Re: Portable Apps
@DeeMal :- Well, have an explore, and see what ya think. Most are 64-bit; some have 32-bit versions - it'll say where they're available in the specific threads - and don't forget; the script for adding a menu entry is not compulsory, just an added 'extra'.....many people will always just use the ...

Re: Portable Apps
Great stuff Mike!
I think portability, as you explained to me & the community, is a great addition to this fantastic program. I look forward to this journey, sharing it with others, and supporting it in many ways.
Best regards.

Re: Darkside of the Pale Moon
While I agree that the newest versions are not always the best even if they address security concerns, I will always download them even if they cause issues in the short term. Of course, if I know beforehand that that particular download could call issues, I will wait before I do.

@DeeMal :- I think what I'd best do is to start another topic with a complete listing of all the 'portable'' Puppy app threads I've started, since they're scattered all round the "Additional Software" sub-forum.

Re: Darkside of the Pale Moon
I always manually remove the builtin, old Pale Moon that comes with the distribution and then download the new tarball from the official site (which I re-pack as an sfs-addon). Have always done that. I don't update anything. Haven't had any problems ever. I like the advice except for the non ...

Re: Darkside of the Pale Moon

Re: Darkside of the Pale Moon
If you still want Chrome, best bet is the website . The Browsers tab in Quickpet will take you to it. I use Chromium. This is how I initially installed it. Sigh. Opera installed with no issues. I am not really interested in Firefox since after Opera it is number 3 of the browsers I like most.

Re: Unable to watch DVD movies after installing BionicPup64 on flash drive
This issue is resolved! I am able to watch DVD movies through VLC. While it does not automatically load and is not as elegant, I am not that fussy. I just choose the correct mounting device which is wrong by default for some reason. Who knew?
Thanks to everyone!

Re: Darkside of the Palemoon
No problem in taking your suggestion but are we saying here that because the directory exists, it could mean that the program has somehow disappeared during the update? Because we know for sure that Pale Monn existed before the update and the directory still exist now.

If you're not too committed you might like Fossa. I use Xenial but skip Bionic for Fossa when I need a newer distro. I think I read you're too committed, but you might be at the stage where you have to choose your headache. ( Starting over is never a headache for me, just a big time sink. ) Fair ...
