Have been using Foxit in Wxxxxx for awhile. Quick and lite. Any chance it will work on 3.xx series without a lot of work?

ICE shutdown

Thanks for the comeback. Sorry to take so long but I had to work on my truck,(don't run forever without service. Turning Conky off didn't seem to help. Also if I switch back to jwm from ICE to problem is still there. It seems like the ICE shutdown hijacked the one that was working in jwm. As ...

rtl8187

This is a known problem in linux in general. Tempestious has been working on it, but until something is done at kernel level, we have to live with patches or ndis. I know it is now more of a problem than before because the rtl 8187 driver is supported, but not the rtl8187b hope there will be a time ...

3.10mi-m2 Clock

Just a question--has anyone figured out how to fix the clock. It works in the 2.xx series and the 4.xx series (as far as I know) , but there was never enough time spent on the 3.xx series 9truly a shame as it had and has great potential. Thanks

3.02CE

Glad to see things progressing. One of the problems with Puppy is the wealth of ideas being developed. Your 3.02 was one of the first serious attempts to make Puppy compatable wiht other distros. 4.xx took it into new heights of basically Puppy programs. Now Barry is working on the "Woof" series ...
