gnumeric

Perhaps I just don't know how to use the packager. When I search for gnumeric in "all repositories" it is not found. When I look at the configure page I find that the unicorn entry is checked, but grayed out. When I click on "add a repository help" I get no response. The same sit...

CUPS problem

I downloaded a new copy of the iso, and CUPS now works perfectly. I feel dumb for not doing this sooner.

How to use 32-bit HP 5610 in Slacko64? (Solved)

Slacko64 runs faster on my machine than any other puppy except Quirky, and since Quirky is no longer an maintained distro I would like to use Slacko64 as my main OS. However, Slacko64 does not recognize my printer (a 32 bit HP 5610), nor am I able to install a PDF printer. Searching for a solution I...

Quirky and Quirky Tahr

I am confused as to the purposes and directions of Quirky v6.x and Quirky Tahr v6.x. In addition to Quirky Tahr's ability to use Ubuntu packages it looks as if other innovations are appearing in it but not in Quirky v6.x. Is Tahr being used solely as a vehicle for testing new ideas with no intention...

Font size of Seamonkey's menus

Thank you, Barry K. The chrome file works very nicely.

Spellchecker in ABIword

Everything I use in Slacko-5.5 seems rock solid except for ABIword's spellchecker. When I add a new word (e.g., my name), initially flagged as misspelled, the current document subsequently accepts the spelling as being OK. However, in any new document the word is not recognized as being correct, and...

grub4dos boot optons

Is it possible to modify grub4dos to add a boot choice like "pfix-ram"?

I use grub4dos, but it always skips the initial puppy splash screen and the F2 option to add various boot options.

Re: Iron 13, Google Chrome 13, Chromium 15

This works fine for me. It installs Chrome-13 in /opt, but it won't run by clicking on an icon in /opt, returning a message that Chrome can't be run as root. It does run when clicked in the internet menu. How can I get an icon on the desktop?

CUPS does not work on my Gateway DX210X desktop.

The last time I was able to print from Puppy was in version 321.

Has CUPS been shelved since then?
