Hi All
You all must have heard the Tech support phone call about how the user
broke their computer's "cup holder". Of course the cup holder the idiot was
referring to was the CD drive.

Hi bigpup
Yesterday was the first time I have ordered anything off of Amazon.
I received an Amazon gift card for my birthday. I have no credit cards listed with

Hi Mikesir

nothing bad happened. unfortunately I could not start Fire Fox. Duh.

You mention booting then removing the flash drive. How does one do that? I am running a fugal install on a flash drive that every time I boot I get a message that flashes on my screen not to remove the drive.

I have automatic save off.

When I setup security questions I answer with something that has nothing to do with the question.

For example
What year were you born in? Harry

Also I never use the same answer twice.

Hi DuMar
If you are using a savefile then you can use the root/downloads folder to save what you download. Your browser is probably set to save files to the root/downloads folder. As long as you do not save to your save file then what is in the root/downloads folder will not be there when you re ...

Hi Abless
If I understand correctly one of the many things you need to do is
set up a web server. Well Puppy has the hiawatha web server already installed.

Click on the house icon at the top left of your screen and then click on Web-Server directory.

Search this forum for hiawatha and you will ...

What I did on my Windows 10 PC is I made a windows bat file.
I named the file Sh.bat.
Sh.bat contains the following command.

shutdown /p

This command shuts down windows 10 completely.
I no longer use the start menu shut down to shut down Windows 10

I placed the Sh.bat file on the desktop. When I ...

A file manager that can't handle simple copy and paste, is simply a terrible file manager.


I am confused. If you are talking on copying a file or moving a file from one
directory to another I simply left click the file and drag the file to the directory
that I want to copy or ...

HI Amaponian
The way to install Python is
you load the devx___.sfs file for your flavor of puppy.
The ___ is the name of your puppy. In the case of Slacko 6.3.0 the devx is
devx_slacko_6.3.0.sfs
