I can recommend it to others trying to find a browser to install in Carolina. The one snag is that glibc needs to be upgraded to 2.11, for which I believe you need the two files mentioned in this thread;
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=58130
which are hard to get hold of now. (I'd saved mine to my storage pendrive a year or so ago so already have them).
@ rg66:
I installed the slimboat browser from the above post of CP from carolina alongwith the glibc and other pet file from the link x-precise. After restarting the system, it takes me to the prompt to setup the X. I tried to set the x window the xorgwizard command, but Its not working. Can u give me some tips that how to fix this ? I m using frugal installation.
Thnx in Advance.

X-precise already had glibc-2.15 so it must have broken something with the 2.11 package. Not sure how to fix that other than removing the savefile and starting over. Maybe you can manually edit the savefile and remove the glibc package, not sure.

Thanks for reply rg66:
I removed the savefile and setup the fresh installation. Actually I was running windows xp inside of x-precise. Some of the documents were in xp box. I successfully recovered as used the existing .vhd file option from vbox
. Got the lesson
(Before Trying Anything Fancy, take the backup of savefile First
)
Take Care

Good to hear you got it working. It sounds like Wine is over writing something in LibreOffice with a older version. What I would try is to boot without a savefile, load wine manually with SFS-load and then load the newer LibreOffice to see if it and Wine work ok.
I would think SFS's are loaded alphabetically or maybe by order in SFS-load. If this works you could try renaming the Wine SFS to something like aWine or whatever so it loads first, or making sure Wine is in the SFS-load list first.
Just guessing though.

I use X-precise-2.2 pretty much all the time. I think it's necessary today to cut off the automatic "screensaver" mode, but I've yet to find it. Have a great weekend!!

I didn't see anything in the menu to do that, but you can do it in terminal, " xset +dpms " turns it on and " xset -dpms " turns it off.

That will turn off dpms (energy star), but you also need to turn off screen blanking.

Got me on that one. Can you access the partition if booting into RAM? Is it an ntfs partition? If so you may need to do a "chkdsk /f" on a windows machine.
It might be looking for fsckme.flg and it's not there or corrupted. Are you using grub4dos? If so does the precise entry have "pfix=fsck"? Maybe get rid of that and try again.
Just guessing though.

Hi rg66:
I removed the pfix=fsck entry from the menu list but the result was same. After that I tried "chkdsk/f" from windows, restarted that system. Everything goes fine. Now I can access the root partition (which is NTFS) without any issue.
Thanks for the help.

x- precise is my most used puppy. I cannot express how much i love the feature - that gives me a choice "to save or not save" when i shutdown.
great THANKS to rg66!
Wish I was rich enough to send donations for your work.
Really appreciate x-puppy precise!
