Keep your savefile for your system stuff, Apps, things like that. Keep your photos,music , videos, and projects stuff outside the save file.If you only have one partition on the drive where the savefile is you can access all of your stuff in /mnt/home . The thing is the bigger the save file the longer it takes to load up and shutdown. I know people who have had save files 16 Gb or more and they need several minutes to boot. </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/more-space-than-2gb#post-2414 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 16:37:49 +0000 LePup 2414@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>Hi there, well, I'm a bit newbie in Macpup, I only used one Puppy Linux distribution some years ago, but the I took the decision to change from Ubuntu to Macpup, specially 'cause it's faster, lighter and more gorgeous.</p> <p>So I made a Frugal install (I got some problems with Full), and made a savefile, but I only give to it some MB, and when I tried to install GIMP it said that I need more space, so I resized it to 2GB, but now I think that I probably need more space. So, is there a way that I can give to my savefile more space (Is the only savefile on the Netbook), for example, to 40 or 50 GB (The Netbook has 55GB).<br /> I need to do a Full install? </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/64-bit#post-2413 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 14:44:52 +0000 runtt21 2413@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>The reason is simple, most computers in use around the world are 32 bit and will continue to be 32 bit for a long time to come. Most people can't afford to shell out the bucks/pounds/marks/rubles ects for a new 64 bit computer.It's all those "not so new" computers that are our target market.You can run macpup on computers that vista or 7 wont touch. Macpup gives those computers an up to date os with the latest browser without the cost of a new OS or Hardware. </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/64-bit#post-2412 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 21:09:20 +0000 rkonrad 2412@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>Please excuse me if this topic has already been discussed but I have not encountered this in my searches. I say this because it seems obvious to me - what is the reason for macpup or puppy linux to continue developing in 32 bit? I have seen and used fatdog but I don't see much development with it. I'm so impressed with puppy linux that I would really consider making it my primary operating system but I don't understand about the 64 bit thing.</p> <p>Richard </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/macpup-525#post-2409 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 14:59:58 +0000 runtt21 2409@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>New video by icyos:</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ooz_vyZ37TU" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ooz_vyZ37TU</a> </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/macpup-525#post-2329 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 18:52:12 +0000 runtt21 2329@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>Macpup/puppylinux doesn't auto mount stuff like that.

Pupzip opens and at the top of the list is libflashplayer.so</p> <p>Left click on libflashplayer.so to high light it in blue.<br /> Hit the extract bar in toolbar in Xarchive.<br /> Pick the Choose button.</p> <p>On top toolbar it says select directory to extract to. Just explaining so you know what you are doing.<br /> Maneuver down to usr and double click<br /> Maneuver to lib and double click.</p> <p>Now for the confusing part. There are 2 folders that contain libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib</p> <p>1. is adobe-flashplugin<br /> 2. the other is mozilla/plugins</p> <p>Me. Since I run AntiX and some other Linux distros. I put libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder as that is usually pretty much of a standard. </p> <p>So I double click on mozilla folder next.<br /> Then I double click on plugins folder.<br /> Then I hit the open button in that window.<br /> Next window shows file path /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins that the libflasplayer.so that you selected earlier will be extracted to.</p> <p>Just hit the OK button and you are done.</p> <p>Restart Firefox. Open a new Tab. Type in blank address bar </p> <p>about:plugins </p> <p>You should see </p> <p>Shockwave Flash</p> <p> File: libflashplayer.so<br /> Version:<br /> Shockwave Flash 11.0 r1</p> <p>Test Flash at </p> <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/</a></p> <p>Just to enlighten you a bit. The way I did this. libflashplayer.so also installed automagically in /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin folder also</p> <p>sh-4.1# cd /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin<br /> sh-4.1# ls<br /> gecko-mediaplayer-dvx.so gecko-mediaplayer.so libnpjp2.so<br /> gecko-mediaplayer-qt.so gecko-mediaplayer-wmp.so<br /> gecko-mediaplayer-rm.so libflashplayer.so</p> <p>Now to explain why. Because the /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin folder is actually a symlinked folder that links with /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder. </p> <p>So my gut instinct to do it the way I usually do things was right on the mark.</p> <p> If wanting to go with Flashplayer 10 stable latest release instead.

This how to is done in the appreciation of runtt21's hard work in getting MacPup 5.28 ready for release. Just my way to say thanks. I hope my urls show up as links using standard bb code runtt21.

I know I told you runtt21 I run AntiX 8.5 core iso with LXDE on here. But guess what. I have 3 Hot Swap Hard Drive Caddies for this beast.

A Windows How to can be added by someone/anyone else in this thread.</p> <p>Ok. Extract the zip with left click in rox file manager and select all and extract. You should end up with a folder.

We are not really set up for mulit users like Ubuntu. You can add users but you can't login to them at start up.You can only su to them from the terminal but only apps you run from that terminal will be under that user .The whole system dosen't change. We are set up to be a single user system.The only way to set up a real multi user system with puppy/macpup is to do a frugal install with a different save file for each user. The only real danger (and this has been discussed for years at the puppy forum) is user error. You can mess your system up if your careless but as far as someone from the outside jacking with you.... very unlikely.</p> <p>Here is how to set up a login at start up.
