I've never really been a fan of 'live-update', which pupget actually is. When you have more than one PC to update, I've usually found it easier to just download the update and apply it locally. A side benefit is that you have an archive copy handy should you need to use it again later.Lobster wrote:eh?
Why not use pupget? Are you using a very early version of Puppy without pupget? Just curious
As I have a slow dialup, I can think of better ways of spending connection time (and money ) than having to run 'live-update' over and over again, especially when many megabytes are involved, although that doesn't usually apply to Puppy
Thanks for the dotpup G2 and BarryK for restoring wmpower . I'm looking forward to testing it.
Update:
After booting Puppy 1.0.5RC on my Dell Inspiron 510m (pressed return, ie option 1), I installed G2's new wmpower.pup, ran it in rxvt and got:
# wmpower
Welcome to wmpower version 0.3.1...
No power management subsystem detected
wmpower: No power management support...
Hmmm...what's this? Kanotix has no problem activating APCI on this laptop.
Am I forgetting something or doing something wrong?
BTW, checked the wmpower homepage - latest version is 0.4.2
