How to install Skype in Puppy?

#1 Post by elraven »

hi gang been a long time . :D

I'm getting a dell optiplex 745 2.8ghz desktop , 2gigs memory , 80 gig hard drive. I figure just about any puppy will run on it but have 2 small (needs). I'm an admin on a movie site so I of course need flash. But i also need skype. I've tried in the past with no success. Anyione got ideas which puppy to use an has been successful in running skype. Any peace guys an thanks again.

I use mainly puppy slacko and have skype running no problem, also is puppy 4.31 and puppeee1.0

if you've had problems in the past it's probably using .pet from the wrong system

Maybe you could try Simplicity 14, It has skype pre installed and works well on movie sites.

I also run puppy precise 5.7.1(retro) and skype -4.2.0.11.sfs it works well on my pc.

Find the sfs here
