@ playdayz

since updating with IU002:

I'm getting slow response or a visable lockup in ROX when using the slide-bar to go down the directory if the directory has 2000+ files in it AND if I have rox set for icons display, if the directory has 2000+ files in it AND if it's set for list display, there are no problems and it's instant motion.

If it's a visable lockup, the up-directory-arrow takes me up a level and I can start again.

Not sure what can be done though!

what's different of pure-ftpd at lupu 520 and at lupu 528?
I use script in lupu 520 just working, and at lupu 528 not working. I'd already check it with pprocess process manager, and not appear.
This is my script (at startup) :
pure-ftpd -zMbBADHk 90 122:122 &

Instant Update 002 for Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 NOV 3, 2011

This update comes in 2 flavors. Download and click the pet to install. (This update is not for Three-Headed Dog, which will get its own update in a few days.)

Flavor 1 -> Multimedia is the Instant Update plus the updated Super Multimedia Upgrade. Use this if you already have the Super Multimedia Upgrade installed or if you want the upgraded multimedia features. This update is all you need. Install it on top of all previous updates. It adds the newest Mplayer with the newest 0.8.2 ffmpeg multimedia libraries plus the latest Pmusic 2.2.0 with some great features including Album Art and Lyrics. This update is 14MB to download but it will overwrite previous updates so no space will be wasted.

Flavor 2 -> Plain is just the Instant Update if you don't need the upgraded Multimedia features. Install it on top of previous updates. It is 4MB and will overwrite previous updates so no space will be wasted.

Possible Issue: If you lose video after installing the Update, please click the play icon on the desktop to open gnome-mplayer, then choose Edit -> Preferences, click the drop-down Video Output menu, and change to x11 (from xv). This is a no-win situation because DVD menus do not work well in x11.

There is some good stuff in this update

Gnome-mplayer is upgraded to 1.0.4 and has better handling of DVD Menus. XineDVD has better video quality plus a new skin. Pupsave Hot Backup to backup the save file--before doing anything risky - Menu -> Utility -> Pupsave Hot Backup. Pburn update to latest 3.4.1 - Menu -> Multimedia -> Pburn. GetLibreOffice - easy install of latest Libre Office - Menu -> Documents. Gnome-alsamixer is included - this is the mixer for those with multiple sound cards - each is displayed in a tab. Remaster Pup has improvements by rerwin. ALSA Sound Wizard has many improvements and can be used to select the default sound card. alsa-info.sh to get alsa info (run in terminal). PupControl updated to 1.7.7 by radky. SFS-Load updated to 1.2 by shinobar.. And I bet this is a first: the default Grey Glass Puppy wallpaper is updated by catdude with versions for 4x3 and wide screens--go to Menu -> Desktop Settings -> Nathan Wallpaper Setter, plus there is another new wide screen wallpaper by swiatmar. wcpufreq is updated to 0.8 by tazoc. retrovol is updated to 0.11 by pizzasgood. mms protocol plays with chromium-based browsers (Iron, Chrome, Chromium). Isomaster works now in right-click by don570. /tmp directory set to 777.

(This is not for Three-Headed Dog, which will get its own update in a few days.)

Here are more updates that some people may want.

Sylpheed 3.1.2 http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-lucid/Sylpheed-3.1.2-lucid528.pet

Dillo 3.0.1 http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-lucid/dillo-3.0.1-lucid528.pet

Would someone please describe the steps necessary to download 5.2.8 and install all necessary updates, at this point...
Just a little confused and want to begin anew.
Heartfelt thanks in advance,
