Next step is to start the GParted in menu (menu/system/Gparted partition manager). When Gparted has scanned your drives click at the unal ...

Hi Béèm Sorry for the delay of my answer, but I’d had some homework to do (window cleaning, not windoze). :D It seems that I have come to a dead end in this issue. I’d uninstalled Opera to see if seamonkey would work in the preview but nada. So simply I got to do my web work in WindowsXP for the pres ...

Thank's Bruce and Béèm.
I'd tried the way you described, but not working. It might be something in Kompozer itself.

Edit: Could it be in the /usr/local/bin/mozstart the changes should be made? If so, how?

Well, you can try with different load options e.g. puppy pfix=ram or another distro. I use Dingo4 and it's working perfectly.

Thank's Béèm for the reply, but how do I select the default browser in Puppy? I have two browsers Seamonkey and Opera. Opera is my favorite.

KompoZer

Hi friends This issue is for ttuuxxx. I downloaded the Kompozer.pet and it seems to working OK, but when I try to use the browser preview it doesn't respond at all, not in the toolbar or the menu (f5). I was very glad when I saw the kompozer pet because I'm used to use this program but it's quite ...

I have spent several hours reading posts sent by new Puppy users, some of them describes their problems like this: "Why is it so §@%# hard to do this with Linux, in Windows it's yeast working". Or "everything in W is easier". Attitudes like these shows lack of fantasy. Everything around to days ...
