Further adventures with Puppy Linux

Upgraded my Puppy Linux box from 4.1.2 to 4.2 ("Deep Thought") yesterday.

Time to upgrade: About half an hour, including downloading the ISO, burning it to a CD, rebooting from that CD, and letting Puppy update the existing installation. No muss, no fuss, no problems, no panic attack situations.

Flawless victory!

[Note: The first time I had occasion to open a Microsoft Word file in Puppy 4.2 (using AbiWord), it didn't display well. My first assumption was that the file was corrupted, but then I found this at the Puppy Linux site ... a one minute fix and bam, works perfectly!]
