KDPUP = KDE 3.5.10 + dpup 484 beta 4
Oh, I'm sure this isn't the right place, but I wanted to mention:
That computer has a Nvidia Gforce 7800 GT video card and Puppy hates it! I used a very complicated and high-tech work around:
I run xorgwizard, set it for the right monitor, then test it, then select "Tweak" then hit Esc like 8 times, toggling back and forth.
For whatever reason this changes it from the originally selected driver that Puppy likes to use (this is ALL versions of Puppy) and seems to switch it do a generic driver (or something).
Then it works prefectly, I set up the save file and I never have to do that again.
I'm sure someone knows the deal with that video driver and a more scientific way to go about changing it, but I don't know if any other way would be quite as fun.

New attempt to install (ext2 only). "KDE Session manager" seems to contain lies only, changes are not obeyed to and I could not reboot, only "leave session" ending in command screen.
Note: the other time the download was, if I well remember, "484 bêta 3" but this new one reads "bêta 4".
2 attempts bêta 4 failed, formatting down 2nd time now.
Note 2: I am trying to achieve double (triple) boot on master HD, sda1=swap, sda2=lupu501, sda3=484 .... 1st attempt as "full" and "update grub", 2nd attempt as "frugal" .... resulting both negative.

Kde session manager indeed only has "End current session", it's already mentioned in this thread and there's solution to put shutdown dialog if you don't want to go to command line.
This iso is kdpup 484 beta 4 which is based on dpup 484 beta 4 and it's name hasn't been changed, maybe you tried dpup and not kdpup that was beta 3?
I don't really understand your install problems seems it works for others...

Code: Select all
wmpoweroff
I would like to test this pupplet (seems good )...
But I also have a few -semi-estupid- questions about it:
1- The .pet packages works?? And the .deb ones???
2- It is better a EXT 2 or 3 (or 4) partition??
3- How much puppy-functionality have??
(By the way, Im running Win XP, LuPu501 and Ubuntu 10 on a Intel Core2 duo 1.8 Ghz with 512 Mb RAM and 1 Gb of SWAP).
In the meanwhile, Im gonna download and try it on a USB .
From Argentina, Thanks.

OK people you asked for it!
See first post for lite iso download, it's 220 MB, I even removed firefox to make it lighter but I know it's not problem for you to download and install your browser of choice!
Konqueror and dillo are still inside.
