Re: How to transfer files on LAN?

I have tried a couple of methods on my LAN including Samba, but ended up using PureFTPd on the server puppy, and gFTP on the client puppy. Works every time, quick to set up, and available on most puppies OOTB. gFTP has the advantage of allowing the client to navigate through the file structure of ei...

Re: Unable to connect to bluetooth speaker on Bionic64

I struggled connect both my devices (headphones) and found using Jankys Bluetooth onerous. However, I have been using DPupBuster64 with either JWM or Mate Desktop for the last few weeks. Both run bluetooth quite well, and there is a more simple setup procedure which is very reliable. Having Pulseaud...

Re: irfanview as system default image viewer using 32-bit wine

I tried this package some time ago and found it a great way to get a great Windows app installed and running without hassles. A great idea, and thanks for the extra links to plugins etc. I also found that I could run other windows programs under the wine version provided, which was a bonus. However,...

Re: Boot Puppy directly from .iso without making a DVD, Frugal or Full install

I tried SuperGrub2 but it did not satisfy my requirement for use with persons new to Linux/Puppy Linux. Stickpup/Frugal are VERY good, but it is not exactly what I am looking for.

So I am keen to try anything which is easy to use and safe. Thanks in advance, Smokey01.

Re: is Vivaldi. is good

I use Vivaldi for gmail. Runs as a sfs. Loads emails FAST. It leaves other browsers I have tried in the dust, and I find it absolutely indispensable for using gmail on older, slower machines. OK, everything needs to be saved as a spot download, but thats a small inconvenience. Mind, I also use Palem...
