26 Sept, 2009. About pup-4.3JPbeta
There is also a difference of the kernel version. Please test another one when trouble is found in the latest kernel.

Operation with mounting RAM256MB or less:
This ISO file is 118MB, smaller than alpha, but still large (For Japanese localization like the dictionary etc.). Though Puppy run when trying by mounting RAM256MB, but when looking Youtube etc, Seamonkey drops.
Please shutdown once and make the personal storage file when starting with live CD at the time of mounting RAM256MB or less. I think that operation will be more stability when you use over 128MB personal storage file.
Shift from alpha version
Shifting from 4.30JPalpha, left pupsave as it is, and just replace pup-430JPalpha.sfs with pup-430JPbeta.sfs. If you have problem, please boot with "pfix=ram" and confirm. When there is a description fixed to alpha with menu.lst, replace
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /pup430/pup-430JPalpha.sfs
to
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /pup430/initrd.gz
Changes from 4.30JPalpha to 4.30JPbeta
1. Update of HELP
As for the highlight, past FreeBasic deleted and scoop a new language Genie in "HOW TO Programming for Puppy".
2. Update of Applications
- For zpxxx.sfs of universal installer
- Grub4Dos v1.1 - When installing Puppy in USB thumb drive etc., it is possible to make to the menu only in the USB memory.
- acpid -4 - There was strange operation of shutting down when beginning this time because it suspended to shutdown so far and to close the lid there. The power supply cuts automatically sooner or later if the lid is closed and left after the shutdown by this correction.
- winfont-3.3 - Fixed though the font of Win 9x/Me was not able to be used as the one with the case where the virtual memory doesn't become effective.
- e3,MP - Both for Japanese (Depend on Shintani information).
3. Additional application programs
Added /usr/bin/xev. Deleted Pcdripper. Revives Ycalc into menu. Additionally, it is possible to execute other applis from the command prompt or gexec even in case of not being in the menu.
4. For key code of Xorg/Xvesa
Prepared /root/.Xmodmap.xorg and Xmodmap.xvesa.
In any case, the Kanji(Chinese) character key and the Windows key (menu display) are sure to work.
5. Reduction of excessive images
/usr/share/inkspace/about.svg image(200kB!) etc. Over 10kB images are reduced or has been compressed.
6. The wallpaper is the one by jebaJQ8.

- When two or more main SFS files exist in PC, and which SFS file might likely to be adopted, and in a Japanese version and an original version, it to be different.
- For instance, when saved personal storage file "pupsave.2fs" in the subdirectory (e.g. /mnt/home/puppy ),
- In a Japanese version, addition SFS file is read from either of/mnt/home or/mnt/home/puppy. However, only the one that exists in/mnt/home is effective in an original version.
3: In a Japanese version, there are applications not displayed in the menu.
- superscan, alsamixer, burniso2cd, xcalc, Ycalc is executable only from "gexec" or the command prompt.
- SQLight Manager : from "Tool" of the menubar of Seamonkey.
4: Additional software only of Japanese version
- pupsaveconfig 1.2 : GUI of personal storage file setting at the first time shutdown.
- Winfonts 3.2 : When Windows is installed, divert the Windows font and the virtual memory.
- acpid-1.0.8-3 : Shutdown with power supply button. Suspend by closing the lid such as notebooks PC.

- deb2tgz : Conversion of Debian system package.
- rpm2tgz : Conversion of RedHat system package.
5: Improvement of drive recognition
When PC has two or more HDD and starts from USB thumb drive/HDD, there is a problem that a part of drive is not recognized to the first stage in the original version. However, the improvement is added in a Japanese version.
