Or we can use httrack to download the book. It was two years ago when I fist saw Grokking the Gimp. I so impressed with the material I found inside that after downloading the book, I painstakingly cut and pasted them all in OpenOffice.

Thanks for the help. I was able to get netscape to work by googling and downloading the necessary files. (I didn't see your reply earlier because the post was moved to another location) However, I still cannot access my bank's portal and the website rendering, especially the fonts were bad on my ins...

Now I get it. A typographical error was the culprit. Now the command line is telling me to get libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2

Cannot run Netscape Communicator

Recently, I installed netscape communicator 4.8 to be able to access my bank account online. (The website only works with internet explorer and netscape communicator.) But whenever I type "netscape" on the command line, I get mozilla and I still cannot login on the bank's website.

Well, it worked after using the command line to call the ndiswrapper command. I was using the network wizard before. The only thing that bothers me now is the lack of access points in our area. :(

So far, I've been unable to make the corega WLUSB2GL usb wifi adapter to work in puppy 2.14. Ndiswrapper ways "invalid module" to any of the sis163u.inf files included in the cd. (for win98, win2k, win Me, winXp) RutilT says "Critical error: Can't find any wireless network interface. ...

Not really---I don't have a wireless network at home. But the place where I work is within a wifi hotspot. Maybe in the future I'd have one. Thanks. :D

Thanks for the help. Abiword is working now. After deleting the traces of Abiword from the 2.11 install, I tried the dotPET package manager first. It worked.

how can I get chix to work gaim 1.5?

I am using the default version of gaim from puppy2.11. When I installed the chix dotpup the puppy package manager says the package already existed so what I installed had to be deleted... Gtkfind shows a file libchixgaim.so in the innards of the usr directory but there is no "chix" listed ...
