Success here !

2.14 has been working like a charm for me, and this on a PC that used to be totally hostile to 1.0x Puppies (SATA hard disk, DVD burner in hda, VIA audio card and so on). The previous versions always gave me some reason to go back to Windows after a while, but this one seems to be a keeper - these d...

I installed Opera 9.10 in Puppy 1.08. I had to install QT and libstdc++.so.6, then it worked like a charm. The errors about libjvm.so and libawt.so seem to be java related. I suppose they will go away once I get around to install Java, anyway only pages with java applets should be affected. I didn't...
