Essentials all ok as usual. 5692 boots (frugal installs) a bit faster
than most other pups but not as fast as Wary 5.5 on my test PC
(having a 2 ghz Pentium 4 cpu and 768 meg RAM). It doesn't
"feel" any faster than other pups though.

I also experienced having to type xwin on the initial boot ... and I
also installed Micko's jwm pet mentioned on page 1.

Kernel 3.9.5 still has the wireless power management bug.

For those interested in updating (upgrading) mplayer from 1.0.3
to 1.0.8 you can d/l the following from the ppm (thanks to pemasu
for the info):

gnome-mplayer_1.0.8-1
libgmlib1_1.0.8-1
libgmtk1_1.0.8-1
libgmtk1-data_1.0.8-1
libimobiledevice3_1.1.4
libgpod4_0.8.2
libmusicbrainz3-6_3.0.2-2.1
libgda-5.0-4_5.0.3
libpulse-mainloop-glib0_3.0
libplist1_1.8-2
libneon27-gnutls_0.29.6-3
libdiscid0_0.2.2
libusbmuxd2_1.0.8

The only problem I've had not already mentioned here is that it drops out of x when I click on the free space button, and same if I run "Partview" from the desktop.

Funnily, the first time I booted into it I could create a save-file, but on un-saved boots after that it wouldn't save. I did a full hd install instead and it's working fine. It even runs dropbox without giving me the setup wizard every time (grrr).

python doesn't work because libpython2.7-minimal_2.7.4 is missing.

Hi guys, I have added those missing libs to the package selection, so they will be in the alpha2 Raring pup.

I haven't been on this Forum for awhile, only visiting briefly now -- some of you may have noticed on my blog that I have been very busy :D
