/etc/group are you sure all that is needed ? same for /etc/gshadow,

/etc/host.conf should be ?
order hosts, bind
multi off
nospoof on
/etc/profile should contain exported variables only

With mouse wheel scroll, it goes from window to window,
and also shades seamonkey sometimes...confusing...

James C,
Could you also please test the Video Upgrade Wizard and install the commercial nVidia driver. I need to know that it still downloads and installs ok.

Hi Barry

Just a quick noob report to say all seems to be working well
with wary 5.1.3.4_smp.iso.

Manual frugal to sda1 using grub4dos to boot. ext3.
800mb ish swap partition. 256mb ram. 2.5Ghz celeron proc.
9yr old Acer 243LC laptop.

Good news - SNS works as expected.

Maybe a later grub4dos version for final (eg 1.7).

Thanks for everything you do - much appreciated.

Very best regards - Ray

Thanks for the feedback.

I think that I have fixed the nVidia package download. Grab these two files, gunzip them, place them in /usr/local/video_upgrade, right-click->Properties and make sure the 'execute' flags are set.

Looking at the thread:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=51697

It seems that 1.7 is still being tested. 1.6.3 is latest stable release.

Video upgrade now downloads both files correctly.

However, the wrong driver 71.86.14 is recommended for this card (should be the 96), but went ahead and downloaded to verify that part worked.

The usb drivers are now builtin to the kernel.

I have no problem with saving to ntfs.

I have no problem on any of my PCs with retrovol.
