Although it may have been based on something generally available I'm pretty sure its a 'Puppy exclusive'. Clicking "About" in the Menu shows Sigmund Berglund as its author; clicking "Credits" those who helped. I've never found anything as accomplished in any 'Major' Distro. One o...

Not sure. But with an external hard-drive connected via a USB-cable I think --with the drive plugged in-- you have to set bios to give boot priority to USB-devices; then put the boot-loader on the USB-Hard drive, itself.

Puppys run as root=Adminstrator. They have access to everything on a computer. But only Puppy's Home partition (the one on which is folder is located) is automatically mounted. You have to mount other partitions, e.g. Left-Click that partition's desktop icon. Consequently, Puppys can read-from and w...

Let me disagree with those who've recommended the latest Puppy. Devs have to decide what to include keeping in mind what computers at that time use, how much space it will take to include something, and how much RAM will be required when that's copied into it. There is now available a 400 Mb fdrv.sf...

You really need a 2nd USB-Key which will boot up the same Puppy you have on the Key/CD/DVD which will always be off-line. You can use the 2nd Key just to download applications and their required dependencies, repackage them, then transfer your creation to your 'off-line' Key. PaDS, https://forum.pup...

rockedge, you've done a marvelous job on the F96-CE website. I can see only two flies in the ointment. Without searching explicitly for " F96-CE" or following it's link at DistroWatch try to find it among the 1 Billion+ websites on the web, https://themeisle.com/blog/how-many-websites-are-...

Continuation of Puppy description "Advertisement :lol: " on Distrowatch was moved, with my last revision here, https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=120848#p120848 Reviewing this thread I found this post by peebee about the Release Announcement, https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/...

I agree with dimkr. Was thinking about something similar while still discussing 'Modules'. dimkr's wording enabled my thinking to gel with this: -=-=--=- Each new Puppy now reflects 20 years experience in constructing responsive, portable, modular 32 and 64 bit systems. Puppy can boot from all stora...

First, let me thank Wanderer for starting this thread. :thumbup: It's a good idea to have one location for all of us to come together to discuss ideas and developments; for any of us to bring to the attention of others matters of general importance. In the past I've had to guess where to do that. Bu...

My final suggested wording. I have other things to do with my time. 195 Words: Each new Puppy now reflects 20 years experience in constructing responsive, portable, modular 32 and 64 bit systems. Puppy can boot from all storage media. It can share the partition used by Windows, another LinuxOS and o...

hi mikesir thanks for all the work you are doing your definition sounds good to me but i think you should move it to the whats up in puppy world thread because that is where everyone is trying to decide where puppy is now and where it is going so its sort of a moving target and that input should he...

An attorney writing a contract, Will, Trust, Law, Rule or Regulation always asks "What can go wrong? How can this be misunderstood?" Those questions result in a document which, hopefully, anticipate every problem and provide solutions that can't be misconstrued. To write the following, I'v...

Puppy offering to install txz packages. Repeating bigpup's question early on: Which Puppy? Is it a 'Slacko'? I almost always use a Puppy based on debian or Ubuntu. Packages for those are either '.pets' or '.debs'. So didn't realize Puppy Package Manager could handle txz. Your screenshot shows at the...

Getting back to your OP, there are two factors I think important: (1) Floorp web-browser was forked from firefox but retains firefox's structure and system for managing files; (2) Puppys are not its only target audience. Very few LinuxOS can manage SFSes. While other LinuxOSes can use portables --I ...

@FloraMae As I am using LibreWolf as a SFS. Once you have got the initial boot screen and chosen your settings and saved them. The Profile is a hidden folder in your root directory ./librewolf This should be approximately 50mb or thereabouts. This can be moved to another location and ' sym-linked '...

You can limit the amount of files copied into RAM on boot-up --and thus the time it takes-- by adding the 'nocopy' command to the boot arguments. Using grub4dos, there's a line that starts with the word "kernel" and continues often ending with pfix=fsck. grub uses the same format and comma...

rockedge, "It was right around the time I posted on a topic of one of his remaster utilities, that while I was using it, suddenly deleted the contents of an entire directory." I've used his utilities many times without ever experiencing a problem. However, it's important to remember (a) we...

Haven't had breakfast yet so will only address the smtube '.txz' issue. I'm not familiar with the smtube you downloaded. But 'txz' is a packaging wrapper technique. When an application has several parts to avoid having to download each separately they are placed in a specifically named folder and an...

I've also run into problem trying to setup a dual-boot with Puppy and recent Linux's whose installation of grub became the primary boot-loader. (See the "grub2config" replaces thread). But I was willing to wipe the entire drive and start from scratch. You probably aren't. Can you still boo...

Just to note that wizard has published remasterme2, https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=117427&sid=8e04004aa697f7390f6c3d2d0acdd9b4#p117427 and shinobar's remasterX can be obtained here, http://hg.shinobar.server-on.net/puppy/opt/ . There are instructions somewhere. Note that it predate...

@mikeslr and others. All the stuff that I posted on this forum is in public domain and can be used by anyone. The utility suite for example has been included in some recent puppys so is readily available anyway. The reason why I deleted some stuff is because I won't actively be participating on thi...

I've been comparing the condition of Bookworm before and after a Save. Creating an application to capture the changes made to the former before shut-down no longer seems as simple as I previously suggested. Maybe I've got it wrong. But I need to take a break. Will post my notes tomorrow.

amethyst copyrighted the code he wrote for each module without specifying any limitations. Never studied copyright law. Human Laws are not self-executing. So while someone might consider the approach some of my clients took --catch me if you can; sue me and waste your time and money trying to overco...

If ametjhyst should change his mind rockedge should consider banning the membership of anyone using his address. The last thing a 'do-archy' needs is an unreliable member who uses the creations and advice of other members to create applications others relying on don't independently develop, then rem...

If you like BookwormPup64 but want something lighter maybe you'll like Vanilla Dpup. Under the hood it's mostly the same but has fewer packages installed out of the box (for example, no conky) and the preinstalled Firefox is tuned for low resource consumption. In general, it should consume less RAM...

mikeslr

Ditto what bigpup asked, which 32 bit Puppy? There are several and each is different. But all have this in common. The iso you downloaded contains several READ-ONLY files and file-systems which will be written to a storage media: CD/DVD, USB-Key or Hard-drive. It will include a file-system with the ...

As there already is a menu listing for Palemoon, if you open /usr/share/applications/palemoon-(something).desktop in a text editor, you'll see a line beginning with Exec=. It currently points to a binary or symlink to palemoon's binary. You can edit that line to point to the LAUNCH script in portabl...
