@ sc0ttman.
The packages are in Jermimah's first post in this thread, the list starting with ' Frisbee beta 2 ', the Wary wpa_supplicant is right at the bottom ( be sure you've got the right one, there are a couple of versions for different Puppies, as Jermimah explains. )

Frisbee on Wary 5.1.3

correct or expand if needed ; -)
Hi darkcity. You might want to add Wary 5.1.3 to the wiki page as well, I've got Frisbee running using dhcpcd-5.2.9-i486 and Jemimah's Wary wpa-supplicant.

ATI drivers

Apart from the virtual desktop issue already mentioned by capoverde the only bug I've come across so far is that Quickpet recommends the Catalyst driver for my ATI Radeon HD3450 card, but I couldn't get it to work. Xorg High-GLX seems to suit my card, and gives good results in Google Earth.

Dictionary for en-GB?

I've installed the Libreoffice sfs, and it runs very nicely with my Puppy 5.1.1 frugal install, but so far I haven't been able to locate an en-GB dictionary for it. Presumably an sfs packaged for a recent version of Oo will work, but despite trying various search terms, no joy. Any pointers would be...

I've just set up escp_util in Puppy 5.1.1, I had to sort a couple of bugs, the most serious of which was that the installing my printer ( Epson Stylus Photo R265 ) using Cups 1.4.3 did no t install escputil! Fortunately I'd re-mastered an earlier Puppy using this printer so I was able to lift the es...

Just to say that the i1800 pet works perfectly with CUPS 1.4.3 in Puppy 5.1.1. Only point to watch, although the printer is branded as ' Pixma i1800 ' it appears on the Cups list as ' Canon i1800 '.

Which manager are you using to make the connection? On my laptop - plug-in wireless card - I could connect using Network Manager in 5.1.1, but it wouldn't auto connect on re-boot. I installed pwireless2 through PPM and used that, auto-connects like a dream. Not really wi-fi related, but on my wired ...

There is a ' work in progress ' project ( search for ' powerpup ' ), and AFAIK Debian still supports PowerPC, but for something Puppy-sized you might look at minimalinux, which offers versions for Intel/AMD, PowerPC and ARM.

I installed the Pwireless from the PPM but it is showing a dependancy even though it is working Libgio I wonder if this is a bug or a minor issue If you re-run the dependencies check for pwireless2 I think you will find that it reports no missing dependencies, but reports libgio as missing after ch...

I'm not sure what I did right this time jermimah, but pwireless2 ( the lupup version ) worked OK. Possibly before I didn't remove all the profiles in network-wizard, there seemed to be more than I remember in 4.2.1. :oops: Anyway, here's what I did, in case anyone else is having the same problem. 1:...

Thanks for the correction raffy. I haven't had much time to spare for Puppy recently ( sorting some real life issues ) but Lupup 5.1 looks really good and I'm going to see if I can get it running on my ca. 2000 Dell laptop.
