Problem to upgrade Firefox from 1.5 to 2.0 on Puppy 1.07
Some time ago, I used GuestToo's installer pup to put Firefox 1.5 on Puppy 1.07. When I attempted to update to Firefox 2.0 using the pup file on the Wiki (I assume this is meant for Puppy 2.x) a big mess ensues. The two versions of Firefox are in different directories and fight with one another. How ...

Please refer to this thread. Several users of the forum (including me) have gotten their printers to work using these instructions. But be prepared to work a bit... the thread is 10 pages long!

CUPS won't communicate with network printer
Using info from the CUPS printing thread in the Cutting Edge forum I finally have the ability to print from Puppy (Yay!). I was succesful in getting a Canon BJ20 to work on the parallel port. (with CUPS, ghostscript, a driver from LinuxPrinting.org and foomatic filters, whew!) However, I have not ...

Startup / Shutdown Annoyances - Hard Drive Install
I have Puppy 1.07 installed on a hard disk and boot using an Option 1 Floppy. Startup problem: When booting, about half the time it loads vmlinuz OK then chokes about halfway through loading image.gz. The computer then reboots, usually once or twice until it 'catches' and image.gz is loaded OK. What ...

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I was not able to apply the plugins to Abiword that Mu suggested. Get a "failed to load/install" message. I guess I will take y'all's advice and take a look at OpenOffice for dealing with my WordPerfect files. I must admit, though, that as Raman has pointed out ...

Install WordPerfect for Unix in Puppy?
I am new to Linux and am very impressed with Puppy! On the first day I realized that I could do about 80% of what I need to do with Puppy rather than Windows (YAY!). I would love to include the other 20% as well. A lot of that last 20% involves using a large number of Wordperfect documents (I've ...
