Re: What is your experience with offline e-mail readers?

Do you store your e-mails/settings in a special way?

Does your distro matter for e-mail?

I dont keep much on the server, so my local archive is rather large. I keep both outside the savefile. works with any pup. mutt is highly configurable. claws-mail is nice too.

Re: How can i make a booteable usb

you used etcher in bionic to make your mint? you say you had to install bionic again?

mint running slower than puppy does not surprise me, neither does a slow installer in mint.

Thanks you all for your answers. I was finally able to do it with etcher.

could you tell us a bit more about what you did? Did you create mint by running etcher in puppy?

Big pup sez

Etcher has some problems getting it to work in Puppy Linux.

I thought etcher had problems making puppies?
