Did a manual frugal install.... to an ext4 partition. Should have known better.
Tried again on a newly formatted small ext2 partition and all is well.

Rebooted with no savefile.
Pwireless still does not connect - I always thought it could not handle WPA/WPA2?

The new pns_tool pet works correctly.

I downloaded the latest JWM (from GiHub), just to see what happened. Found out you need to run

I have always generally liked JWM, particularly because of the low resources used for so much power. However, if an app such as Firefox is minimised in Openbox I like that you can drag and drop an html file from Filemanager onto the taskbar minimised Firefox icon and Firefox then pops up displaying that file.

I don't think JWM can do that, hence I tend to prefer Openbox. Or is there a newer JWM that can do that or a JWM configuration that results in that additional functionality?

Yes, I hate when a new desktop appears when moving over to screen edge, but I don't mind vanishing taskbar as long as that capability is configurable.

What I particularly like about JWM, however, is that it comes with taskbar and panels code built-in.

What I particularly like about JWM, however, is that it comes with taskbar and panels code built-in. Main thing I don't think it has (!) is easy ability to generate menus via xdg?? Seems to be a lot of scripted or manual configuartion required though I don't know much about how dynamically generated menus work, so I may well be completely wrong about JWM capabilities in that direction.

Good to hear it continues to be used and developed though.

With regards to numlock on my T42 there is still a problem I have disabled numlock in my bios. No other pup does this.

" Couldn't get wifi to work straight off (WPA2 problems), but installed pns_tools (the CLI network tool that 01Micko adapted from Porteus)
and that worked.

Downloaded the devx pet and converted it to an SFS. Loaded and
working after a reboot. "

Pity someone could not make Pet out of this and maybe see if restarting
the desktop would enable it.

ttuuxxx...good to see you back.

I gave Slackoff a whirl last week...still a goodie.

I had to take quite a few pcs to the recyclers weeks ago
as I couldn't give them away....Shame ..shame moment.

It would be good to see if you do a hook up with John Biles
to produce a Super Puppy Legacy.
