Ditto, Sage; thanks! :) Please don't give up on us just yet, RG :) Personally, I'd love to test more and give feedback, but I'm overwhelmed with "life" and stuffed drives. In particular, I've been wanting to test (and use) multiple monitors connected in the new XSlacko (no-go for me in Car...

4. Update web browser??? (the latest firefox-35.0 is about 30mb bigger (unpacked) than the builtin 24.6.0-ESR which will add close to 15mb to the ISO) Hi guys; a lurking presently-Carolina user here. :) I've a couple of views/suggestions that I've been wanting to share for a while now regarding the...

Re: subtitle encoding problem

Welcome, blast beat :) I guess you're trying to use subtitle text files? Your system may be using other encoding than CP1250, perhaps UTF/Unicode, or whatever you chose on your initial QuickSetup as your country settings, and so the media player apps (and the rest) probably orient themselves by &...

Dear Barry Kauler - if you're reading this (hopefully do) - Thank you for all your hard work on Puppy, and thanks for creating it, in the first place!

Hi guys Unfortunately, I can report the same problem(s), plus some more: - the (Gnome) Mplayer doesn't play anything for me, either; not mp4, flv, avi, nor mp3. The machine is a P4 lappy. - on a P3 lappy the X/Xfce won't even start, reporting the same as mentioned by some of you guys. - (only) on XS...

This is most excellent to have a Lina-flavoured (Xfce, Thunar, Adrive) "regular" Puppy! (I had thought about it myself at some point, in fact, but I've been away...) Looking forward to the Slacko version, as for some reason, I'm not fond of Ubuntu puppies; maybe it's the Ubuntu repositorie...

Hi inoxidable I just downloaded the package from there, extracted it to someplace and clicked the firefox script that's in there. This is how I install/keep my Firefox, I don't auto-update it, so I'm not sure how 'safe' your regular way is, and yes, I am aware that starting with some certain FF vers...

Regarding the version numbering: why 001, and not 003, or is Lite so much different from the Carolina 003 ? The thing is, it tends to add to the confusion, especially for newcomers, as now you have 3 distros of the same kind (Saluki, Carolina, Lina Lite -??), which, IMO, all could/should have been o...

One thing I'm missing in Saluki, or rather under its "network status/setup icon" in the tray, is the ability/option to bring the network connection up/down quickly at will, as it is possible in other Puppies. Edit: Another annoyance / undesired behaviour (AFAIC): In Thunar: right-click a ...

The new website design is nice but lacks some easily-accessible screenshots for the new-comers to gaze at to get some nice first (pre-)impression.

Re: Lazarus.sfs troubles

And also a question that's been kind of nagging me since the very beginning: what is SA-LUKI , anyway? What does it mean or stand for? The first association I get is "salivate". Anyhow, I kind of dislike it, but maybe that's just me. :) Saluki is a dawg. Google is a search engine. I'm sur...

Re: Saluki browser issues

Another annoyance: when installing new PETs (not very big ones), the savefile space fills up somewhat exponentially and only gets freed again to a more sane size upon reboot. I looked in /tmp but couldn't find anything "interesting". The same goes for adding SFSes ! This is new behaviour...

Re: Desktop look

I do not really know the real reason/logic behind the traditional puppy desktop look, but one value I see on it is to showcase what this "100MB" distro can do AOB! Having said that, I find it cumbersome, specially for small screens, since any window will cover almost everything. I also do...
