Best Browser and Puppy combo for Google Docs

#1 Post by darkcity »

I've been using Puppy525 but the browsers keep crashing especially with google docs, contacts etc.

Any suggestion on which Puppy with which Browser would work well with Google Docs?

:shock:

Hi I usually use 2.14X and it comes with the latest firefox or updates to FF6.0 Beta, never had an issue with google docs using it.
Try it out http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=42553

hi, I tried 2.14Xtop8 booting from CD.

After setting up X-Org the screen goes blank and nothing happens

My system is a desktop AMD Athelon 1Gz processor with 239Mb ram

hmm that's strange it should work, never had that issue in 300 thread pages, is your cdrw/dvdrw scratched?
when I usually setup xorg I select 1024x768 24bit and select ok, My pc are AMD also. When the screen goes blank does it switch to the terminal, if it does type xwin or startx

Hi Ttuuxxx

Posting from 214X ; -)

I selected 1024x768 CRT and have booted fine.

Google docs working good so far.

Maybe there is a problem in XOrg version - as Puppy525 detects correct settings.

Much thankxxx
