Hi I thought I would try the latest Slacko. But one essential requirement is that I must be able to connect to my LANDisk. Until today I had both Puppy 4.3.1 and Slacko-5.3.1 as frugal installations on my Acer laptop HD. But I have just upgraded the Windows on the same HD to Windows 8(sad isn't it!)...

Just did a frugal install of Slacko Puppy 5.3.1 (normal version - I have 4 GB of ram but dd not know if this was sufficient for the HIGHMEM version?))on my Acer Aspire 5100 to replace the ageing Puppy 431. in general working great. Many thanks to Mick Amadio. The only real problem I had which seems ...

Is the new pnethood working well? Does all your multimedia play? Does printing work? Sorry been out of action for the last couple of weeks. But today I have given Puppeee 4.4 Beta a run. Unfortunately pNethood is not working for me in 508 version with my Samba LANDisk whereas it works in 504 (excep...

Beta 3 has been uploaded. http://puppeee.com/web/blog/puppeee-44-beta-3-released/ @jemimah I am running this now. Seems fin. Is there anything in particular I should test compared with puppeee-1.0? (which is my main OS on my eeePC901) and works just great. The lid suspend is perfect and I am now a ...

Thanks for this. I installed it on puppeee 1.0 to upgrade the built-in older version. Worked fine

The fonts fix worked just great. Thanks & Rgds Mike Look at Jemimah's response. That fixed the problem. Jon OK, so adding fonts should work in Seamonkey as well as Chrome and Firefox? Sounds simple ... and that worries me ... :roll: I did it in Puppy 4.3.1 in Seamonkey and it worked. Not as many...

Hi clarf

Does you improved version include this fix I gave Barry for 4.3.1? I ask because in some subsequent derivatives it was lost:

How do I make it open links in emails using FF instead of SM?

Same problem for me but have not found an answer yet.

The main problem for me is after it finds shares and mounts them, Rox Filer is does not show the files (just a mounted unnamed folder). If I navigate to the mount point and open a terminal, "ls" shows the correct files and sub-folders. Does clicking the ROX Rescan button have any effect? ...

Unfortunately pNethood is still broken in my tests with my Samba LANDisk. I reported on Barry's blog the same problem with Q112. The main problem for me is after it finds shares and mounts them, Rox Filer is does not show the files (just a mounted unnamed folder). If I navigate to the mount point an...

Hi Decided to give lupu-501 a run. I use 431 (with quite a few additional pets eg. FF) daily. Unfortunately one key thing for me does not work. I need to connect to mt LANdisk (Samba) and whereas in 431 everything is fine in lupu although it finds my server and its shares (using pnethoopd) when I sh...

Just testing a fresh frugal install of 4.3.2v3. Most things look good. One problem I had (same in 431 and derivatives e.g. Stardust) is that my WiFi router is not found in the scan using the default module(ath5k I think). It find other WEP's in my locality but not my WPA. So I had to resort as I hav...

The Simple Network wizard worked great (on my Acer Aspire 5100) Unfortunately no joy with either of the lameSMB apps. So installed Barry's patched pnethood-0.65-utf8.pet but Barry this is missing this bit: #v423 BK: puppymike says need this to get cifs to work... sleep 0.5 [ ! -e /proc/fs/cifs ] &am...

Many thanks for the Sfs's

Rgds Mike

Any chance of a SFS?

This post will point to new wine versions as I compile them.

@CatDude Just tried your XnView-1.70-version4.00.pet in Stardust 013 but cold not get it to work. Comes up with http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=26125 but under "Options" there is only "General" and clicking on this crashes it. From a terminal I g...

I've settled on Stardust 013 as my preferred Puppy. Now have it on both my EeePC901 netbook and my Acer Aspire 5100 laptop. Many thanks Zigbert for your excellent work. For your info these are the main tweaks I have made: WINE installed (SFS) on both with IrfanView, Photofitre and FastStone viewer. ...

I am confused as to whether I am using the latest puppeee. I have a frugal install of i puppee 4,31 beta436. Is the latest this one eee-441.sfs? BTW in the install I have none of the Samba clients work for seeing my files on my Samba LANdisk. Its the only Puppy (or Pupplet) I've tested which does no...
