when is 6.1 released?

I don't know how to open tar file and how to cover over old file. If I am not having any problems, can I just leave it as it is without the tar files?

Thank you

Being a moderate linux user, I have no idea about code, etc., so I don't really know what I was asking.

If this is not legal, please ignore it.
I would like to copy the desktop icons from the latest precise puppy to the latest Slacko. Is there a place where the icon sets are kept?

It works now! Hooray! Slacko's default browser is Firefox, so I just clicked on default browser and it works! Thanks for all your answers. They all go into my personal puppy manual. I am so glad you guys are willing to help.

Solitaire Card game

Hi, I have Slacko 5.5 installed with everything I need except a solitaire card game. I would like one that is a pet package, rather than using wine.
Does anyone know of one?
