I should have working ServicePack for 482beta1 up in about an hour...sorry for the delay.

On sinc's suggestion, I have added md5sum creation to the Rox OpenWith context menu and a new Phash app to Filesystem Menu...for the ServicePack.

Hi Lobster

I think Barry said somewhere on his blog that upup, dpup and tpup can all be branches of Puppy 5. I just can't put my finger on it..

Cheers

Thanks 01micko
That is my understanding too. It would seem that Dpup will be a very reliable and solid version. Smile

dpup Debian Puppy
spup Slackware Puppy
apup Arch Puppy
ppup Puppy Puppy

normal service is now resumed .. .

ok, i used the xdelta, created the beta1-sp1 (not beta2 I guess) and am posting from it right now.

interesting tidbit if this question comes up from anyone in the future: again it did not auto-find my b43 legacy module and in connection wizard it now shows all the modules as it should except when I select load b43legacy from this list and then click scan for networks I get the ol' error "can't raise module".

HOWEVER... if i create a pupsave and use the boot manager and go to "click here to manually load a module" and reboot, it then works. Very Happy

i did a manual frugal install. i will now try and do a full install.

I suspect the full install is still a problem, as I left out the updated rc.sysinit file...i'll post it here and also add it to the site and of course it will be in the next update...or ServicePack2.

Cheers

I'm releasing 482beta2 tonight, there were too many changes to base system to keep doing deltas...should be up in about an hour.

I'm posting this from a full install of 482beta2 and boy it's fast, makes 477 look positively slow and I thought that was good.

Cheers

well looks like you found it already but yes, the full install still did not work.

one other thing, when firefox automatically updates it comes up with a screen saying flash needs to be updated also to work properly. true or not the warning is still there. dpup has 10.22 and i think the newest version is 10.32.

wallpaper setter in dpup, i'm not sure if you ever got around to these things but i agree that not having the full path and only the name of the file would be an improvement.

sinc, beta2 should be up in 30 minutes or so...and yes the apps are going to get a work over before next release...Wallpaper Setter is getting a re-write to include what you mentioned.

gposil, i used your right click -> open with -> create md5sum and it worked but what do you think about ttuuxxx's gtkhash. i truly just find it more convenient. if you don't think it is right for this release its your call i will just continue to use the pet (attached) but i think barry put it in the 430 main release.
