Thanks for the link. I'm going to give 4.32 a try; I didn't know it existed.

Cheers,

Hi ttuuxxx,
after my very positive experiences with 432v3 on the road and the interest it might have generated:

How about reviving the link to the iso on page 1 of this thread?

It might bring in some new "customers"

This should be a good link......

http://brainwavedesigncentral.net/mike/ ... 432-V3.iso

Thank you James,

yes yours
http://brainwavedesigncentral.net/mike/ ... 432-V3.iso
is a good working link.

So is this
http://www.lamiaworks.com.au/puppy_isos.html.

yet, most people that would stumble upon this thread may not locate this particular page and these links.

Therefore, my suggestion that ttuuxxx amends the first post on page one with working links.

I have been using pulp 0.1 (puppy 4.1.2 based) because pizzasgood helped me get it to work with framebuffer console.
Does the puppy 4.3.2 kernel have fb support and modules and X driver?
I prefer to work in console mode, also I have old laptops with little RAM and fb but not xvesa capabilities.

Youtube downloader downloads an mp4 which gxine cannot play.
Something about demuxer.

'Convert' cannot find any file to convert though it is there in /tmp.

Broke in 4.3.1 I think because of a Youtube file format change - should the Downloader be removed or maybe updated?

Other things besides 'Save' are offscreen right and bottom, as in 4.3.1.

All else so far works nicely. Networking, mouse.

Lamia link to the iso works, brainwave does not (for a week now)

Trash icon is halfway off screen bottom at 1024 res

On my Latitude D600 laptop, save file size can be only -1MB (-1024K)
which of course does not save anything so this version (V3) is not useful.

Still using a full install of 432 v3 for my backup os.... still as solid as when I installed way back when it was released.Not flashy but it just keeps on working.
No problem keeping the browsers updated.... Firefox 9.0.1, SeaMonkey 2.6.1 and Opera 11.60.

I've now downloaded it (Puppy 4.32 v3) and am using it now. I'm extremely impressed; as far as I can tell it does everything the 5 series Puppies can do and unlike most, if not all, other 4 series Pups it also recognises the ext4 file system as well.

Thanks and well done.

Cheers,

CP .

I am testing this, and wow!

I was having troubles with video skipping in 4.3.1, but this one works perfectly. And all the 4.3.1 software (that I have tried and use) works with it too.

Hi mini-jaguar - could you post your specs please? Some of us tragics with 1999-2002 era hardware (P111) looking for robust Puppy base I'm sure would appreciate it. Cheers

EDIT Thanks mini-jaguar - retrospective to your post, below. Hmmm it might work fine, but I'll give Puppy 4.1.2 a workout on them, too - tuxtoo has a beaut collection of puplets and pets (they might work for 432 too) http://412collection.co.uk/index.php

Sorry Dell from 2007/8 or around. Memory 800 or 900 something megs. A lot newer than your computer (but you could try it, might work fine).

http://www.lamiaworks.com.au/puppy_isos.html

about half way down that page as:

puppy432_v3.iso

checksum is 71aea85e9fd805b7e6d02ea3baa3d0df

Thanks.

Since (unfortunately) the X Windows installation in 4.20 Deeper Thought broke on my machine, I had to look for something else to run on my old machine and I remembered this one, which I've now installed to my hard drive (full install). It's very good indeed IMO and even with Seamonkey and LibreOffice Writer (which I've installed from a pet) open, it still only uses 155 MB of RAM and with Firedog and Opera 11.11 added as well, it only takes up 1.68 GB on my hard drive. Thanks again!

Been having a little bit of fun with this Pup and woofy and decided to produce an updated iso with regards to glibc to 2.10/and added gtkdialog 4 etc anyway download from here and read the notes in text form also from here

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dazsbar ... bc%202.10/

Anyone ever get VLC to work in this version?

@darry1966. Many thanks for the updated OS. Other than a current SM, is there anything else you're running that you couldn't before?

Jake

To beto 2.10 honest I only Updated the following

glibc 2.10 and glibc locales
gtkdialog4
flashplayer 10.3.183.90
libjpeg’s 7 and 8
libtiff4.3.9.4-5

libstc++6_4.4.5-8
menumaker
Left original Seamonkey which updates to latest

So th rest is pretty original as abiword for example is 2.8 so this is still a good choice for old kit and the debus libraries are already setup. So well done and thanks Ttuuxxx.

Great stuff. Thanks.

Hi Nubc and others,

I have had a go at this vlc thing using my 4.12 box I am using a slackware 13 package VLC 1.06 it is work in progress as it has missing libs come up however it plays mp4's and avi's and mp3 I have not tried streaming with it so anyway here is the link. I'll keep working on it, feel free to take and improve.

Doesn't play flv at the moment. Anway it is a start.

Hint by the way I use slackware deps and rename them to get the libs I need example slackware lib may be libgpm.so.2.0.4 can rename to libgpm.so.2 - sometimes works not always anyway have a play with it should work in 4.32 as it does in 4.12
