If you had taken the time to read a few posts a bit earlier in the thread
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=515707#515707
it would have been obvious that highmem didn't work in 003.

Back on the multi-session DVD on the Quad.Everything was saved to DVD from first session as intended.
Can confirm that Quickpet only downloads some packages, installed Chromium but no go with Pwidgets.
Looks pretty good here with 4 gb, no sense in my upping my ram....Billtoo seems to have that covered.

Ice Pup 003 appears to be using a bit less ram than 004.
Time for a little break.....

To try to discover the impact of a PAE kernel on the more typical Puppy hardware, I dug another old computer out of the closet and did 2 frugal installs with 003 and 004.Using 003 right now.Have already rebooted and created a save file.

I need to do other unfinished jobs for awhile. But Thank you of your reports. It looks like Intel Atom and Highmem combo has been accepted warmly.
Quickpet bug. I believe it might be just missing database files in /root/.packages. Go to the Puppy Package Manager and Update database now in the second page of PPM. I got quickpet working with updating files.
I remember now that I removed older Puppy database files from woof so that there would less files to choose when I did woof builds again and again. LOL.
Could someone test this and report that I can inform the fix in the first page.
Highmem + PAE. Yes, it uses about 20 Mb more RAM. That is why it is good that there is 486 cpu version without Highmem + PAE. If you have 4 Gb
or more RAM, there is no problem with + 20 Mb usage.
Billtoo. I will upload the kernel sources quite soon. Need to do something else first.
James C. Thank you of your tireless testing with several hw. It looks like the builds are quite usable.

Gcmartin. I knew about that hostname and rox bug. I have made the pet of 01mickos fix for it earlier.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=509777#509777
I just didnt remember to update it to the woof. Fixed. Will be implemented through woof in next builds. Thank you of finding that out.
To fix it. Install the pet from above link.
Anyway that bug does not have effect if you dont change your default hostname from puppypc to something other.

To get core temp on the tray, I remade rcrsn51 core temp pet. I removed those libs and bins which are already included. Nothing changed in scripts.
It shows only temp of 2 cores on my 4 core laptop. But anyway. It seems to work that much.
