A band new package of Opera 10.54 has been posted today in the Quirky 1.0 feedback thread. This one is based on today's excellent snapshot - loads of fixes and improvements.

I removed even more stuff, so it's now the lightest package of Opera ever and uses much less resources if you follow the instructions I posted below the download link.

Enjoy!

Woof woof!

Turbopup is fantastic!

I am using a pII 233 with 128mb RAM and a CD-rom. USB is 1.1.

I tried installing XP, but i could not get an internet connection.

i tried win98, but it was missing tons of dll's.

With Turbopup, it found my PCI wifi card, and was replying to emails in less time than win98 could install!!

But, i cannot install the dang thing on my hard drive!!!

its infuriating- i did a clean reformatting in ext2. I ran through the universal install, no problem.

But it won't boot!

please help!

Somebody know how can I "full install" (without the sfs file, but own partition to use) on USB this one?

Hi
Fine idea - i need realy fast system for my Toshiba 330cdt laptop

• Intel® Pentium® with MMX™ (1.8/2.5V) at 266MHz
• 32MB EDO RAM standard, expandable to 96MB
• 512KB Pipelined burst level 2 cache
• PCI Architecture for optimal performance
• 4.0 billion byte (=3.82GB) hard disk drive
• Integrated 20x max. speed CD-ROM drive and floppy drive
• 12.1" diagonal, 800x600 TFT Active Matrix colour display
• Built-in sound system
• USB port for high speed connection to your USB peripherals

great as a typewriter in my work

Puppy run quite fast, but i need it faster
Turbo looks great, but
i need another kernel - my laptop run only on retro kernels, like this:
puppy-4.1.2retro-k2.6.21.7-seamonkey.iso

have you link to Turbo with this kernel?
Or can you tell me in a simple way (i'm no geek) how to run turbopup with this?
(acpi=off didn't work )

[rbwilliams]

So how do i save my settings? Or are they now done automagically?

I know this may sound pointless, but can you add Javascript to Seamonkey in Turbo
(or Turbo Extreme)?

Thanks in advance,

CP .

It has javascript, you just click the S in the lower right corner to allow the scripts you want.

To enable Java, click preferences, in the Edit menu, then Advanced. There is a check box there.

[Colonel Panic]

Thanks, I've just learnt something (and clicked on the S too).

Cheers,

Does anyone know how to make Facebook Chat work on SM 1.1.15? I'm very pleased with the stability that I've seen with it on TurboPup Extreme on my Dumpster Dell.

Hi. I've seen a thread in another part of the forum about speeding up Puppy's boot up. I've had the opposite problem; when I've tried to boot Puppy Turbo Extreme, it boots so quickly I've no time to type in options such as "pfix=ram" at the command prompt.

Has anyone got any ideas how I can insert, say, a five second delay so I can type in commands at the prompt to modify the bootup?

Thanks in advance,

Colonel Panic .

It's an uncorrected oversight in Turbo - he's been advised.
Suggest you edit <menu.lst> .
What you are describing is not the boot up process which remains lamentably slow. There is a system of speed booting, but neither BK nor turboman have adopted it - yet.

[Colonel Panic]

Thanks for replying. I'm booting from a live disk and can't find menu.lst; is it associated with Grub and a hard drive install?

Best,

CP .
