Hey gray
Hey gray, Thanx 4 this Fanastic Dingo, What's the difference please w/ the r1? ( ie. changelog ) & is there a delta update or service pack available, Please?
Also I've got a Problem installing SeaMonkey 2.0 Pet w/ Missing Dependencies, ( ironic I kNow because U took So Much Care Removing the Original SeaMonky, ( But because My Wife Shares the same PC & I Don't want Her X - Stitch Bookmarks etc Cluttering Up Mine in Opera, First I installed FireFox 3.03 ( because it has XMarks ( Formerly FoxMarks, BookMark Synchronization Available ), But it Kept Crashing, ( w/ NOP 4.1.3 ), I Suppose because o' the Missing Dependencies, So I Switched to SeaMunky 1.18 that Me Wife was initially Resistant to, but the got used to, & liked the relative Speed, altho alas No XMarks, Now installing the same FireFox 3.03 on Y'r Updated NOP 4.3.1 there's No Dependency Problems & I can Update that to 3.15 OK, But it's So Slllloooooowww..... & She wants SeaMunkey back! ). Which is where I am Now w/ these Dependency Dramas, is there a Pet 4 these Dependencies? ). Or Better still a Complete SeaMunky 2.0 SFS Package 4 the 2.6.30.5 Ke*nel ( Preferably Hopefully w/ X-Marks Add on eNabled which I Believe is a Possible Hack since they're both Mozilla Browsers. I'm Sure U May Wunder Y I use Y'r NOP if I'm Requesting this, But I Assure U I'm an Opera Die Hard & I Need Xfce 4 Compiz Fusion!

Max, as per update in post #1:Max Headroom wrote:gray, what's the difference please w/ the r1? ( ie. changelog ) & is there a delta update or service pack available, Please?
Revision 1 : 5 Nov 2009
fixed missing libs for wvdial
upgraded to Opera 10.01 and Transmission 1.76
upgraded openssh to 5.2p1
On another note... the Revision 1 did not resolve my problem on boot. Gray, is there a retro version we can use for those with older hardware? (IBM T22)
hd install
hello
i thought i would ask before i do it, can a full install
be done with nop 431 r1 ?

hallo timremy,
yes you can
The only thing is what kind of computer do you have. I have an older laptop IBM thinkpad T20 with 700 mhz and 256 mb ram. So live CD works fine but after installing I've got kernel panic. So I am still using NOP 413 r1.The bigest difference between NOP and Puppy is one - Nop is using XFCE instead of jwm and comes only with 2.6.30.5 kernel- so no retro:)
And I think I am not the only one who has the boot problem (look above the post from fsabatino)

well there is no 100 % guarantee it will work.
On my laptop it doesn't. Live cd works fine, but after installing I've got kernel panic. There is some problem with the boot option in new puppy on some older laptops. You shouldn't have any problems with 413 r1 version. But I'm not sure about the new NOP
What OS are you using now? The best possibility to test it without loosing your older OS is to try it for example in virtualbox first

Virtual box is a virtualization software. I aloud you to run an other operating system on your currently OS. Is avaible for Wndows, mac, Linux also puppy.
You can read more on http://www.virtualbox.org
So this would be a possibility to test (install) puppy without risk.

Brilliant puplet
I used puppy a while back, but got a bit frustrated, so I went to other distros. I always keep an eye out, so when I saw NOP 4.3.1, I tried it, and loved it!.
It now is the only OS on my SSD (eeepc 701 4G, 2G ram), and is everything I loved about puppy, plus a great desktop. In fact, I replaced Karmic (albeit one of the betas) with NOP. Its lightning fast, and has everything I need. Keep up the good work.
Cheers....

Hi
Downloaded puppy-431-NOP.iso
md5sum c1e71d9e702c3d84c0e4cd9fde6c75e5 checked out OK
Extracted the 3 files required for a frugal install from the ISO
and copied them onto an external USB HDD then onto the internal HDD in a Toshiba Portege 7010CT.
I placed the 3 files into a directory nop431 on partition sda5
and added the following to the menu.lst of an already existing GRUB install:
Rebooted and added pfix=ram onto the kernel line,
setup keyboard and graphics, got to the desktop and rebooted,
this time i created a pup_save.2fs file.
Wireless setup was also a breeze
Buffalo Air Station Turbo G - WLI-CB-G54HP using Module b43
All in all, it runs quite well considering the specs of the laptop.

error messages
hello
a quick question. when i boot up nop 431 r1 , i get some lines
that say something like Fatal error lib?????? not included.
(or something like that, that lines are there and then gone)
is this normal, i mean cosmetic?
thank you

hosting for the puplets
Somebody give these guys some free hosting or you guys should get on source forge. These projects have a lot of potential to grow and you can probably get more help.

Samba handling
It seems like something has changed in the way pnethood handles the samba scripts.
Whenever I try to access a public share I am refused.
In Puppy 4.3.1 I can mount the share fine whenever I enter any username. But in NOP431r1 it will not accept anything I have tried as a username..
I thought this was probably a pnethood/samba issue (not a NOP problem), but since it works okay in the parent 4.3.1 it suggest a simple scripting issue somewhere in NOP..
