@ttuuxxx I played around last night. I tried netsurf and its not good. I tried to download abiworld from your link 2 hours with netsurf but no luck. And it downloads some files by it self (5 files and one was with extension .iso?) That is strange! Speed? It yust to slow. Puppy is not meant for such ...

Ok these one works. I didn't find somethinhg that would not work for now. So impressions: + -i like the style, icons... -almost nothing (if anything at all) is missing in functionality. You put in nice replacements for programs. -it works faster (boot + opening of programs) So the right programs was...

CF card on ide adapter acts yust like hard disk. There isn't any difference. Swap is only problematic if system would do much writing over and over again beacose cheap flash memory (cf cards, usb keys...) has the tandency to wear out. :) I will probably use swap in the end evan if its on CF card. If...

hey don't give up on me yet :) By no means! :) I yust reported is somebody have ancient hardware that Deli Linux works preaty good. But that is yust the first impression i didn't use it and configure it much yet. Ok It would run best installed, I tought about that too yestrday beacose Deli Linux do...

Ok finnaly instaled Deli Linux. First impressions? Hum. Abiword 2.4 is fast it has mail client. Works fast. I don't know. I must do much testing now and setting network and if USB things are detected... But looks fast. I am glad i giave it another try. Yestrday i tried and have troubles installing. ...

Yes i tried Ted with DSL linux. Hum. Its preatty hard to use.

I am trying to install Deli Linux a few hours now and it seems i will make it work afterall.

A am qurious how it will perform.

Well see.

Yes i tried fat free. It was fast but bigger apps too slow. RTF editor, chat...

You relally digg in to it. Can't wait to try.

Consider looking into DeLi Linux . Tried it. Long story short: I made livecd (install cd) of delilinux and put it in the cd rom of laptop. Then i started the laptop and it took about 5 minutes and i got an error. Linux said to me i can't find CD-rom!!! Linux that is unable to find itself? Unbelieva...

Hello First thing don't get upset I've spent around 30+hrs trying to make you happy. You will have amsn messenger client Siag office for you rtf editor Dillo is not included, Netsurf is, which is way better of a small browser, I included the latest version I have an older version of Claws mail (10M...

they are fine (and fast) if you run without xwindows.

Yes but what can i do then with it? Can i have a RTF text editor on it an msn client?

I dont know. Then don't put in email client. I tought these 4 things i could have on my old laptop with linux installed on CF card: -RTF text editor -MSN client -Email support -Web support But guess not. :) I know how to make swap. So don't include it in if it can be included. There is a reason why ...

Ok i tested DSL to see what to expect. Basicaly it runs preaty well BUT installing anything a bit biger like yust abiword or something like that is still way to slow for normal use.

Too bad. I guess old laptop aren't meant to be anymore...

I did some aditional testing today and decided to give DSL another try. I comed to conclusion puppy yust won't run nicely on my old machine. And i don't have enought knowladge to make it run faster. I like puppy more but ... If i had at least 500mhz laptop with 256 mb ram no doubt i would use puppy....

I noticed and i report: CF to IDE type installation with universall installer doesn't work on my old toshiba laptop with puppy DINGO. It works like it should for now with version 3.01 When i try to install with DINGO i get usual setup menus but when i press last button yust before installation begin...

Ok i see you are trying. Thanx. First health than everything else! Thats my moto! :) So if these helps: -version 3.01 works the best on my laptop. Everything eith CF flash works as it should. (all other have troubles with CF card. Version 2.17.1 works but if i save session direct on CF then it does ...

Well see what the time brings.

Edit: I tested version 1.08 too yust to be complette. It doesn't boot.

I tried fat free. It's faster but don't have RTF text editor. I don't know if it has printer drivers. I decided i don't need printer drivers. Video suport was striped to? Or am i wrong. That's cool. I don't know what i'll do. I will use 3.01 official. And with time strip down everything i don't need...

@ttuuxxx

I browse to your site and find a fat free puppy. I will try it.

After testing many distributions i decided to use 3.01 and stick with it.

I will try to make the best of it with strip down.

And ttuuxxx said he will try to. I hope with 3.01 distro.

Good night for now. I didn't realise how late it is.
