Most probably planting for spam, Mike.

I don't know if I have shared this before, or if you all already know this, but this tool can help you to download files from Google Drive directly if it is shared properly as the @fredx181's instructions.

On a side note, x86 emulation on ARM is painfully slow. Same way as emulating ARM on x86 is slow. In other words, emulation is always slow, except the CPU is designed from the ground-up to support such emulation. I remember FD having ARMv6/7 versions It was fun while it last.

Re: DistroWatch needs a newer Puppy version listed for Puppy Linux!!!!!

Puppy's unique value comes from its layered structure (and the various persistency modes), the copy-to-RAM thing and preinstalled applications. This :thumbup: I couldn't say it better. Common folks don't use operating systems. They use __applications__ that runs on top of the operating system, e.g....

Re: Midori Browser with Gecko

The issue seems to be that the newer midori fails to download the needed DRM plugins. If you've previously used the older midori, those plugins have already been downloaded and they would continue to work with the newer midori. So I agree with fredx181 , I think using a copy of a "backup" ...

following specific rules IIRC, the only rule is that it has to be built using Woof-CE. There is nothing saying it can't be modified / customised afterwards.
