Hi 01micko

Thought you might be interested in my report of a successful lupu515/spup052 hybrid described here:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=479370#479370

works great on my Thinkpad 600E with just 196MB ram.

The reason why: spup052 does not work with the Thinkpad video xorg driver, lupu515 does not work with the Netgear pcmcia wifi, but the hybrid system supports both.

Cheers
Peter

G'day 01micko,

Ummm...thanks for the delta - I'd better try it after all the fuss it's said to have caused.

It's a pretty big delta too as these things go.

I tried to install audacity. Got these unresolved dependencies:

libFLAC++.so6
sdl

Where can I get these packages from?
My current repos:

puppy-quirky-official,puppy-spup-unofficial,puppy-woof-official,slackware-13.1-official,
slackware-13.1-slacky.

Flac is located at http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-13.0/slackware/ap/flac-1.2.1-i486-2.txz
its a txz package and I'm not sure if micko has implemented txz yet

I made a remaster version of the spup 052 with this combination:

Kernel 2.6.32.26 from igul and inpu001
Xorg 1.9.2 from current slackware sources.
jwm2-493 from igul
mesa 7.8 from ppm

For me works great

I had to do it with remaster... because I don have the power and space for the Woof built..

Thank you 01micko for the very nice Puplet. Just started to experiment with 051 and you've brought out 052. 051 worked well with everything I've thrown at it: pets and sfses.

Ran accross you're discussion of sfs_grabber. How does this differ from jrb's sfs_linker which I've been using without a problem?

Those who prefer "realistic" wallpaper, might like this "slacker" pup which can be flinched from:

I'll try out 052 tomorrow.

Hi again all,

Couldn't wait 'till tomorrow. So I unpacked 052 into a directory and reran Grub4Dos Config. Edited Menulist to include pfix=ram for 052 so it wouldn't pick up 051's Save-file. (Will change after creating a Save-file for 052),

The first thing I do is run Internet Wizard: Simple Wizard worked as well as in 051. Next I run Alsa sound wizard. It reported that it couldn't find any sound card. Hardinfo reports I have an Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER Multimedia Audio Controller. However, as soon as I got on the web and ran a Youtube, I had sound. So Alsa Wizard isn't reporting properly.

Preparing to get on the web using Opera-11.00.sfs, I installed sfs_grabber-0.1.pet. It installed, but when right-clicking the SFS did nothing, I tried using it from the Menu. Dragged the sfs to it, and it reported something like "you have to first install puppy." So somethings not working right.

More later.

PS. Other than above, every thing I tried worked. Don't have printer or scanner plugged in so didn't try relevant apps. Noted that Abiword lacks thesaurus. But I usually load SFS of OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

Now to create Save-file, edit menu.lst and reboot..

Hi again:

Rebooted creating 512 meg Save-File. Discovered that Save-File was automatically created in sPup052's folder. (See prior post re unpacking ISO). That's a nice feature. But as I hadn't known it would, I initially booted into sPup051, thinking I'd have to move Save-file from the top of the partition to the sPup052's folder.
While in sPup051 I decided to increase its, sPup051's, Save-file by 256 megs.
When I rebooted into sPup052, boot manager? ran thru its routine to increase sPup052's Save-file from 512 to 756. I'll reboot into sPup051 and see what happens.

Edit: Rebooted into sPup051. Its Save-File was not increased, remaining at 512 megs. I don't know enough about how resizing a Save-file works (perhaps I should mention I use Grub4Dos v.1.6.3 as the boot manager) but it appears that running two versions of sPup causes confusion.
