I have tried the new 3HD version and Lupusuper4 version.
Both boot to desktop with sound and internet working properly. I installed/updated several pets that I use on regular basis and have found no problems.
Thanks for your continued effort to keep these puppies updated and available for us to use,

I used GetFlash Install Flashplayer

menus > internet > GetFlash Install Flashplayer

I installed Flashplayer 11.2.202.341 in Lupu 3HD 5.2.8.6 and is working great in YouTube

I also recently installed gtk_youtube_viewer-3.0.2-lucid and this helped the hesitation problem I was having on YouTUbe.

I love the Lucid Puppy 5.2.8. It's the only puppy that connected me well enough to a large enough archive pool that let me get all the routines I wanted installed.
