Hi all
Just fired up Tman's Saluki-5.2.2.iso - very nice, in fact superb.
Very usable as it is now - very fast and setup to desktop is extraordinately easy.
I added thunar, dillo, CPU-temp and Opera-12alpha. Softmaker office is next.
All running very well on my old Acer TravelMate 243LC laptop.
256mb ram, 2.5Ghz Celeron Proc. 800mb swap partition.
Manual frugal to ext4, sda2. Wifi via pcmcia Belkin card.
Smashing stuff - many thanks and very best regards - Ray
Ray thanks for the feedback
Luki alpha build here I come

Puppy Linux
Running Strong
I added thunar, dillo, CPU-temp and Opera-12alpha.
No browser and I am like a fish
pie out of the tin
I tried downloading Seamonkey, Firefox and even using some portable linux apps
- nope
BUT the Racy build works - anyway either Midori or Seamonkey and we are Salukiing
We have a base - my hardware is Athlon dual core 64bit
So you have the base ;)
Sage seems happy too (see next post)
and he is a hard to please 'erb
SM downloaded and worked for me - used it to get Opera11.6beta which worked even better. Deleted SM. Hopefully, we'll see Jemimah's favourite, Midori as default.

Created a new Saluki forum (scroll down) and can not move this thread there . . .
What is the default browser in Lucid? Is it Midori too? I always download a bigdog browser but Midori will likely be faster and more secure?
What is the default browser in Lucid?
Early releases had Midori...... latest releases have Dillo.
Personally, I prefer Dillo until I can download one of the big browsers.
hi
i'm a johny come lately here, but i love racy. Here's my 2 cents:
stability and reliability. nothing's more important than stability and reliability. This should be the #1 goal (for any new puppy).
all too often some app on my racy or lucid 5.2.8 (or other version) will break when i install or remove something unrelated. then i have to reinstall the whole puppy from scratch. sometimes there are such issues on a nearly fresh puppy install. maybe a particular app will work right, maybe not.
that's just weak. for an OS that's been around as long as puppy, it should be more stable and reliable.
i believe this issue will relegate puppy to hobby-status forever, until it's addressed. i think it's puppy's #1 flaw.
to achieve greater stability and reliability, devs need to find the SOURCES of INstability and UNreliability.
there are probably many sources:
--missing dependencies is probably just one. If puppy package manager is smart enough to tell me about missing dependencies, it should be smart enough to download and install them for me.
--maybe woof or some other component needs to have more built-in check and balances to assure compatibility.
--other causes?
cheers, and thanks to all devs for your work!
It seems like I read somewhere of a change to PPM that would check for the existence of files it was installing and remove them from the list of files to be removed on an uninstall of the PET. I liked that as it meant that other applications I had installed that used the file would still work.
So if the file preexisted, it would not be removed by uninstalling a PET.
I also agree that not having required dependencies for a PET and having to try to find them yourself is a real pain.
Just about to try luki-010 - been using 009 recently - and it is fantastic.
Think J is about to start poking big sticks into PPM - and help sort it out.
SFS's - (now there are a number of good "on-the-fly" loaders/un-loaders available),
could be the way to go.
Certainly, all the sfs's I've used so far have worked very well with Saluki.
Saluki works very well on my 10yr old Acer 243LC Laptop - fast
(256mb ram, 2.5Ghz celeron proc, 800mb swap partition)
But - on a nearly new Emachines E732 laptop - it absolutely fly's.
(2gig ram, i3-370M proc, 1gig swap (or no swap if booting from SDcard)
Thanks Jemimah and all involved - smashing Puppy.
Best regards - Ray
What is the link to download the latest stable version of Saluki?
There is no stable yet, just beta testing, I believe - luki 011

Jemimah said:
We now have several repo maintainers so be sure to update your Saluki package list in the ppm to see all the latest additions.
Aitch :)
Jemimah is adding pets and SFS to the package manager
Go ahead and suggest your needs . . .
Even though not recommended I tend to go the prompt [ctrl + alt + backspace]
and type xwin jwm
There is a lot of testing and support for Saluki . . .
and the 10 000 year old dog runs at 40mph to hunt gazelles . . .
what a great dog . . .
