I shortened the long comment ferikanagy had on his image. That seemed to solve the problem.

Updated : same bugs as usual :
gxine crashes or hangs.
cannot full install to disk.

So far, the best puppy : great idea to simplify it !
Maybe some critics :
* windows key should open the menu (you know that strange key).
* make it easier for dev_xxx.sfs to use (right now works not directly if copied to / , must do many steps before ?).
* include sane/xsane per default ?
* remove not used filesystems from grub.
* what's the use of trash ? why not used by default when deleting ? like make an alias move to trash instead of delete.
* are these progs needed ? wavplay, bdb, gtkmoz, nenscript ?
* opening pictures by default with viewer is better than with editor ?
Keep on simplifying : faster and easier to use and maintain Smile

Thanks Barry.

I've been unable to get the Dingo 4 barebones iso from ibiblio since yesterday, either with browser or with FTP. Anybody else with download problems? Sorry, I posted in alpha3 thread instead of alpha4 thread.

I haven't been able to get DRI (direct hardware rendering) working with Dingo and the Xorg tarball with my ATI r300. The logs all look good, but the glxgears screen is black. So I used Barry's T2 package and rebuilt with the full Xorg modular tree. If I use the X11R7 directory from that rebuild, DRI works fine.

Also, I removed the the pkg_xorg-server.conf and the pkg_xorg-server.patch files from pigglet before building. I noticed the pkg_xorg-server.conf file had DRI disabled.

No bug, I just want to ask about the version of ALSA in Puppy4alpha:
a week ago Barry reported that ALSA is from an SVN snapshot (2007-12-21) -

Barry, I'm about to help update ALSA in Pup214R, is there anything about this SVN release that makes it particularly better than ALSA 1.0.15?

Barry, nibl reports that a small modification to the wag-profiles.sh script fixes the problem of not being able to use 8-digit WPA passphrases -

And Pizzasgood has suggested another Wifi wizard fix –

Testing Dingo Alpha3 on a Celeron 2800 (Asrock775i65GV MoBo):

mhwaveedit worked swift and fine with a couple audio files (mp3 and OGG), then hanged opening another - which was regularly read after reboot - with very high CPU activity; impossible to kill the process without rebooting.

One SD card would not refresh its FAT even after reformatting twice with GPartEd; possibly a problem with the card itself (though I hope not...).

Generally, however, a very responsive and stable system - SeaMonkey seems a rock no matter what it's handling.

Barry,
I have a remedy for the help page's problem with the non-js browsers. I posted it on the little sister to this thread:

Thanks Barry. I saw your post in the blog, but things seemed a little different to me.

Rebooting Dingo didn't change things, whereas reading the same card with Puppy 3.01 it appears empty as it should - so my card is innocent...

But here too, after unmounting one SD card and inserting & mounting another, Rox shows false contents. However, with 3.01, just restarting the X server corrects this (same behavior from either PMount or MUT - could not try with MUT in Dingo).

I never noticed that before, as I usually access just one SD card during a session. Yep, will download Alpha 4 right now.

>Hope you'll have fun in India!
