the scsi test-iso was wrong, by accident I used files from the older iso with kernel 2.6.27.5.

I now uploaded version 1.1b, with those from kernel 2.6.28.5.

the scsi puplet works on a Vmware ESXi server.

Mark,

In order to solve problem in implementing Puppy on Acer AA1 notebook, Iscraigh mentioned to me your lxde pupplet running under 2.6.28.5 which support booting with a SD card engaged on the storage expansion slot. (Pb with Macpup )

LXDE support it (and looks very nice ) however it's ok when booting from live CD but when trying a booting from flash drive, I ended up with sound problem ( a strange tac tac tac... noise).

So I am waiting your comment before trying a double boot full install ( linpus/puppy).

rgds,
Michel

Michel,
I have no idea, but would try to exit X and run "alsawizard".

I uploaded a special pet for Ati and Intel graficscards, that upgrades Xorg and some drivers:

uploaded Ati Catalyst 9.10beta:

This was made from a binary pre-release package for ubuntu.
I compiled the kernelmodule myself, but did not apply the ubuntu patch, as it is a "all in one" patch that requires ubuntus folderstructure.

At first sight, I do not see great advantages compared to the older catalysts.

Battleshooter has released a Cinelerra (Videoeditor) pet for Ultrapup:

Had no time to test it yet, but this is great news.
I had lots of problems in the past to assemble a working package of cinelerra.
Thanks Battleshooter

uploaded the latest Nvidia driver 185-18.36 for Ultrapup/Newyearspup

Did not test it myself, but should work, as it was packaged as usual and compiled fine.

I attach a small pet, it includes a patched libxinerama.so.
It removes some flickering, if 3 monitors are attached using nvidiacards, e.g. to set up a videowall like this:

Thanks Tio_Iroh for your reply,
First the wifi card quit and then the notebook quit, so I'm using another laptop that does not have these connection problems.

I was not born when this puplet issued, born in Linux world...
It's fun, and not bad at all.
Only problems downloading pets
