Cheers

That is the correct md5, the first post has a link to all the md5sums.

I've deleted the v2.2 delta's due to a typo in the DISTRO_SPECS in the initrd.gz that's causing it to not find the puppy_xprecise_5.7.1.sfs. I'll re-upload a delta later today. In the mean time, you can dl the fixed initrd.gz from here http://carolina-linux.com/rg66/X-precise/initrd.gz or dl the DISTRO_SPECS below and edit the initrd.gz and replace it.

Here are a couple of things that can be done, geany don't show the correct color scheme, copy this filetypes.sh to /usr/share/geany/, the editor text will then show the same as in previous geany versions.

Add xfce4-volumed /root/Startup/ then the volume control will have a on screen notification when the volume is changed

Oh you did the initrd Rod, cool

I've re-uploaded the v2.2 delta's, sorry for any inconvenience.

Non-PAE delta still in your plan? No pressure and thanks.

vicmz upload ISO small error.

The ISO file contains puppy_xprecise_5.7.1.sfs
The installation procedure call: puppy_precise_5.7.1.sfs
It can easily be repaired, but pay attention to it!

Apart from that nice work, puplet still love it,

The ISO file I uploaded was generated with one of those deltas, so I'll have to delete it. I'll re-upload later to keep helping a little bit.

EDIT:

Thanks for confirming this issue.

I have put both the delta and ISO up on the archive (http://archive.org/details/Puppy_Linux_X-precise)

The new ISO of X-Precise 2.2 is online at Yandex, too:

I want to use a keyboard language layout switcher and add it to the panel but I have no idea how to do this.I ve downloaded xxkb_1.11 from the PPM but nothing happens.In puppy precise 5.7.1 was too easy to do this.
But I like very much the xfce and since I want to use 3 languages to write(English,Greek and Russian) it would be great if anybody can help me to sort this problem out.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, the v2.2-non-pae ISO and v2.1.1-non-pae > v2.2-non-pae delta have been uploaded here

Many thanks to vicmz and ally for hosting the pae ISO, I'll upload it eventually.

I tried and failed to compile the Xfce keyboard plugin to switch layout.

The only thing I could say to try is to go to /usr/share/applications and open mouse/keyboard wizard in geany and change NoDisplay=true to NoDisplay=false, it will show up in Control Panel under system. You could also change Categories=X-Setup-wizard to Categories=System to have it in the apps menu.

You could also make a launcher on the panel to launch it without editing the .desktop file, use input-wizard as the exec.

Thank you very much.I did what you said to me and now I use the layouts I want and I even have a language indicator with the flags on my panel.You did a great job.

Suspend works on my desktop and I'm pretty sure my lappy as well but I'll test again.

Run acpitool -s from the terminal and see if it suspends, if it does it's probably something in /etc/acpi/sleep.sh script. If it doesn't, I'm not sure what to do. On one of my laptops acpitool hangs and I haven't found a fix.

Edit: If acpitool -s doesn't work try from terminal: echo mem > /sys/power/state

What kind of laptop is it? There might be something in the repo to make the keys work. I'll test on my laptop and see if any of the keys work.

rg66... Thank you for the above input... RE: /etc/acpi/sleep.sh script... I deleted "sleep.sh" in x-precise 2.2 and replaced it with a copy of the "sleep.sh" from x-precise 2.1.1... I can now suspend my laptop with the shutdown-gui or by closing the lid.

Thank you once again for pointing me in the right direction.
