Installed gtk+-2.24.8-w5c.pet with DEV on Wary Puppy 5.2.1.90.
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02594

Some troubles remains with the nVidia commercial driver(gimp-2.7.1 still crashes),
but seems better:
Insert key on seamonkey... OK.
Combobox of gtkdialog3/gtkdialog4... OK.
I compiled gimp-2.6.11 against the gtk+-2.24.8-w5c and works OK(was crashed when opening new files).

gimp-2.6.11-w5c.sfs

The "new" GTK solved the problem: opening Remove builtin packages does not hog the CPU. Thanks, Barry.
However, after I went thru the process and removed Abiword, Gumeric and Seamonkey (plus others) and finally got a directory for the new ISO, I found that it contains broken files: initrd.gz was about 760 bytes and vmlinuz was only 32 bytes long. What is strange, too: the sfs file was only a little smaller than the original one: 122 MB.
I repeated the process twice with the same result. Then I replaced the broken files with the original initrd.gz and vmlinuz to see what happens: yeah, the packages disappeared.

Fresh manual frugal install of Wary 5.2.1.91on my Athlon XP box.Sound,internet and display all good on initial boot.
No problems now with any of the dropdown boxes.
Rebooted and all settings remained persistent.Looks good so far.

During further testing I've noticed that web pages are very,very slow to load in SeaMonkey.Installed Opera 11.51 with the same result.
Also reported by testers in the Racy thread.

The automatic download of the flashplayer didn't work for me. It seems the file was downloaded, but it was an error reported that installation failed.
After that I installed the flashplayer 10 from the Puppy Package Manager. Installation was fine, but using SeaMonkey all web pages with some flash load very very slow. Sometimes delays of 1-2 minutes.
I didn't create any save file and rebooted. Tested SeaMonkey wihtout any flashplayer installed and the web pages are loading at normal speed.

5.2.1.91:

Hi Barry

I regret to have to report that this Wary 5.2.1.91 seems to contain the same new Broadcom B43 firmware as is contained in Racy 5.2.1.91 and as a result does not work with my wifi.

I could see from dmesg that newer firmware was being used. [edit]screenshots of ucode13 properties attached showing different dates and sizes - the April 2008 firmware has been around since pup4.3.1 at least...)[/edit]

I copied the old firmware from Wary 5.2 and my B43 wifi then worked as before.

This is definitely a retrograde step for me - and presumably other B43 owners.

Thanks
peebee

Wary Puppy 5.2.1.91:
Insert key on seamonkey... OK.

gimp-2.6.11-w5c.sfs compiled against the gtk+-2.24.8-w5c also works on Wary Puppy 5.2.1.91(gtk+-2.20.1-1-w5?).
