I did a manual frugal install to a hp desktop pc.

VIDEO REPORT: Dpup Wheezy, version 3.5.2.5

Chip description:
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02)
Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416)
Video Decoder (rev 01)
Requested by /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Resolution (widthxheight, in pixels): 1440x900
Depth (bits, or planes): 24
Modules requested to be loaded: dbe
Probing Xorg startup log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log):

Loaded modules: dbe dri dri2 extmod fb fbdevhw glx kbd mouse record
Actual rendering on monitor:
Resolution: 1440x900 pixels (380x238 millimeters)
Depth: 24 planes

Installed from ppm: kdegames,lxterminal,and vlc-2.0.3
Installed from pets: xfe-1.34,mc-4.8.1.7,cmus-2.5.0,htop-1.0.2,and
PupSnap-2.1
I installed kdegames first and I noticed that it downloaded some vlc
files, it then prompted for more files to be downloaded but clicking
on the debian repo gave an error so nothing was installed, I
downloaded kdegames-card-data a second time and that succeeded and
installed all the other kdegames files as well.
Vlc 2.0.3 installed from ppm without problems.
I downloaded and installed google chrome from the google website but
trying to run it gives an error, it needs the same run-as-root fix as
vlc (if that's easyily done)
The ethernet autoconnected this time.

That's it so far, thanks.

I downloaded and installed opera_12.14.1738_i386.deb (debian version)
from the Opera website, it's working fine, I installed
flashplayer-11-11.2.202.270 with getflash.

Testing straight google-chrome install from .deb

Here is my post:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=686261#686261

And here is the fixed script to disable root user restriction from .deb google-chrome. Install the pet and after that install your wanted google-chrome .deb. Previously installed ones are not affected.
Happy testing.

Your fix works with google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb, nice job!

Overall, pretty uneventful testing.....very few problems.

I have updated the google-chrome-fix-for-deb-install-0.0.1.pet.
Now it has data and media cache restriction set to 10 Mb. So that the browser does not fill /tmp or savefile with browser accumulation data.

I reattach it here and also the previously posted pet in the post above has been updated. I think this is so important update that I post the update in this new post also....

Manual frugal install on a powerful P3 test box.All basics working on initial boot.A little slow but usable.

Try it without a save file. It seems to go ahead and create the mnt/home/<directory>s and work anyway. Not sure exactly what it is doing though as far as where the files really are and what happens to them when you create the save file.

[pemasu]

Yes...it creates the directories....but inside the ram. The directories are not linked to the hdd partition.
Try it without savefile and find some HD movie stream and watch that for one hour. I believe you will get warning that you are getting out of space and the movie stops....okay...almost everything stops until you restart X.

I will test it when I next time watch movie stream. Maybe this evening....maybe not.

I installed Wine using Package Manager including all the dependencies. But after successful completion, there are no menu entries. The .wine directory is also missing. Am I missing something obvious?
