It is on the ibiblio.org host, has not yet filtered through to the mirrors.

Lots of improvements since 094, both to Woof and Wary. Testers welcome!

I am connected with my dialup modem, Pctel, right now. I found that it (the modem) was broken when I upgraded the save-file from 094, so booted with "pfix=ram". Now I am in business.

Better upgrading of the save-file is something that is on the to-do list, don't know when though.

Love having the extra drivers in a separate file that can be removed if they are no needed. All good so far.
Short Question for Barry: You posted configuration for compiling Seamonkey in Wary thanks. Would the same configuration be used for compiling Seamonkey 2.1b?

This has been mentioned before and is not a specific Wary problem (maybe woof?). Menu>desktop>jwm configuration>apply current GTK theme to JWM actually deletes the contents of /root/jwmrc-tray leaving no tray at the bottom of the screen.

I installed 096 to a 4gb flash drive.
I installed the ati_fglrx-10.10-k2.6.31.14-w5.pet using the extra step
and hardware acceleration is working.
I compiled some apps and then rebooted and it took much less time than
usual to save the save file to the flash drive than it usually does
after making that many changes.
The retrovol icon is x'ed out but sound it working fine, this only
happens on this pc for some reason.I use the dial on the remote to
change sound level.
I compiled icewm-1.3.7 and switched to that.
096 is running nice so far Smile

'Woof woof' seems to be disabled?
The Universal installer doesn't appear to work (for internal IDE); it shows all partitions as /sdaGUID ?? Is this a local issue? an HW problem? with this disc?
Good to see autoDHCP connects!

Update: As you were - did a low level disc clean and that has fixed it. This used to be a problem more frequently with older discs but haven't seen it much recently.
