I have to go with marksouth2000 There is a whole heap of info out there, but you have to work at it. Not saying that don largo is saying this but Puppy is not Window$ so you can not just click a link and have a problem fixed(although billy has not gotten that down yet). don largo wrote: Well, lately...

Puppy works b...

However, Linux maintainers get blamed if their documents (a pain to write for most programmers) are not the latest an...

"if you don't go Linux you're dumb" I don't think your dumb

Hey Scoticus , I am a little confused. Do you want to run puppy on a machine or are you already running puppy and want to play at the code level?
