Thanks jakfish, you appear to be correct.
It is the newer kernel.
puppy-4.3beta1-k2.6.25.16-v423.iso prints via LAN successfully.
puppy-4.3beta1-k2.6.29.6-v423.iso does not.

Message for trio, or anyone else who has the problem of the 'b43' firmware not getting installed.
Please run this script (gunzip it first!) and post the output log file here.

Trio requested my 'Pcur' cursor selector for testing.
Install xcur2png pet pkg.
gunzip pcur.gz and place at /usr/sbin
place default_left_ptr.png at /usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons
Run pcur.

Okay, the next thing for you guys to do is figure out why

Barry,
Thanks for the response
1. Pcur is great, but default folder should not be in the list also, same as Rox
2. b43 issue, I have to get back to you tomorrow, I don't have the computer with b43 with me now (it's 8.30 PM now here
)
regards

4.3 beta 1 SeaMonkey closed on me once when I accidentally hit the Insert key (I'm pretty sure that was the key I hit.) I don't remember what I was doing at the time. Probably composing a message in the Puppy Linux Forum.
SeaMonkey has also closed several times while Flash junk was loading. I don't know which version of Flash is supposed to be in 4.3 beta 1 I have 10.0 r32.. I tried to install Flash 10 from the Adobe site before I upgraded my multisession DVD to 4.3 beta 1, so it's possible that the Flash I have is not the one that's supposed to be in 4.3 beta 1.
The sound is messed up when I try to play Flash stuff, such as YouTube videos. Not all the time, but most of it.
All the problems I have with 4.3 beta 1 seem to have to do with Flash. Other than that, it's great.

Filenames of remastered puppy
Posted: Wed 26 Aug 2009, 05:05
by shinobar
For the main file names of remastered puppy,
the puppyinstaller allows, say 'ppa4-423ja.sfs'.
It writes '${DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX}-${NEWVER}*.sfs".
But init in initrd.gz does not allow. At line 438 and anywhere it writes
'${DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX}-${DISTRO_VERSION}.sfs'.
And bootflash at line 436, '*-[0-9][0-9][0-9].sfs'.

Will Puppy 4.3 have sudo by default?
It's not safe to run as root by default.

How is it not safe to run as root on a R/O file system?
Posted: Wed 26 Aug 2009, 11:44

I was talking about full installations.
Running as root from the live-cd is OK in my opinion.

I am torn in both directions on the root issue.
Yes running as root on an installed version can be an issue. But an issue for who? Those more technical understand this and appreciate the flexability given to them. For the joe average user perhaps a "user" account needs to be created that is restricted.
If for example you are using Puppy as a Rescue package on a live CD it is almost a necessity.
In my opinion you can go to the other exteme like Bebian which is more locked down. Sometimes it is a pain to have to do things in Debian. That is one reason I like Puppy.
So, I think leave root where it is.

This is a bug report thread.
'running as root' discussions should go somewhere else. It is not a bug. It is deliberate!

hello.
I'm from Brazil.
I do not speak English, so my pot can be confusing.
I've done everything to install puppy on HD, the version is the Puppy 4.3 Beta 1.
I followed all the tutorials available and I am almost giving up puppy install blessed.
If anyone can help me, the pc where I am trying to install has this configuration:
PENTIUM III 866 MHZ.
256 RAMDISK
HD of 10 GB SAMSUNG IDE.
Motherboard JETWAY 601CF.
Once I get it and send write Grub to MBR, it does everything right, then asks to save a file at reboot time, I saved in the same directory where the files are installed and when you start the message: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERTDISK SYSTEM AND PRESS ENTER.
If this is not the correct place to post this I apologize PÇO and guidelines for doing the right thing.
I am humbled the help of comrades who have more experience co Puppy 4.3 Beta 1.
Thank you.
