Just noticed your post, thanks and Merry Christmas to you too. I mainly came out with it because I was quite disappointed in Ubuntu Rescue Remix and some of the other rescue CDs that are out there. It is in use by quite a few IT guys that I've worked with in various places.

Hi DPup,
I'm using Rescue Pup 2.3 again and it's going great. Only thing is that Firefox is only at version 5.0.1, so I've had to download nearly 40 MB to get it up to date (it didn't give me any choice but just did it automatically, in two goes; once up to Firefox 12 and then up to the latest version, 19.0.2).
Best wishes,
CP .

@ Colonel Panic: Glad to see that you are getting some good use out of PupRescue. I unfortunately forgot to disable auto-updates for Firefox in the older versions of PupRescue which is not the case in 2.5 and PupRescue Precise.
@ Umair: Sorry I haven't responded till now as I've been busy on other projects of mine at the moment. Avast! is in the system menu, however I would recommend checking out PupRescue Precise located @ http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84162 which uses ClamAV instead of Avast! and doesn't require a license to use.

There is no menu entry for ClamAV sorry I should have mentioned that. first thing to do is to update the AV database by running the command freshclam
next is to run clamscan recursively in the directory of your choosing. If I wanted to run it to scan my whole windows drive for example i'd do this
| Code: | | clamscan -r /mnt/sda1 |
Hope this helps you out and you can always PM me or ask any other questions about any of the programs or tidbits in either of the PupRescues that you have questions about. And don't worry about it telling you ClamAV is out of date , it was just updated about two weeks ago and was just minor bug fixes which don't affect it's performance in PupRescue.
Edit: I should also mention that the above command will only scan for viruses and not actually remove them, you need you add --remove to actually remove viruses with ClamAV so it would would more like
| Code: | | clamscan -r --remove /mnt/sda1 |

Hey there singlshot, sorry but i've been gone a few weeks. No quickpet is not included in PupRescue 2.5 and the PPM has all the package files removed from .Packages so if you take a stock copy of Lucid 5.2.8 and transfer it over to PupRescue 2.5 the PPM will work again.
Edit: As noted in one of my last posts above I do recommend PupRescue Precise over 2.5 due to the changeover from Avast! to ClamAV and the upgrading/bug fixes in a lot of the main tools.
