476c did the job: my Intel video card is performing at a high resolution and so far everything else is humming along. I haven't got to the Debian repository part yet.
Thanks, Gposil. Which of the two figures in your icon is you?

Thank you for the 476-C
I did boot with acpi actif and acpi=off.
In both cases I got the desktop, but with only the first sata HDD partitions.

The second HDD in the e-sata bay wasn't seen.

As my critical data is on this second HDD, at this stage, I can't use dpup 476.

upup 466 has no problems to see this second HDD.

Nevertheless, I have the impression that this dpup 476 has more performance. Feels quick.

I still have this JQ8flat doesn't contain mime type message/warning.

I can't open Abiword, not from the desktop icon, the link in /usr/local/bin, nor the direct icon in /usr/bin.

I was able to set up my remote (wired network) printer by putting a link to the smbspool in /usr/lib/cups/backend. Wouldn't it be easy to put such a link in the delivered version?

Dave,

can you do me a favour and tell me what the message is when you run abiword from terminal...it works here..so i've got to find out what's up...and yes the cups samba spooler problem will be fixed...I was aware of it, but just hadn't got there yet...

Béèm,
I'll keep trying to find out why the esata is not working///

Cheers

Just tried dpup-476c. BTW boot splash-screen still shows 476b

However, this is one beautiful puplet. No nonsense fast, and recognises my ATI Radeon 3450 video card out-of-the-box - just like real Debian. This is good enough even now to be my main distro.

Really looking forward to the Gnome version with Synaptic. I have already done a few experiments with Synaptic, but more research is needed on how to configure this to work properly with Puppy. I started off by trying to play with apt-get, but due to wrong configuration, would not install every program that I tried. APT gets configured during a normal Debian install by a script running within the installer itself. I wonder what would be involved in ripping this script from the Debian ISO.

I'll play some more with Dpup- 476c and see what gives.

Kudos!

edit:
Just noticed the cheeky Puppy logo that replaces the official Debian swirl sitting on the official Lenny wallpaper - Lol! Very Happy

That's weird...working on this esata problem...there's no kernel module for ahci in Barry's 2.6.27.4 kernel...I may have to recompile the kernel...

False alarm. I called for Abiword in the console and it came up. Then I clicked on the desktop icon and it came up again. I've been tweaking things (running ALSA setup and so forth), and rebooting several times, so I don't know what I did to kick it in.
I can't get gparted to work. This is true in upup as well. I can get it to work in a rescue disk I have, so I don't think it's a problem in my disk itself.
The Puppy Package Manager is balky. When I switched from one repo to another, it froze a couple of times.
This is a great Puppy overall. Congrtatulations.

@Béèm:

If you have the time, I would like you to download maggotspawn's 4.20-RT-SMP (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=43740). I'm curious to know if it will recognize your esata external drive. It carries a 2.6.29.1 kernel.

Xorg now works fine with my onboard Intel graphics.Thanks for the quick fix.

Time to do some testing..
