peebee...

Enough to make me want to pull out what little hair I have left!!!!!

I tried installing the firmware from Slacko in a fresh pfix=ram 5.2.58 and that didn't work!

So just out of frustation I did another fresh ram-install of 5.2.58 and tried the original Precise with everything it comes with... no changes... configured WiFi with original setup package and.... everything now appears to be working just fine, been online about an hour without a drop... shutdown, created a savefile, re-booted, WiFi came right online....

I guess it's possible somehow I may have had a corrupt original savefile???? also I haven't tried an 'eth0 config' yet to see what that does... one thing at a time!

I will run this for a few days and see how it goes!

I appreciate your help, and sorry to take up your time but maybe something good will come from this and help someone on down the line somewhere? 'If A Problem Occurs... Start All Over From Scratch' then go tweaking from there if problems persist, sometimes the simplest is the best route to go.

Now I will try adding stuff to 5.2.58 and see if maybe somewhere there something may cause Precise to go haywire?... if so, I'll post!

When I access Precise 5.2.58 'savefile' from a different Puppy version and go to the 'usr' file this comes up.... 'Is something not working?'

Precise Puppy 5.2.60 (beta2) is out.

Download from here:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/test/precise-5.2.60/

I haven't documented everything on my blog. For example, this pup has shinobar's getflash. Pemasu sent me a list of what packages he had installed in his Upup, and I adjusted my build to use most of them also.

My Raspberry Pi has arrived, so I will switch over to playing with that for awhile.

Gtkhash is still not working so I downloaded the source and made a pet of it.

After using beta 2 for a while and doing a bit of customizing I
haven't had any problems.
I haven't tested every application etc, but it's working well so far.

I updated my 5.2.58 savefile which included installed pets.

When I ran the Package Manager in 5.2.60 only the description of the pets was displayed (no pet name) and if that was clicked to uninstall then a big red error box appeared (sorry didn't capture).

However easily fixed as if PPM is exited and then restarted both the name of the pet and an icon are displayed and an uninstall click works correctly.

Thought I'd mention....
Cheers

On toshiba tecra 1.66ghz core duo w/1.5gb ram beta2 will not boot. Had no trouble with 5.2.55 or with 5.2.58 except 5.2.58 takes 6 minutes to boot up with long wait time to load drivers etc. With 5.2.60 it just sits and never loads drivers or moves forward. Have burnt iso 2 times and verified the burn both times with same result. I am running a live multi session of 5.2.58 with no working hard drive.
PS: not to sound dumb but what do the deltas do and/or how do you apply it?; I assumed the delta was to update 5.2.58 to 5.2.60 without a full install but I am not finding info on it.
Also, thanks to runtt21 for the fix for 2 of my first post questions and to OscarTalks for the vlc pet link. I will give the vlc pet a try and post back if it works... thanks again.
