Now, click on any item (and hold), then drag across to the first window. In the LiveCD window, click (and hold) then drag the cursor diagonally across the window to highlight all the files. Watch this video clip I've just done to see how I do it:. Now we're going to copy the files from the LiveCD to the flashdrive. (Don't worry about your icons looking different to mine. A second file-manager window will appear. This should have a tiny picture of a house at the top-right corner. This shows that Tahrpup has 'mounted' the drive, and it's now part of the file system. A file-manager window will appear, and you'll also notice a marker appears at the top-right corner of the icon when you do this. On the machine running Puppy (I assume it's still running the LiveCD?), I want you to do the following, please.ġ. You may as well wait till we get Puppy on the flash-drive.then you can set everything up at once. We won't bother getting internet set up just yet. If it's sdb1, that's what I need to know. I did get connected using Frisbee.do I download Linux desktop as it offers on PaleMoon?Įdited by DadaMan, 07 September 2017 - 05:12 PM. It is sdb1 should I make PaleMoon my default browser? we did talk about Google Chrome before.is that out now I wonder? Also it asks if I want it to perform a check when starting. It's quite simple to use! I too prefer the Chromium-based browsers, and have done for years.but I'm perfectly prepared to use FireFox derivatives on the odd occasion. You don't need to go back into Windows to answer you might as well get started with using Linux, yes? PaleMoon is a 'fork' of FireFox it's the direction that a certain group of people think Mozilla should have gone in, rather than the direction they did take. You can use the built-in PaleMoon browser to reply. Please make a note of the label (probably 'sdb1').and tell me what it is. As you do this, I'd like you to watch the bottom left corner of the screen. Wait for everything to settle down, with the desktop showing, then I want you to plug the flashdrive in that you're going to use for Puppy. Now, I would like you to do the following:-Ģ. Puppy will adapt to use any hardware.and you'll be running Puppy anyway. It doesn't make any difference which laptop you use. I'm not so old that I can't remember what it's like to get excited about something. There are a lot of good people on here, who enjoy helping other people out with problems.but if nobody will take notice of what's being suggested, then there's not much point in folks even bothering.)Įdited by Mike_Walsh, 07 September 2017 - 04:00 PM.Īh, no worries. For everybody those who need help.and those who try to give it. But even on forums such as this, there is a certain set of 'courtesies' that we all try to follow.because it makes things easier all round. (Don't think I'm being hard on you I'm not. Are you prepared to follow advice? Because if you're not, then we may as well call it a day right here & now it's just a waste of everybody's time, when I could be helping someone who is prepared to listen. Now please answer me one simple question. To my way of thinking, something like this should only need to be done once.but it needs to be done correctly the first time around. I'm quite prepared to help you do this, but please don't be so impatient. Do I take it that you followed my instructions, and formatted the flash drive ready for Puppy? If so, what that's done is to prepare the flash drive ready to 'install' Puppy to it.but you can't boot from it yet, because we haven't put the Puppy files on there yet, or installed the bootloader.Īs with everything to do with computers, it's a series of small steps, which have to be performed in a certain order.and every step needs to be completed. You're rather getting ahead of yourself, here. ![]() Windows is telling you the 'disc in drive:E' needs formatting because Windows doesn't recognise Linux file-systems, and thinks that the flash-drive is unformatted. Well, it won't boot off the 'flashbar', as you call it, because you haven't yet put Puppy on there!įrom the sound of things, you're in Windows at the moment.
