flysnclient works or stays off when selected through a reboot.
pppoe attempted install since heard was problematic. I do not use it but did get working once in another pup. I cannot confirm it does not work as may have incorrect settings if someone wants to confirm.

Since I left office applications out, I gave possibility to install what you need and use. I tested the Libre Office 3.4.1 sfs from the Polarpup first page link. It worked. I dont know if the fix I made is needed in dpup but it does not harm.
Iguleder has installed goffice and abiword from the squeeze repo. They need some dependencies also, but they work. Iguleder tested and posted that he couldnt find problems with squeeze repo appications.
I can post those needed dependencies if somebody wants them. You can find helpful remarks from /root/.packages/DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS file. There is clear notes what dependencies you need for abiword, goffice and gnumeric. Iguleder has done splendid job when he created his specs file. It is so clear.
But I will use anyway Libre Office. Soon they should post the next version if it is not already announced. I havent checked.

I still like JWM but Enlightenment is a nice change-of-pace.There is a bit of a learning curve though.
Guess I'll do a quick frugal install......

Already requests. I just wanted to know if this is useful. There is possibility that dpup will be improved with wishes from users....
Dave S. It is great to get this kind feedback what works. In the future, I dont have this much time to play and test with dpup.
My vacation stops tonight. Back to the work and less time with Puppy.

Dave S. You could try how well Frisbee works. I really dont know much how well SNS and Frisbee co-operate in dpup. Not much experience. For me Frisbee has worked fine. There is now 2 dhcpcd included as I explained in Iguleders thread when I posted laptop-tools-all. And dpup had wpa_supplicant with all its own scripts. I really dont know yet what interferes with what.
I need more feedback.
I need more feedback.
Back from my fresh frugal install.

Looking pretty good.

Dave S. It can be the problem of my separate z...sfs which has those needed modules and firmwares. Some drivers work better when the kernel modules and firmwares are inside the main sfs.
I suspected that there might come problems with separate kernel module sfs, but that separation also speeds things and you dont load to the ram all modules and it saves ram also.
So....maybe you will need build with kernel modules and firmwares inside the main sfs.
