I like racy55 so I thought I would try this. I only have 800MHz and 320MB. Find seamonkey a bit slow but usable. However, each time I start it a box appears called default client. I have tried various settings with this box but it will not close unless I press cancel. If I restart the programme the same box appears. I've used seamonkey before without problems. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Regards,

Ken.

Fixed it. Looked for it in about:config with no luck. Found it in preferences and unticked the check box.

Hi again ninotix,
only getting rare occasions to re-test your racy hybrid on the Vaio VGN-TX37GP I mentioned earlier. Writing from it now. Was testing it out as a media center last night, hooking it up to a projector and sound system. Had some hiccups that didn't happen with other distros tested for the same task, which is a shame as I reckon Racy/PRER would be ideal for such a task on the XP-era hardware specs. I'll work through it, but the main issues seemed to be that this (?) xorg and openbox combo didn't compensate for the projector display dimensions automatically - bit of a tiling issue going on when connected via the RGB connector.
The most confounding issue was regarding the audio specs in this machine - snd-hada-intel alsa module configuration for the N10/iICH 7 won't happen, and although I get some default module enabling sound, Retrovol and alsamixer cannot be run as they don't seem to be loaded up.
From what I gather, I have to write a modprobe.conf file with some codes to have alsa load the module correctly. Will try that later.
Interestingly, without a mouse and middle-click options, I can't crtl-copy paste in and out of Rxvt terminal. I wonder if this behaviour was intended in some way?
Cheers

Running on an Asus F5R - What a lovely Puppy connecting well. Video and sound all working.

Simply beautiful.

What could you do with your Puppy Racy once installed, and no more help needed from Linux Puppy team ?
An idea would be to record how to do, if ever you loose memory (your memory, not the RAM)
Take screenshots, step by step, then launch ffconvert and tick record desktop. browse your screenshots.
No audio. comments or music have to be added in a second time.
Not to difficult. Something to try.
I play with Lazpaint. I colorize old postcards like our grandmothers made canvas, when computers did not exist.
A Slideshow to store them, and i erase pictures Jpg. then i post my work on Facebook, to be admired by all my friends and relatives.
Use Openshot for a nice slideshow, if you like it (needs lot of time).
Use Cinelerra ? i you have days and days for a 5 minutes slideshow.

Hello! Both PRER (racy base) and LibertineBox (precise 5.7.2 base) are updated, this is i believe last re-spins of this project, enjoy

18.07.2019 edit: LibertineBox iso updated to 5.7.4.1 I find Precise base as standard for old machines, still very usable distro in 2019
