Hi, Arguser.
How was that with swapfile???
I succeeded in creating a 1Gb swap partition on the unallocated 3rd partition of my pendrive. It is being used infrequently, only when RAM becomes totally occupied (which does happen if I have more than one or two browser windows open to youtube).
OTOH, I doubt it does anything to speed up the computer (still running Carolite-1.2, now with Firefox 38.0.5). I am trying all sorts of other things to increase speed, like reducing caches and keeping personal files out of the boot partition.
Carolite is still slow relative to Puppeee and Akita, but manageable. When I feel I have done all I can and Carolite is usable and stable, I will begin exploring ways to make Akita useful to me.
Thanks for the URL. These portable apps are one of the things I intend to try, in both Carolite and Akita. However, I have been told that, as regards Carolite, adding them now will not reduce the size of my save file even if I delete the old apps. I don't really understand why this would be so.
BTW, I don't see any google-chrome on that webpage. The only portable there that could interest me is Firefox, but it doesn't give the FF version number.
I did find a google-chrome portable on
http://shinobar.server-on.net/puppy/opt ... eSFS/pup5/. Is this the one you meant?
There are also Opera portables on that page of the repo, but, once again, they do not say which version of Opera they are based on. I won't download and install large files like these just to find out what version they are.
Shinobar's repo is extremely confusing to me. Not only are app version numbers missing, but I see no indication of why certain files are in certain folders.
Can you explain any of this?
Would be good to put last version of some packets like pburn, will try to do it.
Do you mean in the Akita repo?
