This is the 'standard' Puppy, version 4.1beta with 2.6.25.16 kernel. Updated release notes are in the live-CD. Get it from here:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/test/puppy-4.1-beta/

Note, due to the roll-back of ffmpeg and xine-lib, the devx_408.sfs is different from devx_407.sfs.

If you have tested 4.1retro-beta, beware that Puppy will have copied pup_408.sfs to the hard drive (even if you declined when asked about that at shutdown), so you have to delete that file first -- otherwise you'll get a kernel panic.

nic2109 has directed our attention to this site in search of possible 4.1 backgrounds. There's plenty of high quality stuff here.

For any problems with the Network Wizard, kindly post to Dougal's forum thread here:

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=31522

Supply as much information as possible. We especially need to know if your network interface did work on an earlier Puppy. What driver is loading, what choices are you getting in the Wizard, what error messages.

You might also want to look in /tmp/bootsysinit.log and /var/log/messages -- see if there is any error message that might be appropriate.

Pburn locks up when trying to burn an audio CD. I have to control-alt-delete to reset.
I have one usb optical dvd drive for reading and burning, Set-up drives only shows cdrom reader (dev/sro) and default burner (/dev/sro). When dvd reader is chosen (/dev/sro) it is not retained after the wizard is closed.

I did not have this problem with alpha 6 & 7.

Pmusic seems to want to continue playing after shutting it down.

I don't know what info would be needed to trouble shoot these issues.

All other aspects of beta1 seem to be working.

Full install on a freshly formatted ext2 partition with only small windows and a swap partitions.

Deleted SFS as recommended in Barrys blog entry
I found a [[NRI or MRI error message]] when it got to keyboard selection
However it offered to continue . . .
The desktop appeared but keyboard and mouse locked - back to retro version beta for me which is working OK

Never liked PMount, but its behaviour has become really weird in the last few iterations. Now, when mounting the liveCD, with as much as 384Mb main memory, then unmounting it again, the tray is ejected and immediately re-closes. If 384Mb is insufficient for a compact distro then there really isn't much hope? If this happens with 64Mb, fair enough.

Allways a constant shift of 8 hour forward and then backward during boot up.

It is not a question of ndisrapper, because whithout ndiswrapper it happens also in the same booting phase.
And it is not random: every boot, same boot phase and always 8 hours timeshift forward and then backward....

rox - open with - mtpaint

Symlink points to /usr/local/bin/mtpaint while the correct is /usr/bin/mtpaint

I'm sitting here, working on the next major release of Pburn, and yet another time, I have trouble with discs that needs to be reloaded before the status changes. Now it is a new feature that blanks disc if needed during media check. But since Puppy won't detect that the disc is recent blanked, Pburn builds wrong burning command.

I really hope that this will be solved for the final release.
