Warning Actung Attention
As we all know Puppy is fast.
In this case some of us are using it even before Barry has uploaded
Now that is FAST
Officially released and announced by Barry here

I would like to pretend I used a time machine - traveled
to the future and downloaded it.
. . . in fact Coolpup told me about it
and I thought I would share Smile

Many apologies for the confusion Embarassed

For now you can read the release notes:
These are from the Puppy 4.3 Beta 1 release notes

Hey, I'm still uploading it! Surprised

I uploaded the 2.6.29.6 build earlier, the 2.6.25.16 build is still uploading, as are some of the delta files.

Holy cats.....Lobster.. I thought it was ready...lol

@Barry....I'll redo it when you post on your blog.

I wondered why the mirror command completed so fast.

Best,
Eric

Puppy-4.3beta1-k2.6.29.6-v423.iso
Is this OK for a 1999 Compaq Deskpro EN?

I just downloaded this [md5sum verified as OK] and used Burniso2cd to burn it to a blanked CD-RW disk at 4x speed, and it completed in a suspiciously short time.
Can it really complete this quickly? Confused

Haven't yet tried to boot it.

Will do ASAP.

I'm posting from 4.3beta1(ppa.k2.6.29.6. Laughing

) and all is ok... just check your cd sylvander... mount it and if there are 9 files there, (vmlinuz, initrd.gz ...etc, ) and it is 97M it should be fine.

Cheers

Lobster, this thread just confuses the hell out of anyone trying to find what it's about. Confused

Would you at least edit your original post, adding a link to where the new iso can be found?

Made some error at 1st attempt at burning the CD-RW [BoxPup 4.1.3 still on the disk]; thought it was too fast to be true.
All now fixed and working fine.

Now posting from 4.3beta1

I notice during boot it reports itself as Puppy 4.2.3

"able to install further packages from the Ubuntu repositories"
How? Confused

Tried both downloads (both Kernels) from gposils link. Neither would boot, giving 'disk error 80'. Is there another mirror yet?
Reading Barry's blog, this implementation is built from Puppy, not Ubuntu, so CANT use .debs?
For that, we have to wait for Upup.
