so far so good. using Busterpup 8.0 and had no sound or wireless issues.
youtube did not choke, and video file playback is fine with gnome player.

looking for the next option up fron tahr64-605. this seems promising.

what i can say from using puppy since 2008 is the 3 series to the 4 then to 5 was basicly the same. barry built it then variations would come out. he changed part of the build and filesystem with 431. thet 5 series was when woof became the framework to build puppy with. it was to use other distro ...

/desktop in root. still not happening. if i highlight 6 files and try to drag it just shifts highlight from text to icon. no movement

dejan, i installed-frugal of dpup 487.

did the delta update no issues. things are generally fine all around.
one issue i have is that i dump my /desktop evry month or as needed. when i tried to highlight the contents and move to my dump folder, it won't do anything. single files yes but not mass ...

if you are updating deps from squeeze you may run into conflicts. the big difference will likely be that the kde deps from squeeze will be for kde4 vs 3.5
unless kde is your highest priority, i might suggest using dejan's dpup 485. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=67662

dark city, barry made spup 100/200/400 due to questions about why the other pup5 branches had been ignored
.
haven't tried 100 or 200 but used spup 400 for a while.
it was nearly as good as gospil's dpup 484. and i did get files from slacware repos out of it cleanly
it did most of what was hanging ...

from the age range of the poll what i see are folks that wanted to try something different.

most have been around windows for many years and some of the pre-windows computing.

so they weren't necc worried about having to get their hands dirty.

i'm 46. one of the reasons i came to puppy was the xp ...

as to whether 511 is superceded by 520/525 my guideline is whether or not a cd update between versions break things.

this is the main thing to avoid between version numbers
even bugfix releases can behave badly

here's another method you might try out.

make your savefile approximately 1g if space is there.

save all data-pics,docs, etc on the hd outside of the savefile.

this keeps the savefile for settings and book marks and installed software. the reason for 1g is that will be the amount of live ram when ...

just install the .tar.gz in a directory.then run it from that directory using the firefox script icon in that directory. that keeps them from conflicting

tried 485 and it is very nice :D

i like the updated pupspace marker and auto network setup.

things that i had to do were:
1. added new links in the openwith menu for seamonkey and firefox.
did this so i could open and play saved .swf files/games

2. what changed between 484 and 485 in the way ...

i have used many of the various older and newer pups.

i am glad to see that some of the early issues with lupu are being fixed.

that said i have been using gospils dpup since oct 2009 with no issues and 484 since jan 2010.

it has been my fallback/main pup since then.

like with all things puppy ...

sorry . was trying to reply to the dpup vs lupu thread...
but if this thread sorts out some of the discussion so be it

let me say that i have been using puppy since 215ce.
so i have gone through the various trails and issues of usability with puppy.

the 3 series was what i used for 2 years.
the 4 series up to 421 had some issues due to the learning curve of switching to gtk2
when i got 421 i liked it. solved most ...

you can change that.

not sure where it is located but that is a png that is made for every release. so you would just have to find it and make a changed one for yourself

reread and you said you edited the .sfs

you haven't actually changed the .sfs other than by content
which is why it still is called lupu.sfs
you would need to rename it. but not sure if it will work correctly afterward since it isn't a remaster. using the remaster scripts will let you rename the ...

it's very good for a file host. you have a good selection of pets.
saving wolf's stuff is very helpful .
and big mikes repo is keeping up to date.


but if it's allowed you might get some topic related banners. that would give a chance for some revenue. but not interfre with the files

hey micko01. looking good so far.sound at boot . no video issues. auto connect no prob.

some things:
1 no screensaver- it turned my monitor topwersaveingmode. might sugest adding xscreensaver to it.

2. yay link in new window works in xchat!! thank you. please post that somewher so that it can be ...

some versions of puppy don't have a full selection of drivers for dailup . I don't have puppy5 to see what's up there but for 431 at ibiblio.org there is a special puppies 431 folder. in there is a 431 intel-scsi.iso

that one has all the dailup drivers
some of the newer release have had a few or ...

they are the ones that puppy sees well. have been using puppy for dailup for 4 years now. one of the only linux that finds and uses my modem. a usr softmodem doesn't like to work with lin

re awol and linux. they had a version for linspire a long while back. i might try and get that binary if i can ...
