Re: Problem with screen resolution

Okay, so you can try defining a new resolution. First, get a terminal open! Next, type in cvt width height hz (You should know the monitor specifications so you can fill in these blanks) Read the output, and copy everything after Modeline. Example: "1024x768_144.00" <insert some random num...

Re: mount iso

You can post terminal output via selecting and using ALT+Insert key. (If you don't have those keys use xvkbd in the terminal or find it under Utility)

Re: console [urxvt] puzzle

/usr/bin/syslinux is a symlink to /usr/bin/syslinux-nomtools which looks a bit strange In BionicPup64, syslinux and syslinux-nomtools are 2 files which are byte for byte identical (identical md5sums). Puppy often has duplicate files, one of which should be a symlink, otherwise it is a waste of spac...

You can upgrade libssl but you need to install its other dependencies in one go, otherwise you'll quickly break any attempts to access the internet.

Re: Keyboard not working - bionicpup from USB on dell chromebook

bioinicpup does has an on screen keyboard! It's under the utility section in the menu and is called xvkbd,

That's odd though, seems like there would be a module not being loaded or automatically done.
Also what is this write protection screw you're talking about?

Re: How to push only a single file of a commit to different repository using git?

You can cherry-pick commits and push those. Via git cherry-pick <hash>.
But this means that the said commit must only contain said file and nothing else, otherwise you'll need to make a commit to remove extraneous files and push that.
