If you are considering adding the PPM improvement to lupu528, please wait. I see that some of the modified scripts are ones that I modified to make flash-drive installations work ( in patch-8 ).

You may also want to consider this PPM improvement that allows searching multiple repos with multiple terms (eg video edit). Given the Luci/Ubuntu extended repos may be more useful than in any other puppy.
There is also a Lupu-compatible pet that also includes the pupy-common and puppy-noarch repos,

This works for me on first test mavrothal It is necessary to restart PPM after adding repos, I think.

Sulu installed frugal on ext2 partition.

Wirelesss works out of the box (didn't on Lupu 528 v5, or Wary. Does on Racy 5.3)

Alsa sound works out of the box (didn't on Lupu 528 v5, does on Wary and Racy)

A previous installation insisted that 13

Just checked the lucid puppy news page, and it still refers to 5.2.8.004. Should we consider 005 released?

I'm confused.

Great to have so many choices of 528-05 but why all mixed up in the same thread?

If you add the following at the top of /usr/local/petget/pkg_chooser.sh, immediately after the comments, will do the trick

I tried your solution in your post immediately above in Slacko 5.3.1 and it did not seem to work.

Hopefully it is OK that I may I ask here if it might reasonably be expected to work in any other Puppies?

My regards

REPODATE=`find /root/.packages/ -ctime -7 | grep official`

REPODATE= 

Oh, this will work only if your (mavrothal) changes have been installed???
