Since you can run precise 5.5.0 . make a new savefile with it and rename the save file.

I'm having similar issues trying to install Macpup 550 - Video Freezes during boot from USB.
Note: This is not a problem for Macpup 528.
Mother Board - Asus P5Q SE/R
Video Card - AMD Radeon HD 6450
Any suggestion on getting this to load would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Just to give a link with a person that had troubles with that GCARD upgrading from Ubuntu Lucid to Precise :
http://linuxnorth.wordpress.com/2013/06/11/troubles-with-ubuntu-12-04-and-radeon-hd6450/
Macpup-550 includes XORG_HIGH (Mesa/OpenGL) by default - not sure about 528 .
Kernel modesetting might be different and the newer libdrm might handle that different, too .
I have no ATI/AMD machine, so cannot say much else about it .

I used PPM to install 'ATI Drivers' on Macpup 5.28 and the system froze.
Is there away to use standard VGA at boot-up --> until I can install the correct graphics driver?

What we need is mainly log files .
The Bootup has two/three different stages :
1) Initrd.gz 's /init , that loads a few drivers in frugal installations .
2) The /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit that loads the most drivers .
3) The xwin script that starts Xorg .
If your screen is usable until xwin starts , then the way would be to boot frugal with the pfix=nox option
and examine the files in /initrd/tmp and /tmp .
After that xorgwizard might need to run to choose the vesa driver for example .
If things hang, the log files likely are still present in the save-file and are possible to be viewed booting another Puppy that works and clicking the save-file .

MP550 comes with three screenshot apps. The e17 screenshot app is in the main menu as "take screenshot" this will give you a full screenshot that you can edit with mt paint. If you right click on the top window border you have the "take shot" option that will give you a screenshot of just that window. This option can also upload your shots to :
http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/
My fav is mtpaint-screenshot screen capture under graphics in the menu . This will also give you a full screenshot but it opens in mtpaint so you can instantly crop or resize it .
Also included is screeny capture windows app but I have never used it.

Sorry for bothering again but I am trying to figure out how can I select a small region screenshot with mtpaint-screenshot screen capture.I used before Carolina Linux and the screenshot option was way more easy to use.I dont want the whole window but just a small region to be able to upload it on prntscr.com.I dont know how to do this.
