Did a USB install of 5.4.9.2:
I had no problem connecting my wi driver with frisbee however every 30 seconds or so it disconnected and reconnected again so I had to abandon frisbee. (Thanks Barry for including frisbee)
After a number of unsuccessful attempts I finally established a connection using network wizard.
This just goes to show that this wl driver is a disaster as far as puppy is concerned.
Apart from that congratulations on a great os.

Frugal install to Flash drive
Posting from Precise 5.5 beta right now
Added 5 SFS (devx, poedit, libreoffice, java, wine)
Everything normal so far
For either official or derivative builds, Retrovol doesn't rise/low volume in my computer, how can I find out what sound card I have and set Retrovol to use it?
I like the new theme combination, it reminds me of Puppy 4.3.1

I like the new theme combination, it reminds me of Puppy 4.3.1 ].
Vicmz I have same opinion.
Desktop theme is very good. Old is Gold !. Also, I would like to inform you all that Precise Puppy 5.5 is excellent in all respects .

No, you are wrong. What Puppy has is correct. I was informed of this sometime ago, and it works for case of more than 16 partitions.- /dev/sda should be limited from 1 to 15
Major number '259' is explained in the Linux documentation:
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devices.txt
Nothing. Unfortunately, these are needed dependencies in Precise Puppy.- there are big files like LLVM, icudata, xul, flashplayer...what can be done ?
Yes, the yellow colour in a terminal is awful, but I don't know how to change it. Perhaps someone can hack the urxvt source code.- when doing for instance ls /dev/ram0 it displays in bright color not easily readable.
So? it is the Glipper package that has this.- /usr/local/share/pixmaps/ has only one file
That was deliberate. I think that there is an incompatibility between the two versions. The Ubuntu repo has both of these. 0.9.8 is included in the build for any pkgs that might be installed that need it, including some older PETs.- There is /lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 and /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 but 9.8 is not used

Yes, libssl.so.0.9.8 is essential. I have an important package (Mailwasher) that will not work with later versions.BarryK wrote:That was deliberate.

Apart from that, guvcview works on my laptop. The laptop's built-in camera works, get video, but no sound. Um, but I don't even know if my laptop has a built-in microphone, perhaps I have to plug one in.

OK, SNS now has a scrollbar if more than 11 wifi networks found.kurtdriver wrote:The Simple Network Setup script could really use a scrollbar, when using it in areas with many routers the list goes below the taskbar and the buttons, and passphrase input field are not visible.I agree.
Or at least put a scrollbar in the JWM theme chooser, so that having many themes won't expand the GUI from roof to floor -- at times I think the Exit button will reach China. The same happens in the Icon Set Chooser GUI, a scrollbar for that one would be great, too.
This is in Woof, committed and uploaded.

Precise 5.4.9.3 (k3.8.0)
Downloaded and installed Precise 5.4.93 (k3.8.0) on my ancient AMD Athlon 2 GB machine with NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 graphics card.
I noted the following problems:
1. report-video lists the driver as "nouveau" although I booted with nouveau.modeset=0. The usual problem of blank menus does not occur and xorg.conf reports "vesa," which is probably correct. glxgears reports 35 fps. Switching the driver to "nv" yields 40 fps. Still much too slow.
2. The proprietary NVIDIA 173.14.35 and 173.14.36 drivers fail to compile with an error message:
On the other hand, VirtualBox 4.2.4 compiles and runs perfectly.
3. Neither pnethood nor YASSM connect to a machine running Puppy (Slacko, Wary), but do connect to a Windows XP share.
4. Textmaker has the strange spell checking error I reported here:

most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files in

Manual frugal to an NTFS partition and booting via grub4dos on an SDcard.
Very fast and all the basics work as expected OOTB.
Extremely low resource usage.
Fantastic Puppy which to this very average user seems to be as good as can be reasonably expected.

Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.185 FPS

Computer
Processor 4x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 430 @ 2.27GHz
Memory 3103MB (101MB used)
Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)
(rev 01)
Audio Adapter USB-Audio - Sound Blaster X-Fi Go! Pro
I installed lxterminal and guvcview from ppm (guvcview works)
I compiled and made pets of several applications.
I installed pemasu's google-chrome-fix-for-deb-install-0.0.1.pet +
google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb, also installed opera_12.14.1738_i386.deb
I was unable to compile the ati propietary driver, it gave an error:
Supported adapter detected.
Check if system has the tools required for installation.
fglrx installation requires that the system have kernel headers.
/lib/modules/3.8.0/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system.
One or more tools required for installation cannot be found on the system.
Install the required tools before installing the fglrx driver.
Optionally, run the installer with --force option to install without the tools.
Forcing install will disable AMD hardware acceleration and may make your system
unstable. Not recommended.
Apart from not being able to install the ati driver every else is
working well so far.
