I particularly took notice because my family history contains an above average number of people who suffer from MS... In regions further from the Equator... Greater proportions of the population produce less vitamin D... Probably [but not exclusively] due to less exposure of their skin to enough su...

Most pensioners will have paid for their own support over the years. The fact that successive governments have stolen the funds and used them for something else is NOT the pensioners' fault. I agree, BUT... The fact is... That it's todays tax-payers who are paying the state pensions of todays pensi...

1. The question is - will we tolerate global populations higher than current? If not - how do we deal with this issue? CO2 levels are not really within the ability of governments to control, but populations are controllable. Will we accept government controls on our reproduction? I figure: Global hu...

slimjet-20.0.4.0-i686.sfs doesn't run in Slacko-5.7.0-pae. :(

slimjet-14.0.16.0-slack14.0.sfs does run: that's what I normally use. :D

Re: How to Turn off with the button in fewer seconds?

...when I push the button to turn off the pc It starts to count down 30 second and after that It turns off. How can I reduce this time to few second in order to have a quick turn of of the pc? The Banksy 3 I'm using can do this. i.e. I can improper-poweroff with no ill effects. That's because: a. T...

Beats the alternative. :) Exactly! Plus there are upsides. :D If only I could remember what they are. :wink: I'll ask my wife, she'll know. Oh yea, our mortgage is paid off, and I'm still physically able. To do the gardening for example, and driving the car. Don't fancy skydiving or rock climbing. ...

Firefox won't save your passwords when you've set it up to run in permanent private browsing mode ("never remember history" in the options > privacy panel). Doing so will result in an un-selectable box. Ah...right. :( I did that for reasons of privacy. I don't go to any dodgy sites [don't...

...I'm guessing you'd rather fiddle about with the Preferences. You're correct in thinking that. Reasons: 1. a. Firefox-62.0.2 has been moved out of my slackosave file to reside under "/mnt/home". AND... b. I don't normally make a backup of either the whole of that partition [sda5] OR the...

Am I alone in getting this? I had no problem playing videos with 28.0.0. Neither am I having any problem with 28.0.1. Running on Slacko-5.7.0-pae. I tell a lie... I think it was when running 28.0.0... After playing a certain number of videos [in each new session], they would no longer play. I don't...

1. Might as well try updating. Completed successfully. :D Now version 28.0.1. I've already saved the changes and rebooted. Is there any need to make a "Pupsave Hot Backup" of my slackosave? Any changes caused by the update, that are held within the slackosave? Or are all the updates made t...

success! :D Fingers crossed, all is looking good so far. All the changes took effect. Palemoon runs from both the Menu and the terminal command prompt. I believe I can detect that it is very slightly slower than normal to appear. The version is 28.0.0 (32-bit). Aught I to attempt to "Check for ...

1. Resize your SaveFile, adding maybe just 32 Mbs. Is this really necessary? I'm trying to avoid increasing the size of my slackosave beyond its present 2.0GB. At the beginning of all of this it had 466M free space and now has 476M free. Isn't that enough? 2. I never allow the available space in my ...

@mikeslr Oh dear! :( 1. The changes made [during the session] are not being saved back to the slackosave, even though I clicked the "save" icon on the desktop [immediately prior to reboot], then during reboot chose to save a 2nd time. a. e.g. The "/opt/palemon" and "/root/.m...

@mikeslr SUCCESS! :D [Looks so prior to saving the changes and reboot] 1. Prior to attempting your instructions, I used another Puppy to restore [and rename correctly] a "HotBackup" of my slackosave. That took my booted Slacko back to the way things were before making any changes. Hence &q...
