Macpup 511
allright thanks for heads up.
i think i'll still reinstall the flash anyways but wait for the new version before setting everything up.
you guys got me hooked on enlightenment back with buddapup and foxy, now i cannot use anyother desktop! after trying pretty much every distro i settled on pclos for my full installs. However, macpup is kicking butt and i look forward to getting back to a lighter, leaner, and meaner distro!

How using udf DVDs in Macpup
How using udf DVDs in Macpup read and write?
It looks fabulous and I will be looking forward to it with eagerness. (My only problem with 5.2 is I can't get JACK audio to install on the official version so it won't be any good to me unless I can solve that. )runtt21 wrote:It still has a little while to go.

Thank you all for your time and effort providing all of the rest of us with such a great gift as Macpup!

Sorry. I wasn't asking anything here, just musing on not being able to use the new macpup when it arrives (unless I've solved the problem by then).
I've put a post in Beginners and entered it as an issue on the Googlecode site. Hopefully I will find a solution and continue on the Macpup journey.

Macpup511 frugal install hangs at "Starting up ..."
I've just done a frugal install to a reformatted SATA hdd. All appeared to go well and I made sure I had the correct text in grub's menu.lst
My problem is that when I restart from the hdd, I get the grub menu fine and select the (only) install. The screen goes black with "Starting up ..." and that is as far as it gets.
I rebooted with the CD and added acpi=off to the kernel line of menu.lst as advised elsewhere but that didn't change anything. I've never had to use acpi=off and in fact use acpid to shutdown from the power switch. BTW I removed the old macpup save file before I did any of this so it was a completely new frugal install from the CD.
Afraid I'm stuck now with no ideas.

Try using the "HOW TO" in this post , use ext 4 ,It's the same for usb or hdd.

Don't add any extra boot code until you try it this way and if you need it later use acpi=force

We are getting ready for the new release. Should have an announcement soon hopefully this weekend. At the moment there is a problem with my macpup page Prit is looking into it. We did change servers recently .

I like it.!
I like that it let me run in an ext 3 environment and the grub4dos. I have Ubuntu 10.10 on the 1TB SATA; Windows XP on the 80 gb hard drive and MacPup on the 40 gb hard drive. Ubuntu 10.10 is ext 4. XP is NTFS. And MacPup is ext 3. I can go to any of the three through the grub4dos. I am running the 520.

Hi
This is my first go around with Macpup511 or Macpup for that matter. I must say e17 is a BIG change from the usual Puppy. I was really glad to see Macpup picked up on my ttySL0 winmodem with no addon pets to get it working.
There does seem to be a problem thou? Where it pupdial? It’s not in the menu and there is no “connect

You should be able to connect throught the wizard-wizard. Its the top hat on the ibar.
