Page 50 guys, wow we've sure went the distance on this version of puppy, I'm wondering if we will hit a 100, lol Probably my longest thread to date that I started. Kind of cool.

Also If anyone wants another GUI project, there's a real good recovery program a 38kb pet and it needs a gui, lol If anyone builds it, I'll put it into the next release, stuff like that could really save a lot of hard work for people. Well the link is http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=33521 and it comes with directions, its just to make the GUI. Have fun, ok I get back to work , LOL

Hi ttuuxxx
Tried pburn-2.4.3. It nags for pfilesearch on start up but this didn't affect burning data including multisession & ISO's. I don't burn audio or video so others might want to test.
Great idea about 'burn ISO' & 'blank disc' buttons, that & data is all I use a burner for too.

Hi Guys it took a lot of tries and I got it working, Found a couple new tiny bugs and i'm fixing them Smile

But the good news is that it looks like the locales errors are gone, it added some weight to distro, due to the extra locales I added and other parts put it should be changeable now Smile

Also its like 4am, I would like to get this fixed and uploaded tonight, Hope the wife doesn't get up, LOL or I'll be up the creek without a paddle, lol

Ok almost 5:30am, lol here's the link and I'll do some sort of release info tomorrow Smile

http://www.ttuuxxx.gposil.com/2.14X/iso/214X5.iso
md5sum 608f12f48e1972a3154f8961ed026d3b /root/214X5.iso

Next release I would like to fix that one missing shape error,
-Maybe compile or update gxine & Abiword
- Add Simple mail since it accidentally got delete when I manually updated FireFox,lol
-Maybe add pburn.

off the top my head
this release has Pup-shots, url-sniffer, small version of gtksum, gqview, the other image viewer, xfburn, pnethood, hardinfo, and a lot of fixes, and backend libs, some new icons and mimes.
That's a good start Smile

Below is a fix for the pet package manager, the reason it was broken was due to the locales, issues, puppy 4+ series uses its own locales for the package manager so things like this did get choppedout when I went and got other locales.

Just downloaded and burned, so quick first impression and a bug.

Firefox 3.5 seems pretty solid . 214x5 is also using a lot less resources than 4.20 or 4.21.

Haven't used much yet but found that PetGet will not work from the menu.The first screen comes up, to chose to install or uninstall a package, etc. but it will go no further. Works fine from the console though.

Great job as usual.
