Thanks - downloading now.

I suggest the name "Live Cow" - I have no idea how to use a dead cow. Laughing

And I can't see what version of Puppy this is based on.

Brandon,

I downloaded and tried DCL 2008 on my laptop (Averatec 3225HS - 512MB RAM, 40GB, Realtek Wireless Card, Via Video)

It looks good. A good first impression. Then I tried few programs that I regularly use.
GFTP - This worked .
Firefox - This worked. But the fonts were too small and did not look good. I dont know if this is my machine.
Wireless - worked out of the box.
Abiword - worked.
VLC - I was playing a a video stream and this worked. But when I minimize and restore, the X ends and I have to XWIN again to get back. This is the only error I found running DCL 2008 on my machine.

Thanks!

It says "Pmount Puppy Drive Mounter".

It could be considered that the tooltip is superfluous if it is the same as the window title. The difference becomes apparent when you have 20 windows open. You cannot read the window title on the taskbar.

"I suggest the name "Live Cow" - I have no idea how to use a dead cow."
Hamburgers, leather jackets, Jello. . . the list is long.

Is there an md5sum file somewhere so I can check the iso before I upload.
