Pup-430-small.iso

[Sage]

Downloads and runs like a dream on everything tried so far. Once MU produces an Opera .pet, this would seem to be the version of choice!

previously titled "Unannounced" - now explained at :

Using Pnethood 0.65 to share from mynet I get the following:

NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

This happens from 4.25. Some mising dependencies?

It does have less drivers than the other versions

May have less drivers, but it seems noticeably faster.As long as you don't need any of the removed drivers.

Tx Lobster for lightning reply.

Tried on every version not only in 4.3 small; it seems missing contact with my home network from 4.25 to 4.3 betas.

Same error is reported for HP printers and not solved (libnetsnmp dependency).

Which kernel does the small iso use?

Which kernel does the small iso use?

Good question. I wanted to know this also since I sometimes have to download ISOs more than once to get a "clean" one that md5 matches.

[James C]

2.6.30.5.........same as the main release.

I d/l all of 'em....except the scsi iso.

AFAIK, this is the same as the main release minus some drivers, mostly modem drivers I think.

[rjbrewer]

Using full installs.

The new ath-5k replacement for ath-pci took a few repeats
and reboots on my pc but works well now.

My Belkin usb zd1211rw zipped right through, no problems.

No grass growing under this Puppies paws!!!

I don't understand. If you run the Puppy Package Manager and find the 'hpliplite' HP drivers package in the puppy-4 repo, it will also install the 'libnetsnmp' dependency.

I confirm that libnetsnmp is not automatically installed by Puppy's Package Manager when installing hpliplite (Checked in puppy4.3). It can/must be installed manually.

I think that I will need to do some work on the PPM to clarify that.

When you click on the hpliplite package, a window comes up, and it lists libnetsnmp as a dependency. The text in the window then advises to click the "Examine dependencies" button.

If you do not follow that advice and just click the "Install package" button then the dependency does not get installed.

My misunderstanding. Thanks for the explanation. Sincere apologies for the noise...

Not noise! I ran through this on the beta versions, tried it every which way, and found that if you just select to install Hpliplite without farther investigation, the dep gets missed. With less experience, some folks will have trouble with this I fear.

Not really a bug as such, just procedure.
