lag0a,

Squashfs.ko is contained in the initrd.gz, it's copied to save file at first boot along with all of the other initrd modules. It's OK to delete it, it's always loaded in the initrd.gz anyway.

I downloaded and installed the Audacity 1.3.13b pet from the official repo but received an error message regarding missing libwx_gtktu_richtext-2.8.so.0.

I'm sure to find it floating somewhere around the traps, but thought i'd let you know.

You need to install the wxwidgets pet. If you use the Puppy Package Manager it should let you know about other needed packages.

Done and dusted now, thanks Kirk....all good.

I didn't use the PPM, i was browsing the pets on your repo and just grabbed it while i was there.

Pardon my ignorance if this is a doofus question, but....what would i have to do to install more filters in Gimp? Would most filter scripts work in 64-bit as well as 32-bit?

I've been using Puppy 421 for years. But my new laptop (Panasonic CF-C1) is too new for it... So I've been trying the newer Puppy versions and derivatives. Fatdog runs the best; it's the only puppy I've found that correctly identifies the networking and display hardware. Everything seems great except for one big problem: Java applications all crash with the same type of segfault:

Kirk and Jamesbond

I just assembled this desktop PC today and Fatdog64-521 is the first OS ever installed (frugal). This GPU has been giving some Ubuntu 11.04 users the fits and I expected major trouble getting any Puppy to work with it.
I am deliriously happy to report that all 4 cores were recognized, sound, and the integrated graphics were no problem at all thanks to your ati-catalyst-11.8-3.0.3.pet. This thing runs like lightning.

Installed 521 on my HTPC. It's great, I can tell a lot of thought was put into every aspect of this distro; it's really quite the achievement.

Love the "Puppy-style" notifications!

I started really using Fatdog tonight and have only found a very few bugs/glitches, mostly cosmetic.

Universal installer says ext3 is ext4 but still creates a proper ext3 save file.
Drive icons - right click unmount all does not work

aplay - no sound
Pmusic - no sound.
Xine works perfectly so far.

OpenBox right click menu:
Geany from menu opens a document named %F
Two Gimp entries under Graphic
Clicking either one gives GIMP Message Opening ‘/root/%U failed...
The panel menu & desktop icon open Gimp OK.

lxpanel menu is missing 5 icons.
Document->PeasyPDF Help, but no PeasyPDF menu (both OpenBox and lxpanel menus)

I am getting some weird effects when dragging a window across the screen with OpenBox, but not JWM. As the window moves across the screen it leaves a trail of two or three windows that are redrawing from top to bottom very slowly, but doesn't happen all of the time. Confused

Strange.

Thanks Bill, forgot about your CPUtemp pet. I uploaded it to the repo.

Just FYI, the OpenBox menu just threw a '/root/%F: No such file or directory error' before Gnumeric opens. Again no error from the lxpanel menu or desktop icon.
