New to this OS. After a couple of failed Skype install attempts, was wondering which version and download site I should go to for the best chance of success?
Thanks!
How to install Skype in Puppeee?
You can try this. I also posted a build script somewhere, but there's a number of versions posted if you search.chfisa wrote:Hmm.... Thanks!
I guess I belong in the How-to forum then. I didn't have much luck decompressing their file to the root.

decompress with: "tar -xvjf package"

If you would like to try an SFS package of Skype have a look at this thread:

However, please note that it has not been tested on Pupeee. There is a list of Puppy variants it definitely works on.

Success with the sfs version you steered me to. Not sure how it all happened, though... I downloaded the file. Couldn't find it in bootmanager, so did a little file exploration and found a Skype folder under mnt/home with what appeared to be a run icon in it. I dragged the icon to the desktop and it opens up Skype successfully.
