Hello all,
I was curious to find out if anyone here has a lot of experience with developing solutions in YAD.
I started playing with it more tonight and had some issues in getting commands to run, on the event of a button press.
I believe it needed to run X11 to have this functionality, but I was running version 14.
Best, Bigmilkguy
I have been fighting on and off with this os (that should be a hint something needs to be fixed, huh?) trying to get it to install on a machine, at this point, ANY machine. I have tried a VM, and got it to install, but grub would not load it. I am not trying on a physical machine. I wrote the CD to a USB with Rufus in DD mode, and it boots to grub, but grub won't boot.
I am desperately looking for a good, up to date, fully correct and without errors directions, I guess right from download (because every other OS I have tried this with, I was able to get things working fine. I work with computer for a living) to writing to USB, to installing to a machines OS as a "full install"
The tutorial on the install page leads to a 404. The direct link to imgburn leads to essentially a 404.
I am a total loss here. Very very frustrating.
I figure I should add, I will require directions for BIOS systems, as some of the system I will be using do not have UEFI.
I keep finding issues witht his distro, and I keep finding failed solutions on google.
I load from the live CD. WIPE COMPLETELY the hard drive, the ONLY other drive in the computer. Shutdown, tell it to save, it does save (I can see it when I log in to the OS booted from a live CD that DOES NOT load the saved files) and when I boot from the live CD I am back at blank again.
WTF?
I am trying to install it to do testing. I have tried f96CE, Fossa, Nobel, Bionic, Bookworm 32.
Every time I completely delete the partition and re-create an ext4 to make sure nothing is left behind. Other then that leave all settings default, and on reboot, every single version fails unable to find the sfs file.
WTF is going on?

Hi guys i want install vanilla dpuppy to revive an old PC and i want know if vanilla dpuppy upload all the os in the RAM like puppy os traditional ? Im really interested in this feature but i Need to deb package and apt.
Many long years ago, I ran Puppy on this machine, which has a Via C7 processor, 1gb of ram and Broadcom 4322AGN Wi-Fi. I haven’t picked it up in years, but wanted to bring it back to life and the current distro on it (Lubuntu from 2015) is outdated and Lubuntu no longer do 32 bit. However, whilst I can get BookwormPup 32 bit to boot (unlike Antix and Rapsberry Pi OS for PC), the Wi-Fi doesn’t work and I can’t recall how I got it to work last time I had Puppy on it… don’t suppose anyone can point me to a pet of the Broadcom driver that would work on this and I could transfer over via usb? Or give me some tips on how to get it some other way? Many thanks! Alternatively, is there some other Pup that might be better with this outdated and anaemic hardware (which bizarrely happens to have the best keyboard I’ve used on a small laptop!)
I installed default-jre in sinaptic. In libre office i go tools>options>advanced there are no jres listed.
