Version 1.8.7. See main post.
-Bugfix: The System Log report (var/log/messages) may become quite large over time and exceed the buffer limit of the PupSysInfo report window. In this release, the report will display the last 1300 lines of var/log/messages.

Hello radky,

Minor buglet

@line 449 in PupControl-bin, the label "Quickpet" should be "$FASTPET".

Maybe in the pinstall.sh you could backup /usr/sbin/wizardwizard to /usr/sbin/wizardwizard.orig and symlink /usr/local/PupControl/SS-control to /usr/sbin/wizardwizard. just a suggestion FWIW.

For those who will use Shinobar's new firstrun-1.9.9 of 3/12/2012, a minor compatibility fix is now (3/14/2012) included in PupControl-1.9 and PupControl-2.0. The updated pets are available on the first page of this thread, but the version numbers have not changed. Note: the updates are only required for those who will use Shinobar's new firstrun-1.9.9 (or greater).

Request a small change.

because all the recent Japanese versions has the frugalinstaller as the recommended installer.

And the explanation may be improper:

Because the frugalinstaller supports internal and external media including USB flash.

Thanks for improvements. Gets better and better!
Works great on Lucid 528.005 and Slacko. :D 8)
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:

About the only item I did not see (Using the version from Puppy Lupu 520), is one for SFS load on the fly.
What I would like to see is the Puppy Menu use PupControl in place of all of the menu items that it accesses. It would give Puppy some polish and save hunting through the menu and sub-menus for stuff.
At times, the menu in Puppy seems to be growing into a monster.
And PupControl would sure clean it up if Puppy was built with it in place of the menu items it replaces.
BTW, Great Job! :D

Thank you 8-bit. :)

You will find support for SFS-Load in the current release.

PupControl-2.2 has many enhancements that were not available in early releases.
