wrote: OK, live and learn. Repost since my first post got lost when Firefox unexpectedly disappeared from my Linux screen. But not blaming Linux (Damn Small Linux) since I have a Pentium II with 1 GB (!) hd and a few sticks of RAM. Can't expect much. I am using Puppy Linux 4.3.1 on a Compaq Armada 1700 laptop. Dual boot with w2k. It has a 233 PII,160mb ram,4gb drive(3gb/1gb partitions). I used DSL before on it but puppy is much better-you should check it out. There are a lot more updated apps available for it than DSL. -- Virus Removal Instructions http://sites.google.com/site/keepingwindowsclean/home Max's Favorite Freeware http://sites.google.com/site/keeping...clean/freeware I'm Max Wachtel and I approve this message.

Is this version made for older machines, or can I download the latest Puppy distro? RL |

The only problem I had with 431 was that I had to configure the sound manually. Seems that the older versions detect the old hardware better. BTW-I just installed firefox 3.5.6 but it is a llitle slow. Opera 10.10 works great. -- Virus Removal Instructions http://sites.google.com/site/keepingwindowsclean/home Max's Favorite Freeware http://sites.google.com/site/keeping...clean/freeware I'm Max Wachtel and I approve this message.
