So is there an instant update 004 that could be applied to full install the way described: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=70855&start=97 (bigpup)?

Do I still need to add the libgconf2-4_3.1.6.pet that playdayz talks about here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=70855&start=111

do these "chromium-type" web browsers:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=70855&start=652
work then?

Even with athlon XP (1900+ or 2100+)?

Is the update 4 recommended?

How can I find if I already have some update?
(Installed Lupu 5.2.8 full install about a month ago.)

I can use Chromium on that one. So have them moved to an even later one then? I think 13 was the lastest number on Chromium I tested.

sage: if you live in a third country world and your a part of the urban citizen who's pocket is not enough to fund such experimentation as you are boasting... there is no such thing as e-bay in my hometown, only few has enjoy the limited amount of the promise of the future here and I am one of them. What I mean as out of stock in the market is the only available resource in my place and if go around further, it is not advisable for a low compensator like me. I tried to do some bios upgrade but end up having a dead motherboard and because of a luck of funding I was forced to wait until my cups is full. What I am trying to emphasize on my first letter is only a response from what I have already read from this same site. Even though Puppy is a very versatile OS it still contain some drawbacks compared to Ubuntu, Mint and other Linux variation. I can say is that Puppy is still in its experimental stage in a sense that I can't boast it 100%. Maybe because I only have 191 MB of ram and I have a very old working system. BTW I have make a frugal install to my HDD and my beta testing seems to be improving. If you don't mind can you please help me find a way how can I adjust the amount of swap file that is created when I make a frugal install to my HDD? It only creates a 200 MD .swp file maybe if I could recreate a 500 MB swap I could run faster application to our Puppy.

Thanx and a happy new year to you and to all

Hello Guyz, I want to share another experience here. Its about Smart Boot Manager. I am tired of using Puppy to usb because of slowness so I have decided to install it in my hard disk using frugal mode. I have used the grub4dos package so that I can multi-boot my system. After I have successfully use grub4dos I have problem how to boot it the way I am expecting a multi-boot system would boot... I was unable to multi-boot it. I used PloP Boot Manager but unsuccessful. Now I tried Smart Boot Manager and save the setting then it worked. I can now use Puppy installed in my hard disk. God I'm happy. Cheerz!!!

Bigpup and nooby: I'll check next time I can access that darn machine.

At the moment we have guests staying in the room that the machine is in, and I'll probably have no chance getting my hands on it until next year (2.1.2012) Laughing

Since the guests include two small children, there will probably be someone, whose sleep must not be disturbed, sleeping in the room at pretty much all times. Smile

Make a linux swap partition using gparted in the menu/system
512mb should be OK, larger if your hard drive has enough space
Congrats on getting SBM to work where PLOP didn't

Good luck

Hello,

I use this newest Lupu on an old Intel laptop. If a choose the normal shutdown with power-off, then Gui disappears, the message <Lucid is now shutting down> appears. But following is a login command and the Gui is again on the display. The system is up as if I have initiated no shutdown.

This behavior is not certain. Sometimes the systems shuts down normally.

Regards
Svgt
