Thanks broomdodger, I implemented it and it works nicely, I also found the headphone audio o/p is down by default. Turning it up fixed my volume problem. Also your attached zip file is empty???? scsijon, thank you for the feedback. I just downloaded mixer.zip with Seamonkey and QtWeb and both were ...

The Retrovol also has L-R control, but hidden. + right click on the volume in the tray + select Full Window + mouse over the 'Speaker' control + press 'shift' and scroll mouse wheel to change left + press 'control' and scroll mouse wheel to change right + without the 'shift' or 'ctrl' keys change bo...

And as a request, I'd also be interested in seeing a L-R balance control appearing at some stage in the retrovol package Puppy has had L-R balance for some time, but it is not in a menu that I know. When the mixer is open, use 'F1' to learn how to do L-R balance, and more. Create access to the mixe...

Precise Puppy 5.7.1

That cluster of 9 MB's worth of ffmpeg / libav libs still appear to be duplicated in /usr/lib and /usr/lib/i686/cmov I thought they had been removed or converted into symlinks during the size-reduction phase a little while back. I could not find the dups: find /usr -iname '*ffmpeg*' -ls >find.txt 2...

Memory is maxed out at 1gb. I don't have a swap file. Could that be it? 1gb is enough, but I would test the memory. A swap file seems help. Use PPM, install 'memtester_4.2.2' and see if any memory problems. Run memtester several cycles, it takes a long time. Browsers use more memory than just about...

Seamonkey and Opera crash very often.

How much RAM?
Do you have a swap file? If yes, how big?

@jim1911: Here is something to try. Pick a Puppy where NTFS mounting works and copy its ntfs-3g components into Precise. For example, I went into Wary 5.3 and got the files /bin/ntfs-3g, /lib/libntfs-3g.so.79 and /lib/libntfs-3g.so.79.0.0. I dropped these into Precise and mounted an NTFS partition....

Setting nocopy for Precise 5.7 brings initial RAM usage back down to near the same as Precise 5.6.11 that is... 199MB rather than 554MB with copy.

Is copying to RAM mostly an advantage for flash installation?

This current Precise version by Barry WORKS on the only Netbook I have....very well.

Both of the vaio laptops are the same,
both exhibit the same problem.

Couldn't get either Claws or Sylpheed to run in 5.6. Might've had something to do with huge lists of dependencies? Didn't see .pets for either, either? I download the source: http://sourceforge.jp/projects/sylpheed/downloads/58458/sylpheed-3.4.0beta3.tar.bz2/ And compile, runs great Precise 5.6 Bill
