I know I could find this somewhere in the forum, but I need some help. I seem to remember when I installed Slacko 5.6 that there were two options for installing grub, now there is only one "Grub for DOS". I do not have windows on my laptop and haven't used it in years. I really am stuck at...

bigpup - I was able to adjust the brightness through the gamma calibration as you suggested. Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks Bigpup. I am using a Sony Vaio VGN-FW with an ATI Radeon. Where would I find the program for this?

Thank you everybody for your replies. I really appreciate it, but I'm afraid this is a little over my head. I'm use to F4 or F5 to adjust brightness. I just thought there was some GUI interface in a place I wasn't looking. I ran the code in terminal as suggested but could not find a way to copy and ...

I am using Slacko 5.6 and would like to know how to adjust the screen brightness.

Thanks!

ardvark - I feel so dumb! I should have checked my old posts. Thank you so much for your help. My memory isn't that great sometimes.

So I am new to Puppy and am using Slacko. My clock is showing military time and I want a 12 hour click that shows AM/PM. I tried to download Pup Clock Set and it opened in a text program and gave me no options. I spent maybe an hour trying to change this. Most distros let you change the properties o...

The current version of Firefox ESR is 24.0, but I am stuck with version 17 from the ISO. How do I update to the latest version?

Thank You!

I am using the latest Slacko build and can't seem to find out how to update Firefox to the latest version. If anyone can give me some help I would be really thankful.

Thanks for a great distro.

Thank you for responding to my post. I appreciate it.

I am new to Puppy but wiant to make it my primary distro. Does anyone know when the next version will be out?

Thank you.

Bigpup - Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my post. I appreciate it. It is much better than being directed to RTFM.

So I am brand new to Puppy, coming over from Mint. I am running Puppy Precise 5.7 and I just wanted to ask how I can tell if updates are available and how to tell if there are any I need.

Thanks!

Thank you everybody for your help. I appreciate it.

I seem to have everything set up. I am running Puppy Slacko and I can get the date by clicking on the time, but what can I do to show the date all of the time?

Thank you!

Thank you all for your replies! I really appreciate it. I have used Ubuntu, Mint, Slackware derivatives, Mageia, Fedora, and a few others. I have been wanting to download Puppy for awhile, so I'll give it a try.

Thanks again!

I am new to Puppy, and was wondering if it will always be based on Ubuntu. I know there is a Slackware variant, but the main distro seems to be Ubuntu based.

Thanks.

Monsie and Dewbie - Thank you both for the responses. I have never used a distro with such a great community. It means a lot.

Thanks again!

I am new to Puppy and am running Puppy Precise. I was wondering how to check on updates, or if Puppy alerts you automatically when an update is available.

This info is probably somewhere on the site already, so apologies for asking if it is.

Thank you-

Thank you all for your help. I now have AM/PM time. I also wanted to say "thank you" to the developers of this distro. I have tried around 50 distros so far, and I am coming over from Linux Mint. I have to say that the support here is great, and I am now a Puppy convert. Kindest Regards! :D
