Shinobar. Thank you of clarification. I think that I would go with your fully fixed version. Functionality first.
I will download latest woof this evening. I will take my laptop to Lapland. At evenings I usually have there couple of hours free time. So I can start to test latest woof and my latest kernel compile.

Exprimo 5.X.10.2 boots, localization works, Xorg accepts 1600x900x24.
Xwin doesn't start, I have to wait for some seconds then the prompt returns.
What a pity! :cry:

Thank you, but unfortunately trying to start Xwindows from the console repeats the problem. I wait for some time and the prompt returns.

An audible warning would be great, I have had unexpected shutdowns several times because I failed to notice that the battery was low,

I just got back from Lapland. Back in civilization now. Had really fun in lapland. I saw a lot reindeers and great views along ski tracks. Herd of reindeers even came to our camp and they licked our bus as high as they could. There was street salt in the sides of bus and that attracted them.

About Vattery. There is only one problem. I would need help from Jemimah so that vattery-acpitool would be updated to the 3.1.X level. It seqfaults. I dont have the source of vattery-acpitool and even with source I am not sure I would know how to patch it.
But Vattery and vattery-ibam works ok. I will attach the pet here. But it is without that vattery-acpitool. So it wont work for everybody. Vattery-ibam is quite old stuff, it wont recognize right all batteries. And I cant help there if it does not.

I start now to read through 150 posts made during my vacation. And all mail noticed threads. I am afraid that I cant be very active though. I will have hard weeks ahead in my work. And my vacation didnt help that.
I didnt do any Puppy stuff during my Lapland time. I used my free time with my professional reading, I had couple of hours time every evening to read a lot stuff I will need during next weeks. So I will follow but wont produce much.

Okay. I made test build with recompiled 3.1.0 and it seems to work. I didnt use the latest woof1 version but the one I used with previous build and I didnt update anything, I just wanted to test that the kernel is sane. Firewall script should be ok now. The firewall modules are now compiled as modules, not as static as in previous kernel. So the rc.firewall script does not complain about unable to load modules. (You cant load something which is compiled statically and is already usable).

I will start to read back this thread and also other threads about things to update.
Fontconfig has been changed back to previous version as Stu90 suggested.

Next thing would be to start learning woof2. I havent even checked it so far. But I think 01micko has used it already ? ....so it should be usable.....I think.

Hah. I couldnt let my hands be out from woof2. I have now it installed and I am ready to start working with it. But...now comes my tough days with work. I probably dont have much time with puppies until Christmas....and then it is time to be with friends...relatives...parents...sister and her husband...kids...and so on.....

HI Pemasu !
(working on a single core toshiba laptop ..if this is somehow important ( I am a Linux newby ) )
I am using dpupexprimo 5.9 on a USB stick .
I like this " no save at shutdown " option a lot (experimenting with new installations ,settings and changes without damaging my setup ,because i can avoid saving unwanted changes quite comfortable) and it works well on that version.

I now tested this in dpupexprimo 5X10 .
Dpup 5X10 works well so far , except this "no save at shutdown " option,which is quite an important tool for me (says it doesnt save- but it does ).
Wanna ask you if there is a chance (maybe sooner or maybe later ) to make it work in this version too ? I do not know how to to do it..
My live does not depend on that thing -- -- but ... miss it somehow..

There is another "bug" i found ..pmount does not work.Using Ymount instead. .. this works ..but not so important .

All in all ----beautiful distro .

ha... just realized, Ive been posting about 5x8 in the 5x9 thread, but now
with 5x10.2 working, I should be posting here : - )

Dpup Exprimo 5.x.10.2 is going to be tough to improve on.

Backi. Pmount problem should have been fixed in 5.X.10.2 version.
About not saving with usb flash.
Rerwin has already provided pet which has that kind solution embedded in rc.shutdown script. It creates on option save or not save the session.

The patch-5 pet was posted in lucid thread. I can hunt it down tomorrow and made a pet which has only that script included.

The post content has been removed. The right proposition to backis post is couple of posts below with attached pet.
There should be the solution for usb booting, PPM installation without saving straight to the savefile and rc.shutdown fix with save-or-not-save-dialog.

Hi pemasu !

I forgot to mention that , when i install new pets or Debs (new programms), which i sometimes just want to test without installing or maybe keep them later, if i like them , they go directly to USB stick . The light of the Usb stick is flickering . They dont stay in RAM . I cant prevent them from saving, despite using later "no save at shutdown" option .

Gonna try your pet . Will report result later .

Thank you !
