Re: Missing dependencies

Now the issue of "install to a USB stick": You don't have to "install" in this case. Just run Puppy from CD and when you shutdown or reboot Puppy will prompt you to create a savefile. Do this by saving it to your USB stick. From then on you can always boot your Puppy with the CD...

Re: Missing dependencies

Thunderbird doesn't have to be installed, not even in 214x, provided it is a frugal install (normally recommended). Thanks, Wuwei. I haven't installed the OS to anything. I'm just using a save file since my laptop BIOS has no USB boot capability. I decided to use the Webmail Notifier add-on instead...

Missing dependencies

I use Thunderbird for my email on my Linux Mint machine so naturally I installed it on my laptop but it's missing GTK+. The installation report only lists GTK+. I've searched all over the place with no luck. Where do I find this? I'm using a Toshiba Satellite A55 w/o an internal hard drive. I'm boot...

Belkin F5D7010

I was able to utilize ndiswrapper to install the windows driver. After some trial and error Puppys connection wizard was able to get me online! I had been working on this for a year! I was finally able to revive an old Thinkpad 570 with NO optical or floppy drives! It's slow but it works. Now I just...

install on OLD laptop

I'm in the same position here with an old machine that I believe is usable but cannot boot from anything but the hard drive. The specs are nearly identical to smallzoo's. I've been trying for weeks now to get Puppy up and running and am at a loss. I've downloaded the iso, burned it to disc, copied t...
