@ras, Fossil, would that change for you if you needed one to fly or travel or even go to the store? No! Fly. Travel. Shopping/Store go there in person. Never required such a device. To misquote Carl Marx: 'Smartphones are the opiate of the people.' It's an optically self-indulgent narcotic. Haven't...

As mikeslr suggested, you are not restricted to just one search engine in whatever browser you choose to run - there are loads out there! All can be installed by just a few clicks. There is also a website - the Mycroft Project - where you can download a considerable choice. The usual caveates apply!...

To help everyone concerned, please be precise and give full details of each computer: their processor, memory, hard drive and especially in this instance the video system. Is Slacko running directly from a CD or have you created a frugal install and saved it to the hard drive? These little pieces of...

I'm in the bigpup and Mike Walsh category. Small village, no shops, lacks a post office, no mains gas and no bus service; nothing for over five miles except green fields,woodlands, a large river and the Cotswold hills beyond. Broadband stutters along at under 1 meg per second. Very rural. Know every...

Whatever would possess you to destroy a perfectly good - working - hard drive? If nothing else it co...

Auronius . Do you want to change the font or, just enlarge the menu's and bookmarks in your browser? If that is the case, you need to edit the browser's (personal) Userchrome.css See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Pane_and_menu_fonts This is an old example, but you can get the gist. * * Edit this file ...

Minimal requirements. In case the subject does come up, I've been running (for fun!) Precise March 17 2019 on an ancient Compaq Ipaq desktop 500 mHz with 250 megs of RAM and double that amount swap partition using a security tightened-down Firefox 27 and a Palemoon_27.9.4 SSE GLIBC19 portable.

Speaking as a practical user rather than a 'theorist', I've used Puppy Linux for well over fifteen years starting with a 0.-something distribution, probably 0.8 and then moving on through 1.3, 2.14 to the marvellous 'MeanPup', then 'Firehydrant' and equally excellent 4-series and up to today. In all...

I suspect that firethumbs is hoping to switch languages between English and Persian via a menu or window style task-bar key. As far as I'm aware - please correct me - Puppy does not have this form of configuration. @firethumbs. Is this correct, is this what you want to do? Yes or No. An alternative ...

Ahem! Could this be the orientation of your network card in relationship to your laptop and router? Where and how is it located. Is the polarization in just one plane? The chair - wood or metal? Any other metalwork close by; artificial leg, etc? Failing any other (sane) answer, take the laptop down ...
