hmm as i'm one of those weird 'need to have most recent version' guy... any way into adding it to 528 and/or getting it included in the future? i peep'd your site and it doesn't look like you have made a .sfs/.pet due to them not working well with puppy.... and this is kind of a killer feature for me
A lot of the illume stuff has been merged into e in the latest builds. I haven't released an update yet because some of the features don't work right at the moment.But that isn't unusual for the e team, they change stuff 5-6 times a day in the SVN. In a week or two and it will be fixed.
I can see several issues with running macpup on a tablet ,first I don't know if it will work with a touch screen. If it doesn't you wont be able to customize the setup for the tablet because macpup's desktop is pre configured.
I know that bodhi has had some success running on tablets. You may need to try that.
At the moment I am in theme mode. Duma did an re configuring of the old Elive Topaz theme. I have updated some of the components. Clock,Battery,Temp,CPU freq and added a boot splash screen. I will have it up later today or tomorrow.

Valid things to consider. Luckily its one of those tablet/laptops... so I'm not too worried about touch screen initially ad long as I can use it after some tweaking. I was looking at bodhI but when I went to their site... non of the links worked. Just didnt scream optimism do me .
Either way thanks for speedy replies.

To anybody who owns a tablet computer...
A user reported some success in using the pen in
a tablet computer in this thread.

He was using Lucid Puppy and had the following
M1300 tablet computer. Pentium M, "1000 MHz"
512 Mb RAM
If anybody else can get a tablet computer to work
They should report in the forum.

i truly think the puppy community is one of the most helpful linux community there is...
okay i tried it last night... and i couldn't get mac pup 525 to boot... kept getting a kernel panic error right after it says loading .sfs into ram. i made sure the download was okay and reburned the brand new disk a couple times with no luck...
i did try bohdi.... sorta hated it lol. they made too many (imho) customizations of illume(some were admittily pretty cool... like the application menu) ... and i had some quarks with getting firefox to work.... but touch screen worked out of box!
so more messing around today. . i'm going to give 528 a whirl to see it'll boot.

I hope anyone who tries it has better luck than I have with this type of thing,
my copy is on my desktop so I can copy it and give it to anyone who likes to try it.
