Yes the file sizes are diff so im on 005 just wanted to confirm it. From what u say it doesnt show the minor update version. so at least i know now thanks.

thanks for reply

many thanks for the replies im using puppy 5.2.8 as said dual boot with xp on if needed frugal install things are a bit clearer now, slacko sounds like its not for this laptop nor poss 3 head dog. so it comes down to lucid or wary do u think wary would be better than lucid the main thing i notice is...

so confused about which one to pick i have been running lucid 5.2.8 came back to look at whats new etc, and its soo confusing can anyone recommend which would be best for an old compaq evo n410c i think its 1.2 ghz p3 it has 1 gig ram which is best suited? slacko lucid wary 3 head dog etc etc wary i...

bios is extremely limited in this is old compaq evo n410c p3 1200

no option in there i can see to disable floppy

its more like puppy isnt applying the correct icon if somethings changed eg floppy n cd are removed

i just edtiting last post to be clearer after the install i remove the docking bay so floppy n cd are now removed then reboot then see usb as a floppy icon as well as a floppy icon so now there are 2 floppy icons still works ok though for usb i can remove the legacy floppy as u said but the usb is s...

thanks but that does not work

its a drive icon not an app icon

and i tried

for some reason it sees the usb drive and assigns the floppy drive icon

or thinks it is a floppy when its not its a usb drive

it still works etc just not right icons assigned

i have a full install of puppy 5.2.8 and a frugal install on the hdd

the frugal correctly displays the icon for my usb device sdb1

however the full install shows it as a floppy disk drive icon

i would like it to be the correct icon

any ideas help, thank you
