    puppy cannot connect to broadband[ Goto page: 1, 2 ][ House Training » Beginners Help ( Start Here) ]

  Hi
  I hope that this is what you want below. I did manage to get a usb stick working by messing about and doing something termed 'mount' (whatever that is) but the save as files would not load to forum, below is a copy and paste. I appreciate all the work everyone is doing for me. Many thanks.

• Agfa snapscan e50
  

    Agfa scanner only works sometimes[ Advanced Topics » Hardware ]

  Could someone please help me with this strange problem?
  My Agfa snapscan e50 usually does not work with puppy 4.0.
  When I start Xsane after it searches for my USB scanner it comes up with "unable to activate snapscan".
  
  Strange though, If I have used it with windowsXP and then reboot into Puppy - it sometimes mysteriously works!
  
  Does anybody have an idea what is going on?
  Would really appreciate it since the scanner and firewire (another thread) are the only 2 things stopping me from going pure Linux on my PC.
  (My laptop is already windows free!!!)
  
  Thanks

• HD frugal install using pupsave on USB
  

    How to config an existing HD Frugal installation to use a pup_save file from USB?[ House Training » Beginners Help ( Start Here) ]

  To avoid unnecessary access to the USB stick, I won't use the pup_save permanently on it.
  Keep working with the hda2 installation and when you have the need to go on another PC,
  - boot the hda2 installation with pfix=ram
  - copy the pup_save from the HDD to the USB stick
  - shutdown the hda and work on the other PC.
  Now when done on the other PC
  - boot the hda2 installation with pfix=ram
  - copy the pup_save from USB to HDD
  - shutdown without creating a new pup_save
  - reboot ha2 as usual.
  
  Beware that the other PC has the same version as the hda2 PC as version upgrades will be done on bioot (I don't know if there is a downgrade as well) to avoid the pup_save being unusable.
  
  PS. You could also ask in a PM to one of the moderators to remove the duplicate post.

  It means we get an old version if we buy a new motherboard.
  ok maybe it is possible to update it from their site but maybe it is
  better to use a USB with a custom made linux on it that does exactly what
  every individual like best. Will give every owner more control.
  
  
  That doesn't mean that Express Gate is bad at all. I sure want to be able
  to check email without booting up the whole computer and to check google for a word I fail to know. rxvt and such. or a local commute train changes of departure time at winter due to delays by snow storm. Would save on battery.

• Macromedia Flash3 and Wine
  

    weird problem[ House Training » HOWTO ( Solutions ) ]

  I am using wine to run two applications that I use all of the time, Expression 3 and Flash 3.
  
  They both run without any problem or lag however there appears to be a weird problem with the Flash 3 files. If I create something and then save it, I can re-open it. If I close Flash and restart it I can re-open the file, but If I restart Puppy Linux then I can no longer open the Flash files that I previously saved.
  
  I looked at the properties of the files using ROX and discovered the following:-
  When first saved the document, the type is application/x-ole-storage, and the icon is binary on a page. This can be re-opened in Flash
  
  But after restarting puppy the type becomes application/octet-stream and the icon becomes two gears. Flash can't open this one.
  
  Does anybody know what causes this and how to fix it.
  
  Thanks for any help you can provide

• HD frugal install using pupsave on USB [Duplicate--Ignore]
  

    Sorry about the duplication.:oops:[ House Training » Beginners Help ( Start Here) ]

  Sorry, this is a duplicate. I must have double-clicked submit by accident. Please use the other copy.
  
  I'm using an older IBM Laptop (Thinkpad 600X) with puppy installed dual-booting (via Grub) from it's own partition (/dev/hda2). It works peachy and I'm quite happy with the results, including speed.
  
  However, I'd like to put the pup_save file on my USB stick, so when I switch to another PC (or boot another PC from the installation on the USB stick, which I can't do with the 600X due to lack of BIOS support), I'll still have all my settings & docs, etc. I can't figure out how to get this configured. (
  
  The usb drive is recognized during boot as /dev/sda, and can be mounted just fine after booting. I've tried adding a line to /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab, but puppy won't see the existing pup_save file on the stick, only the one on the hard drive (or none, when I removed the HD one for testing).
  
  Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    [ Goto page: 1, 2, 3, 4 ][ House Training » Beginners Help ( Start Here) ]

  Thanks, those things were bothering me a bit. It would be mainly for XP. Oh, as for the XP installation disks, one PC (a Dell) has a "reinstallation" disk which I presume will work. The other has four "recovery" CD's which I had to make when first setting up the PC. I suppose they will do the same thing?
  
  I'll try to get this thing going tomorrow if I have time. Thanks for all the help.

  Most .pets for pup3, (all?), should work in pup4. If they're tcl based, you just need to add the pup3 tcl/tk .pets. If they're gtk1 based, you need to add the relevant gtk1 library .pets. If some other library is missing, either find the missing library & add it, or ask on the forum & someone will point you in the right direction.
