I have been using PL 5.2 frugal off of a usb drive which has worked well except for being unable to utilize the built-in sd card slot. It was suggested I move up to 5.2.8 which I then installed on the SSD frugally. It now mounts the sd ¨drive¨ but I have lost the ability to suspend the netbook with ...

Thanks for the replies.

Bigpup:
Somehow I have the feeling it is not a bug but if I don´t get it resolved I shall try the newer version.
When I boot from the SSD it shows the unmounted sd card on the desktop but immediately asks for set-up parameters so it is not seeing the lupusave-xxx.2fs inside ...

I am trying to make an Acer AspireOne with 8gb SSD into a nimble netbook unlike what it was originally with XP and then an attempt with Xubuntu.
I have been using frugal Lupu 5.2 off a usb drive and that works well. Now I would like to install that frugal version to the SSD on the AspireOne but have ...

Wow, great detailed response Mikesir.
I am back home now but I am definitely going to installl and try out Frisbee.
Thanks again.

I would like to revisit this old thread in that I am on vacation in a motel in a new (to me) city. I was hoping to utilize my trusty frugal 5.2 to get snappy internet service but to no avail. After finally figuring out how to log in thru the password protected service here (requiring many steps as ...

Puppy 5.2; frugal install
I have Puppy installed on 2 different USB drives on 2 different laptops with Dropbox 11.43 on each one. Dropbox has been working perfectly on both until today and now neither works - ¨downloading file list¨ but nothing happens. I have restarted DB to no avail. My DB on an ...

Wognath;
Even more portable and flexible is the well publicized idea, which I have been using sucessfully, of putting the KeePass file into Dropbox. There it sits encrypted and available to be pulled up with any device that has internet access and a copy of KeePass - in my case an Android smartphone ...

Thanks everybody.
It was an interesting excercise. I say that because I re-installled Puppy with the Save to a file instead of a partition - something I am accustomed to and something much easier to monitor..

Ok I am learning how to use some new terminal commands and do a screen shot. Here is some more data (attachment):

Also I am finding more info about Pupmode=7 which signifies that the save file is on the entire partition (I am not sure what it is named). A couple of other posts suggest it can create ...

Acer A1, 2 gb usb, frugal 5.2

I just completed a new install of 5.2 using the Universal Installer from CD to an ext3 formatted usb drive on a one 1.5 GB partition. After I established the settings and installed Firefox I chose "save to partition" instead of to a file without thinking. I was not ...

Here are a couple of Flash pets; much easier than the tar.gz install.

Nice technique sfeeley.
I must be having a brain lapse. How do I grab that sleep .png icon?
Thanks.

Thanks everybody. I hadn´t realized that my DB version was outdated, especially since it kept saying ¨updating¨ but really all it was doing was adding tar.gz update files that did not function - many of them.

I removed the old version and installed the stable 1.2.52 and it seems to be working ...

I should not be so smug about my sucesses. It seems that my installation of Dropbox is going to require frequent ¨housekeeping¨ and that is not acceptable.

Good point sfeeley. This morning I opened PL to a flashing red free space warning, just like a few days ago and sure enuf my Dropbox/.dropbox ...

I got DB from http://theasterisk.droppages.com/Puppy+Linux+Packages/Internet/Dropbox . It works like a charm. To use it I open it from Menu although the folder is always present in Root and since I don´t use it all that often I like that it doesn´t run on startup.

They appear to be scheduled ...

PL 5.2 frugal, FF 8.0

I hope this can help someone (like me) who constantly fights to keep the pup_save file from spiraling out of space.

I was watching a lengthy YouTube video last nite and it crashed a couple of times. I had not paid attention to the free storage space but this AM when I ...

Thanks everyone but the problem isn´t how to select all the files because once all are selected > Delete brings up each file individually and asks if I want to delete it, then I have to respond Yes and on to the next, one by one.

There are literally hundreds of files to click thru and it takes ...

PL 5.2 frugal on usb; FF 8.0

Seemingly overnite my savefile went from 25M to 2M free and on came the flashing warning to resize (AGAIN). This is despite my very restrictive FF settings. So I decided to delete Cache data (despite warnings re: that in a previous post) as it was huge. The problem: I ...

Thanks bigpup and particularly Monsie for the specific instructions.

I shall give this a try and monitor the results watching my pupsave free space.

Puppy 5.2 frugal on 4G usb

I am getting the personal space warning flashing in the taskbar. I realize I can resize but would also like to delete excess stuff. I have my FF setting to minimal cache size. After researching this topic quite extensively I still have a couple of questions:

1) Using ...
