peebee, following your tip to rename savefile works, for the most part... regular ScPup 32 and ScPup 32 with LXDE updated without issues... even renaming the ydrv for LXDE worked well. However, LXQt would not load as ydrv nor as a regular SFS...have went back to 20.01 + 6T for use with LXQt, also us...

Thanks peebee, renaming the savefile works. Successful upgrades of both
regular ScPup 32 and ScPup 32 w/LXDE...haven't done it yet in my ScPup32
w/LXQt...will try that one later. In LxPup Sc32 now. Loading LXDE via ydrv
works in this one. Again, thank you for these great Puppies!

Went back 1 release further on the ydrv with LXQt desktop to find a "stable" notification area panel on the taskbar, LXQt 0.14.1, QT 5.14 Also, the new release ISO of ScPup 32 doesn't want to load a prior savefile, when I attempted to load the new 20.06 it bypassed asking about the savefil...

peebee, I've noticed a bit of irritation with this latest ydrv in ScPup 32, the "tray area icons" are a bit difficult to click, such as network manager, CPU monitor...the taskbar hides almost immediately. Have rolled back to previous and will check for the issue...posting this from ArchPup...

Not bad

Hi OscarTalks! I'm here now in NetSurf 3.10 32 bit, booted into ScPup LXQt 32bit on my old Acer netbook. This could be a good "basic browser" for 32 bit Pups, in place of others such as Light (currently included in ScPup 20.01 +6), as long as potential users were advised that NetSurf is no...

When you installed Slacko, it looks like it placed those files in the same directory as your UpupBB files, this overwrites any files with the same name (initrd.gz, vmlinuz, etc), SO, let's try extracting your UpupBB iso into the directory to replace the Slacko files, then try a reboot and see if Upu...

Can you give us a few details about the computer you are using? Might help a bit to know what we have to work with as far as CPU, RAM, video.. Other than that, we also need to know how you installed Palemoon??? Did you install from tarball directly from Palemoon, or did you use one of the pre-made S...

Thank you norgo. I may download your pets for future use, just in case!
Do you have any idea why these patches are not in any Puppy? I'm
assuming they were commits to GIT, but if they weren't perhaps it would
be prudent to do so?

Well, after reading this topic for awhile, and being somewhat a follower of peebee's ScPups, I decided to give ArchPup 32 a tryout on my little old netbook, Acer Aspire One AO150, Intel Atom N270 1.6gHz, 1 gig RAM, 120 meg HD, did a frugal install to HD of s243a's latest ISO, rebooted, ran through i...
