I read your post and did research on e100 and firmware but have not found the three .bin files needed except in a large Debian collection of non-free firmware. Is there some site that provides individual firmware files? Do I simply copy them to ..../e100/?

Rite-Aid lets me start to schedule but at the address line it will not accept my street number (with Pale Moon 29.4.1), nor can I use Backspace to delete (I am forced to use the touchpad and replace everything I typed). What current browser works better with Bionic32 Puppy?

pale moon 24.9.1 does not appear to work at the sign-up page. Nothing happens when I type.

It also does not work to sign up for booster shots at Rite-Aid (cannot enter numbers, then crashes) or Kroger (gets stuck chasing its tail).

I may try android to sign up.

I installed the full perl-base and then also perl 5_32 with ppm and now it no longer asks for If.pm (which I had installed already) or Readline.pm but it wants Functions.pm. Install File::Spec::Functions.
This is in FocalPup32, which had perl 5_30. I updated PPM database first.
