wary 5.1.3.2
- flv files don't show image
- csv files should be open with gnumeric
- fsck.ntfs doesn't exist
- changing keyboard language needs to restart X ? is there another way ?
- universal installer doesn't create menu.lst for grub

cannot open hotmail emails with seamonkey is it possible to install puppy with ext4 ?

dmesg says which modules make that ?

Some empty dirs :
/etc/belocs
/etc/dbus-1
/etc/gftp
/etc/pam.d
/etc/simple_network_setup
etc...

Cannot modify files in ntfs partitions ?

/etc/group are you sure all that is needed ? same for /etc/gshadow,

/etc/host.conf should be ?

order hosts, bind
multi off
nospoof on

/etc/profile should contain exported variables only

With mouse wheel scroll, it goes from window to window,
and also shades seamonkey sometimes...confusing...

It's after 3 am here so......Wary 5.14 RC w/uniprocessor-configured kernel.
Fresh manual frugal install.

Everything working on initial boot,sound,internet and display, and all survived reboot. No problem with mounting and unmounting usb flash drives to install pets.

Also downloaded the SMP version,will test both on some different hardware after I get some sleep.

James C,
Could you also please test the Video Upgrade Wizard and install the commercial nVidia driver. I need to know that it still downloads and installs ok.

test the Video Upgrade Wizard

- see your blog, BK. Second file didn't d/l for me on uniprocessor with nV6200 PCI_E.

Same thing here,second file failed to download.

First file downloaded and installed no problem.

Hi Barry

Just a quick noob report to say all seems to be working well
with wary 5.1.3.4_smp.iso.

Manual frugal to sda1 using grub4dos to boot. ext3.
800mb ish swap partition. 256mb ram. 2.5Ghz celeron proc.
9yr old Acer 243LC laptop.

Good news - SNS works as expected.

Maybe a later grub4dos version for final (eg 1.7).

Thanks for everything you do - much appreciated.

Very best regards - Ray

Inspiron 700m single core.

Did full installs of uni and smp.

Smp had a few problems finding usb devices at first;
needed to be unplugged -plugged-rebooted.

Smp also uses 10mb more ram according to htop.

Wary 514 RC smp live pfix=ram.Everything working on boot. No problem using usb flash drive. Using all 4 cores.

Thanks for the feedback.

I think that I have fixed the nVidia package download. Grab these two files, gunzip them, place them in /usr/local/video_upgrade, right-click->Properties and make sure the 'execute' flags are set.

Looking at the thread:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=51697

It seems that 1.7 is still being tested. 1.6.3 is latest stable release.

Video upgrade now downloads both files correctly.

However, the wrong driver 71.86.14 is recommended for this card (should be the 96), but went ahead and downloaded to verify that part worked.

Manual frugal install of the SMP version on the same Athlon XP box. Resource usage appears to be about the same in both versions..Once again,everything good on initial boot.

Manual frugal install to hp desktop.
I used the video setup wizard to download and install the intel driver.
Wired network and sound good.

- retrovol crashes
- cannot modify or save ntfs files ?

The usb drivers are now builtin to the kernel.

I have no problem with saving to ntfs.

I have no problem on any of my PCs with retrovol.
