slacko6.3.0(64)

tku micko and the gang -- as long as I can hear Radio NZ and the BBC I am pretty happy, and I was having trouble since Flash seems to have been squashed and quashed lately. However, I was delighted that I can get everything I want now with the 6.3.0 after having been out of it for a couple of weeks....

Puppy can't see pictures on SD card but the camera can

When SD card is in camera I can see all the photos. When I mount the SD card on PC it shows a yellow triangle. I would like to save the 20 pix I took if I can. Never happened before. Mystified - I can see them but can't touch!

puppy528

Thank you, Beem: the link for Radio NZ International is: http://www.radionz.co.nz/audio/live/rnzi/adaptive.asx It is for WMA, and adapts to the bandwidth available to the listener. I am puzzled because 520 and some earlier Puppies have no problems, so I hope this is not a new change. Many thanks to ...

Puppy on the older eeepc (701SD 7014G)

Dear Nevermore I have an eeepc 701SD and have found Wary Puppy and Puppy 5.2 to be very good, and am trying Puppy 5.25 next.

Dear Gang - I am spending my retirement trying out all the Puppies - what a pleasure and how grateful I am to all you clever people. I hope to join a linux at one end of my wife's l-shaped desk to a windows one at the other. At last, she is willing to try Linux as her Windows keeps gumming up and de...

Installing_NVu_on_Dingo

I went to puppylinux.ca and downloaded the dot pup for Nvu-1.0 which appeared to install OK, shows on the start menu but still no action. I hope someone, sometime can tell me why it won't start, or what I need to do. However, I am still enjoying Dingo.
Have a nice day!
