This link: http://www.browserlinux.com/software/IronBrowser-10.0.650.0.pet has no mention of Iron browser that I can find. Nor does the Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW6iaJ2nOHo help any (outdated?). Can Iron browser still be added to BrowserLinux 501, or do I need to aim for Browse...

If it is a Ethernet (wired) connection. Usually it should auto connect. If wireless wifi connection. You do have to choose your wifi source and enter some information to connect. It can not guess this stuff. Only have to do it one time and set it as default wifi connection. Next time you boot up, i...

The last Puppy I tried (4.2.1 'Deep Thought') did not connect to the internet on its own. I had to fuss with network configuration thingie. Does the current version 8.0 connect automatically like Linux Mint, MX Linux, etc.?

For very new hardware, the newest Puppy version would be best. Bionicpup64 8.0 Will any version connect to the internet on its own, without me having to fuss with the 'internet connection'? If you use a Ethernet connection (wired connection). That usually just auto connects. With a WIFI connection,...

It has been a long time since I tried Puppy (4.2.1 'Deep Thought'). I'd like to give Puppy another test drive. The choices are: Bionicpup 8.0 Xenial Pup 7.5 Tahrpup 6.0.5 Slacko Pup 6.3.2 I will be buying one of the above next month from OSDisc, as a 64-bit LiveCd. I'm running a Dell Optiplex 755 w...

Are there any 64-bit versions of Puppy that do not require UEFI to run as LiveCD....if so, which ones? Thanks.

Okay, so if Puppy 4.2.1 cannot handle Phenom II x6, is there any Phenom II CPU it can handle? If not, what is the most powerful CPU it will run on? What about my selection of motherboards and graphic cards...are these at least workable? I will consider downgrading my CPU choice, if the boards & ...

Unfortunately the link takes me to info sources I found awhile ago, which are either outdated (one stops at the AMD 64-bit Opteron and Athlon64 era), or appear to require more knowledge than newbie-level to use. From what I've seen, it does appear that Geforce 6800 series will work "with XFree8...

Best news I've had in awhile! IDE/EIDE is officially cut & edited from the parts-list. Its my hope that I will never have any need for the floppy drive, and once I replace XP Pro with the winning Linux distro, I can send the floppy drive to the dumpster, and free up a bay. Its simply better safe...

So does this mean Puppy 4.2.1 will only use 4 of the six cores, or that it cannot handle Phenom II x6 1055t at all?

around the pups you mentioned eide / sata (libata) was a bit messed up so ended up with 2 kernels ...one to support each. I don't believe eide would affect you anyway as thats earlier than the ide you probably mean. As it happens lucid and perhaps others seem to be no problem in this respect. OS de...

I added the IDE/EIDE DVD burner & HDD to accomodate distros with older kernels (such as Damn Small Linux). Research indicated IDE/EIDE was supported long before SATA 3Gb/s. Am I off base? Can you give me an idea of exactly what qualifies as "OS dependent stuff"? I'll gladly trim the li...

Unfortunately, once the parts-list is finalized, components acquired, and sent to the custom-build shop...its a case of too little too late. Any distro that does not work on the finished PC will have to be left by the wayside, so I'm doing my best to make sure Puppy is good to go. In short, I'm sort...

Many thanks! Site link does indeed look helpful. I'll study it. Senex , Since Debian 5 (Lenny) is based on kernel 2.6.25 it might be useful to look at the documentation for supported hardware as listed by the Debian 5 team: http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/i386/ch02s01.html.en This documentation...

First tell us your intended parts list -- at least how much RAM you intend to install. There is a Puppy for nearly anything that has more than 256 MB of RAM. Please note this parts-list is tentative. I'm still trying to iron out the wrinkles, trim the fat, make sure there are no incompatibilities, ...

I'm doing a custom-build intended to run various legacy version distros, and need to look over list of hardware supported by kernel 2.6.25.16; change logs & .config files for Puppy 4.2.1, or anything else that can help me determine whether or not my intended parts-list will support this version,...

Looking for a Linux friendly single-function inkjet printer. Must have separate color ink cartridges that are not outrageously overpriced. No wireless (wi-fi, bluetooth, etc.) machines. If anyone has (or had) a printer that meets all the requirements, please advise brand & model number, so I can...

Maybe this will be useful: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=22805 I think there was a puplet based on Puppy 4.1.1 or something which was built with KDE but I can't remember the name of it. It's not Puppy, but Slax was a lightweight distro with working KDE. http://www.slax.org/ I'm plann...

Is there any current or previous release that uses either KDE version 3, or Gnome version 2?
