sorry to say, but this latest puppy is the first since 4.3.1 which does not boot in gecko surfboard - stalls with kernel panic.....
The latest Wary, in contrast, works great.

edubook and wary 5.1.2

Barry K, in his blog, was asking about mplayer and the edubook. With the latest Wary everything works out of the box, i.e. sound, geany, seamonkey etc with the exception of mplayer. Rather than messing around I installed VLC or Xine and had no more problems - can play all mutimedia. Puppy is the bes...

pmusic, mplayer not working with quirky1.4 - was ok with 1.3

I have a gecko-surfboard where the puppies are running well with the exception of the latest quirky. Concerning sound I get woof-woof when booting from CD, but pmusic does not play mp3-files or streams and mplayer does not even open when the desktop icon is clicked. All these are ok with e.g. wary 0...

actually, when looking at a new distro, usually first thing is to check installing to usb-harddisk, since there is virtually unlimited space to play. To my knowledge nowadays all major linux versions have this feature implemented OOTB, but I still remember that in the early days of knoppix you also ...

I have been using DVD-RAM for any distro I tried during the last months- Puppy works well, too, boots from and saves without any problem to this kind of rewritable disk
- of course DVD-RAM must be supported by your DVD-writer

wlan with ath chipset not working with new puppy

as opposed to puppy 4.0 my D-Link-wlan-card with an atheros chip is not working in puppy 4.1 - but using the "retro"-version it does work. Why?

on a msi-laptop with Intersil 2.5-wavelan chipset neither version of puppy 4.1 is working
