While waiting for the non-pae version.........
Manual frugal install of 5.4.9.2 on my old Athlon XP box. Basically everything working well out of the box.

Did a USB install of 5.4.9.2:
I had no problem connecting my wi driver with frisbee however every 30 seconds or so it disconnected and reconnected again so I had to abandon frisbee. (Thanks Barry for including frisbee)
After a number of unsuccessful attempts I finally established a connection using network wizard.
This just goes to show that this wl driver is a disaster as far as puppy is concerned.
Apart from that congratulations on a great os.
irishrm.

Frugal install to Flash drive
Posting from Precise 5.5 beta right now
Added 5 SFS (devx, poedit, libreoffice, java, wine)
Everything normal so far
For either official or derivative builds, Retrovol doesn't rise/low volume in my computer, how can I find out what sound card I have and set Retrovol to use it?
I like the new theme combination, it reminds me of Puppy 4.3.1

Vicmz I have same opinion.
Desktop theme is very good. Old is Gold !. Also, I would like to inform you all that Precise Puppy 5.5 is excellent in all respects .

No, you are wrong. What Puppy has is correct. I was informed of this sometime ago, and it works for case of more than 16 partitions.
Major number '259' is explained in the Linux documentation:
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devices.txt
Quote: | - there are big files like LLVM, icudata, xul, flashplayer...what can be done ? |
Nothing. Unfortunately, these are needed dependencies in Precise Puppy.
Quote: | - when doing for instance ls /dev/ram0 it displays in bright color not easily readable. |
Yes, the yellow colour in a terminal is awful, but I don't know how to change it. Perhaps someone can hack the urxvt source code.
Quote: | - /usr/local/share/pixmaps/ has only one file |
So? it is the Glipper package that has this.
Quote: | - There is /lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 and /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 but 9.8 is not used |
That was deliberate. I think that there is an incompatibility between the two versions. The Ubuntu repo has both of these. 0.9.8 is included in the build for any pkgs that might be installed that need it, including some older PETs.

Yes, libssl.so.0.9.8 is essential. I have an important package (Mailwasher) that will not work with later versions.

Heh heh, ok, another one. I have added your patch into Woof. Also committed and uploaded Woof.

I fixed a bug in PPM:
http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00141
Apart from that, guvcview works on my laptop. The laptop's built-in camera works, get video, but no sound. Um, but I don't even know if my laptop has a built-in microphone, perhaps I have to plug one in.

Or at least put a scrollbar in the JWM theme chooser, so that having many themes won't expand the GUI from roof to floor -- at times I think the Exit button will reach China. The same happens in the Icon Set Chooser GUI, a scrollbar for that one would be great, too.  |
The Simple Network Setup script could really use a scrollbar, when using it in areas with many routers the list goes below the taskbar and the buttons, and passphrase input field are not visible. |
OK, SNS now has a scrollbar if more than 11 wifi networks found.
This is in Woof, committed and uploaded.
