Screenshots:


This is mostly a bugfix release with a newer kernel. So don't expect nothing fancier. And please note that things like proprietary drivers won't work unless you recompile kernel modules against this new kernel (nVidia display drivers, ATI catalyst, VirtualBox, etc.)

Hai Wow,

I understand that your puplet is something special.

However being a non-tweaker, I do not understnad why.

What can a simpleminded person like me do with it.

How to install sfs's pup's etc.

Or is your puplet vizually a tool for tweakers and not for those illiterates like me ?

Hi Wow

This is simply stunning - wow is an understatement.
The effort you have put into this is clearly considerable
and you have produced a Puppy Showpiece.

Absolutely amazing.

All the more so that it is running very reasonably
on my 6yr old ram challenged laptop.
(VIA Nehemiah 1ghz proc. 91mb ram. 250mb swap)

Many, many thanks for an absolute WOW=winner of a Puppy.

Very best regards - Ray

Hi Wow
Great to use a kernel that actually recognizes and uses my dual-core processors. Conky shows both working independently.
Not sure whether it's a function of your desktop manager, but choosing 1280x800 (my notebook's native screen resolution) in Xorg always results in a screen resolution of 1024x768.
The good news is that it also displays on my external 1440x900 monitor well enough to use, without my usual nVidia drivers (which I guess would need to be compiled against your new kernel).

I have a Broadcom bcm43xx wireless card. On first boot nothing was recognized, but after using the system for a few minutes I retried the network scanner and all of the local access points showed up.
I used the wireless connect wizard as I would normally and clicked on "retain for next boot". Happily I downloaded Firefox and a couple of other pets, and was surfing nicely.
I rebooted and nothing came up for wireless nor can I connect again. Any idea what's going on here? Why did connection work once but not again?
The available b43 and b43legacy modules don't seem to work for my card and the bcm43xx module it isn't available in the list of modules to load.
The wlan0 interface shows up but I can't get connected again.
B.
