I wanna install it to HDD. I wanna start with something new, and stay with something new. Always did stuff the easy way. Now I wanna do something new, and stick with it. I suggest you start doing a LOT of reading then. * kannan (n=kannan@59.92.89.68) has joined #puppylinux Yea, I'm realizing this now. :D Read first. Then install. I couldn't find any manuals on Puppy. * Pupuser402 (n=puppy@59.92.89.68) has left #puppylinux ("Leaving") Only on Unbuntu and gOS. hi... i need help in setup automatic opening of browser when startup http://puppylinux.com/install.htm ^ for timmymyrs kannan: can you post your .xinitrc to pastebin.ca?

Where did you save it? File System. se the image in the top left corner that says file? Is there a "file system" icon on your desktop? click it There's a file icon. But it isn't in there. * kannan has quit ("Leaving") =/ This is confusing. Try downloading it again. How would I save it to my desktop as an ICON? Don't worry about that.

(I know "to extract a 7zipped file" ... but exactly what?) all my games are 7zips. And rar. 7zip can extract both types. Are the games compiled for Linux? Yes. Well, some. Atlantica Online isn't. Well, lol. I think I might just switch to Redhat Linux. Well.. no. I'll stick with this I guess. You /do/ realize that one of Linux's achiles heels is games? I just need to know how to extract .tar.bz2 really. achiles heels? "weak points" Yes, yes I do. That's why I'm doing this. k I'm doing to prove to a buddy of mine. He said I couldn't get Crysis to run on Linux. you can't I just need to learn how to extract .tar.bz2. :D wine dosen't work with it Yes I can. With my software, it's possible. what software? Well, I gave you links about "tar" to extract a .tar.bz2 Who said I use WINE? certaga? :D what software are you using? I plan on using b2zip. or w.e it's called. Or, I can just place my files of Crysis from my USB to the desktop. Create a new folder. And viola. b2zip is for extracting files Exactly. no playing games Crysis is an .rar. so extract and play? Mhm/ (: on puppy? Mhm. Worked on RedHat. And it did beautifly on gOS. the game? crysis has a linux version? Doesn't have to. All I need to do is convert the .exe. With a little bit of Perl and HTML, I'll be set. (: Even python can do the trick. * #puppylinux :You need to be a channel operator to do that so you converted the exe with perl and html on redhat? And a little bit AS to impress my buddy. (: do you know what bash.org is? No.? take a look at it heh lul. I'm quoted, aren't I? are you screwing with us or are you serious? I'm serious. HTML for the header, because I like to screw around. And perl for the variables of the .exe. Really, HTML isn't needed. Perl gets it done. dude Python could too if I really thought about it. troll elsewhere troll? troll as in FUCK YOU wtf? unless your a fucking moron that we would believe you got this to work before or idk Google FUCK YOU if you don't know what it means. lu. you never got this to work on red hat or beOS * elraven (n=elraven@host-69-59-99-220.nctv.com) has joined #puppylinux I got Crysis to work on readhad, and gOS. (: Where's Keo when we really need him. Not impossble. Keo/ HTML is a web scripting language as so is perl you don't even know what an exe is composed of do you? Editing code isn't impossible. or how to make on one an exe isn't code Nah shit. Ya think. :D Executible. timmymyrs: Thanks for wasting an hour of my life. * alienjeff (n=alienjef@unaffiliated/alienjeff) has left #puppylinux ("<--- Visit the Fringe http://alienjeff.net --->") you can't convert it back to code I know. And I didn't waste an hr of his life. I was really asking honest questions about Puppy. All versions of Linux are different. And I just didn't know Puppy. no, they all use the same kernel its how they are set up is what makes them different if somthing won't work on one due to its structure it won't work on another that why there all called a linux os Well, I honestly got Crysis to work. stay frosty alienjeff is like that sometimes :-) I can tell. -.- unless you used wire or that other expensive game emulator for linux you didn't wine I did use an EMU. Wasn;t hard. Solaris ferthewin. that not what you said before I got it to work. That's what I said, I did BS about using Perl and HTMl. But it worked none the less. :D get the fuck out lul. Why? Because I BSed about using HTML and Perl? * mysteryman (n=mysterym@24-179-11-50.dhcp.lds.al.charter.com) has joined #puppylinux because we like to help people with puppy problems, we don't like having our time wasted I really did have problems. I'm not a complete ass hole. I honestly didn't know how to locate my files. And still can't. So I guess I'll stick to using Linux for porn. (: jeff was right the 7z files were porn lul.! Nah. Was of Firefoz. Firefox* look , its not hard to figure. click the house "file" icon . your in "root" . click green arrow in upper left and your in "filesystem". lul./ I feel retarded.
