Re: How to update Fossapup to a later version?
If the older version is a frugal install and you made a save.
Do a completely new frugal install of Fossapup64 9.5.
Copy the old save file/folder into the frugal install.
Boot this install and it should update and use the old save and what is in the save.
Note:
Using the old save of the same named Puppy version in a newer version of that same named Puppy, usually works OK.
But if the changes from the older version, are too much, it may not work 100%.
If the old version is a full install.
You will have to just make a new full install of the Fossapup64 9.5 and start over fresh.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected
