Graphics configuration for Lighthouse Pup 5.00
* When booting from a GRUB bootloader, please add xforcevesa nomodeset to the kernel line in your menu.lst.
(Booting from the CD does this by default, and using grubconfig in LHP to install GRUB also does.)
* How to configure KMS - Kernel ModeSetting. According to ICPUG, if you have Intel 855 graphics, boot with puppy i915.modeset=1 and either select the intel driver (Option 2 in xorgwizard) or auto-configure Xorg (Option 1 in xorgwizard).
2010.12.12 Lighthouse Pup 5.00 G (build 501)
A faster and leaner system than 5.00F, with a number of new features, including
* Choose your own browser
* Lighthouse Update for reliable access to many new Pets
* frugal-symlink (Move and Link Programs) maintains a smaller pupsave (on a Linux partition)
* Customized Pwidgets desktop applets in JWM, IceWM and Xfce.
* The Mariner ISO has a folder /pets for even faster access (ideal for dial-up Internet) to most of the new apps on Lighthouse Update.
