PPM cursor
Hi Barry

Puppy Package Manager when no package found

The cursor shows when over the desktop,
then disappears behind the main PPM window,
then shows again if you hit the
"Sorry, no matching package name" red dialog.

Ahhh! switching back to PPM from Seamonkey after copying the text in the red dialog without closing the dialog, the whole PPM window is blank. If I move it out of the way I can see the red dialog, click "okay" then PPM window displays.

Is it possible to have <return> trigger the "okay" as well as the mouse?

Fresh manual frugal install of Wary 510 on my main Linux box.Display,audio and internet were all working on initial boot.
Added several pets including Pwidgets and Pidgin,all are working fine. No real problems at all. Looking good here.

Everything tested is working satisfactorily after upgrade from 504. Locale settings are now saved correctly on upgrade except LC_COLLATE for reason I described on BK's blog. However, the LC_COLLATE=en_US setting does not seem to break anything in the way that some other locale settings did.

Thanks for another great version.

I tried to update using Delta files:

2b696ac4aa031e97e6f890529652bcd8 wary-504-k2.6.32.28.iso
e0ef5673eccd5ef4ee13cfd717cc48ba wary_devx_504.sfs

9c99aff9cb70599e8bd51c39c442604f wary-500.iso___wary-510-k2.6.32.28.iso.delta
f8fd6251b6aa02a4aa7770b0765c1ce0 wary_devx_500.sfs___wary_devx_510.sfs.delta

Got the following in both cases:

"ERROR! failed to recreate the new file. Error message:
xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT
okay"

P.S. All 4 checksums verified

It looks like you are trying to update from 504 to 510....

The deltas are for 500 to 510....

I have been trying to revitalize my old IBM ThinkPad A21m (Pentium III - 750 MHz, 128 MHz ram).

This machine will run Puppy 4.2.0 and Puppy 4.3.1 with the 2.6.21.7 kernel, but hangs on a frugal install of Wary 5.1 k2.6.31.14 after the first two lines following "Booting command list:"

Here is the grub entry with the same configuration that works on Puppy 4.3.1:

Several times today tried to download Wary 5.1, but Ibiblio seems to be sick. Or is it only the path from them to me personally?

Full hd installation on an old Sony Vaio laptop with only 64MB ram. Everything appears to be working and this is the fastest that this old laptop has ever run.

Thanks,

Used Wary-510-k2.6.31.14-uniproc-ide.iso to make a CD-RW.
[The more up-to-date kernel wouldn't boot on my 2003 desktop PC]

FEATURE:
1. I notice that this Wary searches deeper than where the pupsave files are located [In case there might be more?]

BUG?
1. It lists TWO of everything it finds.
i.e. If there are 2 pupsave files; one on the HDD and one on a Flash Drive, it lists them as items 1 and 2, then lists them again as 3 and 4.
