A manual rebuilding of Lucid 525 with the 2.6.30.5 kernel and drivers from the reliable Puppy 4.31.This release is a little larger due to including all of the 4.31 drivers....in particular there are lots of analog modem drivers included.Should be good for those users on dial-up.

New Upload 08-15-2011

Lucid Retro 525-2.6.30.5-v4 now boots straight to the desktop and the bug for full installs is fixed.

Lucid 525 Retro-2.6.30.5 iso original release..... use the one above.
EDIT: Dead link removed

This should provide all the hardware compatibility (and extra drivers) and stability from Puppy 4.31 combined with all of the new up-to-date applications from Lucid 525.

Thanks go to everyone involved in the development of Lucid and especially 01micko and playdayz, for their help and support in this little side project, and smokey01 for hosting.

Put a link on the wiki Smile

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/HomePage

It might well work for me (having problems with browser and flash)
as IcePuppy does but 5.3 Alpha2 will hopefully be out today . . .
Hope you get users and feedback especially from those who have stayed with
4.3.1 and will now be able to enjoy the enhancements of straight to desktop,
quickpet, control panel etc

ah developers what would we do without them? Cool

So Many Puppys

While in 525 retro I used gparted + manual install to usb flash drive +
grub4dos to make a flash drive install, now running on netbook:
Booted to xorgwizard then desktop.

Loaded xorg_high from quickpet:

Videos at cnn play perfectly but nexuiz is unplayable, need the
proprietary driver for that.

The ethernet and builtin wireless adapters weren't recognized on this
netbook but my trusty linksys usb wireless adapter works fine.

I installed the Audacious pets that I made for Dpup 485.

Retro is working well Smile

Edit: I installed the devx with quickpet,compiled a game + SDL and SDL mixer, installed google earth in quickpet (on computer 1) and it's working fine.

I had the kernel_src-2.6.30.5-patched-20100904.sfs on one of my hard
drives so I installed that + the lupu_devx_525.sfs on a fresh frugal
install on the netbook (I broke the first one somehow) and then
installed the ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run proprietary
driver:

It's working better now Smile

Edit:I've discovered that the kernel soucre sfs that I'm using isn't the proper one for this kernel, it works for ati just fine but when I tried to compile the Nvidia proprietary driver it gives errors.

Will you be providing the kernelsource.sfs for download?

Thanks

Nvidia installer spits the dummy when it finds out the kernel has not been compiled with the gcc version that's in the puppy. There is a way around this, there is a help option when you invoke the NVIDIA-Linux[whateverversion]pkg.run file, just append " --help". It gives you a list of options, and an advanced help option. IIRC there is an option to ignore the gcc error. That *should* work.

Ah yes, there are 3 sources.. the earliest one is the correct one sept 9, 2009. I think dpup had a similar issue with not knowing which was which. You need to cross check the /etc/modules/DOTconfig file. Funny though nvidia-270 built ok for me but would not run, symbol lookup error with libwfb, but nvidia-260 works just fine.

@James C

I made a firefox-4.0.1-retro525 pet, I followed the instructions playdayz gave in the howto thread, except not for any specific processor.
It's 14mb and too big to upload unless you have another way that I can get it to you?
