Trialing 4.20
Probably not; just the last with WhoDo as co-ordinator. There is talk of a CE version and from what I understand the 1.xx series is the only one not currently under some form of development. So anything is possible.alex12 wrote:Is this realy the last 4.x release before the Woof based 5.x?
Linux = Learning through doing :shock: :? :D
The learning curve may be steep but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
You just have to pass the occasional oncoming train to get there.

Take a well earned break WhoDo, I'm sure after your hiatus you will be nice and refreshed to coordinate packaging for Woof 5x series.
Cheers.

4.2.1 PDF Printer Installation: Directions Needed
Firstly, thanks to all who contributed to the very nice 4.2.1.
I was always very pleased to find a PDF printer native in earlier distros, e.g. 4.0 and 4.1. So I was disappointed to see that it was not included in 4.2 and 4.2.1. I was somehow able to install a PDF printer in 4.2 by following my intuition but I can't get a working PDF printer in 4.2.1.
Specific directions anyone?

Re: NETGEAR WG311v3 working in Puppy Linux 4.2.1
I had that problem with my Cisco Linksys USB Wifi too. Unfortunately the Puppy I was using couldn't even 'see' the circuit board mounted ethernet port either. I just couldn't access the internet at all with Puppy.Dingo wrote:An interesting note

I'm not knocking it since it obviously works for the majority. Though it is disapointing when things don't work.
Re: 4.2.1 PDF Printer Installation: Directions Needed
Windows refugees are used to the idea of creating a PDF document through a virtual printer. But most Puppy applications have the option of printing to a file - either Postscript or PDF. If the resulting file is in Postscript format, it can be converted to a PDF withjackieflorida wrote:I was always very pleased to find a PDF printer native in earlier distros, e.g. 4.0 and 4.1.

Thanks WhoDo and all the other volunteers who support Puppy Linux.
I've downloaded both the standard and retro versions and will test computers in the office by Monday.
IMHO, every Puppy Linux release is a labor of love.
In my eeePC 701, 4.2.x has been looking crisp and responding quickly (with the added extras by tempestuous), so nothing to complain, really.
But just in case, remember folks, NO WARRANTY - use at your own risk.

Make sure you reveal the exact version of Puppy you are running, and the exact model of Linksys USB device.

Upgrade Question.
I just downloaded 4.2.1 and put it on my uncle's old computer. It truly is a beautiful piece of work! Thank you to all that have worked so hard to achieve such a great distro.
I am still running 4.1.2 on my own computer. Is anyone aware of any problems that I might encounter upgrading to 4.2.1 and using my existing pupsave file? Presently I just run Puppy from CD and have the pupsave on my hard drive.
Thanks again for the hard work!

Re: Upgrade Question.
well be on the safe side, right click on your pupsave and copy it, rename it anything like safekeeping.sss then it won't load on bootup, then all you do is rename it back to what it was before if you need it.mattst8ler wrote:I just downloaded 4.2.1 and put it on my uncle's old computer.
