@Jasper
Yes,FP96 has Asunder.
I will start exploring both the Asunder on FP96 and your updated build, Asunder 3.0.1.
Thank you,

Hi Puppy music lovers, I am completely new to understanding how to use music files. Is it possible to copy one track (Unknown Artist 01 cdrom#1) then easily send that piece of music via email to someone? The machine is: HP Slimline Desktop PC 270-p0xx The distro is: fossapup64 9.6 (x86_64) Thank you...

@OscarTalks
@norgo

Maybe try opening Deadbeef first and click File>Add audio CD

Thank you, OscarTalks, that solved it!

Thank you, @bigpup

So, the answer is... "if it ain't broke, then don't fix it!". OK, you talked me into it.

PS - yes, the HD has only personal data files on it.

Hi Puppers, The machine has 4GB of RAM. The distro is mounted frugally on a flash drive. I'm thinking a 4GB of SWAP might enhance the performance? Perhaps not? If a swap file might make Fossapup a bit snazzier, then which drive (ed) is best suited for a swap file? Note: The Hard Drive (sda2) has 5GB...

Perfect! @MochiMoppel
Thank you!
The app auto ticked the UTF-8 encoding box. Is this ok?

ozsouth I found a whole series of drivers for the HP OfficeJet 4650 series in the modification window. I tried "HP Officejet 4650 Series, hpcups 3.18.6 thinking that is the number of the hplip that worked when the printer was working. Filter Failed9.png @Sky Aisling - oh dear. Looks like more ...

@ozsouth

I rebooted before trying an Abiword print.

@ozsouth
No laserjet 4?

@Sky Aisling - no need for another printer - if you go over the printer setup (via the Printer Wizard in the Main/Setup menu) again, and when Cups screen appears, Click Printers, then click on your printer's name, then Administration, then Modify Printer, then choose HP Laserjet 4 as the driver, yo...

ozsouth So, I am confused. Does this mean I have to buy another printer? Or, can I do something to correct the hplip software? What should I be doing to correct this situation? I hesitate to complicate this thread any further but perhaps this will help: here is the thread from last week that solved...

Could fossadpup(64) be missing library files like libhpip.so.O and libhpmud.so.O?

mikewalsh and all Ok, here's the scoop on what happened concerning the reduction of Firefox cache in Fossadog(64) 9.6 as of 8-10-23. I decided to remove Firefox 115.0.2 and re-install Firefox 115.0.2 and try Mike's method again. I updated Puppy Package Manager libraries then did a new install of Fi...

mikewalsh EDIT Mike and all...Please ignore this post. I think I got it figured out. ;) See next post.

The transfer of /root/.mozilla and /root/.moonchild productio...

mikewalsh Thank you, Mike. You've validated my intuition. The flash drive is a 3.0 drive. The machine has 2.0 and 3.0 USB ports. The hard drive is a mechanical sata. I left a bit of space (5GBs) at the head of the sata drive. I had intended to mount the Fossapup(64) 9.6 there but on second thought ...
