That would work if the repeat didn't happen so slowly. I have my typematic rate turned to highest, and it was still only copying a couple files a second when I tried that. So I had to resort to using my dexterity that luckily I still have in my hand to speed the process up. I figure I did on average 8 files a second that way, but my hand was worn out. At times I was probably doing 20 files a second, playing a little game to see if I could max out the cpu for a moment.
oops, that would max out the hd before the cpu.

NOT A BUG but there's a new version of xine-lib out.
From xinehq.de

Using Puppy 398, Beta 4
Bugs
Initially running Live-CD;
The Install Icon - brings up the Pet Package Manager. Is this normal or what install suppose to bring up Universal Installer or HD Install. Maybe I\'m thinking of standards like in Ubuntu.

After doing a Universal Install on USB flash device;
Was a hit or miss when trying to make device bootable.
Fat32 (lba) , boot flag- dos label
Also, most of the time get;
syslinux: possibly unsafe /tmp/permissions
and it doesn't write a bootable syslinux.
You will have to go here if your using windows and download syslinux.exe
and run;
syslinux.exe -sfma [USB drive letter]
http://syslinux.zytor.com/faq.php

Also, it starts to hang sometimes at 'switch-root'.
Also after creating .2fs file, hangs at Starting X, xorg.conf, even when selecting XVesa mode.

Novice question:
Why doesn't Puppy understand commands like;
Apt-get
I thought that was universal.



Suggestions;
Make Puppy Software Installer a standard app included in build. Pet Package manager is lacking.

Hello,

Was really glad when i tested the Dingo Alpha 1 that it works/loads both CPUS in my computer.

However when i try the latest release of Puppy 4 the Beta it however does not load the dual core in my pc?

I hope that the final version of Puppy 4 will use and autoload both CPUS´s.

To test if the Puppy is using both cores i typed this command: "cat /proc/cpuinfo"

Best regards,
Johan

Dotpuphandler is not working right. I installed it, then tried to install a .pup, and all I get when I click on it is a window with the filename. It doesn't actually install it or ask me if I want to install it.

Puppy 3.98 (beta) does not work in a Virtual Machine (Virtual Workstation 6.0.0) Hangs on: Uncompressing Linux... Ok booting the kernel

This is a shop stopper for lots of reviewers etc etc.

PS MD5 sum is good

I'll second the dotpuphandler problem.
You can also add me to the list of those whose sound settings are retained between boots. Both the main volume and PCM are zeroed and muted every boot.

Sound Problems,

I only sometimes get the sound problem. It doesn't happen every boot. I have found that when it does occur all I need to do get the sound back is right click the tray icon, this shows the mixer which I close immediately without touching any of the sliders. Hey presto sound comes back!

Hi just tried the beta and found that entering my password to my pup_save was displayed and not hidden as usual.

Ndiswrapper also does not work.

Do you plan to make firewall on by default ?
Here is short and ok :

[mclien]

File open dialog gxine:
still opens outside the screen, but is moveable with 'alt' key pressed.
Has anybody the same problem with this window, or is it a thinkpad 600 specific problem?

NFS:
I am yhe only one not able to do a nfs mount?
(even mount-FULL doesen't work)

is 4.00 the latest stable version or not yet?

that is what i understand first from the release notes.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/test/puppy-4.00beta/release-4.00b.htm
but on the websites, distrowatch, etc. it's still 3.01 ... and there is no "Dingo" mentioned

also, release notes say the file is puppy-4.00-seamonkey.iso, but really it's 3.98 ??
i'm not sure what exactly to download to be up to date... thank you to let me know
