Running LIveDVD Wary 5. SM is steady and I'm not getting any issues with anything else thus far....except for 1. PPM.
Seems after installing a couple of packages, I get a PPM Windowbox with message as follows:

In PPM if I search and nothing is found, the cursor is not visible within the PPM window but is visible in the error dialog or outside the PPM window.

Is this known?

I downloaded the small version and installed on my toshiba nb200, frugal install.

Wireless and wired work. Sound through the headphone jack works, but not through the internal speakers. There are no further problem with sound though. I'm very pleased with this as recent puppies (lupu and fluppy) cause media to hang. I think it's the kernel that is the problem with those.

It also detects my netbooks internal 3g card, and loads the cdc_ether module (usb). I don't know anything about using it so if you would like me to test if further just send me some instructions!

I used USB Mouse on Wary5 and it works good. Works in Lupu-518 and Fluppy 010 too.

Hi Barry:

Just a note to thank you for the ongoing effort to support older equipment.
With all the talk about Lucid I missed this one.
To the best of my knowledge no one else comes close to building a system that works so well on old computers and makes dial-up as least painful as possible. For those who need such a system it is a true gift.
As soon as I get a chance I will try out Wary , I have no problems with 431 but I am looking forward to your improvements.
Sent a few dollars through PayPal , hope everyone who uses the software does, you deserve it .

I installed RC (small) on my eight-year-old, lovingly-assembled from parts computer:

AMD Athlon 2 G Hz, 2 GB RAM, nvidia GForce FX 5200 , ESS 1969 Solo-1.

I did not try booting from a CD, but just copied the necessary ISO files to a directory and did a frugal install.

Everything worked right out of the box. With the nv driver I got a respectable 320 fps from glxgears. I used the video upgrade wizard to install the nvidia-71.86.14-k2.6.31.14-w5.pet. Imagine my surprise when glxgears showed an increase to 7500 fps!

Installing my network printer, I found two entries that seemed to amount to the same thing:

Thanks rcrsn51 and Shinobar!

I added noserverino, eh, voilà. It took me some tinkering to figure out just where to add it, so I am posting the altered code of the line:

Just upgraded Wary 104 to 500. EDIT: Booted using Wary-500 cd, pressed "Enter" whenever prompted.

Somewhere in the process, I got a screen that said (more or less):

Either uninstall Puppy2 files, or install the following deps: Click "Install" icon when after Puppy is running and has internet access.

{long list}

Well I copied the list onto a piece of paper as instructed, and after reboot clicked on install, and started the package manager, but so far as I can see, it knows nothing about all these dependencies.

Questions:

What Puppy2 files? How would I delete them? Would I miss them if I did?

If I do need these deps, how do I find them?

Could it be the pets that I have installed? The "Check dependencies of installed packages" shows nothing missing.
