Hi guys,
Thanks to Siddhesh for fixing some bugs, and IRC is now working fine.

I am the creator and lead developer for Puppy Linux. Puppy is a tiny
distro, just 84MB live-CD, yet with all the apps you need.
The tiny size has many advantages, like when boot off a CD, loads
totally into RAM and the CD drive can then be used for other purposes.
Or, a networked thin station, Puppy again loads into RAM, no hard
drive needed. Running in RAM, Puppy is extraordinarily fast.

Enough of the sales pitch.

This beta1 does have some bugs, that I'm fixing. Like, I didn't
realise that Ayttm needs the '.la' files to be able to recognise
the plugins. So, I have provided those as an extra file.

The first feedback is that Yahoo does not work. Apparently Yahoo
has changed from April 2 2008. It would be great if you guys could
look into that.

So, it's looking like Ayttm is going to be the flagship chat application
in the next Puppy, baring any major bug and hopefully Yahoo working
again.

Puppy is very easy to use, just download the liveCD ISO file, burn to
CD and boot from it.

Here is the blog post with the announcement:

Here are my blog posts since 4.00beta was released, with link to
