I was told that the reason for this forum is to beta test derivatives.

So, here goes my report;

1) to begin with, the annoying messages such as network setup, language setting show up everytime I boot. I understand that this is th e feature of 525 series. OK let's forget about it.

2) It can't find eth0 connection, hence no internet.(later I solved this problem by using other setup option)

3) can't use anything other than English. And it's not lupu's problem since other lupu based all worked fine with other languages. Abiword wasn't even installed and downloaded version never got along with any language other than English. You have to announce it as an English only version or not Asian language friendly version.

4) Before I install Abi, there was abi help menu which turn out to be same as chronium browser. In other words, the menu got mixed up.

5) Other drives are not mountabl except the home directory. It didn't recogize any other drives, making root only or home drive only system.

When I clicked on the mount menu, it just disappeared and nothing mounted. If it wants to keep the screen clean. why not add automounted drives in the right click menu?

6) Before version 04, the resolution was unacceptable. I am using my PC with TV connected.

7) Overall. long way to go.

Still loving this puplet! You mentioned in an earlier post that you had shortened your panel so that you had an area to right click in to access the menu without having to shade or minimize all other windows. I have found the tint2rc file, but do not know which value to edit to shorten my panel. Assuming I am looking at the correct file. I see values for panel size and margin, but editing them did not change anything. Do i need to run something in terminal after i edit tint2rc? Thanks again.

I don't know if alexandrion has it included in Reborn Puppy or not but there is a Tint2 configuration GUI tint2conf or is it tintwizard (requires python)

I have it in this tint2.pet here (if i recall these some other app ins in there as well, Feh image viewer, 9menu, gtk-engines)

I just installed this on an asus eeepc 701 4gig ssd with 2g RAM. Everything works pretty good except webcam. If anyone could point me to existing PET files to get my webcam to work, I would be most grateful. My searches are turning up a lot of things that i am not sure will work or not. Many thanks!
