The update worked but took quite a long while.

How long is a long time? More than 10 minutes? More than 15 minutes?

Close to 30 mins to complete update here, but it did complete.

I'd guess that it took between 10 and 15 minutes on this pc:

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
Core 0: @1603 1: @1603 2: @1603 3: @1603 MHz

EDIT: I reran the update and it took 7minutes and 7 seconds to update ppm.

Thanks, Billtoo. I will try again tomorrow and be more patient.

I'm continuing to run precise puppy 5.5RC.

Everything so far is running great. All my installs in PPM using ubuntu reps are working great.

Fonts look great even running wine.

Everything looks good and easy on my eyes.

I haven't tried installing nvidia 96.43.23 yet. I have to try that next. Even if that doesn't work, I like this puppy.

Thank you!

Where does this information come from? A log file or do you enter a script from CLI?

Thanks.

I'm new to using linux distros and i really want to use puppy, so i installed precise puppy 5.5 on a cd yesterday and when it started, my screen resolution didn't fit my monitor ( i suppose this can be fixed with nvidia drivers? i use a gtx 670 ) and also, my keyboard (razor anansi) wouldn't work. i tried setting the keyboard to usb in one of the settings but it didn't work. can someone help me?

Diarthorosis,

I can't tell you about video drivers, that's out of my league, but you can go to menu>set-up>Quick set up first run settings and in the video section, it gives you an opportunity to run the video wizard. If that doesn't work, In my experience, changing the refresh(?) rate has solved the problem. My apologies if you have already ran this without any luck. Maybe someone with more experience can help you if this doesn't work.
