Thanks Wolf Pup. That's a big help. Now we need to build the team!

NOTE: I observed and reported items 1 through 4 below in 431 RC1 and 431 RC2. I am now reporting the same in 431 Final. Frankly, I am disappointed so see three significant problems ignored. Why?

SQLiteManager and CPU Freq Scaling are important applications. Worse, we have all known about the SFS ...

Ongoing report of issues observed in 431 RC2 (frugal) on c.2004 Athlon-based desktop (frugal) and/or c.2000 Intel P4-based laptop (CD).

4. SQLiteManager "freezes" after selecting Tools/Options.

3. Bootmanager loading or unloading of SFS files still resets desktop icons!

2. No compatible modules ...

Ongoing report of issues observed in 431 RC1 (main) on c.2004 Athlon-based desktop (frugal) and/or c.2000 Intel P4-based laptop (CD).

4. Confirmed: SQLiteManager "freeze" after selecting Tools/Options.

While not a dev, I do enjoy tracking and browsing Puppy dev efforts. And it appears to me that Puppy is rapidly out-growing this forum. Looking down from 10000 feet, the forum is (sorry) a mess. I'm in my third or fourth year as a Puppy user and I still have trouble finding and following projects ...

i am reluctant to use corporate america for things that can be had else where as it tends to add a distasteful flavour to the whole project also if it is under your control you can correct issues. like this: below cannot see the full page in my screen (to the right) and there is no way to get to ...

Joe,
Just a note to share how incredibly solid and reliable Slaxer_Pup has been. You managed to breathe new life into my former favorite Puppy, 4.1.2. The combination of 4.1.2 and Slackware stability and hardware detection makes for, dare I say it, the best Puppy ever.

I was using Slaxer when 4.3 ...

Hiveman, perhaps it will reassure you to hear that the touch pad and external USB mouse on my Dell 8200 laptop work perfectly well under 4.3 "small". No disappearing pointer or intermittent behavior.

You might check to determine if your 8200 has the last BIOS release. Mine does. A BIOS reset would ...

Forgive me, but I don't see either side of this discussion getting much traction. It does not appear to me to be an "either/or" matter and the solution is as old as the hills. Permit Puppy to remain small, easily downloaded and low resource while making it *simple* to select and install additional ...

Two observations:

1. cdparanoia segfaults in both 4.3 main and small kernel 2.6.30.5. It does not segfault in 4.3 main kernel 2.6.25.16.

2. Ripoff consistently dies in mid full-disk rip. It's cpu utilization then goes from ~1% to 90+% and the process must be killed. Observed in all tested 4.30 ...

I'm observing a particular and fatal instability in 430, both 2.6.31.5 "small" (am presently testing main) and 2.6.25.16. The problem seems related to Xorg and window manipulation over time in a given session. It tends not to occur during sessions in which there's little or no window creation ...

Update: pup-430small runs very well. No issues observed.

430 standard 2.6.30.5 appears to be experiencing rather serious problems related to module loading. Results vary from boot-to-boot. I captured /var/log/messages on one occasion in which neither network or audio setup worked - at one point the ...

Dogone, good point. i will make a note on the first post, that it should only be used as a last resort.aragon
I've since been experimenting with ddrescue. It's works as advertised - very well. I can recommend it.

Puppians must note the distinction between "ddrescue" and "dd_rescue". They are ...

Just to let everyone know that running Safecopy on a floppy disk on my system works - once. Safecopy leaves the drive (not the disk) in an unknown and inoperable state. The drive stops working until the BIOS seeks the drive during boot. A soft reboot or power-off does not recover the drive! An ...

I'd prefer to see this thread tee off with the following working hypothesis:

"Puppy 4.4CE will be superior to Puppy 4.3 and any other Puppy derivative in the following respects:"

Everyone simply promoting their favorites apps and utilities will not a great Puppy release make. There has to be a ...

Hey ttuuxxx, that reflection looks a bit on the devilish side. We don't want to scare the kids. Can you soften the ripples a bit and fix the physics?

Hi Flash, it's a hidden folder in root generated by flash player named .macromedia. If you haven't got one already just play a youtube video then have a look. You can delete the folder manually, create a script to delete the folder...
Here's my solution. Just employ Pschedule to run this script ...

Follow-up: I'm getting used to the Silver Marble icon theme. I may not choose to use it but I am beginning to like it.

Follow-up: The ALSA wizard problem described below is seen on *all three* of my machines - a circa 2004 P4 laptop, a circa 1999 desktop employing on-board audio and a circa 2004 ...

I'll throw my four-cents in at this point.

$0.01 The best way to help your Windows user friends and relatives is to show them Linux and let THEM decide.

$0.02 The biggest mistake a Linux supporter can make is to spend valuable time berating things Microsoft when they could be working to improve ...

Hey thanks aragon. Whaw is very useful indeed. It's running under SlaxerPup412 and working just fine. I'll report observations and issues to this thread. Much appreciated.
