Thank your majorfoo. The initial reports by you sounds encouraging. Remastering seems to behave with rerwin`s scripts. I am sure he is delighted to read your feedback.

I installed exprimo to a 4gb flash drive.
Installed devx,kernelsourcesfs,and NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.22.run
I installed a few pets.
Did you know that VLC is up to version 2.0.3?
I'm using a vlc that I made in racy, works good in Exprimo too.
5.X.3.4.2.9 is working well so far.

Hi pemasu,

I'm really sorry to have to do this, but I'm sure you want to know.
The Broadcom 43 issues which were occurring with the earlier versions prior to 5.X.3.4.2.8 have regressed in 5.X.3.4.2.9.

I have no wifi and shutdown/reboot fails. This error occurs whether attempting to create a save file or not.

The results of pmodemdiag is attached.

Terry H. Thank you of your valuable report. Something is definitively wrong with my build concerning broadcom detection. But it will be fixed. I reported to rerwin about your feedback. It might be that I have missed some crucial file or then the logistics still need polishing.

Experiment 7 by rerwin has been included. All previous broadcom detection stuff has been removed. That is not the problem. The problem needs investigation. There is error in logistic or I have missed something.

Upgraded from 5.X.3.4.2.8 to 5.X.3.4.2.9 today. I booted from CD, left the old save file where it was (on a USB flash), which was updated to .9 at boot.

There were some problems:
- Frisbee did not want to go wireless, eth0 was OK.
- Pfind could not find any files from root and froze at some point. Had to
close/kill it.

I tried to send a detailed attachment, but for some reason that doesn't work for me.

I did not investigate further. A bit desperate, I booted from the old .8 CD and voila, everything works like before.

Could the trouble have to do with the old save file?

Anyway, I'm working on a GPS navigation program that I want to have up and running in two weeks from now. So far it works well on .8, so I stick with it for now.

Just wanted to let you know.

As always. When you have problem when using old savefile. Test with puppy pfix=ram (cd usage) or pfix=ram (frugal installation) booting to ensure that the problems are not caused by using older savefile. I have upgraded several applications, including dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant which might affect to the wireless connection if you use old savefile.
