Make a copy of your file pup_save.3fs from time to time before installing new programs.

Then you easily can restore a stable system.

Because I did the frugal install on top of an existing full HDD install so I now have:
pup_save1.3fs sys
pup_save.3fs

1.3 is the newer.

Do I ignore the original one?

I notice flashplayer-9 is still crashing the browser when clicking some links on web pages but is working OK on some other distro's I've tried. Also it's install script doesn't run in Puppy:

sh-3.00# ./flashplayer-installer
./flashplayer-installer: line 69: iconv: command not found
./flashplayer-installer: line 76: [: `)' expected, found 2

ERROR: Your glibc library is older than 2.2.
Please update your glibc library.

So it gives a false message about the glibc library. Of course it's easy enough to install manually and will work fine for most things, but crashes the browser when you click on certain links. Flashplayer-7 doesn't crash the browser but some websites only work with the newer version.

In case someone reads this thread -- the Puppy developers are working
on a fix to the Flash 9 mess.

It seems a shame that with all the money these commercial entities
have they would do a better job of testing their products prior to
release -- unless they have intentionally sabotaged Linux in favor of
MS.

There is evidence that the Flash 9 bugfix for Puppy 2.14/Seamonkey
1.0.6 is already working for many sites and will soon solve the problem completely.

Until the next quality-challenged version of Flash hits the streets.

:roll:
