Hi, Firstly let me say thanks to the creator of Puppy. I have tried a few other linux flavours without success but Puppy was the first one that I got working.
However, I now am having problems after upgrading to 2.14 from 2.13.
When I go into the Petget program it loses all the addons I had loaded. (They still work but do not appear in right hand pane). When I press Ok, the Petget program asks to confirm removal of programs but only lists the following: "
(yes, just the quote marks) If I don't abort it hangs and I have to restart down the xserver.
Now between reboots I have also lost the ethernet settings and had to reload the ethernet driver.
Also funny things are happening in the menu but I think that is unrelated as someone else posted on that but failed to get a reply. The Icons in Utility and Fun are magnified and fuzzy. The other sections appear ok.
I have a frugal install on a USB hard disk as my main hard disk with WindowsXP has failed. My save file is 1.2gb so plenty of space there 90% free. Perhaps I went too large?
Any advice would be appreciated since if Puppy goes down I will be left with only Dos as I lost my Windows disks.
Thanks
Upgraded 2.13 to 2.14, strange things happened
