more help

Why would you use a pet file in Fatdog64-710? Fatdog uses .txz packages. All you have to do is right click on the package and install it There is a menu entry under Utilities. See attached photo and locations MENU is fatdog utility. No entry Pfind locations. As to WHY... I do not know any better!

Re: Sound Hdmi ALSA
