Thanks Jemimah.. the switcher is at an unexpected place but it works fine!

and for the rest - I guess it must be a hell of a job to create a linux which
seamlessly can install any application from a site like

http://www.opensourcesoftwaredirectory.com

(which contains a mixed bunch of debs tarballs and more)

but perhaps in some near future I hope that Saluki groks the install button om the getdeb site (where most of the interesting ubuntu progs can be found). A translation app which translates puppy SFS4 files to a kind of SFS4 which is acceptable for Saluki would hopefully also be doable

'cuz for the moment ordinary users like mee will still need the skills of people like you to finetune many if not most open source apps for Saluki.

This is another old one from my 'wanted' list. I do not know if it is possible but clonezilla is an image-everything tool like pudd, but generally much faster. It is not an app but a separate kind of linux, capable of making an clone/image of almost everything. Kind of software equivalent of the star trek replicator.

I think it would be great if clonezilla could be a part of some kind of puppy (preferably saluki). I suppose that can be done by using virtualbox.

I am dreaming of cloning, for instance, a GPS device- including maps an all- or anything with an USB cable attached, so I can have good backup to image on a new one of the same brand (or on a virtual copy of the device which then can run in a puppy/saluki environment).

I thought I'd ask whether anybody else is getting crashes and warning like these, this the short version but shows some of what I've been getting with a number of different apps,

I tried Saluki 0.21 with the 1101HA EEEPC to see if this would solve sound issues, but the recording of sound still causes lots of very irritating background noise.

The microphone problem in AsusEEE 11 and 12 series occurs in Ubuntu as well. So I think it is a linux driver problem. I can only use skype in windows on my eee 1215n

see attached photo for the terminal report. It happens after opening a photo when I want to resize it. Viewing is no problem, resizing is.

Awakening from suspend doesn't work either under Saluki 0.21 for the 1101HA: screen stays black.

See the attached screenshot for the terminal report.

I tried to install specto in Saluki 22. But it does not add a menu entry automatically, and does not run when started manually. Can it be that some part of the program is missing?
