Hello! I-m typing this on my brand new supah doopah puppy linux, and I-m so happy, is running almost flawless on my old P166Mhz 96Mb Ram 6Gig HD...

It was very good from the beginin althougth i missed the mouse config and had to re do that, right now the issues I have are:

/My keyboard is miss configured (I have a latin americn keyboard and haven-t found the option tht make it work)

- I have to activate sound manually everytime I reboot

-Can-t play Mp3 (both players throw an error)

-I cant find a way to open power point files

-mozilla odly close itself when viewing some pages

beside that, everything is beautiful, im on icewm with the XP theme and work very very well, had downloaded opera browser and it works very quick on this old computer. It actually is an usable computer again...

Well, this is just to let you know that another puppy has been adopted

woof!

(any help is welcomed, )

If you download the Chubby Puppy it contains Open Office which has a program, impressss that will open MS Power Point files perfectly.

If yo go to the main Puppy page at www.goosee.com/puppy and go to the news or download page you will find where to download Chubby Puppy.

It is around 60M download.

Thanks for all your help,

Now I have my keybord well configured!

Still can't play mp3, the only app that sounds is gaim, I have a ISA soundblaster AWE 32 and I activace it doing modprobe sb

Now I have registered free Opera thanks to Lobster!

And I'm donwloading chubby puppy to have open office.

Any way, there are still things I want to do and I don't know how:

-Install and run fluxbox (i've downloaded a dotpup that says something about being a fluxbox menu, but i don't know what to do with it), i hope this WM to speed up a little the interface

-Change the "shortcuts" of the desktop, I would like to add access to opera there and other things such as my-documents folder, and delete other things.

-Find a way to edit php files, Beaver just doesn't open them, bluefish is too old and doesn't have php syntax color, leaf pad is too simple and had problems saving files with strange (á,ñ,é) characters, and MP... MP highlith php but it is console and can't use the mouse, so in a big file it'll be surely a problem.

Another question, how good is the AbbiWord-M$ Word compatibility?

Thank you very much for all of your time.

I've discovered that flash sound also works.

just went to http://music.podshow.com and could listen correctly with the flash little buttons.
