If that message came up during a full install;
don't worry about it.

That is true, that quote from fox7777 has as a title about during an install. When doing a full install you get that long list of missing dependencies.

Can it be fixed. 01micko, is it possible to hide that message? There has already been numerous questions about it and thats just from people on the forum. People not on the forum are probably confused by that also. I know most of us do frugal installs but outside of here I don't know. It is a confusing message.

@ raviji7: just hit the maximize button in your firefox window. that will fix it.

I realize that not being able to remove programs is more of a feature than a bug, but . . .(' Rolling Eyes

') . . It was noted a page earlier in the discussion that "If you don't like the choice then you remaster Puppy with your preferred choice." It is my understanding that puppy unleashed allowed this, but that it was replaced by Woof. I am a linux newbe and was just getting the hang of Woof - I think(' Embarassed

') Now I read in Barry's Blog that Woof can't be used with this build(' Crying or Very sad

') I don't see anything in 01micko's toolbox that will help someone with my level of experience. Am I misunderstanding, are there any suggestions for where I can get the info I need to jump on the learning curve.

I love this distribution! I have even gotten the one Doze program I need to work on Wine from quickpup. Thanks to all for your hard work.

gortonc: use this, then remaster. that should (actually I don't think I've even done this in lupu yet) remove the programs. if you don't remaster as bigpup points out it will merely hide the programs.

sinc, Thanks! I will give it a try and let you all know how it works.

OK, I lied again, I can't let this one rest.

While I deeply appreciate all the high-powered help on this, I'm very much afraid the problem is simply my unique hardware. Not that there's anything wrong with that but you serious developers can't be expected to take so much time on one wierd configuration.

That being said, I no longer believe I have a router problem. I just did a fresh full install on a new HD and still had problems sharing printers. However it seems that the only thing not working is the automatic finding of network printers. It seems that I can manually navigate to the desktop's built-in CUPS web interface from the netbook and find the printers there, and even print a test page. But if I want to actually print from an application I need to manually install the network printer to the netbook's localhost and make very sure I include the full IP address of the printer including the exact printer name as used by the host computer in the "connection" line. For this system it looks like:
http://192.168.2.3:631/printers/HP_DESKJET_895C
I don't know if it was necessary but I made sure the printer name, description, and location fields matched the desktop's also. More testing is needed, but CUPS did install the printer to the localhost and does not return errors like "remote printer does not exist" anymore. I have a lot of work to do on the installation yet, I just got it going last night, but it looks good so far. Of course while I was installing update 2, update 3 was being uploaded! The pace of development of this Puppy is unreal.

Thanks to all!

That's good news. It sounds like this is some kind of timing issue on your network. The CUPS server is not advertising its printer fast enough for the CUPS client to detect it. But it's odd that it worked with the old CUPS.

In any case, your solution of installing the printer manually may be helpful to other users.

It would interesting to know if the CUPS 1.3.11 in Quirky is better. You could just boot your server machine off the Live CD to test it.

Still having problems with 5.1 dropping internet connection
while online.

Edit;

Switched to Pwireless2 and it seems to be holding up well.

rcrsn51,

Interesting that you should cite network timing as the possible culprit. That is what turned out to be the problem with my system(s) and Quickpet, as far as I know only shared by scsijon. It still amazes me that 01micko found time to make a patch for that after only two known complaints. Anyway I had been blaming the satellite internet provider for that, as scsijon and I are both on satellite, but this would have to be the router as it's an infranet problem. It's an inexpensive unit, not at all designed (or advertised) for commercial or heavy use, but it's been rock-solid for over a year after I fried three other units in two months. OK, I can't blame Cisco Systems for a near-miss lightning strike. But the Belkin has been very reliable.

I'm downloading Quirky1.2 as I type, I'll report back in the next day or so.
