Oh well, then I guess I will stay with what I have until the support of FF is dropped completely on the websites; and\or use the recent version of Puppy or AntiX and to change its kernels somehow. Probably, I had to mention it the initial post - all I need is: 1) Fast distro to use on a very old ...

I installed PPM V2, so it looks identical. The only issue here is that there are no repositories as in your screenshot. And it seems a bit challenging for me to add them via PPM (surprisingly, I find it easier to do via a console, but commands that worked in other distros don't work in Puppy ...

Thanks everyone. I did what you suggested: downloaded the archive, extracted, opened the folder and opened the terminal in it (yes, right click -> Windows -> Terminal Here). I executed: ./firefox --ProfileManager but it gives me this: ./firefox: error while loading shared libraries: libatomic.so.1 ...

UPD: So, basically I had two decent solutions: one from bigpup - to make a frugal installation of the recent Puppy and change the kernel, and one from Mike Walsh - to install Puppy Racy 5.5 and get some cool updates, gathered by tuxtoo ( https://racypup.netlify.app/ ).

Sound in Asus W2U00VC laptop only works in older Puppies

Hello everyone, So, I have to revive an old laptop for my parents - Asus W2U00VC. Apparently, Linux was the only solution. I tried different distros, but Puppy (BionicPup32 8.0) was the fastest.
