PQ>Hi! Ed,
Howdy! Paul,

PQ>On Sun, 27 May 12, you wrote to me:

PQ> EV> again, didn't I?

PQ>That's why my head hurts... so often.  :)  I did a new install on my little

PQ>It originally came factory-supplied with U'u 09.04 but following U'u 09.10 &
PQ>10.04 upgrades failed on two separate occasions, so I switched it over to
Pup

Ouch!

PQ>Linux on two partitions providing a multi-boot facility between two
different
PQ>version of Puppy, whenever new versions of it became available.  That way I
w

PQ>version.

Leap-Frogging between two different Puppy Linux versions sounds to me
like You got Your act in order.

PQ>U's still allows for a multi-boot between itself and the two
latest-installed
PQ>Puppy versions.  That was nice as I can migrate all of my stuff to U'u
withou
PQ>the need to transfer anything via the network or USB things.  Of course I'll
PQ>have to wipe everything out when it does come time to sell but the stuff on
t
PQ>Latitude is just a second form of an external backup of my stuff on this U'u
PQ>anyway.

When I make a Acronis True Image Home backup of this XP box to an
External USB drive, I will then Copy that new directory to another
External USB drive, Belt and Suspenders, as Tom W. would call it.

Right, Tom?

PQ> PQ>> In fact, I often times remotely-control Barb's XP P (a vBox) from

PQ> PQ>> circumstances. =:)

PQ> EV> You will have to ask Jean if he is interested in vBox since vBox
PQ> EV> isn't a M$ program, You know how he is.............  and You know how
PQ> EV> I AM!

PQ>Ed, there are versions for Windows, Mac and Linux.  Though, I fox-pawed on
PQ>Jean's situation as it cannot run Mac stuff in a vBox.  :(  (I remember now
PQ>that Alan told me so as well.)  However, I have actually slipped a copy of
my
PQ>MS-DOS 6.22 vBox's HDD to a Fido-feller running the Windows version, and it
PQ>booted! (he says).

Jean knows just enough about a WORMY to get by.

I think there is a lot of Common Things between a WORMY and WINDOWS, and
if He gets in Deep Waters He has Alan and Charles to help Him out with
the current problem.

Jean know more about the WORMY than I know about U'u and LINUX.

I just hadn't played with U'u much at all, with Jean's wife having a
WORMY He gives Her as much tech support as He can.

Once in a while my wife will want to type something in, on her
Commodore 64 and she will ask me for some help with it.

I still remember a lot of CBM stuff without having to look it up in one
of my books down in the basement, when she needs my help.

But that has nothing to do with LINUX at all, which is why You are here.
