Hi backi,
Thanks for answering my questions.
Oh, but possibly you have started over with a new save file, in which case the links would be fine again.
In that case, I would suggest trying Barry's Service Pack 5.4.2.2, just released yesterday.
Upup Precise 54X5 has newer Woof fixes that weren't in Puppy Precise 5.4.2, but will be in Service Pack 5.4.2.2, including the fix for PUPMODE 2 users. I don't quite see how that fix would affect PUPMODE 13 users, but, like I said, I have no experience with PUPMODE 13. So it is worth a try.
Good luck.

OK. Those are the same symptoms that were seen by PUPMODE 2 users.backi wrote:When this happens (downloading with PPM ) and all textcharacters are corrupted i restarted X ....then all my Desktop Icons are gone .

But that is different. That is the correct link. For PUPMODE 2 users that was changed from a symlink to a directory.backi wrote:lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2 Nov 29 02:28 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -> ./

missing fi instruction. Note the $PS I put in and the added fi in
the below code segment:
##w468 rox may not start old hardware, try again... 120517 bring this back...
$PS="`ps`"
if [ "`echo "$PS" | grep 'ROX\-Filer'`" = "" ];then
if ! busybox pidof ROX-Filer;then
touch /tmp/roxfilerstartupproblem #see /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d
sleep 3
fi
if ! busybox pidof ROX-Filer;then #check again.
rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
fi
fi
I first tried this with sleep 3 as above and eventually changed it to
sleep 1. I've done a total of 17 hard machine reboots so far with
no black screens. I've counted seconds from the last text message
(starting x server) until a gui appears during startup. It has varied
from a low of 6 seconds to 31 seconds but most of the time it's
21 seconds (even with sleep 1).
BTW, I'm a old engineer-programmer who knows BASIC and
assembly language but I'm unfamiliar with the scripting language
used here ... just for your info. It appears that fi acts as a END IF
and one was missing.
I've mentioned before that all my test machines are similar, The
one I used for this test is a DELL Dimension 2350 having a 1.8 ghz
Pentium 4 and 768 meg RAM.

# sleep 0.5
# if ! busybox pidof ROX-Filer;then #check again.
# rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
# fi
#fi
That is good that no black screens, however in Service Pack 5.4.2.2 I have tried a different approach to try and fix it.
Would you mind putting the comments back in, in file /root/.xintrc, then install the SP, then do the multiple reboots thing again!
Service Pack 5.4.2.2:
http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00065
...if you don't want to run the PPM, just click to download and install the PET.
If the SP fixes the black screen, good, otherwise I will implement the fix that worked for you.

Ok Barry. Deleted the old .2fs to start fresh. Started Precise 5.4.2
PAE and installed your 5422 upgrade. Did the save file for a fresh
frugal and began doing machine reboots. No black screens in
twenty reboots. Looks good. As I've said, the frequency of black
screens was about 1 in 5 so 20 in a row seems convincing that
you've fixed the problem. It was nice to see a consistent 13
seconds from the last startup screen message to the GUI. Has
the feeling of solidity now.
The latest versions of Slacko and Racy also have the black screen
problem on my machines, BTW. Just a reminder
I've mentioned this more than once on the forum but while I have
your attention I'll mention again that the latest versions of Precise,
Racy and Slacko have given me no end of wireless headaches
whereas Slacko 5.3.1, Wary, Lucid and Luci THD are all OK in this
regard. I can give particulars to anyone interested in digging
into this and fixing it. Since my Linksys wireless-G WMP54G PCI
adapter is probably still fairly widely used, I suppose many
potential Puppy users have been driven off by this issue.

What I can tell. You are using rt2500pci kernel driver which is the appropriate and it has been loaded.
DESCRIPTION: Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2500 Wireless 802.11bg
VENDOR: 1814 DEVICE: 0201
KERNEL MODULE: rt2500pci
There is error message in kernel messages:
which means that there is some power management problem. That message can be erased by executing command:
I dont know if that has any help with your connection problem but at least it eradicates that power management bug.
Otherwise...I couldnt find anything wrong with my skills. Also...searching with google didnt give any insight atm.

Barry,
Not exactly a Precise issue, but may be an overall issue with Puppy.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Hello,
I just finished an iso based on Puppy precise 5.4.1. I don't really understand how these releases numbers work indeed (big gaps!)...
My (silly) question: How could I upgrade Puppy precise 5.4.1 to Puppy 5.4.2? Is there a pet package? If yes, where could I download it?
Thank you!
Cordialement.

Argolance, there is a explanation of the use of delta files here:

Si tu as besoin d'aide, je peux éventuellement de donner un modeste coup de main.
Je prépare la prochaine ASRI Edu (elle sera basée sur Puppy Precise).
Actuellement, j'ai pour base la 5.4.2 (avec les updates).
Pour ce qui est de mettre à jour la 5.4.1, il va effectivement falloir utiliser le fichier delta car BK a effectué plusieurs modifications sur woof.
Ou alors, tu utilises la dernière version de Precise en ajoutant uniquement tes modifications.
Cordialement,
