I've been building a bootable Puppy (1.0.8) system on a USB key. I let Puppy do the build for me, creating a default-sized pup100 file for my files. First time round, I created an unencrypted pup100.

It boots the Puppy 2.0 alpha (though slowly) from an installation created by the new universal installer. Haven't tried 1.0.8 on it yet. Th...

In my Windoze installation, Skype has better audio quality than Gizmo, but skyping out to the POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) is half duplex. Yuk. Gizmo works correctly there. And Gizmo'...
