Hi everybody ! Smile

Carolina is great and I'm using it in a pc with a frugal install because it's wonderful !
I would have just a simple question: in the website of Carolina there are two good tutorials about installation of AMD/ATI and nVidia drivers.
Both recall the devx_lina_xxx.sfs but only the 005 and 006 seem available.
The current version is 007 and maybe one of the above mentioned could be used or maybe there will be a new release (or maybe I didn't find it..).
However, could anyone kindly tell me any info about?
Thanks !

Try 006

inoxidabile,

Do as smokey01 said, the devx is the same in all versions, you can rename it to 007 if you wish.
I should of mentioned that earlier, there is no point in duplicating it for each version,
well not until if or when there is a change to the devx, nothing is currently planned to be done.

Many thanks smokey01 and Geoffrey, I'll do in that way.
And Many thanks for the great job about Carolina ! Smile

Unfortunately, it seems that the release of ATI driver I need (Radeon X1200) has some conflict with the kernel... the installation shows a message, more or less about this.
However, it isn't a problem, it was only to try an improvement, the behaviour is acceptable also without that driver (thanks to the great Carolina!)

Would you check the version of yaf-splash that Carolina uses??

I am having trouble with command lines that use the close never option

You need a newer version of yaf-splash to support this option

Hi,

I found a good office application called kingsoft office.

It has offered a ubuntu deb file for installation.

Is there a way to install this office software to use in carolina?

Thanks!

Geoffrey ,

Thanks for the reply.

It is a great pity. I tested the kingsoft slide presentation program and found it to be quite close to the microsoft powerpoint as compared to the freeoffice softmaker slide program.

Anyway, i am happy that the freeoffice softmaker works in carolina.

I hope that someday, the kingsoft office will also work in carolina because carolina seems to be really a very capable puppy linux os and can handle many things very well. It is also very fast and has many convenient features that helps someone like me who knows very little about the technical and programing side of pc.

Thanks!

To Geoffrey....

Regards a simple snapshot program...

Have you ever tried psnapshot
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=595913

I made a simple change to mtpaintsnapshot.sh
and the snapshots are saved to a folder named 'Screenshots'.

Pemasu uses it in some of his distros.

Without going through the entire thread, I have to ask if there is an easy way to go back to using single-click with my mouse.
Currently, some things work with single click, and some require double-click in Carolina.
And I am using version 12 from the download directory.

Sorry!

I posted in the wrong thread.
I was using Luki 12.
I reposted there.

It's ok, Saluki will be the same.
