Playdayz,
I had downloaded lucid puppy 501, ran a md5sum check on it and created a frugal install.
I booted with pfix=ram and set up networking.
When I selected the nvidia driver from QuickPet, the download failed twice almost like that file had been removed.
I then tried the Nvidia pet I had previously that WORKED with puppy 500 and it failed as well s getting a poor english as to an error statement that some file was in the wrong place that had nothing to do with the files in the nvidia pet.
Needless to say, I was disappointed.
I then tried the 203 version I had downloaded as I did not know of a 204 version.
First, I really liked the popup of simple network wizard for network connection.
Second, I would like to see an option in QuickPet to be able to have the option to save the dowwnloaded pet files that are to be installed rather than the automatic deletion of the downloaded pet after the install.

Hi playdayz,

I did not try the native PDF printer until after installing Foxit via Quickpet. From other posts about the problem I gather that it exists with or without Foxit.

I first noticed the problem when I tried to print a PDF copy of an online receipt from a web page in the Seamonkey browser. I have not tried to print from Foxit or Abiword. As mentioned previously, I have already deleted the non-working native PDF printer so I can't test it on other apps.

The www.box.net online file storage/sharing is free for a gigabyte or so and filesize somewhat restricted to maybe 100mb, as I can recall from memory. So for smaller files it is a very easy site to use.

Regarding Quickpet: I have not yet found a way to remove an app after installing it with Quickpet. I would presume that there is a command line that would do this.

You should be able to remove the application in Puppy Package Manager.

Thanks smokey01.
I had actually looked there a few days ago and for some reason did not see the Quickpet apps among the Pet apps, but since reading your post I went back, took another look, and found them.

Happy to report that desktop drive icons show 0GB space is solved. Thank you playdayz to have incorporated the fix.

Is any progress being made on the Screen refresh/bowser scrolling problem? I have been playing with Lucid 5.0.1 on a Panasonic CF-28 which runs all the other puppy versions I have tired just fine. Unfortunately when using Firefox with 5.0.1 the blurred line problem occurs. I have tried searching all the back messages but can't see anywhere that this problem has been resolved.

cheers, Paul

This is only my wild guess.

On my gear it seems related to if one have the correct driver or not.

It cleared up when I managed to get NVidia driver going. But it was not easy and I ahve no way of retelling how one does it.

I failed several times after the single success so hope others also give their suggestions.

Will we be seeing Opera 10.60 through QuickPet or should I start figuring out how to install Opera by "normal" means?
