Install the pet from here. and if you are going to need development files for compiling, install the DEV pet also.

For i486 (compiled in Wary) (450K, 835K):

Hi

just a bug report on Precise

I downloaded the iso and dragged the three required files into a directory to boot

I have an amd phenom 11 cpu 4 gb ram and no cdrom installed..it boots from an SSD drive...precise 5.5 hangs on boot at the line .....recognising optical devices...

menu 1st reads as follows

title PRECISE
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /precise/puppy_precise_5.5.sfs
kernel /precise/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd pfix=copy
initrd /precise/initrd.gz

have tried without "pmedia=atahd pfix=copy" but still hangs on same line

I found a mistake in line 378 of /usr/sbin/remasterpup2. Variables should be escaped. Otherwise this line is not found by xgettext and is not translated.
Code:
$(eval_gettext "WARNING: Be sure that the live-CD or .iso file is the correct one for the currently running Puppy, which is '\${DISTRO_NAME}', version \${DISTRO_VERSION}. As a check, it must have in it the file '\${DISTRO_PUPPYSFS}'")

...

I am also booting all my different puppies from SSD
but like this:

Quote:
# Linux bootable partition config begins
title precise5.5 on /dev/sda3)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /precise55/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=normal pdev1=sda3 pfix=fsck
initrd /precise55/initrd.gz
# Linux bootable partition config ends


At 1st boot or pfix=ram I always have to wait, and wait....
Hope that helps

I have been impressed with the speed of 5.5. I like the increased flexibility of JWM, and I have used the forum to find more GTK and JWM themes together with extra icon sets to customize my desktop. A couple of observations:

- Frisbee was solid in 5.49 but in 5.5 it sometimes drops the wifi connection if I do not open a browser immediately. Seems to get it back again by retrying the connection.
- The on-screen font rendering seems a bit fuzzy. When displaying documents in the Chrome Browser (ver 25) I was expecting something sharper.

Frugal install, wifi connected only, on Acer aspire laptop 4gb memory, twin intel GU 1.3ghz cpus

I have discovered why and have fixed it in the version of frisbee and its friends (in a "kit" tarball), posted here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=693212#693212
All packages in the kit should be installed together into any of the 5.5 puppies (and any other built from the current woof, but not any older than that).
