Thanks for all the hard graft on 533 Mick.

Been running flawlessly for more that 36 hours now.
Had a couple of minor problems setting up the Nvidia driver after removing Nouveu and rebooting.I got a 'unsupported' message until selecting 'Xorgwizard'and hitting a few buttons.No big deal!
Also,I didn't see the 'install Flashplayer' box (as in past Slacko's )when opening SeaMonkey Browser but no problems with 'GetFlash'.
Seems to boot faster than Lucid but possibly a tad slower when running on my hardware.

A job well done!!

Did full install on ext4 partition and only problem encountered is that cannot get cpu-bar to work in pwidgets

Great job on this

Hi Brown Mouse,

Yep, sometimes when unloading nouveau and rebooting the monitor can't handle the resolution, that's why I mention it in the 'help' for the drivers gui in Slickpet. It instructs you (if that occurs) to CTRL-ALT-BKSPCE and run xorgwizard.

That's the best I could come up with for now, but perhaps there is a better way, I am always looking into better ways for everything

Cheers

UPDATE: nvidia-glx-sdl-295.49-slacko.sfs (Update: 2012-05-07)
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/pup5/
For Slacko 5.3.1/5.3.3 with kernel 2.6.37.6, 2.6.39.4, 3.1.10-slacko_4gA, or 3.1.10-slacko_paeA. . (contains glx, OpenGL and SDL)

Load, but do not run the nVidia Settings at this point of time, just exit the sfs_load, and run xorgwizard or reboot PC following the coming message.
Slacko 5.3.1 may need not reboot PC, go straight to the xorgwizard.
Slacko 5.3.3 may need to reboot PC with your session saved before the xorgwizard.

Hi,

I accidentally found when using SeaMonkey (with Slacko/jwm) that right clicking on the top or bottom vertical scroll bar arrow (if lit and active) took me to the top or bottom of my screen. Also, for example, using Slacko's Package Manager, the horizontal scroll bar arrows can also be right clicked.

This right click method does not work for me using Opera, though it might well work with Firefox (which I no longer use).

For any jwm users who may be interested in the possible convenience of extra vertical (and horizontal) right clickable arrows see http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=441621#441621

My regards

New slacko does not recognize my via_rhine.

No internet at all.

(Edit) I was mistaken, after a reboot I'm back online.

After upgrading Puppy Package Manager, searching for packages, and then quitting, it would not start.

I tried to start it in terminal and got this error:

cd /usr/local/petget

./pkg_chooser.sh

Patch removed, see http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=626479#626479

Have three versions of Eudora-xxx.pet in my personal repository, kindly supplied by Forum gurus. One is labelled 'wary', one 'lucid' rc1 and the other just v1.0.
Mick: please do you have a recommendation or should I wait for a new .pet?

ziggy_patch_ppm

My PPM quit working, but the patch did not repair it. However copying ui_Classic to ui_Ziggy did allow it to start (with the classic ui). Does the Ziggy ui need something that the Classic ui does not need that I might have cratered by installing and uninstalling some packages?
