BEWARE! Seamonkey 2.48 will not work in Lucid Pups without some help. However, this can be partially resolved by installing packages provided in my posting here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 368#963368
-- Partial workaround for 2017 release available, but is not a complete fix:

-- Recommendation: Stay with 2.46 or try 2.48 in a nonessential test installation.

The popular Lucid Puppy has been upgraded with its major components brought up to date. Although links to the individual disk image (ISO) files are provided below, the disk-image download site is:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/y3rkzh ... es-5.2.8.7
The final versions of 5.2.8.6 are still at:
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/dc28t2r ... es-5.2.8.6
This thread is intended as the maintenance center for further support of Lucid Pup. The next few messages are reserved for particular subjects, specifically issues related to reinstallation with later versions of the ISO files and collection of links to component package updated since the latest upgrade date. I hope this thread can become a resource for users as well as a feedback thread. (The original Lucid Pup 5.2.8 thread was:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 253#554253)
The download site contains a set of ISO files of identical function, different only in their internal structure. All were created with the "remaster" tool. Of all these variants, the one that supports both dialup hardware and the (xz) compression method used in modern SFS files is lupusuper2 (or lupusuper2plus, with LibreOffice, or lupusuper2libre)
- - The main lupu has everything in the main (lupu_528) SFS file, which will load into RAM if at least 384 MB of RAM is installed.

Note that Lucid Pup is not released in the same manner as other puppy projects. The version level is frozen at "5.2.8", so that all puppy-main files are named "lupu_528" and will not trigger the normal pupsave-update function. To manage the cases where a pet package has been installed and becomes part of a later upgrade of lupu, after replacement of the main files in a frugal installation and subsequent boot-up, a check is made for packages now included in the main (lupu_528) file. If a conflict is found, a (pop-up) recommendation is made to uninstall the conflicting package, so as to utilize the new version in lupu.
This effort is endorsed by the originator of Lucid Pup, playdayz, who has committed to maintain the QuickPet aspect of lucid support and advise me in maintaining the core of Lucid Pup. A big "thank you", playdayz!
The history of the upgrades made to lupu528-005 to create 5.2.8.6 and the initial 5.2.8.7 is here:
