Nice to know that it is still on your agenda but take your time. Family is much more important! I have reverted to V3 form other puplets because it just works? Very Happy

No news? Was the project abandoned?

I'm still running this as my primary system on my main Linux box.Other than the Xvesa problem,which I don't use anyway, haven't really had any difficulties.Been working fine for me......full install. Smile

Good to hear. Just in time for my LiveCD of my A Powerful Puppy (APP or appup) puplet.

Ok well its the weekend and like I promised, I'll give it another shot Smile

Well I booted 4.3.2 and found Seamonkey extremely slow, So where should I go from here? I updated seamonkey to Wary's latest version and had to update jpg and sqlite and still found it slow, then I downloaded the latest from mozilla and found that to be really slow. So I'm a crossroads, I guess its either all or nothing, I'll start all over, meaning I'll download woof and build it. So I hope I have a few willing testers Smile

, This might be a very large update.

I've been running 4.3.2 as the primary os on my main Linux box for months now and SeaMonkey has been working great. It has auto-updated to 2.0.8 and I'm running the latest flash and sure doesn't seem slow here on my full install.Works so well I haven't bothered installing Firefox like I usually do. Smile

I'll test the new version either way but my full install now is working fine,posting from it now. Smile

Already got an empty partition on the old test box................... Laughing

add me to the list please

As far as i'm concerned, for a dialup user the 4.3.x series has been the best since the 2.14 series. We have quite a few up my way that can't afford even satellite after the install sub. and a 56K dialup plan at $AUS90.00 a year is still good value.

As far as adding things; I'd like to see a dynamically changed menu system where you could "drag and drop" and create submenu's on the fly, such as we all expect to be able to do in our browser bookmarks today. You did ask! Cool

good to see you back

ps ttuuxxxx, could you document in steps how your doing it and publish it, maybe on the wiki, i'd really like to learn "properly", especially the "pitfalls" and how to avoid/fix/get around them. I seem to be getting lost trying to work it through with what's there now.

the first release will take around another 3-5hrs if all goes well, I'm downloading all the packages, around 300+ then I have to build it which takes an hours or so.
I'll start with the basic woof and go from there.
