Hello Legacy OS Users,
While the default Music Manager Amarok should serve most users needs, those wanting extra features can now install aTunes and/or Jajuk in Legacy.
While both aTunes and Jajuk will find Covers and Lyrics, Jajuk will also provide Artist Bio's. Enjoy!
Turn an old PC in to a cool modern Jukebox!

Hello Legacy OS 2 Users,
The following Apps have been added to the Repository...
Opera 12 Final
Dolphin File Manager (QT3 Version)
Oxygene Game
Please update to Opera 12 Final for an improved on line experience. I recommend leaving Opera 10 installed for those sites that require Java.
The Dolphin File Manager is only a 261kb download but adds to the user experience and is worth installing.

Hello Muggins,
I don't know if you're aware but the latest qucs is up to v0.16.
Muggins don't forget Legacy OS 2 is based on Puppy 2.14 with glibc 2.5 from Puppy 3.01
I just try and get the most compatible version for Legacy hence 0.14

John,
forum member WN2A has version 0.16
in this thread.
It definitely works, (after install of QT3 pet), in p301. Unable to confirm with legacyOS2 as my lappie no like.
The only thing I'm not sure about, with WN2A's pet, is that it has quite a few static libraries sitting in /root directory, which bulk up it's size. If it works OK 4 you, perhaps you could cull them?

Hello Muggins,
Yes 0.16 does install and works, anyone who needs QUCS and hasn't installed my 0.14 version can use 0.16.
If you have already installed 0.14 installing 0.16 and choosing it from the menu under network will start my version, sorry!
To start 0.16 navigate to /usr/local/bin and click qucs
Thanks Muggins for this link. If you know of any other app that runs in Puppy 3 and want to share please post here and I'll test. Thanks

Hello those with 16:9 ratio E-Book Readers. If like me you get annoyed by the fact that the screen ratio is wrong and should really be 4:3 to read PDF magazines install this application (Briss) to crop a bit off each side so it fits on the screen better.
You'll find the link to download at start of Post, enjoy!
Unzip the briss.tar.gz file to / as per normal.
Reload the Menu and find app under Office

Hello singlshot,
As meownplanet.com which hosts my packages has been hack currently access to my extra's in on hold. russoodle who owns meownplanet.com gratefully hosted Legacy's extra's at no charge. Out of respect I'm waiting to see if this get resolved soon. Sadly If nothing changes in the next few weeks I'll have to make other arrangements to allow access to extra's.
As most of the Extra Games that were hosted at meownplanet have found their way in to Legacy OS 2.1 Gamer anyone wanting them can simply download the iso
