(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello Everyone!

I've recently for work had to install PUP431 to run on an older backup laptop since my other laptop ac adapter was being shipped.

I want to say that this unit on the 1.5GB RAM I had, and the OS, it's running very fast on AMD Athlon 1800+.

I've been able to install the following:

firefox
google chrome
skype
libreoffice
Java/JRE 6
Adobe Flash/Reader
Nero Linux
Wine

Been having issues getting a linux wireshark for this OS, but other then that, the browsers are fast and usable.

I havent gotten into the deeper things, I can't copy/paste from rxvt terminal when telnet to cisco router, but I got another one with unicode I still haven't tried.

I overall really like this OS and model no. as it works with this older machine I've installed to /dev/sda1

I haven't tried to use wireless yet but one dongle i had with 2.4g even windows after driver installs didn't work, so this has still to be setup. I don't know how as well but a GUI configured my eth0 to LAN.

I was using the followin .sh:

#!/bin/bash

# start LAN interface
ifconfig eth0 up

# start eth0 using DHCP
dhcpcd eth0

# exit shell
exit

Hope that quick review was something to entice others to try this, it saved my butt!

I have a 1.6 GHz laptop, 1 GB RAM and running 5.20 and 5.25 (and I think 5.28 -- and WinXP using Lin'N'Win).

I think that the 5.2X family has a lower hardware load than the 4.3X family...

Hi...

Would Sakura be able to do what you're needing here? I know you can copy and paste with it. You should be able to find it in the PPM, if you're interested in trying it.

Regards...

Under 5.28, the terminal allows cut and paste to/from the "clipboard". Under the Edit tool.

Under 4.31, I think that you can use the middle mouse button (which may be the wheel, depending on your mouse) to cut/paste. Once in the buffer, you may be able to control-V to paste it elsewhere... (depending on the behavior of the recipient)
