But mostly the hardware and software can be quite different, so advise for one won't always work for the other. Don't consider it as a faux pas (French is spoken in Kentucky?) _________________ Time savers: Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

However, the next step for the user is to establish a _stable_ Puppy system... So, the software discussion is not completely out-to-lunch... _________________ Wellminded Search Add swapfile |

I think the older RAM (most likely what the OP has) is still fairly expensive (due to rarity and lack of production). _________________ Wellminded Search Add swapfile |

[quote="RetroTechGuy]However, the next step for the user is to establish a _stable_ Puppy system... So, the software discussion is not completely out-to-lunch...[/quote]I don't agree. The discussion of the OP was requirements to run Puppy. f someone comes in about his problems of his running installation, this has nothing to do with the initial thread. _________________ Time savers: Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

The OP never got a firm answer on his question. I've run 421-retro on 366mhz, 160mb ram in less than 500mb on the hard drive for almost a year. I think it runs plenty quick. I posted here because yesterday I installed two Puppys, I thought were designed to run on old machines, on a 800mhz, 160 ram computer and neither ran acceptably, not nearly as fast as 421 on the lesser machine. I don't know a lot of things. I don't know whether my problem is user error, hardware, software or combination of those. I don't know what the minimum requirements are for any Puppy version. I do know the answer I would have given a couple of days ago is not what I would say today. Today I don't know much of anything. I do know how a newbie feels. I'm a quarter French. I don't speak French but there are people in KY that do. KY is nothing if not diverse. _________________ It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others Meddle Not In The Affairs Of Dragons For You Are Crunchy And Taste Good With Ketchup I'd rather be sailing |

Bruce B has replied quite precisely on the question. _________________ Time savers: Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu). Consult Wikka Use peppyy's puppysearch |

Wary 104, Wary 5.0s smaller brother and Classic Pup 2.14x. I'm doing some things and am more puzzled than ever. _________________ It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others Meddle Not In The Affairs Of Dragons For You Are Crunchy And Taste Good With Ketchup I'd rather be sailing |

Tangentially ...... 
What is the full name of the file? If it's something like .tgz then it's not a puppy package, so it is not automatically placed where puppy will need it. With a .tgz file, you first expand it to its uncompressed form, then move it yourself to the directory where the browser expects to find it. |
