Hello Legacy OS Users,

While the default Music Manager Amarok should serve most users needs, those wanting extra features can now install aTunes and/or Jajuk in Legacy.

While both aTunes and Jajuk will find Covers and Lyrics, Jajuk will also provide Artist Bio's. Enjoy!

Turn an old PC in to a cool modern Jukebox!

Hello Legacy OS 2 Users,

The following Apps have been added to the Repository...

Opera 12 Final
Dolphin File Manager (QT3 Version)
Oxygene Game

Please update to Opera 12 Final for an improved on line experience. I recommend leaving Opera 10 installed for those sites that require Java.

The Dolphin File Manager is only a 261kb download but adds to the user experience and is worth installing.

Don't run Legacy OS4 full time but since I am at the moment I downloaded and installed Opera 12........ appears to be working fine.

Hello Muggins,

John,

forum member WN2A has version 0.16 in this thread.

It definitely works, (after install of QT3 pet), in p301. Unable to confirm with legacyOS2 as my lappie no like.

The only thing I'm not sure about, with WN2A's pet, is that it has quite a few static libraries sitting in /root directory, which bulk up it's size. If it works OK 4 you, perhaps you could cull them?

Hello Muggins,
Yes 0.16 does install and works, anyone who needs QUCS and hasn't installed my 0.14 version can use 0.16.
If you have already installed 0.14 installing 0.16 and choosing it from the menu under network will start my version, sorry!
To start 0.16 navigate to /usr/local/bin and click qucs

Thanks Muggins for this link. If you know of any other app that runs in Puppy 3 and want to share please post here and I'll test. Thanks
