WORK IN PROGRESS

Warning

No third party drivers are included yet, stuff like wireless may fail.
Designed for modern PCs. My conky configuration, squashfsLZMA and transparencies will cause slowdowns on older PCs (Disable them from "Menu>Preferences>DesktopSessionSettings" then logout)
Do not ever launch alsaconf(Alsa sound wizard) if X is running.
UTF-8: KDE 3.5.x(not included) wont let you type(kate, konqueror, kwrite, etc.) special characters like á, é, í, ó, ú, ï, ö, etc.
UTF-8: Pmusic can't play files if the filename or path has á, é, í, ó, ú, ï, ö, etc.
Dillo2 is the only one web browser in the iso. Install seamonkey/firefox/flash from http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-4/
There is no JWM/IceWM, to start X use 'xwin startlxde'

Perfect, something with the newer kernel. Do you plan on updating to the 4.1.2 release?

[wow]

Maybe later, I don't need those fixes http://puppylinux.com/blog/?viewDetailed=00515 , but this iso includes some of them (Pmount fix, 3rd SFS bugfix1.2, modem fix, Pmetatagger 2.1, Bugfix for /tmp/versioncleanup, ssb module added to initrd)

Now I need time to make SFS's with more xorg and dri drivers, kernel sources, another devx_xxx.sfs and i18n translations.

[MU]

xorg 7.4 supports many new Ati graficscards, that made problems with older versions.
If I remember well, it took 2 years to develop 7.4.
So for users of such new Ati cards this might be the best puplet around.

For others too, of course, the features look fantastic!
Great release, wow
Mark

[raffy]

It's LXDE-based and released during recession, so maybe call it LXR.

Downloading now - thanks a lot, Wow.

[droope]

67 mb???


67 mb????????

[prit1]

Wow ...

Thanks a lot for all your work on this pupplet. I tried it out and loved it. Definitely will go on my favorites list. Thanks again for sharing this with us.

Just one hurdle for me. I was trying ndiswrapper from the network wizard, and it complained that ndiswrapper module was not found. Did this get removed as well?

[Lobster]

From Barrys Blog - he is also taking an interest in NOP . . .

[divisionmd]

Hello All,

- Cool - looking forward to testing this.

- However the download link did not seem to work ?

Best regards,
Johan

Interesting. Anyone who removes Seamucky deserves my attention. Installed Skipstone, but it required additional manipulation beyond my ken. Dillo & Netsurf are terrific, though. Fast small and efficient we like.
The plethora of apps leads to confusion amongst the plebs. Took too long to find the Network setup, for example. Apart from some re-ordering amongst the menu entries, I'd suggest this item always deserves its own icon, preferably in the tray - it's the first thing everyone reaches for.
Nevertheless, eleven out of ten for getting back to reality with a 67Mb d/l; should enable all those poor DUN folks to re-enter the fray. Nice that someone cares this much.

[aragon]

also i do expect a yes, is the kernel

- multicore enabled?

is it configured with tickless idle?

thanks
aragon

[Dougal]

What are all those rgba patches? Something required for compositing to work?
