Hey jim3630, That is very low memory usage either way, don't you think?
playdayz you think?
I'm happy and both versions seems equally fast bouncing around the net
with app execution.

rc2++ recognizes all of my memory but honestly can't tell you when I noticed using the extra memory
or even use of the swap. I don't crunch numbers, do code breaking or play high graphics games on puppy.

3headed have used alot trying tell the difference between pemasu's kennel, slacko, and other
also rans.

3headed seems just as fast but has a quirk, seems to me a quirk could be something I'm not doing right,
of requiring to minimize a window before can raise another window that is already opened but minimized.

Does not poweroff computer or reboot.

If you make a save file to flash drive. no problems.

This only happens if you use save option save to sdb1 (the flash drive)

I don't know whether this will solve the problem but served to fix a bug in the text:

Nice....

First load (puppy pfix=ram)

Resolution = 1440x900 'Without Any Hassle 'This Time' on my PIII with SiS graphic card running Intel. Looks like you got it right mic!

Further testing to come but all appears A-OK so far!

Tasmod. That is Ziggy user interface. Been around quite awhile now. Probably one year. I have used it in many builds also as chosen user interface. Quite nice in fact.

Hmm, anyone else having the same issue I'm having.

To click on a desktop icon, it has to be dead centre to activate, slightly off and it's ignored.

EDIT:

Well now that's odd. I was just about to report that right click on the icon also didn't work, it just brought up main menu.
To be sure, I did a quick reboot to 528 and checked right click on icon, yes worked.
Rebooted Slacko and problems gone. Anywhere in icon 'rectangle' works, so does right click menu for the icon.
Most odd.

playdayz you think?
yeah jim3630, I bet that the 47MB and 57MB are the lowest of any of the other top ten linux distros.

Line 571 in Shutdownconfig also has that error.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

I'm having the same shutdown problem with a full HD installation as I had with a frugal installation with a 4fs save file. Selecting "Shutdown>Power-off computer" performs a reboot. Otherwise, the full HD installation works great.

Applying fix at bigpup's suggested link above did not solve the problem.

I've been testing RC2 on the Pentium D machine, both with existing saves and from a fresh pfix=ram session. Unfortunately wireless internet performance with the Netgear WN111v2 is still very poor. The last few builds have, at least, recognised the dongle straight away and IIRC it retains the settings across boot.

Since that machine's only connection to the internet is via wireless, the mediocre speeds I'm getting make internet useage quite impractical for anything other than basic surfing and IRC. It's a shame really, as Slacko does seem to be a very good version for offline use, but at present it's looking like I will be sticking with Lupu 528 for day-to-day Puppy use on that machine.

I'll continue testing but I can't think of anything else to try, I've used Network Wizard, Frisbee and the other wireless utility in the menu but there isn't any difference in performance.
