changed --back to UI_ziggy for PPM..

removed --custom resizepfile due to lack of gettext
removed --custom remasterpup2

NOTE: For this release we'll leave the jury out on the "BUG".. we can employ SFR's
work around later if need be. AUFS is updated to GIT 17 Jan, 2013 so maybe it is
an AUFS bug? We'll see...
EDIT: no, added in workaround ,see http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 251#682251
This is conditional on, not being PUPMODE=5, then being kernel >=3.2, then on the base filesystem being ntfs, vfat, ext2.

known issues:
There is a bug in the video wizard that lets some cards through that aren't nvidia or ATI/AMD,
billtoo reported this, will be fixed in next version. Also tallboy asked why it wont work in
pfix=ram, well that's by design and wont be changing, but I will make the gui more informative.
Xorg is a temperemental beast, try the fixed Xrandrshell from xorgwizard gui or quicksetup to
change resolution.
NV-3(n) (fx-5200) nvidia cards fail with nouveau, it' s a bug with screen drawing..USE:

Code: Select all

nouveau.noaccel=1

on the kernel line (menu.lst, syslinux.conf, extlinux.cfg) or at puppy pfix=ram.

Sounds more to me like HW/media failure. The kernel config is not much different to precise. It boots fine on mine with intel graphics. You got another machine to try?

James C... rest please!! (mick takes his doctor's hat off now)

- Gimp - no menu for this one either, so this is probably not an issue with the pets.

No message that Flash is missing.
I used getflash to install, but still Opera wouldn't play youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuLHXLAG_l0)
