Thanks for that Mike, think I'll stick with my own customised version though.

No problem...well it is of a custom job for me also...made it match what I had with slax really. Plus carried over all those save options that I made in 2.12.

The lucid is more like lucid but with tweaks and goodies.

I try Toutou 4.12 Toutou, adding driver 8192CU for wireless. i will go on this website Puppy 4.12.
My Toutou is faster than yours ! 32 bits.. oonly one Background, one icons theme, old seamonkey, but that works.. fast.
Why not give it a visit ? here we go !

Hello Nic007,

Here is the driver from darry1966's 412/421 forever site:

Thanks all. Didn't actually need the driver. Scanning for available networks needed a few tries before I got things going. The Seamonkey browser that came with 412 is ancient. Laughing

The browser browse better than elinks or Dillo. Sure to be fast, Puppy 4.12 will never be as full featured as Dpup Exprimo 5x 3.6.2.1, but Puppy was for giving the most it could, paying attention to be able to run in RAM.
Going outside and listen music in your garden (or computing) gives it a second youth.

Ally, i use 8192CU shown in your message. It's the more common. But driver depends on the dongle you bought.
Newest Puppies on old computer (laptops) are never a clever choice.. Like a Turbo reactor on old airplane something wrong will happen Smile

That is a detail, discover again our old Puppies on Websites dedicated is a nice idea. here in the forum we are zapping between versions, i wonder if somebody has time to use them..
N'oubliez pas les Toutous, french remakes with a little touch of haute couture.

What Browser are you using Pelo works fine in FF 38.5.2ESR???

My 4.12 is Toutou Linux with seamonkey 1111
I will check, Toutou 4.12 is multibooted.. Five minutes of waiting.
A delay is asked, my Toutou 4.12 is not on this pendrive .
medor wrote translation : on old computer , to be able to access internet, only old puppies can do it, newer are to big. Medor uses 2.17 version. I use 4.12, with a dongle, with the Seamonkey dated 2009.
this video is done with a Puppy 4.1.2 XVidcap, gxine, and avidemux used.. and Homebank.

Seamonkey 1.1.11 is the browser in Toutou 4.1.2 (puppy remasterised). I let it as default. I took a glance at browsers available in 4.1.2 website. I alrealdy hold them in my tool case, if ever Seamonkey would be not enough to surf on the Web.
