browser cookie and history.

Thanks upnorth for info:
Right now I'm happy with just deleting the cookie and history text files.
Next step would be to see if there is a script available to do that.
Best wishes.

scanner driver

Am trying to use my old scsi scanner:
Acer Prisa Acerscan 620st (Artec) Color flatbed scanner.
Currently running Puppy 431.
Does not seem to have the Artec driver.
Is there an older version of Puppy that would fit the bill?
Thank you and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Hi,
Using puppy 421 I cannot get the bookmarks function in Abiword 2.6.3 to work.
Does not work in 4.1.2 too.
Has this function been left out in Puppy versions?.

My save file is filling up etc

Hi Claude,
Am a newbie to Puppy but I was able to restore my backup usage indicator by going to:
