Frugal install is recommended.

Alternate downloads: Q5sys set up bittorrents:

Lighthouse64 64-bit 5.15F base ISO- http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=torrent-details&id=78fcf00f540aa870dc57e2d1c6c2b207a4f7c4bc

To run Firefox as root, click Menu -> Setup -> Choose Default Browser -> Firefox (root). However I don't recommend doing so. Much safer to just run as spot, saving to the default Downloads folder, then click on Downloads on the desktop and move the file elsewhere as needed.

If you have a very large download, it is best to use wget in a terminal, or click Menu -> Internet -> Pwget downloader and copy and paste in the URL.

Note: For the experimental multi-session mode CD/DVD, boot with puppy pfix=ram to ensure that you can save the first session back to the LiveCD/DVD, (this is PUPMODE=77.)

We're indebted to all beta testers, developers and end users who've contributed immensely to Lighthouse64. You're the best! Very Happy

@ 01Micko

Just tried the torrent in Transmission but got an error message regarding the 'Tracker', I'm guessing it's a fault at my end and not with your torrent file.

Hi TaZoc,

It's working great. Very Happy

Although, I have run into a few minor problems.

1. Firefox-spot freezes when using Ctrl + to resize fonts. This does not happen when running firefox from a console.

2. Bibletime 2.8.1, installed using the ppm gives an error.

Hi Jim,

Bibletime is on my list. Haven't been able to reproduce Firefox freeze here, maybe related to display driver? Is that on an NVIDIA or Intel box?

Try installing 4-KDE-4.6.5-x86_64-F.sfs, Gvfs-1.8.1-x86_64 with BootManager and reboot if you haven't already. Won't work with SFS_load-on-the-fly unless you reboot first. Or boot Mariner with pfix=ram, selecting KDE, Gvfs at the SFS 5 sec. boot prompt dialog. If that doesn't work check the md5sums with click-to-verify-mariner and also the KDE and Gvfs SFS individually. Still no go, then please switch to another WM with KDE still loaded and attach a sys-info-yy-mm-dd.gz.

Nvidia, hope these help. Firefox does not freeze using Ctrl + when running from root.

Regards,
Jim

I believe @Smokey01 made a contribution of SeaMonkey and GeeGie for 64bit.
And, @Asterick made a Contribution of VBox, here

Questions

Does that PET work here and can it be added to the LH64 Repo?
Is the mission of the "Update" still a means to update the present system?
Should any problems be expected beyond the initial Live media save-session or does it work the save as it had in past (5.14, 5.12, etc)?

Thanks for such a beautiful effort that the integration seen in Mariner offers. Thanks everyone!

Fatdog also uses xz compression when making pets.
