Thanks for this update of your other excellent guide. My family has gotten a lot out of it, having a friendly nice corner of the internet, which isn't one click away from a "TURN THAT OFF RIGHT NOW!!!" moment.

How to turn Puppy on a thumb drive into a web server

Here is a simple way to turn any machine with a thumb drive into a remotely configurable (by ssh) web server. I’m sure issues immediately come into your mind upon reading that.

So let me start by saying no, this isn’t the most secure/efficient thing to do on a large scale. But a web developer ...

Hi. As recommended by darkcity in this thread in the Beginners Help forum, here's a problem I have with the new Slacko 5.4:

When I first started using Puppy earlier this year, I originally decided to use Wary (5.3), thinking it might be more suitable for my oldish laptop (IBM Thinkpad X31), but ...

Found a workaround using this guide. It bypasses any app in particular, using SSH (jailbroken phone obviously) and a proxy on Firefox/SeaMonkey's end.

Having the pet above installed (THANKS MUCH for providing it!) I had no issues with any of the commands mentioned.

usbmuxd daemon should now automatically launch when a compatible iPhone device is plugged in.

It did and the device appeared automatically on 5.1.1. However, puppy was unable to find a live network for me, so it may not work in my case.

I'd like to thank everyone who works on puppy - and ...

A question, and perhaps an update: I've had problems with this on 5.1.1 and PdaNet. I once had umux2007 successfully tethering under Ubuntu. But this particular machine would feel the bloat; Puppy is the way to go.

Anyway, PdaNet has gone to a newer (paid) version now. I type in usbmuxd . The ...

Diagnosed.

Found the issue. My WPA password was a nasty cryptographically strong one with symbols. The network wizard runs from scripts, which were thrown off by characters - namely " and | but probably there are others that would lead to trouble.

My workaround was to clean up the password to not include ...

Connecting to WPA fills puppy's storage space

Hello. I'm new here so first I'd like to say thanks for all your great work. It is amazing how much puppy can do with so little. I just set my brother up with Puppy on a Pentium III machine so he can use the internet. He is a new computer user. With a heavier OS this would be PAINFULLY slow.

Anyway ...
