Xvesa configuration was broken from the start of 4.3.2 development and continues to be broken.

Lack of Xvesa support is a deal-breaker for many users.

Xvesa will be the first thing fixed in the next release.

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? :D

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

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

Already got an empty partition on the old test box................... :lol:

Thanks Thom :)
also what would people like to see in the next 4 series, there have been a lot of new scripts/app since 4 series. I'll let the community decide.

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! 8)

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.

Well,let me think.......I have over 20 Puppy installs on this old test box, with 8 or 10 different kernels between the different Pup's.My first choice would probably be to stay with the 2.6.30.5 kernel.......it seems to be a good balance between newer and older hardware.

2.14x has the 2.6.18 kernel while Lucid and the new Dpup have 2.6.33.2 (and maybe newer) so that might be a good middle ground.

Or you could just use your best judgment and surprise everyone..... :lol:

kernal versions

#378 Post by scsijon »

frankly I don't care :P ......

as long as: :lol:

Priority 1:- all dialup modems (inc winmodems),

Priority 2:- sat via ethernet,

Priority 3:- and wireless 3g modems

can equally work. :wink: A 4.31 at least I would think.

smp would be nice to make use of those extra "bits" but is it necessary for a beta test version?

:D

Hi ttuuxxx

Is it possible to make the kernel fit the software? giving people a choice of what kernel is best for their hardware, I think at the moment there is at least 16 official kernel pets (in woof) that I have found. couldnt we treat them as addons, similar to what barry did with wary? then have the same basic operating system that would work for almost everybody no matter what hardware they were using? (instead of the traditional way of building the software around the kernel and limiting peoples choices)

Just an idea (no idea how to make it work)

Another thought;

If you have the time and inclination you may also consider asking Zigbert to "do you a DuDE" and make it your primary desktop.

Having just had an intro to it, it walks all over standard JWM, VERY professional.
