Still readying PET for Firefox 3, I hope?!

Can someone provide a PET for Firefox 3 (not just an SFS) that fixes the dependency error issues? I am not technical and can not do this. A PET installation for Firefox 3 seems easier for beginners like me and others and I believe would be greatly appreciated by many. Thanks for any update informati...

Is someone doing a Firefox Official Release 3 PET for Puppy 4? I've been using a PET based on Firefox 3 Beta 5--which updated fine to Release Candidate 2--but it installed with messages about a lot of missing dependencies. Info on it is here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=27521&am...

Thanks yet again.

I think I understand most of this, will be trying it shortly, and will get back to you.

Hopefully I can then post my how-to with an up-to-date Firefox 3 PET that hopefully someone will make up shortly.

How do I get Puppy to run entirely in RAM with pup_save.3fs

I am currently running Puppy 2.14 from disk (using PUP4DOS with FAT32 file system & pup_save.3fs); alternately, I'm testing Puppy 4.0 from CD (using PFIX=RAM so Puppy entirely in RAM): 1) What do I need to do to make sure all my Puppy applications and libraries load from and run entirely in RAM?...

Icons; 4 alpha vs 3.01 Questions; opinions

Looks like I'm in the minority, but I LIKE the icons. I think the symbols are very good. The flat icons differentiate Puppy; could be the new cool. Question 1: can someone clarify the differences between 4 alpha & 3.01? Does 4 alpha have Slackware compatibility and all additions of 3.01 except a...
