Yes, sorry for the name confusion; I was referring to when jpeps mentioned the boot options earlier on in this thread. The problem is now solved (by removing the build directories) but I was curious as to why jpeps 's option didn't seem to work, as it does seem to be right on the ball. I was indeed ...

Yes, I can see that. I don't know why jpeps's pfix=ram option didn't work though.

I think I more or less solved the problem now (see end) though why it works quite like it is, is still a mystery. To make the CDs / USBs.... First, I made a bootable USB from the options within Puppy; USB flash creator. This worked and I had a bootable USB. This enabled me to install various program...

Can't seem to find any other .sfs files, except for a few in build directories that is.

The pfix option sounds like the right idea, but neither ram, clean or purge made any difference.

I have made two different Puppy CDs (different programs installed) from the same original Puppy-Lucid 520. My problem is that when I boot from either disk, they always show the same programs in my main laptop, even though I know the contents of the CDs are different (when I try them in other laptops...

Looks good It is in the PPM (for the Ubuntu Universe repository) I installed all the dependencies and it came to 28MB Then I got this: # mypaint ImportError: No module named numpy.core.multiarray Yes, that's what I (and a sting of others after they have stopped insulting my Linux knowledge and actu...

I've got my own program I'd like to see working under Puppy, though given it's a public forum, I'll leave this thread for others to have similar say. Is there a program you haven't been able to successfully get going under puppy? For me, it would be MyPaint from http://mypaint.intilinux.com/ It exis...

Thanks for this thread, and for the .pet I also think nethack should be at least readily available for any distro: it's a historic classic. I got another pet of it from before but that never worked... makes me wonder how much junk pets leave in a system, how to properly uninstall them, and how to go...

If nothing works, you can try to edit /root/.nethackrc and remove number_pad:1 from it. Thanks again. After changing permissions to write to your file, that was the solution. What I meant to say just before was "I am using a Dell D620 laptop, where the keyboard is fine for nethack in Ubuntu.&q...

Hmmm - there seem to be other problems ingame. Instead of moving around with h,j,k & l, I find these keys seem to be associated to other commands. When I hit 'h' I get... Select one item: a - Long description of the game and commands. b - List of game commands. c - Concise history of NetHack. d ...

Thank you. I'd googled to find something sumilar but the documentation seemed to have it in CAPS or as PERM.1 and other variations... your solution worked first up. Thanks.

Thanks for that. I tried your .pup file but without success. The file installs fine (including updating the bottom left menu under "fun") but when run, all I get is a console which says... NetHack, Copyright 1985-2003 By Stichting Mathematisch Centrum and M. Stephenson. See license for det...

I have been trying to use Puppy 2.12 in order to rescue data from a Thinkpad T22 on Fedora Core 4 which has started getting seek errors after a crash & fsck. I went to the trouble of purchasing a USB hard drive and a USB2 PCMCIA card for the operation. First up... a much needed program, dd_rhelp...
