Muchas gracias Señor Morales

Thanks also for the link to your blog (with more great tips!) and - via Github - to various software downloads - including on the archive.org mirror (great resource).

Scroll half-way down the long list to find the GCompris-12.01 pets, including gcompris-it-12.01-i486.pet (which, in my experience, works on various 5.x series Puppies without needing additional packages).

Thanks for the woofs (the hearty welcome to the kennel) and thanks for the suggestion to try Fluppy. Unfortunately the primitive processor in my netbook does not have "cmov", a feature required by the kernels included in the current Fluppy, the current Saluki, and many other modern distros...
