Nevermore, if you could remaster the CD again, you can remove this line in the isolinux.cfg before you burn the iso.
If I can manage to have time, I'll try it in 2.12 release. Probably, Vista like. Cheers to everyone!

Good news - hope you go with Vista
It took a long time for people to adopt XP
(the devil they know)
They will be equally cautious with Vista
but initial hardware is still linked to the 'MS tax'
We however can have the look and feel of the next generation
(for many) with the speed and reliability of an evolving and supported environment

Is there a timeline on the PuppyPro 2.12 release?
I need to acquire some mini-CD's and test burning them. Sure will make for a neat
handout -- maybe even holiday gifts!

Just thought that I would mention that since discovering there is a whole raft of 3 or 4 year old computers and older, some with reasonably fast processors, that won't run Puppy v2.12 and later, but will run 2.11 and earlier, that I've started working on a derivative of 2.10professional for use on such computers.
This is an advance notice so that duplication can be avoided if someone else is thinking along the same lines. It isn't an indication that there is something able to be shared at this stage. It's in bits and pieces
The rationale is that there is a lot of customisation that has already gone into this particular puppy derivation.
I'm working on two that use different flavours of icons, in the way that WhoDo did with 2.15ce and Ez-Pup which I've applied to 2.15 and 2.16 with great success.
At the moment it will retain JWM as I'm more interested in getting the two products out in a testing format.
I've taken the liberty of doing some modifications to the icons and the menuing.
I've created a "Shutdown" 3-option dialogue, and am working on a "Control Panel" one (with maybe an "Administrative Tools" one, to please some of the Windows uses who may be attracted.
Thoughts are to include the 2.15 and the EZpup wallpers and to add a few of mine too, and to give you an idea of my thoughts, here is the partly worked on unit with a mixture of icons from Rhino's original design, Warren's from 215ce, and mine - all in the splendid 2.15 format
The full-sized 1280x1024 desktop can be seen here
The shutdown dialogue looks like this...
The menuing will be a compromise between the cascading menus for JWM that I experimented with last year, and those with 2.10pro.
We owe a lot to the time and dedication put into this project about a year ago by Rhino. Thanks, mate
And the substitution of the nicer looking icewm MAY (not promised) become a fait accompli, but please no urging to do it
Puppy is a great and versatile product, I believe. I would also like to do one I've musingly called pupbuntu for the benefit of ubuntu users (I know a couple in the US) who need a faster live distro that does most things

So what happened to this particular derivitive? did it die?
Would like to know if it is still out there somewhere.

Hello, e_mattis.
It evolved into Puppy Classic 2.17 and is now maintained by ttuuxxx. Please see :

HI.
If anyone is interested in business apps for Puppy, a buddy and I are doing research and try-outs on the more recent stuff, here : http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=82649 and here : http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=83572 (this latter thread for the more technical aspects of databasing).
The discussion is in French, however the links are in URL, a universal language. As well, since we don't have the gift of multi-location, if one or a few English-speaking members would mirror or summarize our results here, -- or even better, do more research and reports with a view to collaborate to a possible "Business Puppy" package (that's our goal) --, you're more than welcome to do so.
Sincerely,
musher0
