4 USB

Hit F2 on bootup

then type >>>> puppy pmedia=usbflash

Make sure that you leave a space after >> puppy

Fluppy installer seems to do this automatically for USBs.

tazmod yes on mine it does. And I have had weird symtoms me worried about too.

So thanks for asking. What is it about?

using google I found this

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=448145&sid=9d50f9406491d7804d2b805ad2d36ce7

Could you read that one and see if it helps? I am not good at grasping such texts

OK it appears I was being a bit paranoid. Embarassed

What now makes me laugh is I used it myself in firewallstate !!!

Reading down major(7)s blurb I now realise he was part of the icanhazip development.

It uses a script that parses your external ip address and returns it, however if you use the browser for the address it opens his 'man' page.

It seems that it is run by the network tray icon when you access the information.
It will do the same for firewallstate.

Someone else uses 'whatismyip' for a return in the ip, so that will throw up an address also.

I feel a bit of an idiot for not realising Embarassed

I trust your post triggering me to find that link will help many others that worry about similar things.
so better safe than sorry. We always learn by trying out things. Smile

I was trying to follow this thread but my eyes got tired by page 20. I just installed 5.1.1 on my desktop. I had strange video issues with ubuntu 10.04, so I switched. i want to know what is the best way to install compiz. I know it will run in ubuntu on my machine.

Jamalexa,

open Puppy Package Manager (menu>setup>setup puppy>). Configure it to show whichever Ubuntu Lucid repository has compiz, probably "main". Restart PPM, find your package and click on it.

There is appearing a new smartbook at the scene. It contains an Arm Snapdragon processor.

Is there a chance for a Puppy installation without greater issues?

We are still getting people with problems in #puppylinux with ayttm.

I request a full and comprehensive fix - to be released - one that either replaces ayttm with midori + webirc page or a fixed ayttm - OR include xchat as default.

I would also like to ask that all old releases 5.0 - 5.1 with broken ayttm be taken off the download site - and/or be patched with the before-mentioned fix.

I'm a regular Lucid 5.1.1 user - but having so many people complain & laugh & call Lucid crap is very, very dissapointing.

I think the puppylinux community can do better.

Paul

I made a pet package for Imagination 2.1.
It will make a video presentation from images and sound.
It's basically a simple way to make a video.

I added libwavpack to make it work on Lucid Puppy.

Available here

http://www.datafilehost.com/download-f5bc0f90.html

It works on Lucid puppy. It has the translations for German
and Spanish included.
