I am triple-booting TinyCore, Puppy and Vector off an old TTX laptop from 2000. What the heck is a TTX, anyways? :shock: It has a P3 processor and 118 MB RAM. Internet connection was a snap, with automatic recognition of high-speed DSL. I am still a total noob at all of this, but everything seems to ...

Say, is there a rather straight-forward way to just disable Flash from ever loading on a webpage in SeaMonkey? That might solve some of my most immediate issues, and prevent my frustration with Adobe from growing even vaster? :D Or do I just have to uninstall Flash?

Yes, Ubuntu was the first distro that I tried to install. It installed all the way then hung. I knew beforehand that the processor and RAM were insufficient.

I just had the exact same error message, and my desktop icons were all gone as well as my screensaver. The partition icons were all there still, although they were all layered on top of one another. I had done a forced shutdown the previous boot because of a hangin flash file, but the time right ...

Thanks for the explanation of some of the issues I am encountering in the new-found Linux world. I think I can safely say that I can do without the gmail incoming mail audio notification. I am not prepared at this late hour to start playing with extensions that I may or may not be able to ...

Thanks

Thnak you, but I had heard that Firefox is a bit slower than SeaMonkey, so I had wanted to stay with SeaMonkey.

Do you know if the pet that you built will accept Firefox add-ons/extensions?

How to use Gmail Notifier with Audio for Incoming?

Well , I love Puppy! I've spent since Friday night rebuilding an ancient laptop with three Linux distros, and Puppy is by far the best in terms of speed, stability and features. That said, I have been hitting different sites for a few hours now (and to no avail). I am trying to find a tiny ...
