Thanks, that's a useful one.

It would be nice if the startup message would fork (yaf-splash ... &) so that the remainder of the processes could start to allow usage of tray applets such as SNS and also to click to start instead of mouseover. I am often inadvertently mousing over the damn thing and unintentionallly getting the popup message, but sometimes intentionally (though I really just end up closing the window) - to get access to the tray applets - very quirky.

sidebar: I have been working on a puppy script library called bashbox that incorporates(almost) all woof scripts as functions (and many more) in a single file... having non-function characters (such as .,-,...) does make it a bit harder. For instance my version is yaf_splash (which gets around the duplicate naming also) So far it seems quicker for most larger scripts, compression is better and it is easy to work with using geany's "code-folding" & great for refactoring to reduce bloat ... other than that it works pretty much the same as busybox (either by symlinks or by bashbox <function> [args])

Well, I have had my toe in the water long enough, decided to jump in. Wary 5.0-final has been released, see announcement:

Copied files directly from the 28 Dec iso to my Wary 104 partition. Upgraded beautifully, and all is running fine.

Problem with ISA sound card - FULL install doesn't remember ALSA settings and tray icon shows x-out each boot up. Probably need to manually write in some settings? Normally, expect everything saved in FULL installations? Same with Final 5.0.
Help appreciated.
