pemasu is right, at least in my experience -- which key doesn't matter.

No luck at all with button pressing. Once it suspended, it was gone. But what did work is swapping out the kernel with 3.2.29 from Upup Precise. I don't know if I'm missing out on anything by using the older kernel. So far, everything works fine, including suspend and resume when closing and opening the laptop lid. It seems pretty snappy too, but that just be me.

I did a frugal install to a 4gb flash drive, running on a Gateway
desktop pc.

Updated ppm and then installed

Installed the proprietary Nvidia driver.

It's working well so far.

EDIT: I've been using raring 387 for a couple of days and adding more
applications from ppm (lxpanel for one) and it's working great.
I like the newer applications in this puppy

I'm a mostly newbie and have found that Upup Raring works beautifully on a Dell Latitude laptop (~2009). I don't know much about how puppies work, but if the performance improvements have to do with Ubuntu Raring's focus on performance improvements, it's amazing. Even faster than Precise 5.6.1 -- faster bootup and especially shutdown, apps like Puppy Package Manager much faster to start than on Precise. Broadcom wireless continues to work out-of-the-box, unlike Ubuntu/Mint 13.04 derivatives. Thanks to all for their work on this puppy.

Hi folks!

Upup Raring 3.8.7 is an excellent Puppy ....but does not save CPU Frequency settings .

Or is it maybe just me ?

Hi there !!
SOLVED

...."but does not save CPU Frequency settings" .

Bullshit ...... everything works fine

Hello, mikeslr,

Are you talking about me, musher0 (pronounced "musher-zero")?

Long story short, the zero ("0") means that I am not leading a team any more, that I'm just a regular dog now.

If so, what did I cover more accurately?
Not that I'm fishing for compliments, but it would be nice to know!

Best regards.

Hi pemasu,

Time to stop catching those rays and get back to the kennel me thinks!
We have seen very little of the sun here in the U.K. The youngsters seem to favour sun beds which accounts for their strange orange appearance! (We call it a “fake bake

Barry wrote:Extra notes

I compiled the 3.9.5 kernel in Raring Puppy (built from Ubuntu Raring Ringtail DEBs).

Some features:

Configured with PAE support, so recognises up to 64MB RAM.
Minimum of a Pentium Pro (i686) CPU.
No support for ISA/EISA bus cards (support for motherboards with PCI).
The f2fs (Flash Friendly File System) is enabled, builtin.
devtmpfs enabled, so the kernel creates device nodes in /dev (and not udev).
The kernel loads module firmware (and not udev, though will fallback to udev if cannot load).

There are linux_kernel and linux_header PETs available for Woof to build Raring Puppy.

Hopefully, pemasu will also apply this trick to Firefox in his future builds: http://www.bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00291
Looks interesting.

I wouldn't urge him to get back here immediately, though. He's worked hard and deserves to decompress a little bit.

Hopefully when he does it will include suppprt of my intel audio chop, as he did with his current Raring.

.

I don't see a contradiction here.
Barry is talking about his personal experience of compiling Seamonkey. Given, he's been working on Puppy for ten years already, he's got some experience to share as does someone who's working on Slax. He's discussing compression, not rocket science. On a good day and under the best of circumstances, perhaps I could have come to the same conclusion ... if I had a little bit of Barry's knowledge.

Hi pemasu,

Due to health problems, I am late getting to check this out. However, I have found it to be very stable and most everything works as it should.

Main problem is being unable to install my printer. I installed the hplip_print-3.12.4.pet which works for me most of the time.

Only other problem noted is that Bibletime installed from Ubuntu repositories will not display text. This is an Ubuntu problem though, since the same problem occurs with Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail. A pleasant surprise is that Xiphos installed with the PPM from Ubuntu repositories and works perfectly. I've also installed Wine and am able to run my favorite Windows programs: Bible_Analyzer, e-Sword, and theWord

Thanks for a great distribution. Looking forward to your version of Barry's latest.

Thanks again,
Jim
