I have updated to the latest uget (pet from ttuuxxx). Then did like ttuuxxx told, - removed getez and pwsget. You guys know much more than I do, so I better listen carefully.

I will replace calcoo with galculator.

Where has the main tray volume control gone?

[nooby]

I have to download it 007 again. sfs file corrupt it told me.

I was totally immersed in getting SuperOS going in frugal install.

By pure luck I must have managed to get all teh menu.lst info to be correct by mirroring what others had suggested for other linuxes.

Think it was a guy asking about how to do mint install and I could take that info and make it work for frugal too. It crashed some three times before I by accident got it right.

sorry back to Stardust.

I test it within an hour and give feedback from my HP/Compaq and maybe the Acer D250 too.

Edit from within Stardust 007 on my HP/Compaq

Wired worked, have no wireless on the desktop.

In Acer I failed to get the wired connection going.
Wireless has the led on so most likely it works but does not show the neighbors strength but the names of their locked accesspoints.

svtplay.se works good but nrk.no TV does not work. Plugin is missing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU1GrR5ET5k works very well fast and good sound but like always. Linux has lower output on same source.

shutdown of Acer takes longer time than usual.

But I really like the look of Stardust.

I'm posting from a full install of Stardust 007, it's looking very good so far, only a couple of minor quirks, or perhaps one quirk and a bug. The wireless icon in the main tray shows wifi as down although Pwireless 2 connects, a click on the icon changes it to active. More serious, when I select ' Power off ' at shutdown I get the ' Puppy is shutting down ' message for 5 or so seconds, then repeats of ' modprobe: FATAL: /sys is not mounted ', followed by ' requesting power down ' and ' system halted ' with a blinking cursor. I can shut the laptop down with it's power button, and it boots normally when switched back on. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Does it complete if you <ctrl alt-backspace> to prompt?

I used stardust for about 7hr, lol every time I type stardust I type startdust, Like the 8 time already,lol
anyways all my desktop drive icons on the bottom disappeared, most the time on other puppy versions you click /root/.xinitrc and it refreshes them. Not with stardust, I had to restart X-server. But the second time loading live from the cd I had a desktop background.
All in all not a bad puppy version, a couple small quirks, but nothing serious.

Well again I had troubles with downloading.

This may explain a few odd problems of a running nature that some experience.

I've downloaded so much I've become savvy as to whether downloads will complete correctly.

Now, stardust 007 did not download correctly on 3 attempts, yes it was all there and md5sum was correct but it would not copy or load correctly.

Usually the kernel load was the problem.

I finally had one running but it was obvious something was wrong, so I again deleted it.

I then watched a download complete smoothly and the resultant iso loaded successfully.

This has been running OK since BUT it is slow to start and slow to shutdown, particularily at the pupsave before signoff.

I can't say for sure what's wrong but it is slower at the routines for running, once going it is OK.

Q Zigbert.... how does the 'favourites' system work?

[01micko]

Hi Sigmund

There is a bug in Pwidgets.. the Temp_cpu widget.. take a look at the config file and you will see it straight away... won't work on a eee pc.
