If you run into trouble, the first place to look is the very active Puppy forum. Chances are that someone else has already solved whatever needs solving and will either have posted instructions of what to do, or they've issued an add-on for Puppy - what they call a "pet" file (in true tradition of Puppy, "PET" stands for "Puppy's Extra Treats". :lol: ).

Downloaded latest Super Ubuntu (Super OS as it's now known) and playing around with this.

Not wanting to fall behind, I'm downloading Puppy to give this a go :)

Just booted into Puppy on the laptop for the first time.....using a CD to see how it goes. Not got the USB stick working myself yet though.

Managed to configure the wireless internet on the laptop, DSF showing in Seamonkey now!
