Thanks for commenting. This is the second time attempting to reply, here's why. When I click a Winamp stream link Gxine (plugin) starts, about half the time it reports "xine engine failed to start," and the other half of the time it plays fine for about two or three minutes, then it crashe...

For a while, not long, Firefox was asking what to use. It doesn't ask anymore. Since I installed mplayer it will sometimes start, usually for .asx (Windoze) streams.

Anyone else seen this sort of trouble?

Thanks guys! I'll be playing with it the rest of the day.

Am I the only one who uses Puppy (v2.16) and Google? I use "Desktop->Set timezone" and "Set time and date" and the on-screen clock has the correct time. As I said, Google tells me I am 13 hours later than what my Puppy thinks the time is. This Forum tells me it is an hour sooner ...

@ttuuxxx www.ttuuxxx.com no longer works. Could ya post an update?

willhunt, thank you! Analog clock: found and is working. gxine: now working. msy_save.2fs & dev_008.sfs: I used too much shorthand in that first sentence. To the flash boot mem stick I copied pup_save.3fs (pup ver 201) AS msy_save.2fs. That file has a size of 487M and does not leave room for dev...

First: Muppy is really great! I fell in love all over again. Next: A few details. Downloaded 008, burnt to CD, booted, made Muppy flash boot. Then I copied a dev_save 3fs file to the stick from a Puppy 2.0.1 I have been using for about a year and a half. Most, almost all, of my installed pups came a...

The icons that come with the install are OK. I was hoping you would say there is a switch in Rox' config.

I used to go to /root/my-roxapps after installing a dot.tar.gaz or dot.pup file to get the icon for the desktop shortcut, or perhaps /usr/share/icons. But with 2.14 all the icons look the same when viewed in roxy. What happened? Where to get icons now?

I'll try a different question.

How does one force a module to load?
I really need usb-ohci.

I have been using the Verizon Wireless AirPrime 5220 1xEV-DO PC Card with Puppy 2.0.1 since last summer (about August I think) and it's great. BUT it doesn't work with any Puppy version after that. What is lacking is the usb-ohci driver module. When I try to load it manually using modprobe the modul...

Barry & Flash, I spent a week (of nights) trying all sorts of stuff. By Saturday afternoon I had decided to begin fresh and use the live cd method rather than a multisession-dvd. The cheap dvd did corrupt a boot file, so why not try another pup-save medium? I found some things that may be useful...

BarryK & Flash, a big thank you. I indeed tried ignoring the last track, and the last two, but the problem is track 1 having a corrupted file. I won't have time to work on it today -- I'm out of town for a wedding. Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to study Flash's message (I am about to be la...

Please, I have looked all over this forum for a couple of months only to find nothing about DVDs developing an unreadable file/track. Two nights ago I turned off my Seamonkey 2.01 Multisession machine and it refuses to boot since then. The DVD was getting full, around 90 tracks, and it saved and shu...

Thanks, GuestToo! I'll implement it tonight.

Where did you put the scripted mkdir & mount? Related matter: My puppy 2.xx does not execute ~/.bashrc, while all the Puppy 1.xxs I used did call it (when starting a console for example). I love to use aterm, configured with a script or an alias, and I am now in the habit of typing ". .bash...

Ted Dog, last Christmas you started this with a list of dd command lines to back up various parts of hard drives to <image>.raw. The next day you posted excellent advice on how to back up /root to CD/DVD-RW that wouldbe in the drive if you booted a multi-session DVD. growisofs -M /dev/dvd -D -J -R -...
