Using streamripper on #PuppyLinux to record songs from Internet radio a while back. I don't do it so much anymore, I already have all the music I like. #B6

@ai6yr One option for those who don't want to start off by reformatting, is creating a bootable USB version of Puppy Linux.
Goto https://PuppyLinux.com. You grab an iso and burn it with something like Rufus on Windows to a USB, then boot it and you can either keep running it off USB stick or install it anywhere.
Works on any computer where you can tell the BIOS to boot from USB.

Raccoon) If you do manage to get Snap running on Puppy Linux, Congrats, you passed the hurdle of not wiping root. #linux #puppylinux
#Linux #distros should release boxed versions of their LTS releases. Even if it was a one-off, a boxed copy would be a great #collectible. Especially if you're a smaller distro. I'd buy a #puppylinux #bigbox!
Vandaag op een oude Windows XP uit 2005? (1Gb RAM, Legacy Bios, AMD Turion 64 processor op #puppylinux gezet. En het werkt! Alles gratis en geen #datagegraai. Heb je #windows10 laptop? Zet er #Linux op. Zo gaat je laptop weer jaren mee!
Acho o #PuppyLinux soberbo, ducaráleo, mas não consigo sequer instalar uma versão permanente nos meus cpus.

Finally copied it all, saved to my own laptop and left with hers for her to copy.
I'm sure others would have an easier way to this, but I felt accomplished that I got it done.

Couldn't find the hardware detection program so turned it off and on again. Hardware detected, searched for driver on that CD.
Not found.
Huh?
Oh.
Copied to hard drive and ran as executable and searched again.
Winner!
I 
love love The Internet Archive!
Tried to copy and nothing would copy. Then realized I was trying to copy on wrong part of the USB drive.

Turned it off.
And remembered the Internet Archive https://archive.org
Maybe they had older drivers?
Searched and used CTL-F to search for USB mentions in each old Windows98 page I used. Downloaded a few that might have it.
Found one that seemed promising.
Extracted it on my current laptop. Burned it to CD.
Copied from CD to Windows98.

So I tried the wifi dongle to connect to wireless. Probably too old to connect to modern wifi. Got an ethernet cord out. No ethernet port to connect.
Turned it off and on again, hoping Puppy Linux would detect it.
Nope.
Turned it off and on again, hoping Windows98 would detect it.
Yes!
But no driver!
Oh, fiddlesticks.
Maybe I could get a USB 3.5 floppy to USB reader? Or take it to a computer repair place?
Turned it off.

So tried to copy to USB in the USB port in the back. No USB Flash drives could be read. And I don't have a floppy drive in my current desktop or laptop.
Then I found older USB Flash drives. I found one that was only 512mb and thought that maybe it could be read.
Couldn't be found in Puppy Linux. Windows98 didn't find it.

Long thread. 
Found old 3.5 floppy 
disk.. 20 unused, 3 of my wife's used. One of them with old family recipes on it.
Then found an old laptop, a Toshiba Satellite 320cdt I'd forgotten I'd had. Windows98 and a version of Puppy GNU/Linux on it.
Floppy drive worked.
Oh, this should be easy.
Tried to burn a copy of her floppies to a CD. Kept failing. Copied to the hard drive in both OSes.

Hey #linux community, I ask of you all yet again. I wanna know some fun, chaotic, weird, random Linux distros.
For now I've got #nixos, #vanillaos, #funtoo, #mxlinux, #qubes, #antix, & #puppylinux on a quick Google search.
It's been almost 2 years since I touched NixOS so might as well play around with it again.
I'll start googling up some more & I'm also gonna be looking on #distrowatch later but I gotta go eat my midnight snacks, lol.
Again, no #linuxfromscratch / #lfs. That's for laters!

@bluewitch Nö, mach doch einfach, was DU willst.
Ich habe gerade #LinuxMint und #NobaraLinux auf meinem Privatrechner.
Nebenbei teste ich #PuppyLinux #AntiX #SpaceFun und andere Distros für einen ganzen Batzen alter Computer vom Amt. 
Also: Fühl dich frei!
I'm fucking confused as to how I broke my #PuppyLinux installation.
Regular boot - X starts, UI shows, but then "hangs". If I switch to tty1 and back to tty3, the UI is "blank", only background and taskbar shows, no reaction to clicks.
I managed to run startx -display :0 -- :0 vt3 from tty1 after I Ctrl-C'ed the X server. From the terminal appearing, I could run sh .xinitrc. And now the UI works.
Uhm????? What?
And why didn't startx run .xinitrc ?
"Meine" #Flüchtlinge können sich freuen, denn ich habe 5 Computer geschenkt bekommen, die ich privat wieder auf Vordermann bringen werde. Nach der Reinigung und Prüfung der Hardware werde ich mal ausprobieren, wie #PuppyLinux oder ggf. #antiXLinux läuft. Ansonsten versuche ich es mit #LinuxMint.
3 Flüchtis haben schon Interesse bekundet. 
Mit den Computern können sie Schreibkram erledigen, sowie nach Jobs und Wohnungen suchen.
