I discovered that V1 wouldn't power off when I tried to shut down. (I had been rebooting before that). V2 has the same problem. Puppy shuts down, but just doesn't kill the power. When I saw it, I remembered that that was the reason I didn't go with 4.31 in the first place. ( :oops: Sorry, I'm a bit absent minded sometimes).

When I tried to install V2, the universal installer was unable to see the files on the CD. I tried mounting the CD drive before installing, but that had no effect this time. This was not an issue with V1.

Hey ttuuxxx,

Could you add Altavista as another search engine option?

cool the reason why I started to move the name from 4.3.1 to 4.3.2, I knew there were a few apps that need to updated, any others, I changed the version number in the etc/version and in initrd.gz

here's a fix for the installer :)
a lot less areas need to be changed for version numbering compared to 2 series.

On the Puppy Browser thing, you might want to check out this post.

Also, Iguleder did a snapshot of 431 upgraded to 432 with SCSI and updated it once. He might have some insight.
His thread is here.

I know this is just supposed to be a quick upgrade, but I also would like to see the auto-connect for network/internet setup as done in Stardust.

An out of the box boot with an autosetup of networking for internet connection would be great.
Of course, one cannot have everything and what works for one may not work for another.

Not sure if its the same issue, but 4.3.* does not shutdown when you just hit the 'off' button like 4.2.* used too. This .pet fixes it:

Since you came out with the installer fix pet so quickly, I decided to go ahead and do a full install on my main Linux computer.The installer now works fine. :)

Haven't shut down yet , but I'll check that in a few.

EDIT:

I click "power-off" and get a complete and orderly shutdown and power off. Only thing I did was add "acpi=force to the kernel line in grub.

Thanks for installing tech's abiword. But... He compiled it without spellchecking.
Is it a simple thing to add?

Thanks again! Spell checking now works.
I also copied my /root/.mozilla file from my 431 pupsave and it saved me having to set up all my bookmarks, preferences, and mail settings again.
It looks like it is very close to release quality!

And you are appreciated!
As a matter of fact, all contributers to Puppy in both making ISOs and PETs for it are too.

Again, very good work!

I just tried to install a printer in CUPS.
I selected Setup-Cups printer wizard and answered yes to installing a new printer. I got the initial page displayed in Seamonkey followed by the Cups page.
I selected Administration- add printer
I went all the way through and at the end I got a message of:
server error - internal error

No printer was installed.
I tried this with 2 different printers and still got the same error.

Am I missing something?

This was with V2.iso.

ttuuxxx,

xf-prot is still as it was in 431 which doesn't work.

I posted a small pet fix in the additional software section.
