Re: how to install Adobe flash player in puppy?

Hi. I downloaded install_flash_player_10_ linux tar.gz. As I'm newbie I ask for a step by step way as how to install it in my puppy 4.2.1. Without a flash player I can't see some important videos and URL pages which could help me with puppy. Sorry bad English I am from Brazil (awful English). :oops...

Looking for a more recent java(solved)

I know I saw on here, I believe it was ttuuxxx had made a pet with the most recent Java but search on puppyforums leaves a lot to be desired. Does anyone know where I can find it? Or if not can someone walk me through a manual install? I'm running the latest 4.2.1 with a full HD install. Thanks!!

It doesn't bother me, but my wife doesn't like 24 hour time on her desktop so if there is a way to fix it I need to find it. I remember this coming up before but can't remember what the solution was. Tried search but it brought up all kinds of topics that had nothing at all to do with it. Thanks fol...

How to download pictures from a FUJI FinePix S1000? (Solved)

My wife has a FUJI camera and I'm having problems locating a pet package that will allow me to get the pics off of it. Does anyone know of a .pet package that I can use?

Puppy 4.2 is about to win her over from the world of windoze, we just need to find the right program for her camera. Thanks.

I believe it's done for. Now they are going over to the ChurchPup Concordia, also ttuuxxx is releasing a newer version of LivingWaters (highly anticipating that one myself!) I'm not involved with churchpup so I could be wrong, but I've used it and I've followed the thread so I believe I'm right.

Okay, tried both solutions, the one quoted got me further but it hung up after "Creating unionfs on (/initrd)/pup_new(to become '/')..." it won't go any further than that.
