playdayz:
THANK your sir:

A good man you are!

Congratulation on this version, it represents a LOT of work and effort. I especially thank all who helped and are helping in the clean up of menu's and all to make the this version easier and easier to use for novices. Please keep up the good work. It is the weekend....so how about taking a break and enjoy yourself..... can' send a brew, but have one for me!

GOOD JOB TO ALL.



EDIT:

Finally found the fix.. is there a way to have some sort of update button? on the desktop or as part of quickpet...or.. have I missed this???

Anyway... applied fix 002....solved Email download... THANK YOU again... it works... very slick. Plan is to use this more and more.... HAPPY PUPPY HERE .

Yes, as part of Quickpet.



OPINION:
That should be on the desktop... kind of hidden tab.. now I know where to look. Also add the link to all the browsers if possible in the bookmarks

OK, this is brilliant. Been using it full time since RC2 with zero problems except Full Screen in Firefox (F11) which borked my profile, actually in JWM this time! After using full screen mode, returning to normal left me with no window frame. I never could get it back, so had to re-create .mozilla. Might have been caused by the Chromifox theme, or maybe CompactMenu, dont know, but I will be damn glad when Linux gets the new FF4 interface
I installed the Fontwizard from iguleder, but modified the script a little to give 'hintslight' instead of 'hintfull' as IMHO that works best on LCD screens like mine. I get slight colour fringes to letters here and there but in general, font rendering is the best I get in anything other than Gnome.
For some strange reason, printing is the best from any Puppy so far....odd.
The update via Quickpet was flawless. Cool.....
The video performance is great even without Xorg-high (intel)

This is a really fine release... Thanks guys.....

Agree with DAVES, printing is the best so far AND Wifi is very reliable as well -- and it remembers settings from boot to boot.

Hmmm, same as Beem, but now worse.

Started yesterday after upgrade.

I run Firefox, first click showed server error for any webpage, then connected on second click.

Finally, it suddenly shutdown my router connection!

Today on starting Firefox again, it did same. Disconnected router from DSL.

Just now same again, run up Firefox and accessed forum plus ebay and boom, DSL disconnected again.

I have to reboot the router and run the Internet Wizard each time to get network up.

I also noticed that compared to normal the DHCP connect is much much longer, it nearly times out.

I'll monitor it and maybe start a fresh frugal and pupsave.

Testing 5.1 for first time. Edit. Forgot to tell everybody "Thanks for a very good job. Looks cool and as far as I get it does work very good apart from what I write below.

A kind of bug or user failure maybe.

I fail to make it remember me a Swede. You know crazy chars like åäö and such.

I have to give it setxkbmap se each time me start up.

In menu.lst I told it to pkeys=se and thought that would do it.

It does say that it does load the se table but still when testing in console it shows [ instead of å or whatever it is supposed to on a US keyboard.

Yes I know one can do a special set up but I have already done the High pet to give it the best Intel driver so I don't want to do all that again.

So either it is me taking things in wrong order or it fail to make use of the pkeys=se

I looked in /lib/ and the se.gz is there.

What is best way to get Swedish keyboard?

I go to bed now so hope to find some suggestion within 20 hours or so
