Earl, I can see what you are saying; however, much of the discussion on the topics of fat puppy and dotpups is in the development arena. Each of these discussions leads to the next .iso release of puppy. Faster, stronger and most importantly, closer to meeting each of the goals we all hold dear. For...

Either way, I'm thinking the USB detection was faulty in either the laptop or the distro. Since I have about 95% success at getting it recognized with FC3, doing as you ask...

Video Driver Bug?

What is different between 1.0.2-Mozilla and 1.0.2-Opera in the way the video drivers are loaded during the boot process? When I boot my laptop with the Mozilla version (without pup001 or a place to create one), the video drivers don

If there are images or tables on the page that extend beyond the browser width, then the text will wrap at that point. (A 900px wide image on a page with text will cause the text to wrap at that point, even if the browser window is open to only 800px wide.)

Microsoft focused on ease of use in a stand alone environment, not security in a network or multiuser environment... Linux focused on security in a multiuser environment from the start.

Confused Puppy

Hello, Ok... I have an HP Pavilion N5470 (1GHz, 512MB RAM, 20GB HD). I have now tried both the 1.0.2-Mozilla and 1.0.2-Opera(Custom) distro versions of Puppy on this laptop. In both cases, I booted with CD-R, without USB storage, and the hard drive containing XP(NTFS) without pup001. Color confusion...

:twisted: The devil is in the details.

I understand and agree with why Puppy is run as administrator on the LiveCD. Does Puppy still run as administrator on the hard drive install?

Please don't jump on to the P2P option too quickly. Most people don't understand what happens when they install the software. Some programs share the entire hard drive by default. Even if the settings can be changed to limit remote access, most people don't know where to find or set them up. This ha...

Keep the splash

I vote to keep a splash screen on there as long as its small and loads quickly. When I had problems with 1.0.2RC (hope to try the released version tonight), seeing that pup was a good sign...

Just my 2 cents...

Allan,

I'm not sure the 50.1MB file will fit on the 50MB CD-R. Since I don't yet have any, I can't try it.

guest,

I'll be looking for the 1.0.2 Unleashed to come out.

Thanks to both!
