I'd really like to ditch ROX in favor of PCManFM...can I do that? Will my machine run much slower?
I think it could be a better user-friendly file manager for those who want a "windows like" experience...

Also VLC-GTK in Akita will play youtube videos.. In akita, I often copy a youtube URL from a browser/whatever, then just hit Ctrl-Alt-V to play in VLC... You know i'm gonna love you forever and ever for this? :lol: Seriously, a nice "tips & tricks" .html file should be put in Akita fo...

@partsman: it'll work anyway, i'm actually using it; the only problem with that now is that it won't appear in the Internet\WWW sub-menu, but i think this will be solved quite easily ; Also, i have to tell that MAYBE there's a little problem with ethernet auto connection: sometimes i have to run aga...

ciao! su questo sito trovi una guida pratica ed in italiano, i passaggi sono veramente elementari ^^ la tua versione di puppy può essere differente, gli step da seguire sono grosso modo come quelli indicati nel link qui sotto ;) http://www.puppylinux.it/installazione/usb/installare-puppy-linux-su-ch...

would you mind to update it to v.2.0 and include the required dependencies? it could be very appreciated for users of puppy derivatives designed for REALLY old computer (PIII, for instance).

let me know, thanks!!

i've got to suggest a really useful pet: minitube. it's an app that lets you see youtube vids at good quality and from a destop interface without using flash. you'll be able to see videos without lag even in a crappy pc as the p3 800mhz i'm using right now. it it's already available for dpup exprimo...

I'm working on the translations of those plain-text files, i'll post here when i'll be done ;) Meanwhile, since this is a distro thought for old computers just like - eg - Legacy OS, i may have a suggestion for a good, updated pet that should be made available through repositories: i'm talking about...

Thanks to both you two for your enthusiasm and support, I solved the installation problem ...i wiped again the whole hard disk, made again the partitions (ext + swap) and the installation progress worked like a charm :) Weird but this also solved the mouse problem, i don't know why :shock: Just FYI,...

great, it worked like a charm!! now i'm cross testing with other puplets too and i'm really happy with the results...thanks so much mr. biles

just tried to install akita beta 14 to hard disk and faced a couple of problems: - various errors after installing grub (but the next boot worked as expected) - mouse not recognized after boot from hdd (weird 'cause it was working while testing the live cd - looks like i can't install all the browse...

Totally convinced by your answers and by the hope of another juicy update, I decided to install LegacyOS 4 Mini on another "brand new" computer (lol, P3 800mhz, 384mb sdram)...but for the first time it gave me some headaches: when it tries to load the SFS in ram, it goes in kernel panic (n...

Glad to see that you've answered to my doubts :) I just have to specify one more thing; you said "Legacy OS 2 will never be trimmed to cut it down to size."...well, that ain't what i meant ^_^ I just wanted to suggest the use of apps lighter in terms of system requirements, which doesn't m...

Hi Mr. john biles, I just got registered after reading this thread to say thank you for your effort and give my impression both as a user and as a "puppy spreader". As said in some previous posts, Legacy OS should be kept alive because we really need an OS that can bring back to life some ...
