I just found this. It's supposed to work on any operating system.
...And it's very lightweight.

Actually...forget it. I should have tried downloading first.
The download is broken.

Please don't add Chrome. I'm sure that there are numerous webkit browsers out there that are better for privacy. *SRWare Iron for instance*
but I don't think that people should just sacrifice their anonymity over anything.

Can I ask a question?
I checked the Mtpaint website but I didn't find any mention of versioin 3.44.13.

...And the only versions available for download are 3.40

Is this a Git version or something?

No, I actually don't care for screen capture, other then to report bugs online.
But I was hoping that there would some performance improvements.
Not to say that pekwm needs them, it's fast enough. But if it got even faster, that wouldn't be a bad thing.

What type of eReader do you have?
I have a generic E-ink e-reader. I don't even know who made it.

On my Bodhi linux box, it's usually detected as an android device.
...But on Fatdog it's not detected at all.

I hope that helped...

I've tried to mount my e-reader but Fatdog won't detect it.
Even Calibre, *which I installed* doesn't detect it.

How do I get the ebook reader to be found?

I have a quick question.

I plugged in my generic eink ebook reader and Fatdog doesn't recognize it.

How do I get it mounted?

...And also is Calibre available for Fatdog?

Hi, I was trying to change my keyboard layout to Russian for some quick work but when I tried to change the xkbmap, it would cause me to be unable to type at all, and I'd have to reset X. I looked through the locales and realized that russian isn't even included... Is there someway to add more langu...

I haven't been on this laptop for a while, I'm back on Lazy and I decided that I'd best update the flash player. I downloaded the newest dotpets off these forums and decided it would be quicker that way. But when I click on them, I get an error saying that there's a wrong password or I'm not running...

I tried to download it but Mediafire says the download is corrupt and won't let me download.

Can you upload to an alternate host in case?

An Older Catalyst Driver For Puppy Precise?

I run a machine with a Mobility Radeon 4200 GPU, and there aren't many drivers available for it in newer operating systems.

AMD doesn't offer support for it either.

I was just wondering if there's a .pet for Catalyst 10 or 11, that would install on puppy precise.

I'm not sure.

Most pets built in puppy4 will work in newer pups.

...However it has to be a puppy with an older GLIBC.

Thank you in advance, if you try.

Someone needs to compile a QT 4.80+ .sfs on an older puppy.

It's our only hope.

I talked to the developers and they said that it can work on older versions of glibc if QT is compiled with it.

What version of GlibC does it use?

If it's 2.15, then many older puppy users are screwed. :(

...Does this personal data .sfs record changes to the file system or just the home folder?

How does it know which settings or files go where?

I was under the impression that the personal data .sfs was just the home folder.
*I'm probably wrong.*

Wow! That's interesting. Though that means that after using 3.0 five or six times, there would five or six backup .sfs in the frugal directory. Those would have to be cleared out manually before they start to clutter the partition outside the frugal install. ...Did I understand that correctly? Or wo...

I see. ...One thing I'm surprised about is that I've always thought that .sfs files were read only. For an .SFS to be an effective save medium, it would need to be written to. Though I understand about the awkwardness of saving regularly. if I install something by accident or screw up, all those scr...

Thank you for the compliment. :oops: I love Qupzilla. I kind of wished I'd built it from source rather then just repackaging and stripping down the deb file. I could have compiled some external addons that aren't available by default. *Though I suppose it isn't necessary* I installed it on an old PC...
