Anyone who wants to play with these new pups, you are welcome!

Want to be a translator? We have a Russian "langpack" created by rodin.s, but want more. I think that there might be de and fr langpacks on the way, but of course we need more.
Read my blog posts to find out what has been going on in this department -- MoManager, a brand new one-stop-shop for creating a langpack PET.

Note, the desktop 'install' icon has a choice to install SFS files, and I have added 'poedit' -- if you install this, MoManager will recognise it and optionally use it -- in case you don't want to use Geany text editor to edit po translation files.

Any feedback welcome in this Forum thread...

Upgrade from 5.2.2 to 5.2.2.7

All has gone well... Everything appears to be working as before.
Now to see what the upgrade improved for gold prospecting season approaching fast (mostly what I use Racy for)?

Gathering existing Spanish translations. I'll add new and revised ones as well.

By the way, has Wary MoManager too?

Actually used the installer to do a frugal install on this old P3 test box. No problems so far.Looking good.

5.2.2.7

eth0 fine... Still... No Wireless Hookup.

rt2800 is said to be there and in fact Barry's Simple Netwoork Setup says wlan0 is an active interface but for some reason it never activates my linksys stick (blue light doen NOT come on, on the stick) nor will it allow me to configure wlan0.

Installed Frisbee... it does NOT recognize wlan0 as even being there to configure so, I get nowhere with Frisbee!

pemasu tried helping with this same problem in another thread with previous 5.2.2 but I ended up nowhere there, even with his help.

To me... it appears rt2800 configuration is NOT getting to my linksys stick!

Ran 'wicd Network Manager' in a distro called 'Porteus' , linksys stick blue light comes on at bootup, it tells me to configure SID and Password and bingo... on internet with wireless... so, it isn't my system causing the problem.

For referance: This same problem (No Wireless) persists in ALL other newer Puppy versions and I test a lot of them.

I upgraded from Racy 5.2.2 without problems. I have also upgraded Seamonkey to 2.8 beta 3 .
