Puppeee 4.3X
Hi Jemimah, I downloaded the Atom version of Puppeee1.0 and did a frugal install on my Acer D250
I tested the Omellette thing and although it almost made it within 5 seconds maybe 6 it has a kind of jerking delay noticeable.
If one have noticed then one find it annoying while somebody not knowing may ignore it until they suddenly get aware of it.
It is not noticeable on small short files on BBC but on streaming video on my local svtplay.se which have copyrighted tv programs so not sure if others can see them.
Radio works good.
Gxine fail to play those mp4 files me have taken from youtube.
I've not tested much else lack imagination on what to test.
Distro look nice.

I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Noob is totally okay with me
Re the jerkiness. I t is barely noticeable. The D250 have only 1GB RAM so that could maybe be one reason???
A lot of Puppy users talk about glxgears and it would be cool to test different versions to see how they come out on glxgears.
I am a lazy person, sure I did a search one day but have not managed to get how one activate it.
Is it in the PPM and one have to install it? Could someone tell if it could give a good picture on what is going on for us who have noticed this jerkiness?
I guess my machine have Intel Graphic chip 945 something. How do I know if I use the right driver?

Puppeee 1.0
1. md5sums checked out OK for all 5 filesjemimah wrote:Before I make the release announcement, can some people test out my isos, md5sums, and zip packages to make sure I didn't screw up anything major.

2. For 1000H the atom iso booted and successfully did a version upgrade from 502 to 504, saved OK. Did a fresh frugal install on sd card using atom zip file and bootinst.bat, saves and reboots work.
3. For 701SD celeron iso booted and saved OK on reboot to sd card. Did a fresh install on reformatted sd card with bootinst.bat and celeron zip, saves and reboots worked fine.
Hi
Just got P1.0 and testing on 2 701SD's.
One has XP and the other Xandros installed.
Am booting from SD cards on both units (all seems well)
and have done a manual frugal to the SSD on the linux unit.
All the basics seem ok.
Jemimah - this is outstanding - Puppeee1.0 combined with
your excellent and well thought out choice of sfs packages, transform the EeePc range capabilities, from fairly basic to,
do virtually anything.
Thank you so much for everything you do.
Very best regards - Ray

Jemimah, the old bootinstall.bat is there again
Talking about the bootinstall/syslinux...
I have my syslinux.cfg edited to point to a subfolder this way:
I think that is a good idea because the .zip installer is intended to be used in a removable media, and this media can be shared with other distros (all them using the same syslinux)... i.e. puppeee arcade
*Aditional .sfs files (i.e. firefox.sfs) must be added to the root of the device... and "activated" in the bootmanager of each distro
Are not loaded by default, but all them are availables for all the distros

Code: Select all

Is normal that bootinst.bat creates a file in the root of the device with the name: ldlinux.sys ?
This happened in RC8 (where was included the old bootinst.bat)
But this one http://puppeee.com/files/misc/bootinst.bat dont creates this file
Inside bootinstall.bat there is a line with the word Fluppy

I haven't been able to make a bootable usb-flash with Bootflash in
the latest Lupu versions; but Bootflash in my Fluppy install (contains
the ldlinux file) works great.
Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.
Eeepc 8g 701, 900Mhz, 1Gb ram.
Full installs
Few pages before in this thread, somebody commented about a problem with bootinstall.bat in RC8
Jemimah answered that the solution was to replace this bootinstall.bat by the one in the link i posted
When i did this... an executed it... i realized that this ldlinux.sys file was not created (well... probably it was created, but outside of the filesystem as a "hidden boot block"... or this is what i thought in this moment)
Im not sure about how many versions of this bootinst.bat there are but all of them worked for me in windows xp

It was this message

You want the ldlinux.sys file. The buggy script is the one that does not create it. Note that this file is hidden by default in windows so you might not see it.sandungas wrote:Is normal that bootinst.bat creates a file in the root of the device with the name: ldlinux.sys ?
