Thanks for this one! I'm posting from it now, it's a good replacement for the old Puppy Slacko FAT which was showing its age on my machine (Seamonkey kept crashing on it).

Cheers,

Just downloaded the .ISO last night, burned to CD, and did a test boot on my Thinkpad T410s, i5, 2.4 ghz. Runs fine. Just set up and did a frugal install to a 16 GB USB thumb drive, and have it booted up on T410s. Everything detected/setup out of the box. Wireless setup was effortless (as usual with Puppy). The only thing I had to configure was activating "tap" on the touchpad, which took a whole (gasp!) 30 seconds.

Looks like an excellent job here. I'm going to look forward using it!

Thanks so much for all the great work!

Works real smooth on AAO Acer Aspire One netbook with 1.5 GB ram @ 1.6 GHz, and Fujistsu Siemens. 4 GB ram @ 3 GHZ
Good job.
Installed VLC & Skype.

VLC has some recording "editing" functions very handy to save clips from the file it reads.
You can pause recording during advertising windows to get an ad free video/audio file.
You need to set the advanced controls ON in the view tab.
Also reads ALL codecs I run accross.

How nice to have a loaded puplet that needs just a bit of customization to fit my needs without having to install all myself (Lazyness rimes with happiness).

I love Puppy for it's small size and speed, but I end up needing quite a bit of software and I always favor a clean new install to any upgrade, so a 600 + MB .iso is fine since I run some not too old computers (3-5 years) anyway.

Thanks for your efforts.

It is all working fine now.
Changed the soundcard in Skype from "default" to "HDA intel ACL268"
It somehow fixed it in MHWave too.
Internal and external mics OK.

I am neither a developer nor an expert in linux, but just an occasional end user. I was wondering who has ever made a puppy derivative (may I call it Tinhat puppy, that is it contain all the application that one can think of : office, multimedia, internet, Samba, international language support etc etc and can totally run in ram. Of course it should contain my favourite browser Google Chrome). If there were such a puppy derivative, then Micro$oft people may be unable to sleep every night.

I have started organizing for the next "fat" Puppy and i need your opinion! Which applications would you like to see in the iso?

Please answer here!!

hi koulaxizis:
Nice work. Everything working fine. Tested on Intel Dual Core 2.66 Mhz with 01 GB RAM. No issue in live mode, but when ever I want to use a FRUGAL installation, its get stucked at boot at the following text:

Puppypc4274 login : root (automatic login)
login [7714]: root login on 'tty1'

Never saw this error before in any Puppy. It is also confirmed that I already checked the md5. So no error in download. May be something wrong with inittab file. Any Idea ?
