Lobster. You are right about spell checking. The Firefox I downloaded straight from Mozilla seems to lack dictionaries.

To get spell checking working. Type to any text box like this forum post box more than 2 rows whatever. Right click then the text box, select Languages and you will be redirected to the selection site. Download for example swahili, install it and restart Firefox. There you go.

Hmm, next question where does the dictionary be downloaded so that I could include finnish and gb_english as default. us_english people I will leave out. Lol. Just kidding.

EDIT: /root/.mozilla/firefox/he02dffd.default/extensions/en-GB@dictionaries.addons.mozilla.org

And so we have learned something new which we didnt know before. This is good morning

Good catch Lobster.

As I remember, JAVA apps are suppose to run on any platform that has JAVA,

I installed JAVA from Quickset after downloading each, ICE and SNOW. Then I installed 2 apps for network use; namely DPUP5520
's AngryIP and IPmonitor. Neither runs.

But on PUP525, they run OK.

Is thre something special about ICE/SNOW? s there something I'm missing in my logic? These should be running, but they aren't.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

[pemasu]

I dont think so. I have run java apps just fine. There is nothing special with Ice Puppy or Snow Puppy regarding java apps.

[pemasu]

Just tested again. I installed java_jre-6u22-Lucid-sfs4.sfs with sfs on the fly and then I run acpitool_gui which is java application. It runs just fine.

[gcmartin]

Hope this help ID the problem. "Nothing happens" when I use QuickPET and select JAVA this way.

Additional info: (Please keep in mind ALL system tests continue to be Live media tests)
Geoffrey offers a suggestion on this problem

Indeed the more pets tab from quick pet don't download java ( nor other pet's) and thus don't install them.
Running Snowpup 020.

When I select OpenOffice I get a pop-up saying I have to install puppy first.
Very funny.

[jim3630]

get error when try install java it recommended to abort due to install /mnt/home. see png. where should I install it?

[pemasu]

It looks like quickpet needs updating. I try to search if there is easy remedy for it.

[jim3630]

follow up did install Java to the quickpet default /mnt/home and installed angry IP. doesn't work. console shows 0 for "java"

what dir would you untar jre?

Another flawless upgrade from 013 to 014. Everything just works.

Hopefully, someone will prepare some pets for this for the nvidia drivers.

Thanaks,
Jim
