Too bad we can't bet on Puppy! Better than an electric car imo.
Haruumph! Why is html off?? My preference is set 'html on' All the links are dead. Sorry :-(
RJB:
Compared to this mainstream stuffbest to be cautious when dealing with "lunatic fringe Alex Jones" type stuff.

i'd say the lunatic fringe is looking better all the time:

Who is the crazy really??!!
I'm surprised at the longer startup time for frugal, seems counterintuitive - any thoughts why?
Your sequential install method sounds interesting/ practical - should post in the (underused) wiki.
Curious- what is rc in 4.2rc. What does 4.2 fix/add cf 412?

I tried to create a swap file on a flash drive without any success, at least using Gparted. Would accept the command but made error during operation. I'm hoping that setting the flash back to original fat16 will not lead to future errors (appears to work). Thread here confirms flash swap is not a good idea

I'm now wondering about the advisability of a swap File as described here. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 0b6746714f
and
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=28174
for very large swap files
This wiki is a bit old (v2) but may still be a good description of the operation? Quite technical, needs 'rule extraction' for us newbies.
How Puppy Works

Barry says
Q. Is v4 = v2 for our purposes?"However, PCs with less than 128M really do need a swap partition for Puppy to work properly. Even though Puppy can boot up from live-CD on a PC with only 32M RAM, some of the applications are memory hogs -- Mozilla for example. Mozilla is not viable on a PC with less than 128M RAM. However, as mentioned above, a swap partition increases the effective size of the ramdisk, so you can get Mozilla to work on PCs with very little RAM, albiet slowly. It is also a good idea to add a swap file, if you have some spare space on the hard drive."
I've sorta run out of questions other than still wondering what the real size of puppy is - does it really vary between 80 and 234mb depending on space available? Can other folks have a look at their ram with Filesystem>Gdmap and record their results here?
Finally, to complete an earlier thought - summary for file symbols
Maybe this has been done elsewhere???
Mostly i'm browsing and guessing so please add others & change/fill in type
open brown box = zip file
open box blue = dotpup?
hand under folder = shared
eyeball icon = jpg
meadphones = sound file
typed page = text file
typed page + A = (Adobe) pdf file
printer? (.ps) = ??
binary page (.swf))= compiled binary file
color film (.avi,.mov,.mpg)= multimedia
film abc =
console page = script (unix)
gear = ?
i encircled = help
wrench in monitor = wizard
target = save to usb
dard drive icon = drive drivers
cd symbol =
plug symbol =
! in orange triangle = core?
