I just made a multi-session CD of Luci 262.
Used Burniso2cd
Multi-session CD works fine for me no problems booting with or saving to CD.
Do you have a second machine to test it on?
Well, seems it will only work on the computer it was burned on.
Tried on another computer and not even recognized.
Using Burniso2CD
Tried making another multisession CD of Luci 263 and using it on the two computers I have.
First just burned the CD on one and booted it on the other. Worked like a fresh new Live Puppy CD.
Booted up fine on both.

Now the strange stuff.
Booted the computer it was not made on. No save file yet.
Booted like a first time Live Puppy CD.
Shut down.
Selected make save file to CD.
Got error message
:-( not an mmc unit!

Time to migrate to a new live CD.

So basically, would not let me put a save file on CD.

Use the multisession CD on the computer I made it on and had no problems saving to disc.

After making save file on disc, by running in the computer it was made on.
It would not boot on other computer.

I think it is a hardware issue with the Disc drive burner that is in the computer it will not work in.
It is a Memorex brand multi-recorder DVD/CD burner
Suppose to have all the latest capabilities.

Hope this info helps!
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:

Some jwm themes can be found here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=285

The nice thing about jwm themes is that they are tiny.

Luci-263 live pfix=ram on the problematic box.

Booted to a 800x600 desktop. Used xorgwizard,chose "probe" then "1440x900" and got 1600x1200 using vesa. Downloaded and installed the correct Nvidia driver and finally got the desired 1440x900.
No sound at boot.Ran alsawizard. Detected 2 sound cards in error.....only has onboard Nvidia audio.Second attempt got the sound working. :)

Otherwise, looks to be working good.

Damnit! I've only just upgraded my fresh install of 260 to 262. ;-) For the record, things seem to have gone smoothly so far. On 260 I noticed that it took a long time for the speaker icon on the icon bar to lose its cross.

There are times when I wish that you'd elaborate on your reasoning for certain things, and this is one of them. Bear in mind that when Lupu 526 is released many people will be upgrading their existing install and may not take kindly to having to create a new save for a minor point release.

What, specifically, is your reason for creating a new file and removing existing ones?

SFS-Load is great, now I no longer need a pupsavefile.

Playdayz, I have a few suggestions, all of them would take minimal space:

1) More modern looking mini-icons

2) ScOttman's Default-Programs-Chooser

3) Since dillo is the defaultbrowser, and dillo does not use flashplayer, why not remove flashplayer to save some megs?

4) Some bookmarks for dillo, especially a link to the murga-linux forum.

Further to my previous post, I've rebooted Luci 262 a couple of times and haven't noticed a repeat of the slow initialisation of sound I'd seem with Luci 260. In general, Luci 26x seems to be quicker than Lupu 525 although I haven't tested it extensively.

Luci-262 was flawed. There were some significant enhancements from rerwin and in installing them I misunderstood what Woof would do, and some were left out. There was also at least one file that should have been deleted and wasn't. Doing it wrong was worse than not doing it, of course. So, all in all I thought we should remove those problems from the testing environment by not updating luci-262. I mentioned the problem I think, but I did not explain the relation between the flawed 262 and the need to start 263 pfix=ram. Thanks.

Yes, Lucid 5.2.6 should be an easy upgrade to a Lucid 5.2.5 save file. However, just as with all the Lucids after the first one, I will say
