We can also set permissions :
For example : user group others = rwx r-x r-x = 7 5 5

Barry,
Since you are planning another release of precise pup, I request that you consider adding some of the packages I have provided for the integration of frisbee. Adding these three packages would simplify the installation and trials of the remaining, frisbee-specific packages by users/testers.

These packages do not impact the functioning of puppy without the frisbee-specific packages:

The net_setup and wag_profiles packages simply move wag-profiles.sh into its own package, so it can be shared with frisbee and updated independently when wifi drivers are added. The woof_updates package adds frisbee interfaces to the connect wizard and AppRun, and provides a dhcpcd interface script to utilize the dropwait feature if present. Wag-profiles now includes the use of that script.

To facilitate developers' inclusion of the new frisbee package, please add a woof slot for it. The remaining two packages are alternatives for the dhcpcd and network_tray slots. I assume you are not yet ready to add the frisbee-dropwait-network_tray updates, but feel the listed three can be added with no impact to puppy. Note, however, that the old "Frisbee" package in the library will not work with the new connect interface, but should not be used instead of the integrated version.

The latest versions of the six packages are here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=662521#662521 (frisbee)
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=662518#662518 (the others)
As well as in the Frisbee-beta2 thread.

Currently, the new dhcpcd...dropwait and network_tray-2.6 could be added to the puppy repo. I am adding Argolance's internationalization mods to the frisbee package. So, please wait for the internationalized version before adding frisbee to the repo.
Richard

UPDATE 2/7/2012: The internationalized version of frisbee is now the "latest", although I expect some further "fine tuning" to be done. Also, I have provided a renamed network_tray package (at the above link) to correspond to its being an alternative to 2.5 instead of an upgrading replacement. I assume that the choice gets put into the "slot" for network_tray and is not a separate slot. The same goes for the dropwait version of dhcpcd. Please instruct me if you need a different naming format. I believe, now, that the "frisbee" set of packages is ready for release. Thanks for considering it.

When we are speaking of wireless...
Rtl8192cu has had problems. I have provided couple of times...in separate threads the 8192cu proprietary driver for those people without working wireless....succesfully.

It could be reasonable to provide the alternate driver in official repo. If possible. The pet modifies the MODULESCONFIG and gives preference for 8192cu....so it is not probably suitable to be in base sfs.

I'm getting two spaced audio pops when precise inits alsa.
When alsa shutsdown it leaves line out with a hum (sounds like an open circuit hum one gets from an ungrounded input cable) other distros are not doing this such as fatdog

I run the scripts on their own, but was not sure if real bugs.
I run programchooser on its own. It is by "Nathan F" see http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=201571

Precise Puppy 5.4.3

gconf is replaced by dconf, /etc/gconf/ not necessary.

There is /dev/acerhk but "modprobe acerhk" doesn't work.
There is /dev/cfs* (coda file system cache), not sure if needed.
There is /dev/dazuko but "modprobe dazuko" doesn't work.

Barry,

This is a rider to my previous post to be found here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=680032#680032

I believe that many of the problems with boot codes stem from the fact that some of the definitions in the official help to be found on the typical ISO by pressing F2/F3 are too open to interpretation and therefore can cause confusion.

So, using the two working examples from that post I will attempt in this post to
re-define/expand a couple of the more contentious codes ensuring that they are valid for both examples and other boot methods.

A couple of real world working examples:

CASE 1: Kernel on 16 MEG Smartmedia with main sfs & savefile on NTFS HDD (sda1)

Super thanks! Sound card stopped working with all linux kernels past 2.6.35. Still refuses to work in ubuntu precise; however, I was surprised that it worked perfectly using 4.5.3 Puppy Precise.

Since XP is nearing end of life, I was getting desperate to find a Linux distro that worked with a newer kernel. Puppy is perfect because it is so resource light:-)
