Oh boy...
Does not recognize the LG 24ge40nu CD/DVD burner
No ext2/3/4
That damned tmpfs instead of /tmp. Lotsa stuff gets lost there, some trivial like the disconnect icon for networks others not.
This and precise 5.7.2 light are no-go

Money talks... no, it shouts, so that it doesn't have to hear common sense.
Did you check the MD5 Checksum of QuickPup that you downloaded and compared with the given checksum?
Tossed it already. Keeping Precise572 onCD... no repos, no security upgrads possible
Will D/L again and try FF78.9 32-bit in it. But no ext2/3/4 supporrt is rather un-linux-like.
C'mon... it won't hurt a bit, I promise.

Hi mistfire,
thank you for this "update". But - the permission to download from your google-drive is not properly set, so download is not possible.
Your link leads to the google-login prompt for the Google-Drive ...
peace
Sorry for the inconvenience. The download link permission has been fixed. You can now download the file
Dead fish.
D/L 21.03, burned to CD, md5sum matched
Configure eth0 (DougAl), Added FF78.9esr and installed 3 add-ons (uBlock, Clear URL, CSS exfil) and set up about:preferences. Close browser and D/C from internet
Gparted sdb1 2Gb partition to W32 and set boot flag (NO ext2/3/4 available)
Install to sdb1 shutdown with 512Mb save ext3 (3fs)
... my SanDisk USB stick that WILL boot as ext3 NO BOOT
Furthermore, the unacceptance of the cd burner caused a no handshake condition that locked the door... can't remove the CD using the button.
Well, I put AtomicPup ff66 back in, and the CD burner recognized ... door opens, toss your CD in Trash.
useless ro me... I been running 32-bit for 6 years here, and another 6 years with the EEEpc suplied Xandros.
BTW, you might try a k4.19 hernel LTS with patching from kernel org enabled.
JMHO and experience

Quickpup 21.04 frugal install with grub4dos.
After first quickpupsave.3fs is created,
it wont boot up anymore (boot error!!!)
Did you put the main sfs file on a folder?
If error message dialog was shown on dialog, choose save temp file. select the drive where to save the temp files. Once the temp files was saved (in tarball). Send the temp files on this thread
On my latest experiment. I successfully build QuickPup64 from ScPup64. However not fit for release because the samba's reliance on ICU68 while the other components relies on ICU69 (I need to make all apps rely on ICU69 to reduce bloat further). Also the icon bug on legacy systray of xfce4-panel 4.16. The system tray failed to refresh icons. It leaves the previous icon behind the updated one

You probably need a rebuild of ScPup64......... Samba has to be recompiled every time icu updates........... I reverted xfce-panel to version 4.14 to make systray work........... I will be interested to know if 64-bit Thunar crashes for you........

I installed the xfce manually from slackware current repo. I only got from sfs files you provided was only desktop files. The stock desktop file ones shows nothing on xfce4 settings manager. The latest 64-bit thunar from slackware current repo doesn't crash and runs smoothly. The whole 64-bit xfce desktop runs nicely except xfce4-screenshooter which blackens the screen if compositor was enabled. xfce-panels is not compatible with xfce4-panel 4.16 and it pulls older libs.

I use Scpup64-21.04+2 iso. Your delta files provided will not work. Can you provide 21.04+2--21.04+3 delta file instead?
@peebee
I successfully extracted samba from ScPup 21.04+3 and installed it on my QuickPup64 21.04. The main SFS size reduced by 10Mb. What a big file size reduction
What compression and blocksize did you use?

This is the boot screen error picture and after 60 seconds just quit.
It is something wrong with created quickpupsave.3fs
Does your drive where the savefile is created works fine without filesystem corruptions?
I think my HDD works fine. It is setup with grub4dos for multiboot, hundreds of bootable ISO files (ntfs-sda5) and frugal folders (EXT3-sda6) for testing.
I replaced the created quickpupsave.3fs with previous version (dont remember which .3fs version it was) and it booted up fine with this menu.lst:
title Quickpup_21.04
root (hd0,5)
kernel /Quickpup/vmlinuz psave=/Quickpup pmedia=atahd pupsfs=sda6:/Quickpup/puppy_quickpup_21.00.sfs psubdir=/Quickpup
initrd /Quickpup/initrd.xz
This G4D configuration also works fine, but it will not create quickpupsave.3fs. It will save automatically without asking YES or NO and will create automatically a lot of folders inside /quickpup/
title Quickpup_21.04
root (hd0,5)
kernel /Quickpup/vmlinuz pupsfs=sda6:/Quickpup/puppy_quickpup_21.00.sfs psubdir=/Quickpup psave=sda6:/Quickpup pmedia=atahd
initrd /Quickpup/initrd.xz

If the storage device was fine, did you check the filesystem if was not corrupted? Well according to your bootloader configuration, savepath was already specified on PSAVE parameter so it will automatically save the session upon shutdown
"did you check the filesystem if was not corrupted?"
Sorry, I dont know how to check the filesystem is corrupted or not.
In my case, the created save file "quickpupsave.3fs" is exist in the /Quickpup folder and at next booting Quickpup v.21.04 give me boot error (see the boot error picture I sent). The result using other PC is exactly the same boot error.
Hope somebody will do the test?
or maybe just my mistake somewhere.
64-bit QuickPup is now eminent for release. However it hit another roadblock, double clicking a file on a Desktop shows Dbus error message related to Thunar and it turns out that Thunar crashed when called by dbus upon request by xfdesktop. However launching Thunar from terminal or double clicking /usr/bin/thunar doesn't crash thunar
