Re: How to transfer files from PC to PC wirelessly ?
mikeslr / wizard :- TBH, guys, if that was me I wouldn't bother with all that farting-around with wireless. I'd just run an Ethernet cable down into the basement & call it a done job! Way more stable, too... :) Probably the easiest way of doing this - I can never remember what they're called - ...

Re: How start new Palemoon instead of preinstalled version ?
rolandradio :- Where are you getting the Pale Moon SFS package from? It's entirely possible the SFS package has a sym-link for Pale Moon in /usr/bin.......and a sym-link cannot overwrite a regular file. So the original file will always take precedence, and if you haven't removed the built-in versio...

Re: dukto64 AppImage
Okey-dokey, guys. In response to Mike's first post about the newer port of Dukto, I've tracked down the Launchpad repo of the Qt5 developer, and downloaded the Ubuntu 20.04 build. This is 64-bit ONLY; the new developer hasn't provided any 32-bit Linux builds, I'm afraid. This being the Fossapup64 9....
