Insidious Puppy 001
Went ahead and did a frugal install of 002 on the old P4 test box. Everything is working pretty well except scrolling in Firefox is pretty erratic.SeaMonkey is much smoother.

Nice, nice program with unlimited possibilities... I would say this Puppy has the potential of going beyond even 520 ! and, one's not at the mercy of the Ubuntu system where versions are 'time-limited' so to speak.
One question, the default FONT seems to be a bit 'thin' and hard to read both at the desktop and on the Internet... How would one go about making 002 have the Font-Look that say... 511 or 520 has?
"Thanks"

Thank you of the feedback. About font. Good catch. I added font-improvements-for-Puppy-Five-0.0.2.pet, which is Sit Heel Speak`s created package with extra fonts and fonts.conf and local.conf hacks. It has font hinting and antialiasing features, which might make fonts look too thin to some.
I have used same package in Snow Puppies also. I havent expiremented with package more profoundly.

Click and drag does not work
I have done a search of the forum and could not find anything similar.
Thanks for a great puppy. I've just done a frugal install of insidious 002 and its working really well. I have one small problem on my laptop. Left click and drag on the track pad does not work. The track pad and buttons work individually but not together. I am not able to Drag and Drop or drag to resize windows. The laptop is Dell D620 Dual Core.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Probably wont help, but sometimes my touchpad comes oversensitive. So when I am writing, touchpad autoselects and removes my text all the time.
Only way so far to correct the troublesome behavior has been to remove /root/.flSynclient config file and reboot. Then I launch menu - desktop settings - Flsynclient and reconfigure my touchpad.

I Don't Think this an insidious Pup 002 Specific Bug, I've had this Once or twice B4 w/ other Puppies, perhaps a yea' or so ago, I'm Not Sure or wot I did @ the time 2 resolve it, maybe Just Re - install, But if this is going 2 be an intermittent issue I'd Much Rather Understand, wots happening & Howto Fix it!

PupDial cannot find my modem with 001.
It is a simple USRobotics V.92 56K Faxmodem for dial-up, connected to COM1. Other Puppies are OK with it (i.e Quirky 1.2 Retro and Puppy 4.3.1), and other Linuxes, too. Pressing "probe" doesn't detect any modems, even though I also have a Winmodem that is detected on Quirky.
I have verified that the /dev/ttyS0 device exists, has the proper permissions, major/minor numbers, and so on.
Since PupDial has never failed me, I have never faced this issue before. What should I check next?
Thank you.

Oh, never mind: I found it. And I'm happily online with 001 as I type this.
Kernel modules weren't loaded, duh. For anybody interested, I did:
Together they pulled in a few other modules, and voilà, serial ports.

I downloaded Insidious 002. Ran md5 check- ok. Burnt iso to cd, using slowest speed possible (=8x). Put cd into drive and powered up, but I get the following:
ISOLINUX 3.7.3 2009-01-20 ETCD Copyright (C) 1994-2008 H Peter Anvin
Could not find kernel image: linux
Boot:
I've checked what's on the cd, and it is ten files just like Wary.
Any ideas on what's wrong??
gerry

Check the md5sum of your download. The Iso has isolinux.cfg with content:
Code: Select all
default puppy
display boot.msg
prompt 1
timeout 50
F1 boot.msg
F2 help.msg
F3 help2.msg
label puppy
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd
