How to get Icons (Launchers) to the desktop
Posted: Fri 20 Feb 2015, 19:46
I m a Linux newbie, with too many years of Windows experience.
For the last few weeks I have been running Mint 17.1 with the help of the Official User Guide and members of the Mint Forum. The Mint Guide is now becoming seriously outdated and an update would do wonders to advance the Mint cause. I have given up on Mint for the present as I can not get the Print function to perform consistantly.
At present I am trying tahr Puppy 6.0.2 PAE but it is not easy. Most of the experience gained on Mint is not relevant in Puppy.
Printing is a problem again. I have an HP 1020 Laser printer. It is recognised by the system but it just does not print.
I will be persevering for a while but not being able to put program icons on the desktop is a real PITA. If I can find a solution to this it will reduce my level of frustration considerably.
I am not even sure that this mail is being sent to the right place for tahr Puppy 6.0.2 PAE experts. If I am wrong will someone please pass the message on and let me know here.
TIA,
