Shinobar, I was lazy and only updated with the older 508 or even 506 pupsave so it did a lot of corrections and flash worked.

But I have to do connect again each time me boot up while way back it did remember how to connect.

So it could be due to me too lazy.

Just a naive thought.

Suppose just me lazy or suppose also many others a bit lazy.

What we need is a puppy that can import all the emails and bookmarks and such from the other puppies. That way everbody would be more willing to try out different Puppy versions. Now one need to remake everything over again.
Too much work.


Now I have three fave Puppy distros.

Quirky 1.0 or 1.2 not sure which to use.
LupQ 509 but it has no email due to Quirky has all the emails already set up and me too lazy to do all that work again. One need to be able to import such from Quirky to LupQ?

I ahve also tried out Puppeee and Fluppy but don't like that it do indexing of directories. Lock up the machine if one have only 500MB memory.

So if I could easily move the Seamonkey email set up out of the Quirky 1.0 and import it into LupQ or to have it as a portable .sfs on the hard drive would be even better.

The best would be to have everything totally portable on the HDD and then regardless of what Puppy one used one had access to every program but on the HDD and not dependent on the pupsave. [/b


Now the Pupsave on Quirky is some 780MB and take a very long time to back up.

So need to trim it down. Sorry for being so confused.

I really love your version of Lucid. LupQ is a good distro.

Another tip:
Make /mnt/home/tmp directory. and set there as the 'Save file to' of the seamonkey or another browsers.

Large files and important files to be saved uneder /mnt/home in general.
I also have /mnt/home/my-documents directory to save my personal data.
It is clever way for saving pupsave space and for safety.

Seamonkey menu bar > Edit > Preferences > Download

You can delete the old pupsave after you have imported the data.
But if you like to keep it as a backup, you can compress it:
(On the LupQ) Right click the old pupsave file, and select gzip.

I discovered that it's important to compile programs specifically for Lucid Puppy.
I had been compiling for Lighthouse Puppy 4.43 .
I wanted mhwaveedit to launch retrovol .
Here's my method using lupq:

I made a folder in /root named 'mhwaveedit-retrovol-1.4.20'

Then I compiled at the terminal:

./configure --prefix=/usr --without-oss --with-default-mixerapp=retrovol --without-portaudio --without-sdl --without-oss --without-jack --without-check-casts

make

make install DESTDIR=/root/mhwaveedit-retrovol-1.4.20/

I removed the pet specs file and renamed desktop file to duplicate the one in Puppy.
Put in the icon path in desktop file. Then made the pet package the usual way
with the command dir2pet

Here's the pet package that works on all Lucid Puppies

You should switch to this version.
