Just completed full install to ext4 partition on hard drive.
All items mention above, plus xchat have been installed and working with no problems.

Internet connection auto started when booted to hd install.

I will keep looking

Hi Playdayz,
This probably needs changing upstream by Barry for the urxvt packages but the .desktop file for Urxvt opens rxvt - it need to be changed to Exec=urxvt

I think mtpaint and pschedule might have been updated as well?

Playdayz, you certainly are a glutton for punishment!

This is very good news indeed that there is some new puppy development in the open that we can all contribute to.

Update to latest perl ? Had problems installing modules in 525.

Hey playdayz, I'm really glad you decided to release another Lupu! Very Happy

The 64-bit kernel is ready and working, you can see it here. My main OS now is a "hybrid" 5.2.5 with a 64-bit kernel and an E17 build I made using Puppizard in two clicks Smile

At the moment I'm migrating the kernel build script to Puppizard and I also want build scripts for NVIDIA, Sysprof and ndiswrapper, so we have an automated way to build all the important third-party stuff Puppy has.

A "hybrid" version sounds nice, by the way - we could compile a bleedin' edge 64-bit kernel. Also, it would be very nice to have an E17 SFS in Quickpet.

Oh, and another thing - add Yad. Many Puppy developers adopted it already and I think it could be very nice to have it built-in.

And last thing - remove Flash. It gets outdated over time and that sucks - we could write a simple Flash installer instead, both for size (it reduces the ISO size by a few MBs!), security and multimedia experience.

OH, now that's the last thing I remember I didn't like about 5.2.5 (really! just 4 things!) is the fonts - the DejaVu fonts of Lupu are bad with Hebrew and Arabic. I have build scripts for the DejaVu fonts, Libertine, Liberation, Freefont and the Ubuntu font family - they could be very handy if we want a fonts category in Quickpet Idea

Luci-260 boots on Acer D250 too. I use the boot code nosmp just in case it is needed. Those who know more can test without that one.
