page for Puppy came up fine. But distrowat...

Power to the users can be taken too far in my opinion. Does anyone remember a Community version of Puppy that was hosted by WhoDO? He got so disgusted with the demands that he include this or that application and design demands that it seemed like the Community edition would never get realized. In t...

01micko, Evidently, MS does not want any of the sites it took down to be able to show their thoughts on this power play by MS that I would consider illegal. Why did they stop there? Why not take down every site on the internet that does not support them in the guise of getting rid of malware sites. ...

With Puppy being a matter of choice as to what applications and utilities a user wants and the vey large selection of files provided both on the puppy download site and other such as the Slacko sites, it it an impossibility to include all possible applications and their support files on one DVD. And...

Both PETS in the first post give a forum error when trying to download the files.

Tell Apple that you cannot patent ideas! In their court battles against Samsung, I remember case design was supposedly copied by Samsung and some touch screen movements also. With a limited amount of touch screen movements available, it seems that if an idea can be patented, all smart phones infring...

Please further describe "Won't print correctly." Do any characters get printed? Or nothing prints at all? Or some characters print and other do not? Also, do you have another print cartridge you can use and does that one work? I have never had a print cartridge disassembled and often wonde...

01micko, I see what you mean about the sub-sections of your site being slow coming back. I tried using some of the links in your threads on the forum that are supposed to access areas of your web site and still get a 404 error a lot. This is not good in that someone new that was browsing the forum a...

I just tried your site and the Chinese stuff no longer is there!
So it looks like it may be resolved now.

One thing that bothers me is this the start of a systematic attack of Puppy Domains? How many developers have files stored on those domains that they do not have backups of? Imagine if this progressed to the point of this thread and also this forum suddenly getting directed to some other site as wel...

On what Puppy did you do the burning? With what app? Do you have any boot discs of other Puppies or Linux distros to try? I burnt the DVDs from Lupu 520 with both Pburn and Burniso2cd. Later, I tried booting the same DVD on my Toshiba Satellite that is dual core AMD with 4gigs of ram and it booted ...

It appears that some files are still accessible in some sub-directories. I was able to access http://01micko.com/slacko5.5/ with no apparent problems. The mains site though would bring up a 404 error in the browser though. I hope you get it remedied as I hate to see any sites that contain puppy rela...

There is a script file in the ISO that can be of usewhen one had burnt a DVD and wants to verify the contents of the DVD have good md5sums. But I ran into a problem with it not working because it fails to create a log file in /tmp/root/ to write to. I do not know if this was an oversight when the sc...

I downloaded Lighthouse64 Mariner 6.02 version and went to create a DVD. That was after checking the iso file md5sum. The DVD failed to boot at all with my PC stepping to the next boot option of Grub on the hard drive. I then tried creating a CD of it and that also failed to boot. And in desperation...

Hi... running an HP 15-n228us with ati graphics. X will not start. Damn :? Xorgwizard is broken too in slacko64. .... Thanks James and Billtoo. I downloaded slacko64-5.8.8.iso and its checksum and they checked out. I then created a CD using PBurn and booted it. I went through the startup settings a...

One thing I never did like about PPM was the update process. When run, it would attempt to update all repositories. I would have preferred to be able to choose the ones that got updated. And if one tries to interrupt the update process, the conversion of the file lists never gets completed and I hav...
