Testing Precise 540.
There are very few sfs files in the Precise repo. Coming from Lucid 529, I tried loading LibreOfc-3.3.1_en_US_sfs4.sfs from that distro, using SFS-Load-on-the-fly. The SFS loaded and updated the menu correctly and then offered the option of starting a program immediately. I selected Impress, which sent the system into a HDD-thrashing loop and froze the system. I had to power-off to recover. On rebooting, impress seems to work just fine.
skype_static-2.1.0.81.sfs, which I got from the forum Lucid 529 thread seems to work well.
I tried loading skype-4_sfs4.sfs, which I got from,
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 706#642706, thanks to 666philb. It also works, but the sound quality seems to be quite a bit worse. This is based on very limiited testing, as I am off to Jakarta shortly.
Can any existing sfs files which are known to work on 5.4 be referenced from the Precise repo? This would save people an awful lot of searching.
So far precise seems to be working without major issues on my Compaq C700 and Thinkpad TF400 laptops, using USB's prepared using BootFlash installer. On my Compaq desktop, both manual frugal and USB flash work fine.
