01micko. Yep...I start today. Now I have tested that ffmpeg converts mp3 to wav, ogg and fac ok. Pmusic Wings theme is already fixed. See Pmusic-2.1.4.
I will add woo-ff and FF-convert to the next build.
Lets see now how the equalizer stuff roll on...

Thanks Shinobar. The update is already in my woof.

Dpup Exprimo 5.X.8 SMP has been uploaded. It has my latest work, several additions and updates. It is probably not yet the complete one, which I will use with next woof, but I didnt have patience to wait that next woof.

So lets call this as tester. It has now ffmpeg-0.8.4 and latest Pmusic-2.1.4, Pequalizer with needed libs (test Wings window outlook from Preferences, it looks now nice and download some nice theme for it) , Ffconvert and woo-ff ffmpeg frontends for easy file conversion. Gtk-themes has some new candidates, well not new but new in Exprimo. Not rockstar, lol.

Some Puppy apps has got new home in Exprimo also. Radky`s great PupApplications has been updated. MtPaint is not yet updated to the latest. But it will be, info for don570
Sfs Load is version 1.2. Latest Busybox.
Kernel has now bluetooth modules and ath9k_htc firmware included. The new broadcom firmware also.

Sfs Apps Loader has got facelift, thanks to magnificent stu90.

Iso size grow up because of ffmpeg and other new apps. Iso size 144 Mb.

I'm running 5x8 from a DVD+RW and I used SFS-Load on-the-fly to load
the devx and kernel source sfs files.

Dpup Exprimo SMP, version 5.X.8 on Mon 26 September 2011

Chip description:
0.0 VGA compatible controller
nVidia Corporation Device 1082 (rev a1)
oem: NVIDIA
product: GF110 Board - 12630002 Chip Rev

X Server: Xorg
Driver used: nvidia

X.Org version: 1.7.7
dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (513x292 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes

When it first booted up I chose probe and X wouldn't start, then I
chose the nv driver and X still wouldn't start so I ended up choosing
vesa at a low resolution to get to the desktop and install the proper
video driver.

After trying a few applications and having no problems with them I
think I'll reboot and not save to the dvd but I'll do a manual frugal
install to the hard disk later on.

EDIT: I haven't rebooted yet, uptime
13:24:38 up 19:23, load average: 0.21, 0.10, 0.06
Apart from not getting to the desktop on first bootup it's working great.

5x8 frugal install on ext4, updated 5x7 save file with prompts on start-up.
without the quick pet menu to choose to save downloads not sure how to do it here? usually save pet from browser downloads but found myself using ppm to get newer aria2-1.10.1. aria2-1.12.1 is out just not found a pet yet.

all works well during brief testing today.

--------
frisbee auto detected my broadcom driver on start-up and with wifi configuration in prior 5x7 savefile it made the connection without issue. very nice!

Jim3630. Kernel stuff improvements were one of the main things. Firmwares takes space, but....I want to have support for some new devices Puppies mostly dont have. New broadcom and ath9k_htc are amongst those. Bluetooth modules are also now in place.
Adding all kind of firmwares is impossible task. Priority list is needed.

About quickpet. Well....to change the Lucid Puppy or Slacko code made by 01micko. Just check the code inside the quickpet scripts, and ask yourself, would you like to start changing it for Dpups. I am not yet willing to do it.

review Dpup Exprimo 5.X.8 SMP multicore optimized version

I had same problem as Billtoo. My first boot was a black screen
but subsequent boots have gone normally.

It recognized that I have only one processor in my PentiumIV
That's good

[pemasu]

don570. Thanks of the feedback here and in Pmusic thread. It was good idea to prerelease this while waiting next woof. Several fixable small bugs has been found and need for updates also. Couple of pinstall.sh scripts has been fixed, new updates will be loaded to the woof.
Also now we can really test latest Pmusic and give feedback.
About that black screen. I suspect e17 and hacked .xinitrc or something else to be suspect. I dont have that black screen problem after several pfix=ram boots.
/tmp/xerrs.log might give some explanation. Not sure of course.
Easy fix. I will make JWM as first wm when you boot to the next version.
Black screen is not nice, but if the real reason is not found, I am willing to circumvent. Usually the reason reveals after some time....

Joe Wing is back
He has uploaded JWM-2.10 rev 502 version which has several fixes.
Best thing.....Full screen bug has been fixed !
In attached pet is the new jwm binary, it installs just the jwm binary to the /usr/bin.
