***Bugs and quirks***
Installing Pwidgets-2.2.3 or earlier causes a crash and prevents X from starting. Use the latest version of Pwidgets instead: Pwidgets page (works in JWM and IceWM)
Kopete in KDE doesn't load Live Messenger (MSN) plugin. Recommend to install Pidgin SFS here or in Gslapt Package Manager.
Multi-user is experimental, not perfect. Can login as root (default) or as user 'spot'. User profiles in '/home'. Add User, Change Passwd, Autologin tools in System Menu. Some apps prompt to log in as root.
By design, LHP's boot option 'pfix=fsck' may check all found Linux partitions, then the pupsave. (Using 'psubdir=<pupsave dir>' on the kernel line in GRUB will check only that partition, then the pupsave.) This behavior differs from official Puppy, which only checks the host partition and the pupsave.
If KDE 4.3.3's taskbar is set to autohide, it stays hidden. Best to use one of the other settings--always show or windows can cover.
In KDE the remote desktop client and desktop sharing have not been tested. They did not work in prior releases.
ATI Catalyst 9.9 works fine but Catalyst 9.3 is broken--hard freeze upon launching any openGL/3D apps, including catalyst control center, so it is not included in Mariner SFS although there is a pet available here.
