It would seem a machine that would start of with at least 2gb ram.
The ram figures you see are the cpu cache which is a seperate thing....built into the processor.

In puppy terms it should run anything though nothing too old as drivers would be lacking.

Ah ha......nice one. :) good old java the dog lol...amazes me how they got it to work ok on android. Btw i notice the difference with xz compressed vmlinuz so unpacking the stuff is affected.... mounting the sfs wont be affected...its reading the files that is. Software boys with their toys..... Ope...

One factor is the use of squashfs with XZ compression which is notoriously slow at decompression. GZIP decompression is much faster for normal use, and an extra 10% to 20% disk space is unimportant even with vast programs like LibreOffice. Indeed the obsession with compression when so much space an...

The cookie scurge was a problem 20 years ago...the legistation was slow to react. The intrusions you describe are as likely to be related to javascript.... it harvests data from many of your site visits by google who sell it on to advertisers to give you those wonderful targetted ads and not to ment...

Try alternatives like softmaker office which have free versions. Everything else is magnitudes faster than open office yet seem to handle common formats with no problem. Even more so if your needs are straightforward text dicumeents as with a full suite 98 percent of it are features you will never u...

Ok I had the same thing trying to use an XP-422 . I built the driver from Epson and here is the result. Seems ok even for very old puppies (2 series!) as long as using cups. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ndcck8iss3s04pg/Escpr_1.7.7.tar.gz?dl=1 Basically add the files and in there there seems to be a ppd...

I supposed one criteria would be python 3 minimum reqirements for linux use. It appeared they were also dropping windows 7 support. Their web interface also demands very recent browsers. Their apis which other alternatives use need only basic web access....hence simpler and much lighter. Their web s...

Ok the main package https://www.dropbox.com/s/uqgy5akyg9554f1/Dev-Mingw_412.sfs?dl=1 And you might need this https://www.dropbox.com/s/5kyujby98ulnppb/glib-dev_2.28.8-1_win32.zip?dl=1 I have other oddments but I believe specific to what I was doing at the time which was building to work on 2000...th...

All I have is a ming32 sfs built to work on puppy 412 many moons ago.
I could upload if useful to you.
Otherwise perhaps going to the ming32 site may prove helpful.
I cannot remember where i got the files from...possibly nimblex.

Ah ha... love the beans on toast quip..... actually now fancy a plateful.
I also made a web interface as well in a similar fashion as dropbox's system requirements are now absurd and their website likes google to spy on your private storage.
Enjoy
Mike

Yes 64 bit.
It means you can use more than 3.5GB of ram. That may make ram greedy software like browsers faster.
Give it a try out.

Google TV (sorry you tube)and others do this but you may find your beloved browser works well beyond the sell by date. Its just a push to get you to buy hardware and allow more advertising and data harvesting which I assume you won't be a fan of. Not sure of the version correlation but Firefox Light...

How do u separate Gnome from the mplayer underneath? well in the lucid case you have the command line mplayer and gnome player as a front end. I that case I did rebuild mplayer to include its GUI for lucid as a solution. It also means a nice choice of interfaces. This make work on other systems as ...

Been playing with aria. If I play using the external keyboards sound set then no problem. You would need fluidsynth or timidity to get local playback. It failed to pick up my fluidsynth install. I am guessing its expecting different paths or perhaps library versions. Puppy does not have midi support...

Audacious was one of a series of bad audio players.
Deadbeef does it properly as an alternative.

The problem most likely is audacious using an older or inappropriate sound driver method and thus 'hogging' the sound card.
Java can do a similar annoying trick.

Claims security reasons.

Yes a common sales ploy at the moment... i mean cake recipes need encryption lol.... more to do with promoting newer browsers which allow easy tracking and advert pushing.....ie money.

I digress...glad you got sorted

Mike

Gnome player is pretty awful but the mplayer underneath should handle anything mp4 like. Its more likely that the video output in preferences needs changing xvideo or xshm... which suggests that you lack a video driver and the fallback used cannot handle video that well. You may get similar problems...

Google just happens to be the most prominent offender but indeed privacy infringements are rampant. Perhaps the the international nature of the internet is the problem or the slowness to react by governments. The cookie policy disclaimers are a just a nuisance and not the problem they were twenty ye...

The 'simple' interfaces on here use a bash script which uses the standard dropbox apis but you have the advantage of no file system limitations. I also made a web interface which works in a similar way. Python (dropbox and others) is simply used in a similar but much more cumbersome way but it does ...

Having actually read googles terms and conditions they basically build a profile with the gathered information but the only weakness it builds this around one machine/ip/system so if you hop around its less likely to make much sense. For example ecapcha is now on track and trace for our post office ...
