Thanks for this pre-alpha which is very fast and shows much promise.
Install of the image was to a 16GB micro SD card using 7-Zip and Win32diskimager in Win10.
Issues observed together with some partial dirty fixes:
1. Change of wallpaper does not survive a restart of X.
2. jwm -p showed that the single included theme is not compliant (invalid tags) but more seriously
/root/.jwmrc-personal has gone AWOL.
Ah!, I see it is no longer used in this version of jwm.
The include for it needs to be commented out in /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc
as follows:
<!-- <Include>/root/.jwm/themes/jwm-default</Include> -->
<Include>/root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme</Include>
<!-- <Include>/root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal</Include> -->
</JWM>
Then run fixmenus.
Compliant themes for the later version of jwm were installed from here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 688#869688
With that change & the new compliant themes jwm -p is silent.
3. Hardinfo refused to launch suggesting that permissions were a possible cause.
They were O/K, but I resolved the issue by copying /usr/lib/hardinfo to /usr/lib64
4. The exec line in Urxvt Terminal Emulator desktop file points incorrectly at rxvt. (Changed to urxvt)
5. Font display in older apps such as HTOP is poor and can be fixed by installing a couple of extra DejaVu fonts.
6. IMHO Fontwizard settings should be engaged OOTB as CRT usage is now minimal and all LCD screens benefit from it.
7. Rox Pinboard foreground still has the old yellowy colour from an earlier Quirky theme. Changed to FFFFFF for better clarity.
8. Desktop item "file" currently as I type, shows as --dir=/mnt/sde2/home
The problem with that is sde2 is a variable depending on what sticks/cards are plugged in at boot time.
Might it be possible to first set and then use in that path a global environment variable for the drive
so that the intended target is always reached?
9. SNS not connecting at first boot was seen. I cannot find anything that has changed in SNS but have seen this issue in
WoofCE Pups. In addition in recent Pups I have seen intermittent failure to connect subsequently following a reboot.
The profile is not lost but is not read. Changing to a static I/P does not cure the problem but at least eliminates
DHCP as a suspect. I do wonder whether this is something to do with more recent kernels/firmware when 2 viable cards
are detected, i.e wireless & ethernet. In the past it was quite common to need to install additional firmware before a
wireless/bt card became available for selection.
10. ListDD-2.0 was installed and used for a system check that revealed the following missing libs:

12. The included Get Flash v 1.7.1 no longer works. Fixed by installing update_flash-1.8.
EDIT 29th Sept - Correction 1.8 only pulls in the 32-bit version of flash so v 1.7.1 does in fact need fixing.
