Hello

Thanks, Flash

I using a Tahr frugal install to hard drive with a save folder.

At present I have used Seamonkeies UI to set the cache location to another partition of the hard drive, along with the profile and mailboxes. I hoped this would keep it all separate from Puppy files so be easier ...

Hello

I've got back to this little project and thought I should give an update.

I'm useing Tahr 6.0.6 and as mow9902 has found Seamonkey 2.49.5 (latest at pesent) seems to run fine. Download the 'tar' file from the Seamonkey project and unpack it and run the 'seamonkey' file that's inside the ...

Thanks all, I think that about wraps up this thread. It looks as though things will work as I'd hoped they would.

Hello Mike

Thanks for that tutorial.

One thing I forgot to mention was that I intended to let Tahr make a savefolder rather than a savefile on first shutdown, would that still work if the Tahr files are in a folder themselves? The reason for trying a savefolder is that this is the PC my Mum uses ...

Hello

I have a PC with the HD partitioned as follows

Sda1 Full install of Lupu and GRUB
Linux swap
Sda3 All user files, e-mail etc

I want to replace Lupu with a Tahr release and having learned more about Puppy will use a frugal install this time. I can boot the PC to Tahr from a pen drive and run ...

Thanks, Phill

I will have a swap part.

The machine currently has Lupu as a full install but I did that before realizing how handy the Frugal way is. I am looking to be able to run newer browsers than Lupu can manage and Tahr seems to boot and run OK from a USB but I haven't run for long but it ...

Hello

Is anyone still watching this thread?

Do the minimum specs quoted on the front page assume a Frugal install? I'm looking at putting Tahr 606 on a P4 1.6 with 2Gb RAM and wandered if a Full would give better all round usability?

Thanks
Will

Hello

Great post -- could it be made "sticky" maybe even moved to the beginers section. We've needed something like this for years.

Thanks, Phil

I've been using Tahr on my main PC since soon after you released it but I've never found that.

last time was with Lupu so I must have done something like Davids45 suggests but using Pmount sounds handier


Thanks again
Will

Hello

Now, I have done this before but it was some time ago and I can't remember how :oops:

If I have the set up of Puppy on it's own partition and a separate one for user stored stuff how do I have the data partition mount each time Puppy boots? I would be doing this with Tahr 606.

Thanks for ...

WOW!!!

What a response. I will have to digest the ideas a bit and experiment in a clean boot, but I am already thinking of some alternative ways to approch this.

Thanks again Will

Hello

I am looking to install the latest SeaMonkey (2.49) on a new install of Taha pup.

I have downloaded the .gz archive from the SeaMonkey project but how to use it in Puppy?

I see that Taha Quickpet offers an old version, 2.2x, could I install that to establish the links etc in Puppy then ...

Hello
Real daft question here.

Will Puppies Lupu and onward be OK with a USB mouse rather than using the old-style 'mouse port'? While I'm here, what about the cordless ones with a little USB mounted and powered reciever?

Just checking before buying:-)

Will

Thanks all

Last question -- I take it that pet would be OK in Tahr6.0.6?

I won't be able to try it for a little bit as I'm working on a bit of trouble with my e-mail client ATM. I'll start a new thread for that if I need to so thanks for now .
Will

Hi Bigpup
Do you mean that that pet would overwrite Palemoon from the Tahrpup ISO, thus getting me started on the V28 line?

Also, is that for 64 or 32bit Tahrpup?

Sorry to jump into someone else's thread.
Will

Hello

I have landed at this project after following links about the HP printer driver package from rcsn51.

I have found the file name in the repo linked in the first post but wandered if it will still work with the Ubuntu based Puppies such as Lupu, Precise or Tahr and if so, which of them?

I ...

Hello

I've the same problem.

I've found https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/unixpkg this page which has a link to an unofficial Ubuntu repo with *.deb packages. They might be worth trying depending which Puppy you use.

I will probably try in a new save file at some point.

suppose ...

Hello Phil

you asked a few posts ago
hi Barkingmad & sheldonisaac,

i've uploaded a new 6.0.6 iso, can you boot live and test to see if your ethernet automatically works with this one.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/test/tahrpup/tahr-6.0.6-uefi.iso
cheers

I've just tried your new ISO ad ...

Hello, Phil

I've just had a chance to try the tests you asked for a few posts ago with the Intel e1000e network driver module.

Testing in a clean boot each time both issuing modprobe e1000e
and the file copy

boot live and then copy /lib/modules/3.14.79/updates/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e ...

Hello

Thanks, sheldon for helping me to ID the boot files, I've used those you listed and it seems OK. With the GRUB entry I thought on it some more and think I must be using an older version than you so kept to the syntax I've used successfully before and just changed the path (folder) to point to ...
