Have built a slacko pup (32-bit, kernel 4.4, which is number 24 in the list during woof build)
It boots from CD and USB, all the way to desktop on a Dell Optiplex GX-something, which has on-board Intel gfx, and also boots to desktop on my main PC (with AMD radeon 7750 gfx) ..
Am using it now.. Works very nicely..

For reference, the previous errors (now gone in
6e9bb39?) were "missing xorgwizard-automatic, line 113 of xwin" in one very recent build, and missing "FreeSans" font errors in a slightly older one... I had those errors on both machines mentioned above, and in a VM.
... Now some general observations..
1. Is the missing fonts message that prevented my desktop loading up (in previous builds) related to not including pTheme?
2. JWM is crap at working out 2 monitors, and moving them around is a real pain - compared to the drag and drop UI that Xfce provides.. Any way round this? Zarfy, maybe?
3. Does the Universal Pup Installer insist on overwriting the MBR of every drive/disk that uses GRUB? (or is it just me?)... Seems every time I try to use the Universal Installer, it insists I replace my MBR with
mbr.bin (or other).. Can the Universal installer not work out I have a working GRUB, just leave the MBR?
4. IIRC, the Grub4DosConfig app doesn't backup the
menu-adv.lst file, only the
menu.lst file..
5. Where is the documentation about adding new petbuilds and pet packages to Woof? I want to create a new branch and make it build an Xfce pup (ideally... baby steps)..
6. I've noticed that none of the following keys works as they should in Urxvt: Crtl-Left, Ctrl-Right, Home key, End key ... Should this be fixed in /etc/profile, or ~/.bashrc? i'm pretty sure i've got a puppy bashrc with all these fixes in it somewhere if anyone would prefer them working in woof-built pups..
7. How does having an Fdrv and a Ydv affect the zdrv-cutter thing? .. It that still a thing? Can't find it in my newly woofed pup..
