Just out of interest - here's a list of the apps I particularly like on the BionicPup32 install.
PupControl - a nicely done control center that proves a very straight forward gateway to getting most if not all critical hardware, software and network settings sorted out.
PPM - Puppy Package...
I have quite a menagerie at the moment. Both Ubuntu and Lubuntu on an old HP Mini netbook, the Lubuntu is quite good. FreeBSD with Mate (not Mint) desktop on the old HP desktop - writiing on it now in fact, must admit the Mate desktop is snazzier than the one I have on Puppy. BionicPup on...
I was looking for a lightweight OS for a USB boot drive to run on old machines with relatively low specs. I was pleasantly surprised by BionicPup32 8.0.
Years ago when I tried various distros I was very taken with PC-BSD which was based on FreeBSD, but came with a desktop already configured...
Thanks. I tried about:config in Light, it didn't have the config settings you posted but it had a bunch of others, though I couldn't find anything similar to the device.sensors that might control the fan. I found an autoformfill setting to disable but that was for all forms not just credit...

I can't recall where, but, I think I used fat32 under advisement - it seems to have worked ok, anyway.
I'm using a SanDisk Ultrafit 128GB 3.1 USB drive.
I allocated an excessive 10GB to BionicPup32 8.0 the rest is ext4. I have it set up so that the filesystem, new files and apps are on the...
I have Puppy Linux installed on USB thumb drive. I partitioned the USB to have a FAT32 partition for PUPPY and a EXT4 partition for MYFILES. I anticipated the OS install would create its own linux swap partition or swapfile, but it didn't seem to. It might be using a swap partition on the...
SOLVED!!!!!! After a fashion.
Registered my network printer with Epson Connect (link below) so that the printer gets assigned its own email address. Renamed the email address to something memorable, set the Printer Settings to not include Sender's Details (otherwise it wastes a page). Now can...
