Thanks for your continued work, Larry. I have just downloaded the latest 3HD iso and it works perfectly. I had forgotten just how good it is.

I didn't notice any new features though.

(It's the same as on page 25 of this thread. Thanks for testing.)

Playdayz,

booted into 3HDv3 from USB install by way of PendriveLinux. Just trying it live. Boots right up, and detects this broadcom bcm4311 wifi without issue. 525 does as well, though 528 has always been a struggle on this machine - Perhaps just a kernel thang. Had to adjust touchpad sensitivity on Dell laptop, and seems solid now. Nice set of apps updates, and the OOTB fonts seem much nicer than earlier Lucids. Thanks for everything.

I had the nvidia pet installed but I wanted to upgrade to the newest
nvidia driver so I uninstalled the pet and installed the
luci_devx_001.sfs and kernel_src-2.6.37.6-patched.sfs files.
When I went to compile the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.20.run it failed so I
unloaded the kernel_src-2.6.37.6-patched.sfs and loaded
kernel_sources-2.6.37.6-patched_spup2.sfs file that I had on the hard
disk, this time the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.20.run compiled successfully.

X Server: Xorg Driver: nvidia
X.Org version: 1.7.6
dimensions: 1440x900 pixels (411x263 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes

direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GT 220/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 295.20

sh-4.1# glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
31672 frames in 5.0 seconds
31684 frames in 5.0 seconds
31678 frames in 5.0 seconds

So kernel source sfs link on page 1 gets the wrong kernel source sfs
file.

EDIT: 3hd is working great, thanks.

Finally got around to downloading Luci-001.003 and set up a number of items, printer, scanner, etc... everything working just great so far without a single problem. Tomorrow, we get into some of the heavy-stuff testing!

All in all so far playdayz, you have a real winner here and it seems just as fast as some of the newer puppy versions with a later kernel? Don't know how you did that but it's great.

Oh yea... this 'rummor' of you dropping your build from the 'Official Status of Puppy'... All I can say is 'Don't You Dare Do That or Let Anyone Talk You Into Doing It.' Ubuntu is still one of the major large distros that builders like Mint and many, many others (including you) have built their versions from and Ubuntu will be around for a long long time making continual up-grades... Your puppy can do the same thing afterall, isn't most of the major headaches and greef behind you and you have a fantastic almost trouble-free distro to be proud of!!!!

Eyes-Only sent a cool wallpaper for 3HD, and also a screenshot of the wallpaper with the fluxbox window manager. it is a nice small file. It reminds me that I have always liked blackbox/fluxbox.

Transparent Taskbar in Openbox

The taskbar in Openbox (default window manager) was supposed to be fully transparent in 3HD and Lucid, but somewhere along the line something got screwed up. Here is the fix. The taskbar, or panel, is provided by fbpanel and this program pfbpanel had a bad value for the "alpha" or transparency. Download the pet and then click it to install. (Or you can download, right-click and Extract Here, then move pfbpanel to /usr/sbin/pfbpanel.)
