There shouldn't be any problems, except maybe in the installation process: on my PC there's Win 7 Pro in a partition, so I've first downloaded MuseScore 2.0.1 Portable (MuseScorePortable_2.0.1.paf.exe) then installed it there under Win$. It opens up into a much larger directory, where you can then s...

Hi, tested MuseScore 2.01 Portable (Win$ version) in Puppy Precise 5.7.1 with Wine (wine-1.7.23-i486_v2.1.pet) half an hour ago: starts much faster than under Win$ (7 Pro) and also seems more responsive, sound OK, works like a charm on my Dell Latitude E6400. IMHO it's the ideal solution, not only b...

Used EasyPDF a few minutes ago, in Precise 5.5, to extract a couple pages out of a 6-page music score. It's a marvel!

Many thanks and kudos from me too - it's going to be used regularly.

Have been using QTWeb ([url]www.qtweb.net[/url]) for a couple years now, mainly for its speedy startup, though not always stable. Has "anonymous browsing" and total-reset shutoff options, thus erasing all browsing data on exiting. Its portability, small size and overall simplicity make it ...

This kind of thing has been puzzling me for some time now: the same SD card, with one or another Puppy version installed, boots fine on one netbook/laptop and doesn't boot on another. Sometimes it works fine when inserted in a USB card reader and doesn't even begin booting from the onboard SD slot. ...

Testing Lupu-528, it appears that (after adding Stu90's lines, see first page of this thread) the command "flash-video" is not recognized by ROXTerm, which is the default virtual terminal, but it is by Urxvt and works normally.

Hi all, it seems that the latest versions of Flashplayer store streams in a subtler way than before, in order to make them invisible and unretrievable. Thanks to Stu90's beautiful trick, the actual name and location of these files can be obtained simply by looking at the first lines in the terminal'...

Hi all, found this thread right now. Just for info, my Aspire One D255 runs both LuPu525 and Spup100; but no way to get an ethernet connection with LuPu525, although it has the required atl1e (or atl1c) module, even loading it by hand. On the contrary, Spup100 gets connected normally and works fine ...

Yes, very nice indeed: found it on my own about a week ago, before spotting Ray's post.
