That's all the problems I encountered so far, everything else seems fine that I used to date.

And , now you tell me about salix' making their own PACKAGES.TXT with deps .
Didn't think of salix (and they actually released builds of late-pre-release 13.37 slack) and the other derivatives, so, I just installed slack-current a week prior to its release and built the PACKAGES.TXT with deps, using Stabellini's tool - took my, not to modern, computer some 30 hrs to complete (incidentally, obscurely announced here) - non-cunning feet walks twice the distance, or something like that .

Anyway, had two tries at woofing-up a pre-release-13.37spup, but tripped on the xorg hurdle .

Awaiting your xorg-hacks .

Cheers and ta for the salix tip, will come in handy / MHHP

I have Dropbox running perfectly on Spup. I am using the portable apps version.
There is probably a smaller option available as a .pet somewhere, but what the heck, it works great.

Hopefully it'll work in spup being made for lucid as far as I see.
But for me it masks the underlying problem.

The original stay-connected is here. I'm a little surprised that it has gone from being a quick fix to a standard Puppy wifi repair tool.

Here is my (limited) understanding of the issue. Some wireless routers periodically poll their clients to see if they are still active. Some clients, when idle, won't respond. So the connection is dropped. I don't know if this is a function of the client's wifi adapter driver or WEP/WPA or something else.

As the issue was intermittently (sometimes hours without a problem) I didn't install the stay connected pet yet.
Up to now I had the issue some 10-15 times and in 2 cases even during a download.

I activated stay-connected now and will watch again during a similar period and report back.
