Jimtyler, If you want the "browse" icon to open the browser you manually installed, then right click the "browse" icon and choose show location (probably user/local/bin/) and open the "default browser" as text (right click, open as text). On the line where you found the...

Hi all, I am trying to configure fujizerox Docuprint C3140 printers at work. Zerox appears linux unfriendly, and worse, its a Japanese (marketed for Japan only) printer. I got ppd files from their site, but the printer prints the postscript language textually: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%Creator: bannertops/CU...

I think I mislead you with ambiguous terminology. The Skype package comes replete with language options--I was referring to this and not to localization files placed in /usr/share/locale or wherever. If a symlink works, it seems a very reasonable solution which would allow you to place the program e...

Gracias Proudog. Resulta que el otro dia el sitio no respondia con la opcion de descargar al pedir el download ticket y por eso mi confusion. Que raro! (Lo que paso y no mi estado de confusion.) Hoy, regrese y ahora si baje el ISO sin problema.

Sera que requiero una limpieza?

Proudog,

Forgive my stupidity, but just exactly how does the link you gave work? What do I do with a `download ticket`. There appears to be no explanation available at the site you have linked.

Nice guide Iguleder! One suggestion, however. Skype needs the files to be unpacked to the following directory: /usr/share/skype/ Be aware that Skype will only look down this path if the Skype folder is named simply Skype and not Skype_static-etc. Doing this will allow you access to options such as l...

My Inspiron 1525 likes the sky2 driver (I think that was the name) It will say something about Marvel in the description which should tip you off anyway. I had to try a few different versions of puppy to get one to work. Puppy 3.0.1 has that driver, but it must be older and won't work for me. So far...

Hey guys! I don't think that anyone here has taken a shine to H__corrosion, and I can see that nice people (that's you guys) who help others with their questions and problems can wind up feeling abused. Rather than focusing on the shortcomings of Mr. Corrosive (a task unworthy of the effort) you sho...

Thanks Gorlewskik. This installed on 3.01 perfectly. The first time I tried to install WinCrash, I ran out of ram, so I would suggest clarifying the importance of moving the VDI to /mnt/home and creating a symbolic link from the original location. This is great while I wean our household of the putr...

I agree. A game is a very low priority, I saw that you had put up a recompiled link and thought I would check it out. It reminded me of that old appleII we had back in 1980. That said, I wonder about this sound library problem. I see that a lot of people advising installing other programs as a means...

Excuse me MU. I don't mean to criticize and I am sure that you are really good with computers, but you seem to have a ton of links all over the place to an address which no longer exists. Furthermore, when you do track down the new address, some files do not seem to be there. For example: LBreakout2...

Allow me to digress as a means to a point. Having studied French and Spanish at my university, when I finally made it to a Spanish speaking country, I became fluent (really fluent) in a very short time. After only a few short months, even native speakers were known to mistake me for one myself. When...

GuestToo, you've been a really big help. I hadn't even considered using the mouse--that's an interesting idea. What I'm wanting to do is utilize a wireless keyboard which has some extra buttons above the F-keys which don't seem to do anything in puppy so far. I thought that I could use some of them ...

Thanks all. I got mplayer to run as per doopdoop and with corrected syntax. Creating an icon on the desktop gives me easy access. Also, I went to the mplayer homepage to try to understand the command line better. My understanding from that page was that I could manipulate/override keybindings throug...

Thanks you guys. I also found a couple of other little syntax issues while correcting the colon after tv. "chanlist=japan-b.cast" is actually "bcast" and so on. Everything works perfectly now. I wish somebody had taken me up on the other issue of trying to understand the linux en...

Catmandru seems like a smart guy. What he has written makes a lot of sense--to me anyway. Like Scoticus, I am new to puppy and in general to linux. I briefly tried out red hat a few years back, but got nowhere fast at warp factor 10 for the same reason that Scoticus and I are having problems dealing...

Hello doopdoop, et al. I didn't want to have to ask really stupid questions, but after days of wasting time, I am left with no alternative. I have an installation of puppy 2.14. I have a winfast 2000xp tv tuner card. Apparently I have a driver--video for linux, right? I have Gxine, Mplayer, and VLC....
