I discovered that slacko-6.3.2 did include Pcur. It was hidden away in: Puppy Desktop Menu JWM menu manager, Add/remove apps from the main menu I added Pcur and downloaded cursor_themes-1-1.pet. I have loaded a large white cursor and it seems to finish my cursor difficulty. Later: I followed OscarTa...

The downloaded iso md5 checks out. The install may be bad. I will get rid of it and reinstall. This is a frugal install to a hard drive. I am using a save file with about 80% free. The computer has 1814864kB of RAM. I will hunt around for a newer driver, but compiling drivers is a bit beyond my expe...

method of updating to Nov., 2017 - Final
I am currently using lupu3hd-5.2.8.7-20161228.
I would like to update this to the latest version - lupu3hd-5.2.8.7-20171125.
What is the easiest and fastest way to do this update. Previously I would do a new installation of the update; which seemed to be a waste of time.
What do you recommend?

1. Does your printer work with other documents? 2. Does it work with other PDF files? 3. If you load your PDF into Lupu's PDF viewer program, will it print from there? Just to be clear: After filling in the form, you used File > Export to PDF. Also, Xournal has its own Print function. Did you try t...

I am using a HP Deskjet 1010 Printer. Can you recommend a different Puppy that I can get PeasyPDF and Xournal...
