I have experience with some newer version of Claws-mail (in Debian) and I`m a bit dissappointed. Since 3.14 or so the fancy plugin stopped working and Claws cannot render HTML messages. Thus I`m staying with 3.11 if possible. The problem with fancy plugin seems to be general however. Dilo is ...

It works with current kernel. Thanks

Is there a chance that I can just install kernel packages from Slackware or Salix14.0 into 13.1, and add them to lilo? Or will it be a waste of time?

I know it is fixed with latest releases. What about older ones like 13.1?

14.1 kernel 3.10.103 (it seems vulnerable but the system crashes after vulnerability test ...

preferences/search/add more search engines (at the bottom of the page)

The engines are downloaded into the user`s directory:
/home/_user_name_/.mozilla/firefox/_profile_name_/searchplugins/

Hello,

Is there a chance that slapt-get ignore newer versions of packages installed than those from official repo when making upgrade ?

I mean: I have manually upgraded zlib to latest version on older Salix release and when making slapt-get upgrade, the tool wants to downgrade zlib to the lower ...

I'm not sure what's exactly wrong and multiple instances of caja are spawned when caja is launched outside of mate, but it is a known problem, one that the mate devs have not fixed for some time now, probably because it's not that important to them. They are always launching caja from within mate ...
