Installed the PET for 32-bit version, no warnings or errors, working on my Xenialpup32.

Just started playing with it, looks like it'll be very useful for me.

Thanks!

Installed and running on Xenialpup32. Actually, I upgraded from 3.98(?). Tested the new customisable toolbar, drag and dropped several items, worked fine.

Thanks for this, OscarTalks

I use that on my Xenialpup and use the KeePassDroid app on my Android phone. I use the same database; I just copy it from my Puppy machine and onto my phone and K...

On my Tahrpup using mainly Pale Moon, the Firefox add-on "Download YouTube Videos as MP4 1.8.8" also works in Pale Moon for me:

Since you've been able to sync twice already, this might help. For me, I realised I could get my PDA to sync consistently when I pressed Hotsync on my PDA before clicking the sync button in JPilot.

Ha, yes. Same. I still don't really know what "indexed" is either, so thanks for that link. I'll try to learn. :)

For a keyboard shortcut, try:

ALT + 1 (switches to desktop 1)
ALT + 2 (to switch to desktop 2)
(and so on)

I just found out about this myself from here: http://tinycorelinux.com/forum/index.php?topic=2923.0.
