flysnclient works or stays off when selected through a reboot.

pppoe attempted install since heard was problematic. I do not use it but did get working once in another pup. I cannot confirm it does not work as may have incorrect settings if someone wants to confirm.

................TIMED OUT
/usr/sbin/pppoe-start: line 193: 17709 Terminated $CONNECT "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1

Thank you of the reports. I noticed that gparted is old. Dpup uses static gparted so it would need compiling it against static libs. Well...I did it for spup. I could do it again for dpup. I have those needed libs still available. But not now...

Since I left office applications out, I gave possibility to install what you need and use. I tested the Libre Office 3.4.1 sfs from the Polarpup first page link. It worked. I dont know if the fix I made is needed in dpup but it does not harm.

Iguleder has installed goffice and abiword from the squeeze repo. They need some dependencies also, but they work. Iguleder tested and posted that he couldnt find problems with squeeze repo appications.
I can post those needed dependencies if somebody wants them. You can find helpful remarks from /root/.packages/DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS file. There is clear notes what dependencies you need for abiword, goffice and gnumeric. Iguleder has done splendid job when he created his specs file. It is so clear.

But I will use anyway Libre Office. Soon they should post the next version if it is not already announced. I havent checked.

That is great movie. I dont know how many times I have seen it during the years but I still like it. It came again in Finnish TV this summer. That movie has place in my heart.

I still like JWM but Enlightenment is a nice change-of-pace.There is a bit of a learning curve though.
Guess I'll do a quick frugal install...... :lol:

Oh boy this is GREAT! Lovely theme, very fast screen re-draws. Last re-boot wireless config was lost. Broadcom wireless card not auto detected. Had to load module. Will try another re-boot.
Why no xcompmgr? Added it for lovely drop shadow effects.

Already requests. I just wanted to know if this is useful. There is possibility that dpup will be improved with wishes from users....
Dave S. It is great to get this kind feedback what works. In the future, I dont have this much time to play and test with dpup.

My vacation stops tonight. Back to the work and less time with Puppy.

Dave S. You could try how well Frisbee works. I really dont know much how well SNS and Frisbee co-operate in dpup. Not much experience. For me Frisbee has worked fine. There is now 2 dhcpcd included as I explained in Iguleders thread when I posted laptop-tools-all. And dpup had wpa_supplicant with all its own scripts. I really dont know yet what interferes with what.

I need more feedback.

The problem is that the required module, broadcom picma wireless, does not load during boot. I load it manually via the network wizard and save, but it is not persistent. Had this problem in 4.3, but forget the fix now, it was so long ago.....

installed puppizard-007, puppizard_e17, puppizard_scripts pets. then choose from the list to download and install libreoffice 3.4.1linux_x86 rpm from stable release. 146M!

Dave S. It can be the problem of my separate z...sfs which has those needed modules and firmwares. Some drivers work better when the kernel modules and firmwares are inside the main sfs.
I suspected that there might come problems with separate kernel module sfs, but that separation also speeds things and you dont load to the ram all modules and it saves ram also.

So....maybe you will need build with kernel modules and firmwares inside the main sfs.
