Hello.
I am trying beta 1.

First boot seems OK.
Second boot with a save file seems OK. (However, the message "sfs_load: Depmod..." appears.)
At third boot, "sfs_load: Depmod..." keeps me waiting for a while.

I would like to know if such a behavior is normal.

Regards.

Congrats on Beta 1 - astonishing what can be achieved in only 84MB!!

A few "improvement" things I've noticed in unstructured testing:

- the partition booted from does not show in PcManFM - [LATER] actually some sort of conflict between /mnt and /media - any partition in /mnt does not get displayed

- some menus are alphabetical ordered, some are reverse-alphabetical....would be better to be consistent

- i'd prefer single click to be the default in PcManFM but that's just a personal preference

- tazpup builder - custom-packages folder is needed for cloud based build to add in packages not in slitaz repos - e.g. pFind

Cheers

@thinkpadfreak depmod normally runs when loading custom sfs modules
@peebee I will check that

thanks for feedback

Thank you for response.

I use adrv*.sfs, which is a Japanese language pack prepared by one of the Puppy Linux Japanese Forum members.

I think adrv*.sfs is different from extra sfs modules.
But, just in case, I removed it, and booted tazpup in its original (English) environment.

As I stated before, the message "sfs_load: Depmod..." appears at every boot except first boot, though I have no extra sfs modules added.

Had been away for the weekend, so just installed the tazpup beta-1 today. Manual frugal install to Sandisk Ultra Fit 32GB Flash drive, using the existing save folder. All is working well.

Congratulations mistfire on this beta release. Very nice!

I did not try tazpup since update 5 or so in the beginning.
I've installed beta1 on a i5 laptop. Just had to add a drv.sfs because it was missing firmware, I don't know which.
Now it runs very well on this machine! I will play with it some more.

Big congrats with tazpup BETA, mistfire!! In my opinion tazpup is a milestone acquisition for Puppy!!!

Hello

I noticed that there are bugs on tazpanel cgi scripts as well as in tazpkg. Right now, l'm trying to fix and improve it.

[mistfire]

tazpanel was now improved. It works better than on vanilla one. More details pretty soon.

[mistfire]

Here are changes in Tazpanel which is way more different than vanilla

1. It can manage more than one NICs
2. Wifi scan is now more interactive by ajax rather than refreshing the whole page

3. Manage proxy support
4. All functionalities was works better than the vanilla one.

Does anybody know the command for menu refreshing?

Hello.

I tried booting TazPuppy beta 2.

After booting successfully, I wanted to save to a hard drive, but could not.
I got a message saying "no suitable partition to save to."

The hard drive consists of four partitions:
sda1 (ntfs, windows boot partition)
sda2 (ntfs, windows c: drive)
sda4 (ntfs, windows recovery data)
sda5 (ext2, containing Xenialpup)

I created a directory for TazPuppy in sda2 and placed vmlinuz, initrd, main sfs, and zdrv there.
I have multiple puppies installed in sda2.

I would like to know if there is anything wrong with the configuration above.

Regards.

I got the same message....system shutdown with no savefolder created.....all my partitions are Linux formatted

New manual frugal install on USB Flash drive. I installed Intel 7265 wifi card firmware. First shutdown successfully created save folder on Flash drive (sdb2 formatted as ext4). Save folder loaded OK on reboot.


Edit: Subsequent saves/reboots OK also.
