jwm701

If you hold your mouse in the position shown below (and perhaps click and move slightly, maybe with a task open) you will likely be able to crash jwm. However the 701 developer snapshot now fixes this.This is in precise 5.5RC and other versions of puppy also.

delayed run

I am not sure if it is a real improvement or not but I think it is:
in /usr/sbin/delayedrun, I change line 199 to read:
[ -x "$a" ] && exec $a &
Things seem to run slightly better for me after. This is in multiple versions of puppy also.

java direct entry... bug

I believe I have found a difficulty with java and how it works with puppy. This seems to have started perhaps with a java after 7.07 when at that time I used wary 5.2.2 and could directly enter from the keyboard into a java program which is run directly by java -jar.

xload twice

My single thing I can report on is that xload in /usr/bin ought to be a link, since it is also in /usr/X11R7/bin. I came across this because I disable xload so precise will run on older computers faster.

Luci-246 is nice but a few small things I ran into

I noticed that if I run jwm and use rox to copy several files (using several windows) that a crash is encountered booting you out of xwindows. This happens for both the full hard disk and frugal usb install. If you're still wanting to cut down on space a little bit, I'd say reduce the background cho...
