wait,

he said he would be back on it when he finished the job he was on now.

impatience causes bad outcomes!

warning: i'm after a barebones version of 4.3.2 v4 when he has time, for my PuppyRunt to live on top of, so I do have a vested interest.

I'll wait......I'm already using this as my primary system anyway. Understandably, real life has to come first.

Instead of sitting and waiting anxiously, I would advise to use Puppy 4ever or Fluppy... both of them seem quite promising!

Received the following message during shutdown and then system hangs:
modprobe: Fatal: /sys is not mounted
modprobe: Fatal: /sys is not mounted
modprobe: Fatal: /sys is not mounted
System Halted

This failure in shutdown is probably responsible for only generic icons showing on the desktop.
2nd question... is there an advantage of have a swap disk for a frugal install? If yes, what would the appropriate size?

I am a newbie. Would appreciate some guidance.

Another question:
When booted from Live CD, 4.3.2 shows on the screen each step of the process on the screen.
However when booting from frugal install, I get a blank screen for about one minute before the screen with the cursor followed by the desktop.
Can some tell me why?

Well, I've been using 4.3.2 as the main OS for many months, but it looks like it really is going to be a dead end. Seems like all it needs (and promised) was bug fixed stable main line Puppy.

Just what I and a lot of others really wanted. If we could just get a final word on this, yes it will be completed, or no it won't, we could continue to wait, or stop counting on it and move on and install another hoped for stable long term supported version that works with reasonably new and old hardware alike.

It's okay to give up on something, but it would just help to know that v3 is the end.

I have been using it as my main OS too. Very happy with it. No new porblems have been found.

hmmm I haven't had much free time lately, mostly the weekends and I try spending it with my family, but I did already say I'll try to work on the olpc puppy this weekend, and If I have time I'll try to do a final of this release.

I didn't mean that it was hoped for by the weekend or even in a month, of course, but just to know if it was over at this initial version.

My main issue is Gtkam crashing when trying to save a photo.

It works for viewing the contents on the camera, but as soon as you select one to save and hit File -- Save Photos -- Selected, it crashes.

Running it from terminal just returns "Segmentation Fault"

I reported this earlier. I think there is more detail there.

Please take your time Ttuxxx, we'd rather have you happy with life and a robust and clean final Official 4.3.2 than one "tomorrow" At this point another few weeks, or more, isn't a big deal. Just knowing you are "on it" is fine.

[James C]

I agree, no big rush.

Still using as my main system every day, pretty darn solid.

I don't use it but I think xvesa is not working on 432 v3.Some earlier posts about it too.
