Run live CD with newer versions of apps

#1 Post by gerry »

Reading how to install Seamonkey 1.1.4 in place of 1.0.8- can I do it if I run Puppy from the live CD? There will be the original one on the CD, and a new one initially I suppose in RAM, but then in pup_save. Could I then get Puppy to ignore the CD version and run the later one?

DVD drive is read-only, so I can't re-master the CD.

It's Puppy 2.17.1, but I don't think that matters, does it?

It should just overwrite the older seamonkey. Files that are in the livecd then overwriten get copied to the pupsave and the pupsave version is used in the future

Concepts of Infinity

Even if I were infinitely close to Infinite Perfection, I'd BE infinitely far from It, for such is Its nature.

I have said: Things would be Infinitely Simple for an Infinitely Powerful Being.

They left me, child that I AM, thinking I was a nut for saying such things. I may BE, but it makes sense to ME even if not to others.
