Upup Raring 3.9.8.1 has been uploaded. It has non-PAE 3.9.8 kernel. Couple of new drivers for hardware has been enabled.

First. Thank you of the feedback when I uploaded the first 3.9.8 version. Several fixes were implemented from that feedback. Community effort comes true. Thank you all !

Latest woof of the time has been used.

Several applications has been updated: Gnome-mplayer, Pmusic, Pburn, gtkdialog, Jwm, Transmission, epdfview replaced with Evince.

PupControl, PupSysinfo and PupSnap has been updated. New Pup-Kwiev for kernel module info viewing has been included. Thanks Radky.

Deadbeef and Powertop has been added and several under the hood improvements to create better user experience. Deadbeef has been coupled with multimedia buttons and ctrl+alt+delete with Lxtask. Rox right click > window > terminal here > Lxterminal. I need Lxterminal when I compile kernel. Urxvt does not handle ncurses terminal resizing.

Ppower tray app > right click it > Hardware control > Powertop and laptop - netbook user can see watt consumption and there is also small tuning abilities included to reduce watt consumption a little. All the tray apps has right click menu for other properties. Check them.

Abiword plugins has been included.

I havent used eudev - kmod combo. I still use udev-167 and module-init-tools.

Lib*mm files have been removed and static gparted is in use instead.

Pemasu has graciously included the new PupControl-2.4 in Upup Raring 3.9.8.1.

The current PupControl-2.4 available on the forum is correct, but there is a bug in the version sent to Pemasu. Specifically, the fonts appear much too large in the Pup-SysInfo and Pup-Kview modules.

The fix is simple:

1 - Download PupSysInfo-Fix-UpupRaring-3.9.8.1.gz
2 - Remove the gz extension (not really a gz file)
3 - Click on PupSysInfo-Fix-UpupRaring-3.9.8.1
4 - This modifies the Pup-SysInfo and Pup-Kview files.

Note: this fix is only for Upup Raring 3.9.8.1

Thanks

I did a manual frugal install to the hard drive of an Acer desktop pc.

What have you stuffed into it?
Raring is getting fatter by the day.
That's summertime for you. That's what sun rays will do to Nordic devs.

Frugal install to the Athlon XP box. Zero problems so far.

I have uploaded nvidia-glx-319.23-k3.9.8 pet and sfs to the pet_packages-raring folder.

http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages-raring/

I dont have pet_packages-raring repo in PPM and probably there wont be. It will prohibit that I wont pollute the server with loads of pets which consume the server space.

I need to be wary how much stuff I upload to the hosted server. I use it with gratitude and the hosting capablities are granted by smokey01. We all know how important it is to have these facilities and to not overtax the services we have in use.

I want to express my thanks to smokey01 for his hosting services to the Puppy linux community.

I remastered my 3981 install and did a frugal install of the
remastered iso to an 8gb SDHC card which is running on my Acer laptop.

I tried installing the ati 13.4 modern pet that you provided but it
wouldn't get to the desktop, just get a black screen.

Started with a new savefile:

I downloaded and compiled the 13.6 beta driver, I loaded the kernel
source sfs and devx with sfs load on the fly and then exited to the
prompt and compiled the
amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-6-beta-x86.x86_64.run file, then did
aticonfig --initial and rebooted creating my savefile.
It is working, it shows an alert thing about an inch square in the
lower right corner of the screen which is always there but doesn't
show up on a screenshot, it says "AMD testing use only".

Anyway, it is working, XBMC works too

EDIT: I just repeated what I did above with a new savefile and the amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-x86.x86_64.run file and it's working fine.
