Psip - Puppy Phone
There have been some radical improvements to Psip lately since jamesbond has come on board.He has completely rewritten the entire Graphical User Interface. Instead of about 30 files now there is one. The interface is written in the C++ language integrated with glade.
The layout is very similar to that of the 0.12 and 0.26 versions. If you are using old hardware, say more than 8 years then stick with the above 0.26.
The newer Psip also requires later kernels so the 4 series of Puppies are unlikely to work.
We are pretty happy with version 1.2 and it has been compiled for different versions of the later Puppies. See here:
Documentation for Psip 1.2 here.

lupu-525u.iso
I spent most of the day on self education. I learned how to remaster a puppy distribution while keeping playdayz and 01micko straight to desktop graphics intact.I also learned how to create a bootable distro from scratch. It's been a good day.
playdayz has made available a pet package that fixes a few small bugs in the great lupu-525.iso distribution. It's called Instant Update. See below for details.
Instant Update 001 for Lucid Puppy 5.2.5 ->
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet-packages-lucid/Lucid525-InstantUpdate-001.pet
The update
--> fixes Bootflash which did not work in the release of Lucid 5.2.5
--> fixes xgamma-gui which did not work in the release of Lucid 5.2.5
--> updates Psync to be aware of both UTC and local system time
--> updates Firewallstate to leave program icon off on reboot when turned off
--> adds report-video-glx which might be a useful standard for diagnosing video issues
--> adds ffconvert to convert between video formats
--> updates the Lupu PPM in Puppy Package Manager
--> links Help to LupuNews Help
I have included the above fixes in the full distribution here http://www.smokey01.com/puplets/lupu-525u.iso
If you have a slow connection you can download the Diff file here http://www.smokey01.com/puplets/lupu-525.iso___lupu-525u.iso.delta
The Diff file can be applied to the original lupu-525.iso file by using Xdelta file difference manager. Menu>Utilities>Xdelta file difference manager
Drag the lupu-525.iso file into the top field, the diff file into the second field, press Generate and a new lupu-525u.iso will be created.
How cool is that. Anyone can be smart with Puppy.
