I am not impressed. This thing is enormous. How long will it take to boot from a DVD, and can it save settings on the DVD, as multisession Puppy can?

Me too. Puppy has no problem with display resolution but tails failed miserably on my machine.

Buddapup 4.0 and Boxpup 4.1.

We use moth balls in the garage to repel mice. Seems to work. They(mothballs) are pretty stinky inside a house, however.
Mothballs work well in the wife's flower garden to keep the neighbours cats from using it as their toilet.
Stuff steel wool into holes, cracks, and crannies.

WOW! Fatdog is sweet. Works perfectly on a HP G60 laptop. Stable and bug-free. Nvidia install and performance is flawless. Full screen youtube is great. Congrats to Kirk and his cohorts for an excellent release. Reminds me of Fatdog 112 which was also stellar albeit not 64 bit. Also wondering if Sim...

The remaster script found in Puppy's start menu is simple. Answer some straight forward questions and the process is mostly automatic. I often use the script to make a quick remaster with everything I need installed. Keep in mind, I'm running via live cd. I flash up my new remaster and apply all the...

Pwireless2 is what you are looking for to handle wireless connections.

The beauty of Puppy is the ease in which you can remaster it or save the settings. Why not make your own remaster set up for your Dad's computer?

Just tried the pet with u-pup and it works like a charm.

Thankyou, thankyou. Very much appreciated.

Does this mean Buddapup 4.3.1 is on the way?

I've been waiting and waiting for an update.

Good to see you back Puppyluvr!!

I know for sure the 8730G has the cyrstal eye cam and I'm pretty sure the netbook is the same. There may be various models of such although nothing is specified other than crystal eye. I don't think anyone has offered a pet but I'm using the static version in another distro and it works fine. Static...

Skype video works fine on both Acers I have. A little netbook and an Aspire 8730G.

New Skype beta just released. 2.1.0.81

Sidux 64 is pretty good when teamed with smxi. Unfortunately, no Skype package writes it off for me. Sabayon 64 does provide a package that works. I know Puppy and most derivatives concentrate on small size. There is a place for big derivatives like Teenpup and Muppy. I really miss Muppy since my de...

I find the "Additional Software" forum best for finding pets. Wolfpup, muggins, and zigbert(to name a few)post many packages and updates there. You can also search for valpy's tor/privoxy pets. They are setup to start via a nice little script with switches. You will be presented with a pri...

This puplet is over a year old so the tor software is bound to be out-of-date. You can update tor(and anything else) from the pets available in the software department in this forum. You could then save or remaster to retain changes. One other thing is tor will not run if it detects the wrong time/t...

Exactly what I was looking for. Thankyou!

I have wlan0 and wlan1 wireless devices. I suspect pwireless uses wlan0 as default.

Is there a way I can change to one or the other? I don't mind editing a file to do so when necessary.

Thanks.

Pwireless has made Puppy the premiere laptop distro imo. Great job!

Pwireless2 is working great on wpa networks. I'm using standard Puppy 4.3.1 I have three networks to choose from and disconnecting/connecting to them is no problem. I use network wizard to setup the wireless card(ndiswrapper in my case). I do not connect to or create any profiles. I "exit to pr...

You can try Puppy or puplets with latest kernel which is 2.6.30.5. You can download the .pets tempestuos pointed out to you with windows. Transfer them to Puppy with via usb flash drive. .pets are just like windows .exe. Click on them and they install - just like that. You may need to reboot and if ...

I did a quick search on your modem and it is supposed to be supported by linux which tells me it is probably ralink. Find network wizard in your start menu or the connect icon on desktop. Choose the wlan or wireless button > pick your wireless device > scan for wireless connections > choose one > se...

Thanks sunburnt. Appreciate the thought.
