Thanks FeodorF. Making that empty ATAHD file made all the difference.
I'm typing this now with Seamonkey 2.6.1 in Wary 5.3 --
A good thing, too, since I don't have an envelop big enough for the laptop with the Dell desktop monitor (the original LCD screen died and is now in some corner somewhere upstairs).

When right-clicking on desktop icon sda5, unmount sda5, still shown as mounted and in dmesg May come from losetup or truecrypt or something like that.

Re: Wary 5.3
same problem...alec78 wrote:Hi All,
Did a manual update to a frugal install on the hard disc, deleted the save file so there would be no conflicts, edited the boot.lst file, shut down and booted into Wary 5.3, result, "Searching for Puppy Files ... puppy_wary_5.3.sfs not found. Dropping out to initial ramdisc console . . ."
Booted into Arch on the same laptop, navigated to the puppy_wary_5.3.sfs file, in the same directory as the initrd and vmlinuz files, and checked its permissions, Arch said it had none, so I changed it to "read only", shut down and re=booted into Wary, result exactly as before, dropped to ramdisc console.
Anyone have any ideas before I have to burn a CD?

Short note about /sbin/init :
At the very end it seems that there is missing two slashes for 'dev/console'
and if the purpose to reboot is wanted to achieve , I cant see that running busybox init would reboot -- I think that /bin/busybox reboot [-f] is what is meant :
# busybox reboot --help
BusyBox v1.19.3 (2011-11-09 07:34:50 WST) multi-call binary.
Usage: reboot [-d DELAY] [-n] [-f]
Reboot the system
-d SEC Delay interval
-n Do not sync
-f Force (don't go through init)

Wary 5,3-"puppy_wary_5.3.sfs not found"-Update
Hi all,
Well neither the ATAHD file trick nor an Universal frugal install (twice) worked, all gave the same error message of:
"puppy_wary_5.3.sfs not found".
Have reverted back to Wary 5.2.2.
Ho Hum

What's with the dominating blue color on desktop? The last few versions of Wary and Racy have this blue hue that puzzles me. I thought the ubiquitous blue desktop was out of vogue, and I have to agree with the opinion that all that blue is kinda ugly. Fonts look a little un-tweaked as well, compared to my Wary 5.1.1 full install.

The corner tags appeared again, now seems to trace them back to
/root/.jwm/themes/DeepBlueBold-jwmrc :
The new theme seems to be the only one in /root/.jwm/themes/ directory that still have them . Could not find them in the older theme-jwmrc files or they are commented out .

The blue frames can be changed at:
Menu>Desktop>Chtheme GTK theme chooser>Gradient-grey
Menu>Desktop>JWM configuration>Choose a JWM theme>Flat-grey
And finally change the background by adding new pictures:

The Rox-Filer froze opening /proc directory today , after it worked the last days . Had accidentally drain the battery so fsck was performed for the unencrypted ext3 save file on vfat mother partition .
Missed the old Puppy-4 fixitup script ; easier to type ' fixitup' than 'rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin' .
*
ADDED CHECK FOR BATTERY TO /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d script; also a stop parameter [includes debugging output, not tested well yet] :
[edit : looked in the wrong file for the current state (was /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info 'last full capacity' and had to adjust MOUSECNT from +4 to +60 due to rearranging the code]
As a side note : echo -e "\e" works for busybox ash now , at least since version 1.17.x - did not work for Puppy-4 busybox ash version 1.15 .
The STRING substitution now seems to work in ash, too : no need for the many external expr and tr commands.
Had also put the DISPLAY test at top of the script;don't know if that is a good idea for slow machines.
