mini-jaguar, have you gone through settings/control panel in kde or I think it should be option for kicker (taskbar) to add battery applet too. | The only way I can think of is with the right button on the task, but no battery/power applet is available.
I did try a .deb file from those earlier links, but it it didn't install properly, in fact the package manager didn't even acknowledge it existence.

I can suggest a quick fix for this. Drag and drop /usr/bin/shutdown on the desktop and create a symlink.
Or from the start menu use --> Settings --> Menu editor to add menu icon pointing to /usr/bin/shutdown

In Menu editor go to File -> New item and add New item button. Rename it to Shutdown, add icon from Actions and give the path to the executable file. See the attached picture.
I don't know how to move the Shutdown button down where the Logout button is but I guess it is not very important.
Edit: Then you can also put this shutdown button in the taskbar. Right click on the taskbar and choose Add Application to panel. You will see Shutdown as an option to add.

There is a 5.2.8 with KDE already:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=174592077&t=76376&sid=c6b32580f30d5243153ada21bf77b5f9
I think this is the exact page for it:
http://www.puppylinuxjosejp2424.com/2012/02/puppy-night-kde-463-mas-programas.html
and also here is something that adds KDE 3.5 to 5.2.8:

Hi, Bligh,
I use KDPup more than a year and if you need to update Firefox just let it do it automatic from the Preferences. See the attached picture with mine latest Firefox version.
Seamonkey is in Puppy5 repo in PPM but it can't be downloaded for some reason. May be it is temporary problem. Here is how you can get it work easy like portable application:
1. Download 3-seamonkey.squashfs from Sickgut's site here:
http://www.thepussycatforest.info/linux/squashfs/3-seamonkey.squashfs
Change the name of the file to 3-seamonkey.sfs and mount it with single click with Rox (in Konqueror choose open with rox). Open WWW folder, then open browser.zip archive and extract the content somewhere on your hard drive. Then go to the extracted folder and click on seamonkey shell script and you have working seamonkey.

@saintless Thanks for the response, I may try that. I have only run Dpup live so far. I prefer the kde 3 distro's and keep one installed to have those apps available but most have the outdated browser issue. I do have one install of Mepis 8.5 that I installed the current Seamonkey on from Mozilla. I also have some kde 4 distro's installed on the primary partition with a Puppy save file on the data partition. Pclinux seams to be the least offensive of the kde 4 distro's. Having kde 3 available on Puppy allows me to try other non kde distro's. I have been using current Puppies for internet browsing.
Cheers

Hi everyone. Just joined to see if I can get this puplet to work on very very old hardware. Me and a few others started Webdt.org. The Webdts are industrial tablet computers commonly found in home automation. Amd geode CPU and graphics and a 800x600 screen. Every time I try kdpup it breaks my monitor with either a wrong driver or its a resolution that is too much for the Webdt. I have tried all prefix option including nox and I still get jacked monitor. Can anyone offer suggestion for starting with VESA or geode driver for graphics or forcing a 800x600?
Thank you in advance

KDE3.5.10 + Dpup beta 5 Subject description: kernel 3.0.25 |
|
2015 : KDPUP the return ! Computers were low RAM in 2010, 2015 i own 4GB.
KDpup est en cuisine, KDPUP is on testbench for recycling, renewed by the 3.0.25 kernel. What people will think about it ?
I don't care. It's the fun.
Firefox : i would like an intermediate version, 15 would be fine.
How-to : see the topic 'how to switch the kernels' from this forum.
Pupsaves are KDPUPSAVE, i renamed to racysave because in fact the distro is a Racy 5.3
