Thanks I was getting tired.

For any who don't know how the download can be manually mirrored by using a down-loader and adding all links as mirrors. I use free download manager for MS If you have an ad and a news rele...

my account also was compromized, despite the write protection I estabished in the control panel (everything set to "555" recursively). The index.htm on the main folder and a subfolder got compromized daily. I finally found a new ftp user I had not created myself. After deleting him and ch...

:D Hello, I use multisession from a CD for some of my Pups, works fine... But I recommend a CD-R rather than a CD-RW... I have not tried DVD-R or DVD-RAM but it should be the same...

Install on CD-RW/DVD-RW or DVD RAM

I am wondering if anyone has installed Puppy on a CD-RW or DVD-RW and can tell me how it works. Or how about a DVD RAM drive set up? I was thinking I could take an installation and clone it onto other media. And use the one installation on whatever computer I might working on at the time. Edited to ...
