Take a well earned break WhoDo, I'm sure after your hiatus you will be nice and refreshed to coordinate packaging for Woof 5x series.
Cheers.

I had that problem with my Cisco Linksys USB Wifi too. Unfortunately the Puppy I was using couldn't even 'see' the circuit board mounted ethernet port either. I just couldn't access the internet at all with Puppy.Dingo wrote:An interesting note

working fine in Puppy 3.01 series, via NDISWAPPER, NEVER worked in Puppy 4.1, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2
now, in puppy 4.2.1, seems working without pains. today, (I'll reply tomorrow to make a double check)
Windows refugees are used to the idea of creating a PDF document through a virtual printer. But most Puppy applications have the option of printing to a file - either Postscript or PDF. If the resulting file is in Postscript format, it can be converted to a PDF withjackieflorida wrote:I was always very pleased to find a PDF printer native in earlier distros, e.g. 4.0 and 4.1. So I was disappointed to see that it was not included in 4.2 and 4.2.1.

well be on the safe side, right click on your pupsave and copy it, rename it anything like safekeeping.sss then it won't load on bootup, then all you do is rename it back to what it was before if you need it.mattst8ler wrote:I just downloaded 4.2.1 and put it on my uncle's old computer. It truly is a beautiful piece of work! Thank you to all that have worked so hard to achieve such a great distro.
I am still running 4.1.2 on my own computer. Is anyone aware of any problems that I might encounter upgrading to 4.2.1 and using my existing pupsave file? Presently I just run Puppy from CD and have the pupsave on my hard drive.
Thanks again for the hard work!

- as far as I know, no easter eggs in Puppy (though there may be in individual packages) . . .
My EEE 701G runs quickly and stable (sometimes firefox crashes, but it's probably a flash problem) in 4.2.0, but the upgrade to 4.2.1 doesn't find the ath0 wifi device. I didn't tested with the devx-sfs, but any eee-extras take effect. - I'm happy that the downgrade with my pup_save was no problem.In my eeePC 701, 4.2.x has been looking crisp and responding quickly (with the added extras by tempestuous), so nothing to complain, really.
Nice work! I had not thought of trying anything so simple.I went back to one of my computers running 4.1.1 that has the native pdf printer that works so well for me and found the pdf driver: ghostpdf.ppd . I then took a copy of this file on a flash drive to my 4.2.1 computer, invoked the CUPS new printer installation for a pdf printer and pointed the installer to this ppd file and completed the installation.
