SoftMaker maybe?

Have a look at this thread. I am not aware whether SoftMaker 2008 will open .docx though, perhaps you need to invest into an upgrade to SoftMaker 2010 or use an "odf converter" in addition to SoftMaker 2008.

Maybe you'd need to get in touch with somebody in the "Puppy Derivatives"
subforum - plenty of expertise around there.

MD5

Guys, which MD5 is correct? The one from here http://puppylinux.org/wikka/LucidPuppy (f81e3d4743de4a98af33424e6f8f3c53) or the one given further up in this thread (e85a6b08e52c551871c84daefa9f8695)?

Anyway, looking forward to the Puppy 5 experience ... it will be good I'm sure!

buford,

'fromiso' would be similar to frugal (like puppyluvr said, different names, essentially the same thing). I've tried it myself with antiX but it should also work for a few others.

Dingo, THANK YOU for OO 3.2 :D Using your sfs with the "Puppies 4.3.1" puplet which was derived off Puppy 4.3. It was necessary to rename the sfs "_431" >> "_430", otherwise the sfs loader wouldn't see it. That sorted out, it was flying (still up in the air). Great job, thanks again! JR PS - Desktop ...

gphoto2 -P
Depending on your Puppy version, gphoto2 is preinstalled.
According to http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/proj/libg ... upport.php
the A480 is supported. I can't try it as I have no A480. Anyway hope it helps.
