Thanks Barry. FWIW, it took exactly 3 minutes to download (cable).

Many thanks Barry - downloading it now Smile

Xorg worked OK and I am on line - so my burner is OK ( see bugs - Embarassed

)
tkfont is much better (simple, nice works) than xfontsel - which never seemed to work in any way that was helpful - maybe it should be removed in 1.0.8?

Have to go play - many thanks Smile

Merry Christmas. How far we have come over the last few months. Incredible adventure! Smile

Oh, yeah, it was premature mentioning usr_devx.sfs.
I have only just started to upload it.

I tried to download it but only got about 20M so I'm downloading from Mark's site. Should have it soon.

Thanks Barry.

Puppy Tardis Beta - Release version New Years Eve / New Years Day

Ian, you will be able to use your new broad band to good effect . . . My first question is about my graphic tablet (wacom) I should be able to use that with xorg?

Control panel / set global font - that is a good one as is the new new "package manager" - click on install to load new programs. Very straightforward
explanation . . .

Just about to reboot into 1.0.7 beta now Smile

Updated Wiki whilst I was waiting for it to download:
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Puppy107

When can we expect a PupGet/Unleashed selection of packages available to complement this?
- to me this is a critical part of the evaluation...

I don't see any system on iBiblio for storing multiple concurrent versions of these packages...is this right?
With this fast a release rate, it would be great if 3 releases could be supported at once (2x stable & 1 development)

Keep up the great work all Smile

Using Axel Downloaded 61.5 megabytes in 4:25 seconds. (237.36 KB/s)

I am wondering before booting if you included the changes for the fonts ? As mentioned http://www.murga.org/%7Epuppy/viewtopic.php?t=4672 in this post.

Will give it a look & see what we got. Thanks BK, and GOD bless you all.

WOW! the fonts sure look alot sharper. No problem on my laptop, small problem on a desktop the horz. refresh came up as 40.3 hz when I tried to increase it, the screen went black and poped up an error. Changed the monitor setting in the .conf file to 60 - 85 hz and everything worked. I think I need to tweak the font settings for mozilla they look a little thin.

All good now - after dl'ing from original site (MU's site seems to have a corrupt .iso - 2x md5sum's identically incorrect).

Xorg works fine in 1024x768
- although if I try to re-run the Wizard then it reboots my system!
(I did try 1280x800m, but it jumped straight to 2048x1536, which worked but was too small to be usable)

Love the new unified Package Installer front-end
