but I noticed that MD5sum is not possible
because gtkhash is not installed.

See that some derivatives are having touchpad issues. Had been using USB mouse on old Cq C550 chassis FULL install. Decided to reconnect touchpad. Initially started working, but after a reboot following day, double(or single) tapping stopped working. Fiddled with settings to no avail. Haven't seen this with Wary before.

Some time ago, I inherited a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 (manufactured in 2000):

Pentium III (coppermine) 700 MHz, 256 MB RAM, Video Driver: Savage, 1024x768 pixels, 12 GB ATA hard drive.

I ran Wary 5.14.1 off the live-CD first to make sure it functioned with this antique. It did, right ought of the box - sound, either net connection, video driver - absolutely superb!

I then wiped the hard disk clean of Windows 98 garbage and reformatted to ext2 with GParted adding a swap partition. Except for the video (glxgears: ca. 150 FPS) the machine is quite fast. SeaMonkey is a bit sluggish - flash video a bit choppy. I will eventually install Opera.

The WLAN connection (RTL 8187 USB) was a bit tricky to set up (but isn't it always?). Eventually, using the Network Wizard, I got it to connect at boot .

Connected to a mini hi-fi system, this is the perfect machine for the guest room.

Curious. The rest of the Puppyworld is going bananas about touchpad issues but four days on and my report above hasn't attracted a nibble...

When I tried pmusic on the recent Wary
I noticed that some icons are missing
(see the picture for example)

I checked the application psnapshot and it worked fine.

It saves the snapshot in a folder named 'Screenshots'
to simplify the saving process.

Skipstone needs libgtkembedmoz.so seamonkey, it should be explained in ppm.

I did a search but could not find any info so pardon me if this has been discussed.

I have a RTL8188/8192 USB wireless.

In Puppy 5.2.5 and 5.2.8, I used the PET (8192cu-k2.6.33.2.pet) made by "tempestuous" (thanks tempestuous) and it works very well.

Recently I had to install Wary Puppy 5.1.4 on one of the older computers and that PET did not work in Wary.

Is there a similar driver for Wary?

TIA.

Don't know if just an issue I'm having or if already a noted issue:

I just installed a fresh frugal of Wary 5.1.4.1 and it worked fine until shutting down. I accepted that it build a pupsave but it just hung there and wouldn't build the save file.

As a workaround I instead used an empty save file built with Wary 500 and that worked fine with Wary 5.1.4.1 thereafter.
