Carolina 0.0.4 has been released. To obtain the ISO/.delta file, please go to the first post on this thread and goto the 'News' section.

Included in 004:
* Thumbnails now display correctly in Thunar.

* The latest gtkdialog4 (as of 26 NOV 2012).

* A faster probepart script that eliminates the 'hanging' upon shutdown experienced with some notebook setups.

* You can now drag 'n drop icons from the main menu or control panel to the desktop without the items being removed from their originating place.

* A new default wallpaper (hopefully it'll be "friendly" enough for everyone).

* Within Firefox, you can now go to 'Help/About', and Firefox will automatically download and install the latest version if a newer version is available.

* Upon first running the new version of Carolina, in the Preferences dialog, the firewall button now works as it should. This is a bugfix. It was originally included in 003, but didn't work correctly. In 004, it works as it should.

* When you open the puppy package manager, the Carolina repository list will automatically update itself so long as you're connected to the internet. Again, this was originally introduced in 003, but did not work correctly. In 004, it works as it should. Please note that if you're going to use other locations available in the repository (arch, wary, etc...), you'll want to update their package lists. But for Carolina, this will no longer be necessary so long as you have an internet connection.

thanks elroy

I actually caught the delta in the testing folder
This new one in the ISO directory seems to have a different md5 so I updated.

I don't know if it's just on my notebook but pupsaveconfig and grub4dos on 004 can't find any partitions.

Thanks

Booted 003 in an older hp dt with standard led monitor and everything seemed to behave properly. Looks good. Now to try 4.
Cheers

I really don't wanna say "I told you so"

but I'm gonna say it anyway...

I told you so peace!


to umair: try to do a chmod 755 or change permissions using thunar... you'll be able to run pupsave and it will find partitions but you'll probably get hang time during shutdown.


peace

yes, that'd be correct. The /sbin/probepart isn't executable, even though I checked for that being it was an issue in lite-002. Regardless, it isn't, and I'm re-uploading...

Uh? Can't find it? Went to p.1, item 1, saw the redirect to 'News', saw the redirect to 'Links', looked through the Parent Directory. Is it me?! Yes! A hint might help, though.
