Is OSS disabled in the kernel ? It should be because it has been replaced with ALSA.

I did a manual frugal install of 5.1.99 to hp desktop pc.
On first boot I used probe and desktop came up using the vesa driver.
Wired network and sound good.
Rebooted creating save file and loading devx + kernal source sfs.
Rebooted again increasing save file size.
Installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-280.13.run

new version Quick Launch 1.3

I found a way to deal with a lot of windows open.
I just click a button and the problem magically disappears

It should install easily.
Remember Ctrl-shift-L launches it.

Notice to anyone trying to use 'ppp', for example dialup Internet, somehow a PET got left out of the build. Install this:

Wary 5.1.99
Installed firefox 4.0.1 from ppm.
The fonts look ugly in comparison to seamonkey. No antialiasing maybe ?

Upgraded Warysave on K6 machine to 5.1.99 beta. Error message on startup about missing backdrop file (default.jpg IIRC), selected one from wallpaper setter and no further problems on subsequent boots.

No obvious problems noticed after the upgrade. Will test frugal and full install if I can get the damned machine to start (PSU is flaky ATM).

I assume that ffmpeg is still the i686 version at this time and it'll be replaced with an i486-compatible build when you get the time to do it.

In Firefox, you often have to modify the font setup.

Open Edit > Preferences > Content .
Make the default font DejaVu Sans.
Under Advanced, change all those fonts to DejaVu Sans.
UNcheck "Allow pages to choose their own fonts".

The only problem so far was with the universal installer,it gave an
error about the hard disk being mounted when it wasn't and then exited.
No problem with manual frugal + grub4dos.

I also made several versions of the default background in mtpaint
using different colors to make it a little easier on the eyes.

I installed Right-click 5.2.5 and it mostly works

but I noticed that MD5sum is not possible
because gtkhash is not installed.

See that some derivatives are having touchpad issues. Had been using USB mouse on old Cq C550 chassis FULL install. Decided to reconnect touchpad. Initially started working, but after a reboot following day, double(or single) tapping stopped working. Fiddled with settings to no avail. Haven't seen this with Wary before.

Some time ago, I inherited a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 (manufactured in 2000):

Pentium III (coppermine) 700 MHz, 256 MB RAM, Video Driver: Savage, 1024x768 pixels, 12 GB ATA hard drive.

I ran Wary 5.14.1 off the live-CD first to make sure it functioned with this antique. It did, right ought of the box - sound, either net connection, video driver - absolutely superb!

I then wiped the hard disk clean of Windows 98 garbage and reformatted to ext2 with GParted adding a swap partition. Except for the video (glxgears: ca. 150 FPS) the machine is quite fast. SeaMonkey is a bit sluggish - flash video a bit choppy. I will eventually install Opera.

The WLAN connection (RTL 8187 USB) was a bit tricky to set up (but isn't it always?). Eventually, using the Network Wizard, I got it to connect at boot .

Connected to a mini hi-fi system, this is the perfect machine for the guest room.

Curious. The rest of the Puppyworld is going bananas about touchpad issues but four days on and my report above hasn't attracted a nibble...
