i never had prob be for when it comes to iso burning went to use CDCC and it was done cant read disk butt hear the thing most of the time they use cd-r or dvd-r the only cd on the pc i got is rw- only is there a prob at all to putt on a rw disk i dont know wht can be making it not work case CDCC, is the a very easy iso burn to use
more questions: You've created partitions sda1 and sda[5] and mentioned that you'd save your downloads, pictures etc in your sda5. But, by default "my documents, pictures folder are on sda1:
a. how does one change it?
b. can one password protect an FULL install? i.e ask for password when installing.
c. can one have an option of saving/not saving a session on FULL install? I can do it on my USB sessions.
d. what all does sfs file save? the sfs that is cr.
@loke4300 hi mate, you can make seperate files in your home folder for your saves, there is a way to pw protect your install and have done video on it too,as for save or not save, what sort of usb install are u doing, save to file or full usb.
I am a beginner and I try to install Macpup on my old laptop (empty 20Gb harddisk and 256Mb memory) following the video. But when the CD starts running I get a message about grub (which I do not understand) an the word 'grub>'. I suppose I have to type a command there, but what? And what are the following steps I can expect (if any)?
Hey Sneeky, thanks for all the great vids. My questions are what does this install look like before and after. The bottom line is, can I keep windows on my machine doing an install like this? Do I create an ext3 partition on my hard drive and then follow the instructions on this video? After installation can I choose to boot into Macpup or windows xp? Does grub do that? Can windows still be my first boot option? I'd love to see a video showing all of the above.
Any reason why your creating ext3 partitions? I know a few years ago ext4 was considered less reliable but that was a few years ago, today it is the only choice really.. Just wondered if you still actively use ext3?
just wondering, sneeky, are the puppies rolling? You always seem to talk about every single small release, but can you get from one to the other smoothly?
o never mind i test the cd drive it dont work wht program do you use to make macpup live on the usb

so, can you pretty much do anything you need to in windows through virtualbox xp?
WhatTheFeatherTV 3 months ago in playlist DELETE WINDOWS / INSTALL GNU/LINUX
Suggestion required: My needs are as follows :
an OS as light and fast as puppy.
Virtual box to run xp to run programs. Wine is NOT an option.
Can these 2 needs be combined? and run from an USB [8GB]? if yes, kindly share your method.
thanks.

@loke4300 you can do this with macpup and puppy 528 as virtual box comes in the package manager

@loke4300 typo...b. can one password protect an FULL install? i.e ask for password at login? [not installing].
