I was able to update to gu1 even though the file said if failed. But the programs are different so I know it updated.
I did the same for gu2. Which also said it failed
Yes, the files were sitting next to each other.
I have now rebooted with pfix ram
The problem is, some of the fonts are not available. How do I fix that. So some writing looks all like little square boxes.
Also How do I get back to my own save file when I have to make a new one because I am in ram.
Thanks for helping a real greeney

Hi Pete22,
What errors did you receive when running 'click-to-verify-LHP' after the xdelta3 update? If the md5s did not match for initrd.gz, vmlinuz or spup-443.sfs, something is amiss and I would delete those updated files and start over. All of the files, including the 'click-to-verify' and SFS add-ons were changed from 4.43f to 4.43Gu1. For Gu2 the SFS add-ons are the same as for Gu1.
After entering 'puppy pfix=ram' at the boot menu,
copy your old pupsave to 'spupsave.3fs
.save' or similar. The '.save' suffix will ensure that LHP won't try to load it and you'll have that as a backup just in case. Then you can reboot, (at prompt to save your session, choose no/cancel) and this time boot
without 'pfix=ram' and then LHP will use your old pupsave with the new version. If things don't work as they should, reboot with pfix=ram and test again. If it still isn't right, I would download the full LighthousePup-4.43-Gu2.iso as the xdelta updates didn't match. If pfix=ram works, but using the old pupsave doesn't, make a new one with pfix=ram. You can always open your backup pupsave in ROX-Filer by clicking on it to mount and then and copy over what you need into your new file system.
The fonts should all work, with the possible exception of non-LHP documents / web pages created in a different language / character set. On occasion a software update will cause the square boxes but restarting X should fix that. If not, a new ISO with verified md5 and a new pupsave is the best option.
