I will test the CPUTemp in FD too. I installed it in FD latest?
and it works says my CPU temp is 51 Celsius and that my
CPU freq is 1.666MHz Fan is running so that is cool.
Thanks rcrsn51 much appreciated

What I lack in FD is a tray icon that tells that the firewall is set up the way that one are used to on Lupu

Ah so typical of me. I usually fail when there is such Control Centers.
I get totally confused when there is many possible things to click on

Thanks!

I love fatdog64, but I could not find a way to display how much disk space I have left in my drives except to open a terminal and type the df command.

In regular puppy, pmount shows me that.

Thanks for such a great distro.

My favourite feature is the ability to boot the iso directly from grub.

title fatdog64
kernel /memdisk iso
initrd /Fatdog64-600-firefox.iso

try typing partview from a terminal window.

/usr/sbin/partview

Thanks, partview also works. But it still requires a console command, It runs slower and requires more keystrokes than df.

It would be nice to have the unused space shown by just hovering the cursor over the drive icon without the need to click anything or execute a command.

Currently, alt-text shows the drive size and format (e.g. 115GB ntfs) when you hover the cursor over the drive icon. I wonder how much more difficult it is to show unused space as well.

@timothyli: Here is something to try. It's more informative than partview, but it still may not be as convenient as you would like.

It only shows mounted partitions. The installer puts a menu entry in Utility.

[Edit] Here is a version that runs out of the tray.

[Edit-Edit] Version 1.2 also lists the savefile.

The following is not a criticism only me
trying to understand the difference in
reading of CPU temperature on different OS.

1. I am in Lupu 528-005 and have CPUTemp
and it says about 48 Celsius in the morning when
I start and end up around 51C after heavy usage.

2. Rebooting into Fatdog64-600 Final (July 2012) using
same CPUTemp says the temperature is 52C and rising and
after some minutes usage it where 54 C and rising. Fan running
but not able to make it go down to 51 where Lupu is.

So sure I should start in the morning with Fatdog64-600 Final (July 2012)
instead to see where it starts and that way the comparing will be more fair.

What I am curious about is this.

I had not activated Noscipt on Murga Puppy forum and had opened
maybe three or four tabs so the guy in the upper right corner may have
caused the rising temperature.

Or one need to tell Fatdog64-600 Final (July 2012) that I have a Atom CPU
and that it is not multi core in case Fatdog64-600 Final (July 2012) try to
activate such all the time and that that makes the CPU temp go up?

Any suggestion why 64 bit OS on a 64 bit machine would rise the temp?

oops I have an Acer D255 with N450 Single core CPU I looked it up
It is Single core
