1. "(3) Click on the renamed package and extract all files."
Got the following when I tried to do that:
tar -zxvf '/00/Captura.tgz'
gzip: stdin has more than one entry--rest ignored
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Works fine for most as frugal on Futjisu 2.6 GHz with 512 MB ram.
On AAO the microzog wireless mouse works just great of the CD, but is lagging and jerky after full install and USB stick install as well.
USB installed on win 32 partition 2GB.
Big bug, when chosing to save the file, it gets stuck "saving" led blinking forever, cold hard boot mandatory.
On rebooting, it hasn't saved anything.
wifi running but need to refresh twice the scan to see all APs.
This problem wasn't ocuring with 417.
Sound works.
Back at it for more...

Now properly sets Matrox G550 card to 1024x768 at 60hz.

Properly indetifies Adaptec AIC-7880 and AIC-7890 SCSI chipsets.
Also correctly identifies drives and Dell DLT-1 tape drive.

Drivers from Forum for mount.cifs download OK and installs Pet OK.
I can mount cif shares on my NAS server. Maybe include in pkg.
Mount.cifs worked and downloaded OK under Puppy 4.2.1.

Console rxvt screen much, much better with Black letters on White.

Comment on initial boot screen. If someone is having issues and has
to use the pfix=nox option the graphics for Keyboard, Country and
Time Zone still come up? Depending on machine troubles video
driver or otherwise is this good idea? Perhaps no graphics at all
should come up if you use pfix=nox since you are looking for only
the shell prompt?

Question - NIC is indentified as 3c59x when is 3c918/3c509b
compatable. It seems to work OK.

Problem - Identifies Plextor PX-204A CD-RW IDE as a SCSI device.

Problem - After getting Crystal 4237b audio working using lagecy
cs4236 and producing output after a reboot I notice the audio ICON
has disappeared from the taskbar. Running through procedure does
not restore audio ICON and now there is no output. When audio
was working running 'aqualung' after playing tune when exited the
desktop application disappears however the process keeps running.

Problem - From rxvt console 'vi' command causes Segmentation Fault.

Problem - Downloading HP drivers from files foo2zjs-i486 and
hpijs-2.8.2_static-1-patched421 does not now show HP PSC
series like PSC 1310. Under 4.2.1 it worked.

Problem - SeaMonkey 1.1.17 playback of online videos from CNN
and YouTube are very choppy with hesitation. OK with earlier version
of SeaMonkey on Puppy 4.2.1 on another machine.

Problem - Puppy Universal Installer always identifies installation
partition as ext4 even when it is Gparted to ext2 or ext3. Also,
selecting SCSI says Not Implemented so I tried internal IDE/Sata.

Problem - Grub fails on ext4 partition. Grub fails to SCSI drive
as sdb and leaves boot MBR on sda with a prompt and dosen't boot.
Could not load XP on sda had to use DOS fdisk /mbr to recreate.

More testing to follow...

"run the dotpup.sh script"
I'm a newbie, never done that before; how is it done?
(a) Right click on the dotpup.sh file and "Open" didn't work.

(b) Ran a terminal in the folder holding the file and entered the command dotpup, and that didn't work either.

It's not Barry's problem I know, but I cannot get Firefox/Swiftfox 3.5.2 to run on 4.3b1 advanced kernel 2.6.29. I got no errors from the command line, and ldd shows that all the modules can be found, but every time I try to start firefox from the command line I get an error message that firefox is already running. yes, there is a firefox-bin in Pprocess. If I kill it and try again the very same thing happens again Same with swiftfox 3.5.2

I installed myself as per http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=45030

The three libraries that need to be added to 4.2.1 are dbus, dbus-glib, and libgio, but adding these three to 4.3b1k2.6.29.6 does not work. Help, I need my swiftfox Wink

Now, i will test seamonkey 2.0b1 and also test kernel 2.6.25..
Seamonkey 2.0b1 does not work either; ldd shows several files that are not found.

I tested with 4.3b1 k2.6.25.16 and Firefox runs correctly there; I installed as per the instructions in the link a couple of lines above this.

@playdayz

I even went to the extent of compiling Firefox-3.5.2 from the mozilla-1.9.1 source.

It just wont work in ppa-423 (or ppa-422). It wouldn't work with 'spup' I built in July either, k 2.6.29.4.

However, my compile worked fine with puppy 4.2.1.

Will be interesting to see how seamonkey 2 goes.

#libgio is there, but I've dev_x loaded
