SFS-Load is great, now longer really need a pupsavefile.

Playdayz, here are some of my requests, all them would take very little space.

1) More modern looking mini-icons

2) ScOttman's Default-Programs-Chooser

3)I know the games don't take up that much space, but I do not find them to be "Fun", as the menu suggests.

4) Since dillo is the default browser and it doesn't use flashplayer, why not remove flashplayer to shave off a couple of megs?

5) Bookmarks for dillo, especially to the murga-linux forum.

Believe that the forum is semi-functional again. Thanks JohnMurga.

Playdayz,

Roxterm

Much needed addition to Puppy Linux standard programs.
Thanks for adding this to Lucid Puppy!

Works great.
Tweak-able to the extreme!!

Frisbee users:

I have been using Frisbee for about 6 months on Puppeee linux (almost daily use on different networks while traveling) and have noticed that performance degrades after time. In fact, after 3 months it refuses to connect. Found several ways (try and error) to make it connect again, but it may be a problem within puppeee.

If some of you see this behaviour in 526 then is lies with Frisbee. Currently I am not sure.

Cosmetics:

A more distinct wallpaper would be nice, but especially the default icon set used is a bit toy-ish. Maybe the whole forum is used to it (so I may be the only one that sees a problem here) but at every install the first thing I do (even before Xorg video settings) is choose another set, or download one. I support the move to a cleaner desktop. Puppy linux has become a stable product, a quality product, and I think it's appearance should reflect that.

Other suggestion:

- Puppy should (out of the box) be set up to have 2 save files. One for system files (installs etc..) and one for personal files (mnt/home). Then an upgrade would never be a real problem. Just copy your personal data save file. I have seen in a thread you can do this at the moment but generally you only become aware that this is usefull once it is too late. Please default this mode, or question it during first install.

- Many posts are about screen blank. Why not switch screen blank off per default.

- Update the browser selection at installation to the latest browsers.

Thanks,

Volhout

pemasu, Question: you recommend acpi and acpitool. Have you used particular binaries? Is anything else necessary than just including them in the iso? Thanks.
