thanks mike,

that's quite all right.
i feel a lot better about
'abandoning the good ship, vivaldi'
when i see that list of requisites
ending, it still will not work.

i used vivaldi a few years ago,
can't recall whether linux or windblows,
excellent browser but another suited me better.

i'll craft ...

tried another route as i was keen to get to my email.
used seamonkey 2.48 as outlined by musher in another
thread in 2018. too tired to provide details but will later.
it is working now. big cheers, mm

thanks tallboy,

i right-clicked on the folder vivaldi portable
chose permissions, chose make executable,
chose recursive. repeated the process with the
contents of the folder: vivaldi, launch, update pepperflash,
just in case the word recursive was on holiday.

dragged launch to desktop. nothing ...

thanks, tired pup,
yr quite right, 'install' is misleading.
i get to the directory containing:
sub-directory vivaldi, LAUNCH, update pepper flash.
i open a terminal there--bash:vivaldi: command not found
i try terminal inside the sub-directory vivaldi. same result.
uncheers, mm

hi folks,
thanks for the link to vivaldi 32-bit, mike.

''Google Drive can't scan this file for viruses.

Opera-portable.tar.gz (107M) is too large for Google to scan for viruses.
Would you still like to download this file?''

is this relevant?

hi all,

hello,

for several months, 'acpitool -s' entered in console
has worked fine to put precise puppy 5.7.1 to sleep.
but the last two days it has woken back up immediately
without any action on my part. pressing the power button
is how it wakes usually.

precise pup is running off a multisession dvd-rw ...

hi musher,
thanks for the reply.
i used desktop > jwm to put taskbar at top.
it worked, as it has done before and no doubt will again.
perhaps i was unclear at the beginning:
i was not having a problem with xload.
i was and am curious about why xload
was displaying such a level of activity
