NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400, can you tell me what driver version is in Lupu 5.2.5? 96.43.x?

Note to esrom02:

I have that graphics card and it is compatible
with all Puppies, so if you're having problems don't
blame the graphics card.

Lupu525 uses the nv graphics driver for this card.
It's the built-in driver.

If you want a bit more speed you can easily upgrade
to NVIDIA-96.43.16_lupu500-k2.6.33.2.pet

available at this site

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-lucid/

but this driver won't work with any other Puppy variant
other than Lupu.

Hi

this Puppy is one of the more smallest recent Puppys (or are you knowing more Puppy with this size with about complete packages depository at https://archive.org/?).

I find it very important for fast interventions in the PC ("would" be my task force in my PC!).

would?

only?

yes... poor slacko has the same desagrements as the most Puppies: for a confortable use, you need to have an old save file for it, the content is not actual any more. all is old in such an old save file excepted localisation, xorg and KB settings... it is nonsens to preserve such old savefiles excepted if you want have a museum of your old works...

or you must answer a complet book of question in the starting phase and shutting down you system!

is there no way to save only the most minimal amount of entries in an remastered version of it to make the start and shutting down immediate and avoid all this highly bureaucratic approach of start and reboot/shutdown without any question (like some RSH compositions does! It is possible: they also are all real Puppies...)
