Hellos MU,
I was able to check and install on my Compaq CQ60 today, the ath5k for the odd Atheros 5007 (or whatever shady chipset Compaq put into it) works perfectly making this the most advanced puppy that works with the laptop. (and one of the 2 that ever booted on it lol)
I still have issues with the application chooser, it will not let me choose a default app when clicking a music stream or torrent in firefox. It kinda locks up. Guess i will have to set them apps in the Firefox settings myself but would be elegant if it let me choose an app to use on the fly and save the setting up of default apps this way.
This is what i got running atm on both machines:
- smp
- cpu scaling (powernow-k8)
- Nvidia (chipsets 7600GT fanless mainpc, 8200m on laptop)
- Networking (on the laptop, ath5k driver)
- Beryl/Compiz on both
What i still need to figure out and find:
- Corresponding devx package and get a compiling system
up so i can port some apps i can't live without from arch and/or AUR and convert the tar.gz's to puppy pet format. Prolly wise to look into the woof alpha code for this purpose.
I am not a dev by any means (i scrible some in gambas 2 usually) but i might be able to put something together to automate the AUR --> .pet thing.
Great to hear that you work on these bug fixes, will try the new version when its up for DL. Great job!!
