Now that I have finished playing with the 3.x kernel, next up will be an update version of Lupu Plus and Lupu Plus Libre that will include the amazing and impressive list of tweaks in rerwin's message above.

I'm confused.

didn't have the "two barks" prior to patch 8, iirc may not have had on pfix=ram install of lupulibre.

Notes: 1) If you have previously used the Lucid 5.2.8 Live CD,
it may have copied the lupu_528.sfs file to your hard drive.

When the new CD boots it will use that lupu_528.sfs without telling you,
so you need to delete it from your drive, or rename it, before you boot
the new CD. This will happen even if the lupu_528.sfs is in a directory.

2) If you use a frugal install,. a simple trick is to download the ISO,
click it to open it, and copy the lupu_528.sfs into the directory
hat holds the frugal install, replacing the old one.

Waiting for modules to complete loading . . . USB 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

What is causing the numbers following USB ?

Super Lupu will load but does not detect my realtek usb wireless 8192cu module...can someone please compile this module for the new kernel for me....

You may also want to consider this PPM improvement that allows searching multiple repos with multiple terms (eg video edit). Given the Luci/Ubuntu extended repos may be more useful than in any other puppy.
There is also a Lupu-compatible pet that also includes the pupy-common and puppy-noarch repos,

rerwin wrote:playdayz,
If you are considering adding the PPM improvement to lupu528, please wait. I see that some of the modified scripts are ones that I modified to make flash-drive installations work ( in patch-8 ).

rerwin wrote:When I made my changes for flash drive installations, I decided to avoid integrating the significant dependency corrections, because they were too much for me to take responsibility for as we are trying to finalize lupu (in some sense).

This works for me on first test mavrothal It is necessary to restart PPM after adding repos, I think.

Sulu installed frugal on ext2 partition.

Wirelesss works out of the box (didn't on Lupu 528 v5, or Wary. Does on Racy 5.3)
