It's working great on my hardware except for sound. With all required items at full volume in Retrovol and the speaker icon at full volume, there is still no sound. Attached is sys info report.

Jejy69's fine KDE4.10 works great as will as 01micko's get_libreoffice-027.pet. Also Bibletime and Xiphos programs are working fine.

Thanks,
Jim

Manual frugal install and Grub4Dos.

I've tested Pnethood and it's working well with this k3.2.29.

Video detected and running nouveau with Mesa DRI.

Connected to my print server after installing hplip_print-3.12.10a.

Successfully compiled Sylpheed 3.3.0.

This precise puppy is working good on my old kit:
P4 1.7 with 768mb and nVidia GeForce4 MX 440 sitting on an Asus P4PE motherboard.

Thanks for another great puppy!

Peace!

Absolutely amazing on my 10yr old Acer laptop. Manual frugal to ext3, booting with grub4dos.
All seems very good OOTB - very snappy and low resource usage / temp.
Looks good, feels good and generally outstanding all round. Many thanks.

If you hold your mouse in the position shown below (and perhaps click and move slightly, maybe with a task open) you will likely be able to crash jwm. However the 701 developer snapshot now fixes this.This is in precise 5.5RC and other versions of puppy also.

PPM fails to update correctly. After download 'Processing-packages-ubuntu-precise-universe into standard format' fails to complete.

Close to 30 mins to complete update here, but it did complete.

I'm continuing to run precise puppy 5.5RC.

Everything so far is running great. All my installs in PPM using ubuntu reps are working great.

Fonts look great even running wine.

Everything looks good and easy on my eyes.

I haven't tried installing nvidia 96.43.23 yet. I have to try that next. Even if that doesn't work, I like this puppy.

Thank you!
