Manual frugal to ext2 SDcard, booting with grubb4dos, running on E732 laptop.

Very quick test - and all so far seems good.
ntfs read / write works. Did a copy / move / delete of random files.
All the basics seem to work as expected OTB. No obvious issues.

edit:

been using this for the last 5ish hours with no issues or unexpected surprises - looks and feels very good.
Loaded thunar - lots of general file twiddleing - SeaMonkey good on all usual sites and a few not so usual ones - all good.

Did a few installs to USB drives and sticks - all good.

Overall - from a casual user viewpoint - all good - very fast / responsive.
Luvly puppy.

Next job - try on 10yr old Acer laptop and report.

posting from Precice 5.7.1 test now - using the 10yr old Acer laptop. Very nice - considering the limited spec.

This puppy has one of the most intuitive setup procedures around - it walks you thru what needs to be done nicely.
Can’t go wrong - excellent.

Above is long discussion about ntfs-3g behavior concerning win8 ntfs partition.

It seems there is debate if the recent ntfs-3g version behavior is bug or not.

Manual frugal install to a 16gb SDHC card, computer is a Compaq
Presario S6700NX.
video-info-glx 1.5.3 Fri 2 Aug 2013 on Precise Puppy 5.7.1 Linux 3.2.48 i686

Everything seems fine so far except when running pmusic as user spot
it won't shut down, you have to restart x to quit pmusic.
Pmusic shuts down properly when running as root.

EDIT:peasy_dvd_player-1.1.pet works great.

EDIT: I couldn't download VLC until I updated ppm, then it downloaded
the latest version which was a surprise :)

The problem with running Pmusic as user spot doesn't end with
restarting x, stream ripper keeps ripping even after doing that even
though Pmusic is no longer running.

If you're going to post test results in this forum, would you please post a link to where the iso can be found? Other people might be willing to do some testing. :)
