upgrade 1.01 -> 1.02 bugs
Dear Barry,
I wanted to upgrade Puppy from 101 to 102 and after that he did'nt recognize my mouse (nor my touchpad). I removed /etc/mousedevice and ran xwin to give him the information again (usb mouse with scroll wheel) but it didn't work. Mystery ...
I also tried a brutal installation of Xfree430 by copying the files from Puppy-Unleashed to my directories and the X server crashed. (by starting X from the the prompt, he indicated a "bus error"). I guess it is normal since I didn't configure anything. How to
use this package "xfree430" ? Do we have to add Xfree86+XF86config+ ... ?
Thank you for your help (and excuse me for my stupid questions).

Anyone else got a problem with usb mouse?
Migration to the 2.6 kernel is bound to have some glitches. There are different modules, and many that are the same name actually work differently.
I work with a serial mouse, and I have to erase /etc/mousedevice and configure the mouse every time I boot up Puppy.
I'm my case some of the files from /.usr were not moved to /tmp/USRREMOVED/. Puppy deleted them.
And when i tried to moved the fles from /tmp/USRREMOVED/ to /.usr using ROX it gave some errors (it said there were no space) so I moved them with the console.
I forgot to test de sound. my sound card have never worked with Puppy I'll check it out.

I did it again
I started from scratch with a pup001 Backup. And this time it upgraded well. I don't know what went wrong the first time. Both pup001 were the same.......
