Yes, I am very happy with 5.10.003. I just need to get the hang of remastering so I can make a striped down version. Sounds like it should be easy - just use the remove built-ins.pet and the remaster tool in puppy control center, but the CD's I produce all go to kernel panic. I just keep plugging along. I really appreciate all you guys who have dedicated so much time to this project. Keep up the great work!

Grace & peace

Chris

OK, more on the saga of Vala compiling

Without making a meal of it, this is how I got Vala compiling to succeed in Lucid 511.

Installed Playdayz's pet from here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet-packages-lucid/libgtk_DEV-2.20-lucid.pet

Then installed this file:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i386/libglib2.0-dev/download

At this stage still no Vala compile.

Then decided to use the latest devx from Wary 5 replacing the Lucid 511 devx.

Vala then compiled OK

Valide however is still broken. This may need a re-compile at least.

Anyway, it's now possible to use Vala in Lucid 511. Geany works OK as an IDE for Vala. Would be nice to get Valide working though.

Would be interesting to have a look inside the Wary 5 devx and see where the differences are between this devx and the Lucid 511 one.

Instant Update 002 for Lucid Puppy 5.1.1 is posted in Lupu News. It again addresses modem problems.

luci-218 full install to replay my internet connection problem at this thread on
page 8

for each step I made I took a screenshot and they became 27....which makes 85 MB o`pics and 22 MB o`zip for the moment

on 4.3.1 there are over 30 screenshots....

while at 4.3.1 the modem has to be plugged in after startup

5.1.x wants it plugged in before bootup and after pupdial is configured it does not want to be [Test]`ed while at 4.3 series I have to [Test] the modem at pupdial always before [CONNECT to Internet]

luci-218 puppybrowser showed blank pages first so I decided to install the midori.pet (s) that were posted on
page 9 and page 19
that lead to
page for midori and other

( 5 MB full midori http://puppy-development.googlecode.com/files/midori_shared-2.2-93.pet that I downloaded someday after the 24th of August )

starting midori then I encountered first also probs with a blank page but entering "http://www.google.com" in the address line and several times [Enter]key all of a sudden opened the ports or gates Very Happy

also puppybrowser now showed www.google.com

Ooops :while printing this a patch is posted .... Shocked

@ everyone

Is there any problem if I install both F-prot and ClamAv in Puppy 5.1.1?

F-prot is the one mentioned few posts back by PlayDaz and ClamAv is the one linked here

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=57630

Will it cause any problem?

@ playdayz

I read that F-prot is not good at detecting Linux virus and that ClamAV is better in that and F-prot is used for detecting virus in another Windows partitions.

So I thought if I have a little time to spare, I could scan my system with both AVs

I am not sure if ClamAV is on access because I use it via the console

I guess, it is similar to F-prot i.e on demand

Maybe I am wrong and someone can correct me.

Hi chrismt and playdayz,

I can confirm that Clam is on demand only.

From my readings it will be a miracle if anyone has a Linux virus.

I hope Windows users have on access or on execution protection.

Some Wine users use avast!. I use Lucid Puppy and downloaded the debian version and it installed in the same way as a pet. However, see http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=449288&sid=c8feae5b267670c3e4ae341dd6cf514e#449288
to get it to run.

Those on dial-up should not use it because the daily updates are full (not incremental as with Clam).

For a quick check with Wine I use http://download2.emsisoft.com/malaware/MalAware.exe
which downloads instantaneously and takes some 30 seconds to run.

My regards

PS Evidently Linux is not immune to Rootkits. Ubuntu has Rootkit packages, but I read that they are not thought to be very effective.
I use Firefox, and WoT (Web of Trust), NoScript and openDNS for extra, though not perfect, protection.
