Works! Posting from it now. Very Happy

Feels smooth and fast. Good work 666philb!

Update: Palemoon started to get really laggy after about 40 minutes and slowed everything down to a crawl (100% CPU usage), not sure why as all I had open was a few Puppy Forum tabs. Right-clicking it and pressing Kill fixed it for now.

Had time to do a quick manual frugal install. Basics all working ootb.

A small first finding....

When Frisbee is started from the Welcome screen, the wifi key is corrupted when entered and so the connection is not successful.

Frisbee called from the desktop icon or from the terminal works OK.

Have seen this type of problem before - may be some sort of GTK2+ theme problem....will investigate further.

Otherwise initial tests went OK.

Cheers

Is it confirmed light encryption not working?

Thanks again for very usable and useful pups.
Have frugal installed on a 250gb hard drive on a couple of 2009 vintage Dell Inspiron 1545 machines, one single core other dual core. No real problems, but seems to run about 5deg C hotter than Trusty.
Battery icon seems stuck at 95% capacity on mains or battery only.
No indication that usb drive icon is mounted or not, but drives work fine.
Internet fine (speedometer monitored) and shows good speeds via wifi both fixed line or mobile access using TPlink router. (However Pale Moon was a bit slow coming up with results with a speedchecker - but this could be me!)

Thanks for this one, I'll have a look later. Abiword crashes anyway (or at least the recent ones do) so I wouldn't worry about it. I've long ago learnt to never use it for anything mission critical.

Abiword crashes, easy to solve, provide version 2.8.6. Exclamation

Hi 666philb,
great work again !

I got a try to get an old usb Wacom Volito tablet working on Xenial:
- only /etc/X11/xorg.conf needs editing and adding the "wacom bits" as follow (should be enough ...BUT):

Hi 666philb,

have noticed this on a pristine installation of Xenialpup 7.0.0:

clicking on a disk icon (here sda6) opens a rox window showing sda6 directory; and a green flag pops up in the upper-right corner of the disks icon.

pmount shows that sda6 is mounted;

clicking on that green flag is expected to unmount the correcponding disk; and aftrwds to swith of that green flag.

Here, what happens:
when clicking on that green flag, pmount shows that the disk is effectively unmounted; but the green flag keeps displaying.

To switch it off, doing
