gposil,
Bad news, the delta update didn't work, still getting the results, I posted above.
I'll try the global font update on my frugal installation.
Jim
EDIT: Set global font works fine. On the full hd boot problem, it appears to be looking for a /tmp/bootcnt.txt file and it keeps repeating the errors I stated on page 2.
On another positive note, I managed to get the latest Bibletime 2.2 working although it's still missing some kde icons that appear on the menus. Haven't sorted that out yet.
While I'm bothering you, please consider making "numlock on" the default condition. The attached pet, which I've tested on this dpup, contains the location and code that needs to be updated.
Thanks,
Jim

i tried to do a full install with the new beta2sp1 and was not successful either. I am not getting the same error as jim but it is not working, i just get a grub error 2 'bad file or directory type' using an EXT3 fs.
before or after using the patch, when i use the global font setter and click apply i see nothing happen but if I then restart X it works. it seems like clicking apply should restart jwm or X or something that it is not.

I have been trying to duplicate the cups problem some people are having, and I can't. Is the following the process that everyone is following:
At new install Wizard or from Menu>Setup>CUPS Printer Wizard
Step 1- Do you want to add a new printer --> Yes
Step 2 - Okay the purple screen...then Cups opens in Firefox
Step 3 - Click Add Printer
Step 4- Name Your printer then hit Continue
Step 5 - If the printer is connected it should show up in device list
Step 6 - Select printer and click continue
Step 7 - Choose model from Model List and click Add Printer
Step 8 - Wait for Administration Page to come up and set printer otions you require and click Set Printer Options
Step 9 - Wait for the Printers Tab to appear with your installed printer, set as default or not, Print a Test Page and your finished.
After Installation, all Printer Administration is done from Menu>System>GtkLp printing management, you should never need the CUPS web interface again, unless you are installing a new printer.
Hope this clears up eveyones printing probs

That process for CUPS worked fine for me from the get go, but if you now go back in to CUPS, choose not to add a printer, and click the ADMINISTRATION tab (or any other), CUPS will require a username and password, and so cannot be used, Root and woofwoof do not work as in past Puppies.

On my frugal install of 482 Beta 2 I've installed Opera 10 and Ttuuxxx's AlsaPlayer/Streamtuner and both are working fine.

Ok, just a couple more tests, but it looks like the full install bug is fixed, i'll upload ServicePack 2 as soon as i'm happy with it.
DaveS, on the dpup version of CUPS, the security is entirely different to other pups, if you don't want to add a printer, changes are locked from the web interface, that is why dpup has the Gnome Printer Management Tool(GtkLp).
Cheers

Hi, with the service pack delta file is there a requirement to rename anything, when I try the xdeltagui it keeps failing with the error that both files need to be in the same directory, which they are. Is there a requirement to have the devx files? Any help is appreciated.
Cheers
Jason

As far as I know there is no need to rename anything when using the delta file.
I just downloaded the delta file into /root where I already had the 482 Beta 2 iso and then clicked on the delta file which generated the new iso file. Worked fine here.
Couldn't do a full install , but I did a frugal and am posting from it now.
One more thing, you need to be running 482 for the process to work. I tried it with my 4.20 installation and it wouldn't work. Booted into 482 live, went to /root on the correct partition and clicked on the delta.....success.

Ok...the full install bug is dead...482SP2 will be up in about 30 minutes...SP2 also fixes other issues and now allows you to preview the screensavers without any security issues. The numlock default on is now set also.
Cheers
BTW...SP2 requires that SP1 has already been applied, and you have dpup-482beta2-SP1.iso, as the old file.

HI again, can report a successful full hd install of 482b2sp2 on ext4 partition. Install, restart, lovely. By the way is there a patch for the synaptic issue, as it still happens.
Cheers
Jason

The new delta is failing to generate a complete new iso.
I'm running 482 Beta 2 SP1, the 482 Beta 1 SP1 iso is in /root, downloaded the delta to /root and I get a red error message (see screenshot) and a 64 mb iso file. Tried 3 times.
It's 3:30 am so I give up.............for now anyway.
EDIT:
I see the file is re-uploading, guess I jumped the gun a little.
Nevermind.
