Open QuickPet then click on the "News" tab then click on the the "Lucid Puppy News" bar in the middle of the window.

That will bring you here:
http://www.diddywahdiddy.net/LupuNews/

And you will see this information there:
Instant Update 002 for Lucid Puppy 5.1.1 -> UpdateLupu511-002
This is a small update with fixes for some new wifi cards using WPA and with fixes for some analog modems.
Click to Download and then Click to Install.

Announcing the release of Lucid Puppy Linux 5.1.1!
Lucid 5.1.1 -> http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... pu-511.iso

Well the problem is that I don't have that "news" tab, but I do have a "update tab" which opens up a browser page which tells me the same thing as you, which is to go to the news tab.

My version of quickpet is v2.0 and my lucid puppy is the 5.0.1

Thank you !

Lucid is a 5.1 plus there were 3 updates, 001, 002, and 003.

You may want to bring the OS up to date and try again. It is only a guess that this may solve the problem.

If I want to upgrade from 5.0.1 to 5.1 do I have to format and to do a fresh install or is there a way to update the system ?

You will want to go to this thread:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=419879

Essentially, presuming you have a Frugal-type install, you download the ISO to your HDD, click on it to open it, copy three files to the directory where your older three system files are, and reboot. It will update your system.

But ask on that thread as better-informed folks than me are there - including those who put Lucid 5.1 together and who are tweaking it daily.

So if I don't want to do a full upgrade there is no way altogether for me to update some packages ?

I thought the 2.0 branch was to be continued independently of the 2.1 branch.
Am I mistaken ?

Thank you for your answers.

I am really not the best guy to ask - you need to go to this thread and ask:
