Playdayz, do we have an upgrade path for a full installation yet?

The current (old) way is long and laborius!

Thanks playdayz for the advices for the audio settings.

Some manipulations within the Full Window of the icon tray and it works Smile

1. Updated Lupu-520 to Lupu-525.
Working flawlessly so far as I can tell. Cool

2. I'm using this method to make the Lucid-Puppy [Lupu-525] treat lupusave on the HDD as if it's a lupusave on a Flash Drive....
So I'm asked at shut-down whether I want "to save or not to save".
It's working just fine. Very Happy

I'm impressed!

5.25 seems so stable and fast, cannot find anything to critisize.. Wink

Have not had the time/ opportunity to follow development, but at first sight 5.25 is absolutely distrowatch top 5 quality!

I changed the window manager from my preferred openbox to the new JWM, thinking I should give that a chance too, and I haven't switched back! Just lovely.

The default wallpapers are not that great. But who cares, they're so easy to change.

Puppy keeps gaining momentum. Thank you very much playdayz and the team!

Here's some of what I found with a quick search for "puppy 5.25". The world definitely starts noticing Puppy...

I like the new feel (once openbox was removed) of 5.25, but my Ethernet controller (Nvidia NForce 10/100) which has been working with zero config out of the box on every other puppy/puplet since 2.something is no longer recognized. Additionally, neither of my wireless USB adapters would work, not even with Ndiswrapper, so there seems to be somewhat of a regression here. Where can I get the old forcedeath driver? Anyone know? Thanks !

@ playdayz and everyone

I did a full install, everything is working well

Although i noticed that Dillio gives a weird flash on the screen when typing in a text box sometimes and the scroll bar turns black and it is like a flash

But, nothing to worry about, maybe it is just that i am a perfectionist Razz

EDIT:

Tried Lubuntu 11 beta yesterday, it boots faster than Lucid 5.25. I wonder why? Or maybe i am wrong

Playdaz,

>The results are that forum member live is a great troubleshooter!

Well, once again in Lupu 525 RC5(4/4/11) OpenShot 1.3 does not work and once again I think it is linked to the fact that in
document/document publish\ for Abiword I see the help entry menu in English, while the soft entry menu in French.

Can you check this.
