I just discovered Pfind included with 2.1.7. It rocks, but the 2.2 version is buggy.
There's a 2.4 pet available that fixes the bugs. Please be sure to move the newer version into Happy.
Thanks.
2.20 Alpha "Happy"
GTK theme chooser bug on 2.20 alpha
I haven't installed 2.20 yet, I've been running it using Q (kju emulator for Mac).
Last night I tried to change the gtk theme, selected a theme and clicked ok. The theme chooser window closed, but then Puppy kept opening windows saying something like "gtk info" - I don't remember exactly what the window title was, and the content never loaded - I just shut down the virtual machine because more and more of these windows kept opening...
(If necessary, I can try to reproduce. Puppy runs very slowly in Q though..)

When booting with the parameter layerfs=unionfs
I once got the message at the end of the shutdown:
Segmentation fault busybox umount -ar >/dev/null 2>&1
madplay complains:
madplay: Symbol `id3_build' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
gxine does not start:
gxine: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Gill_Baits,
Could you try the attached. Download somewhere, open a terminal, expand:
# tar -zxf usr-lib-gconv.tar.gz
then copy the files to /usr/lib/gconv
...see if that fixes it. The gconv directory is cutdown in 2.20alpha. I have have selected what seems like the files that will fix your problem.

LinNeighborhood error message
Thanks Barry that fixed it
Skype static 1.4 (downloaded from the Skype website) works fine in Puppy 2.17, but not in 2.20 alpha. While I can hear the other person, my microphone doesn't seem to work. I tried changing everything I could find in alsamixer and the Puppy mixer, and even tried a different sound card, but the microphone just won't make a peep.
Booting stopped at "puppyserialdetect is running"
1) AMD 690G (ASUS M2A-VM)
Booting puppy 220a from cd on this computer ends whith:
"puppyserialdetect is running"
When typing CTRL C I can continue with the xwizzard, but usb keybord and mouse is then not working properly.
To be fair with the 220a version: booting this computer with 2171 the result is the same, but of course I was looking forward this problem to be solved with a newer version.
2) NVIDIA 6150 (ASUS M2NPV-VM)
I am very happy booting a Live CD on a computer with NVIDIA 6150 Chipset:
I can surf the Internet on my 1366*768 DVI LCD right out of the box!
Only for enabling sound I had still to open the alsamixer tool in a console session and "unmute" the SPDIF Channel.

Gxine crash
I have the problem of Gxine crashing the system to the point where I need to type xwin to restart, this occures if I try to change any of the setting when playing any video media this includes mp3's with visualisation running, this appears to be a possible driver problem has I also had a monitor setting problem when I first ran 2.20 but managed to adjust them with a combination of xvidtune and the monitor controls
