Built with 2.6.30.5 kernel. In 'special-puppies' folder I built 'pup-431-INTEL_MODEMS.iso' with the extra 536 and 537* drivers.

Just did a full hard drive install of 4.31 RC on my P3 test box. No problems with installer or Gparted at all.

Haven't had a chance to test much yet but my first observation is that the boot seems much faster for some reason.Noticeable difference.

Already installed Firefox 3.5, Opera 10 and ttuuxxx's AlsaPlayer/Streamtuner........all installed and work fine.

Puppy network wizard cannot see any active network interfaces. I have a normal lan connection. In 430 und 431.1firefox puppies it is working fine.

PS: Withdraw: Ethernet network connection ok. I tried it to early from the live-cd. After full hdd installation it works fine.

Bonjour,
Test of Puppy 4.31 RC.
Locale fr_FR : Very fast, both loading into memory as launching applications. Superb.
Ethernet network connection Ok,
Printer HP shared with Windows OK.
I tried to install Sylpheed, but before I clicked on the More Info button, html viewer displays the page in Japanese : http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/ja/
Not so important.

When I press the 'execute' button in geany, my bash script won't run.

Something a little odd with MIME default textedittor? Basically, open as text was borked until I dropped the geany bin into the 'open with' dialogue. All ok after that. For some strange reason, ttcorefont.pet does not 'take', so is not recognised by seamonkey.

i found a small typo.

/usr/sbin/youtube.sh - at line 35, one blank charactor inserted.
echo "Connecting to "$hos tl

correct:
echo "Connecting to "$hostl

I made a .pet from htop 0.8.3 and it made the entry in the system menu but clicking on that entry does nothing.It runs in the console fine though.

Puppy 4.3.1 RC - bugs and nitpicks [using a live boot (puppy pfix=ram)]:

- The Puppy CD/DVD Wizard doesn't save the settings for the DVD drive.

- absvolume shows incorrect volume values in the tooltip after you adjust the volume with another app. For example,if you adjust the master volume with alsamixer to 30, the volume BAR of absvolume shows the correct position, but the tooltip still stays at 74.

- When viewing help files with PuppyBrowser, if you switch to full screen mode, there's no way to exit from it (to return to windowed mode). The only way out is Alt+F4 Sad

- Viewnior is not updated (still the old version). ttuuxxx's Puppies 4.31.1 has the latest version and it's much better.

Ongoing report of issues observed in 431 RC1 (main) on c.2004 Athlon-based desktop (frugal) and/or c.2000 Intel P4-based laptop (CD).

4. Confirmed: SQLiteManager "freeze" after selecting Tools/Options.

3. Bootmanager loading or unloading of SFS files still resets desktop icons!

2. No compatible modules found by CPU Frequency Scaling Tool. Compatible modules are found for both systems under Puppy 430.

1. No ROX menu entry for Partview app (found button at left of panel). I also suggest Partview *not* use the color red.
