Which Puppy would You recommend for a Laptop Toshiba Pentium4 3.06 GHz, RAM 190MB? WaryPuppy5.2.2 shows a black desktop until the x-server is restarted. Would RacyPuppy be a besser decision or simply a newer Wary?

hey ip71sr

try slacko 5.3.3, it has worked on every machine I've tried it on

loads to choose from so download and try

to save burning to disc every time, download the .iso of you choice, click on it to reveal it's contents and copy to a suitable folder (ie slacko533)

once copied, run grub4dos and you're done

:)

I run Slacko5.5 on a 500MHz PC.

Actually, I run Slacko5.5-PAE, even though the PAE isn't necessary on the old machine. It's just nice to have the same version running on the old and new machines.

It's great that Slacko5.5 supports both a current machine and a 1998 PC.
