Rerwin,
Sorry about that, I must have forgotten to update the linux kernel PET package after making changes in it.
There is now an "alpha8", broken into 5 small files which is great for those on dialup who would like to play with this new pup:

This "alpha8" fixes some bugs.
But not rerwin's 3G modem stuff, you still need the PET package he posted earlier in this thread.

The sound problem is fixed. Burniso2cd burned alpha 7 to my multisession DVD+RW. Then I rebooted, saving the settings from alpha 6. Sound works on my computer now. No new problems found - yet. Good job!

Don't know if this is a bug or not, but it was strange.
Going to install alpha 7 on an old P3 733mhz, 256 mb ram machine. Booted the live cd and went to Gparted to partition the hard drive.The main partition went fine but Gparted kept having errors when creating the swap.
No problem, out comes the Gparted cd, partition the drive and then install Puppy.After completing the full installation, I tried Gparted again and it would just continuously run without detecting anything.
Earlier tonight, after adding Pets and Ubuntu packages, Gparted decides to work correctly.
Strange..........

hey guys,
I built with a?-a5 and now a7. The major issue i've had has been the lack of libs post build. this is in every build (slack,deb,etc.) my a5 deb build has been stable enough for regular use.
@barryk- have you thought about keeping ppm just for puppy, and instead having the build specs call out for the appropriate command line pkg manager? i installed dpkg comline, no deps, runs fine. If this was done, then a small script could be designed for each type of build and be fed into the comline to build appropriately for each one, right?
also, anyone building with the scripts, you DO know to just use the package files from previous woof builds right?(most of you do im sure) forget dl time over and over.

Wireless on laptops
I had an older laptop but I upgraded to a Toshiba M305D. Since then, about 6 or 9 months ago maybe a year, I haven't been able to get wireless to work. I tried all the drivers, I had the patience to try but no dice. Finally with this 4.71 release it's working. I rather liked the new wireless start up function better. I'm using WPA protection and it was a breeze.
Correction to Intel536 initialzation script
I discovered a typo in the Intel 536 modem initialization script and have attached a replacement firmware tarball, to go into /lib/modules/all-firmware. The impact of the typo is that an already-selected modem is not respected.

odd, a5 deb build of ntfs3g-fuse was fine, a7 deb build fails? not sure here. I wont get more specific yet. Hey Barry, i haven't seen many posts, so im pretty sure you are getting overwhelmed with input on woof. I know you were choosing to go upup for your own reasons, but at beta1 are you going to try to build each version?
I understand you have bandwidth issues. I have built each very quick(-3 hours), and would be willing to help with the compile time, by building the base iso and devx, then uploading, etc if it would expidite your efforts in any way. This would at least give you a starting environment to work with instead of having to dl and build each. Maybe im crazy?

I downloaded the 5 files and concatenated them.
I stll get locked out of a few computers with a
loading.isolinux drive error 20, ax=4800 , drives EF.
or slight variations - so whats the problem here?.
I really would like to try this new woof pup but wow is it hard going.
Thanks for thinking of us dial up users.

woof build system
i have built (tried to build) a few spups with woof alpha7, i normally do not watch my terminal scroll. but this time i did during createpackages script i noticed these
heres some trminal output showing chroot and uname
ive run the script a few times and made a few tiny isos with no sfs but that was because of mksquashfs4 missing.
heres a few more errors i found during ./2createpackages
about 20 of these tar errors
and a similar number of these type of no dir errors
a few packages were excluded but im assuming this is normal operation
there is a slackware puppy with smp in my near future

Hi
big_bass has made a 4.1.2slaxer_pup 12.2 k2.6.27.7 SMP enabled puppy, it's in derivitives section.
Load Htop and/or pwidgets and it displays multicore readout nicely.
Wow's un-named 4.11 puplet k2.6.28.5 is also SMP enabled, as is aragon's 4.2smp pup k2.6.29.1 and MU's newyear pup.
If memory serves me correctly FatDog is also SMP enabled.
Hope that is useful.
Best regards - Ray
