Re: Time Zone Trouble

npierce,

Thank you very much! It was fixed!

I don't know what I had done in May 4, 2013.
As for the Tokyo file. I saved it but I cannot read that and this forum denies uploading of it.

Anyway, I'm happy now. Thank you, again!

I had the same problem with Slacko 5.5 and the /America/New_York ...

Still true, but I discovered that Flash 11.1.102.63 works.

Hello,

I've been using an old Dell laptop (CPxJ, PIII, 650MHz, 512MB RAM) in my basement as an audio streamer. I can stream some radio stations using VLC, but others have Web only interfaces that require Flash.

Until recently, I've been letting both Firefox and Flash update willy-nilly. Firefox 11 ...

Re: Hypothetical Situation Paranoia

I've been using Puppy for several years now and never found a virus on my Puppy Linux frugal install. [snip]

So having withstood the test of time Puppy Linux seems pretty bullet proof to me, even though we run as root.

Not bullet proof. Just never attacked.

Re: Flashplayer 10.3 r181

Flashplayer 10.3 r 181 is packaged differently than usual ... The pet is 12MB!!!
You can get the pet down to ~5MB if you prune the contents down to:

/usr/bin/flash-player-properties
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/usr/share/applications/flash-player-properties.desktop
/usr/share/icons ...

I wish to confirm that the v1.4 version of the WUA2340 WinXP_2K driver works with ndiswrapper under Puppy 4.3.1. [Kernel: Linux 2.6.30.5 (i686)]

Firefox 3.6.4 Update Freezes System -- Lucid Puppy 5.0.1

Hello,

I updated Firefox 3.6.3 on my Lucid Puppy 5.0.1 box to 3.6.4 using Firefox's built-in update feature. After doing so, the system froze on a few occasions while using Firefox. Uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling Firefox 3.6.3 via quickpet eliminated the freeze-ups.

Anyone else have this ...

Puppy on a Dell CPx J650GT

Hi,

PL 4.3.1 on a Dell CPx J650GT laptop.

CPU: PIII, 650MHz; RAM: 512MB, 100MHz

Dual boot w/Win98, incl. swap file. Used GParted from LiveCD to create partions.

I use the laptop to plug into my T-Bird with Open Source Win98 ODB-II programs. Since PL works so well, I'll have to try Linux ODB-II ...
