Racy 5.5RC2 has the 3.0.66 Linux kernel, configured without PAE support (so only accesses first 4MB of RAM), and for a i686 CPU. It has SMP (multi-core) support.
I think that should read:

first 4GB of RAM

Oops. Thanks, fixed.

Wary will work, Racy won't.

Racy Puppy version 5.4.93, released Mar 2013

Using an E732 laptop - 2gig ram and an i3 proc.

Manual frugal to an ntfs partition and booting via grub4dos on an SDcard.

Top indicates virtually zero resource usage and Hardinfo shows a temp average of 44c.

Looks and feels nice - all the basics working OOTB.

(5.4.91 seems a tiny tad snappier - guessing that is because of the different kernel) (must try both on my 10yr old Acer laptop)
(must also try latest Wary on the old Acer - maybe more appropriate)

Luvly Puppy - report FYI - many thanks - Ray

Wary5.4.90

After years of having a nice simple "Grub Legacy";
Wary is now saddled with a convoluted, confusing, unusable,
version known as "Kent Robotti Grub Legacy".

Make that thing go away!!!

Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.
Eeepc 8g 701, 900Mhz, 1Gb ram.
Full installs

Racy 5.5 RC2 on Dell D430,

Everything looks good,

When I was doing a remaster using live cd it would not finish because it said there was no boot loader I tried 4 times to do a remaster even once with virtual cd and the same thing happened.

I do like the look and feel.


Cheers

Racy-5.4.91

#70 Post by sszindian »

Racy-5.4.91

Running like an old trooper!

Can't find any major faults with it at all so far.

One minor thing... the fonts in Seamonkey Browser Headings could be a tad bit larger say maybe at least a #12 or #13 (good heavy text though, not chicken-scratch :) By the way, nice larger and heavier fonts on the rest of Racy... 'thanks.'

From my end, I'd say she's about ready for the 5.5 label!

I have had a go at making a .pet of the nvidia 173.14.36 legacy driver for Racy with kernel 3.0.66

Tested here on my GeForce FX 5200 card and works OK.

Please advise about anything that needs changing or improving in the pinstall and puninstall scripts though, as I am not certain about those.

Folks constantly confuse FONTS with 'font size', correctly named POINT SIZE

Of course one can have larger fonts, but they will look different, not necessarily be bigger.
It's important to adopt correct terminology usage for anyone engaged in serious document composition, editing and information dissemination.

Hello Barry,

(Racy5.4.93)
Is it possible to put the same nice wallpaper of Wary (default) in Racy?


I think it's a really great one.

Thanks for everything!

Freco.

A small but nice addition:

If you have the latest gtkdialog, you will have a new icon for gtkdialog windows, /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/gtkdialog.png

This can be replaced with another file of the same name, the puppy logo for example.. as I have done in Akita, it's a nice looking touch IMHO...

Thanks, I have added the pet to the official 'wary5' repo on ibiblio, uploading it now.

Wow... it's nice to know we have someone here that is so so politically-correct and terminology-smart!

Butafter working with these boxes for 30-years, I believe that anyone (all dev's included) who read my post and uses Seamonkey Browser in Racy would know 'Exactly' what I was referring to!

Maybe because you're so technology-smart, you can suggest, or better yet, even do a fix? I seem to forget... just exactly what are your contributions to the Puppy community (besides correcting others)?

There was one thing that I did not mention in my post earlier is that in doing the remaster I did notice that the script did not copy anything from the live cd.

When I looked into the puppylivecdbuild folder the only thing that was there was the sfs file.

Typical transatlantic attitude - quick to take offense, completely misunderstanding the meaning of 'good will to all men, help a fellow traveller along the way' and met with a hail of abuse.
If you ever get around to writing some worthwhile text in a quality word processor, you'll see the correct usage of 'font' and 'point size' in the drop down boxes.
Now, since you raised the matter, let's look at your record on the Forum. Umm, yes, joined 2010, contributions 455. Wow, a really committed heavyweight of long standing.
So, let's stop the abuse and try to run a well organised Forum with correct terminologies, correct spelling and grammar, absence of text-speak - did I forget anything? Oh, yes, good manners to fellow contributors, whether they are mainline coders, testers or users offering feedback as requested.
A simple 'thank you' would've sufficed.
