newsNetwork upgrading for Frisbee 1.4.7
The latest and earlier releases of EasyOS and Quirky have Frisbee,
version 1.1-20130415-modified, a network manager developed by Puppy
Forum member 'Jemimah', with improvements by various people including
forum member 'rerwin'.
rerwin (Richard Erwin) has continued to develop Frisbee, and has now reached version 1.4.7, see forum thread here:

rerwin has looked at EasyOS 0.7 and determined what needs to be updated to support Frisbee 1.4.7:

I have worked through rerwin's changes, and have applied all of it to
woofQ, so the next releases of EasyOS and Quirky will have it.
The old Frisbee PET has been retired. I renamed it to
frisbee0-1.1-20130415-modified.pet, and have kept it in the 'noarch'
repository.
Easy and Quirky will now be built with frisbee-1.4.7.pet.
rerwin posted changes to /usr/local/frisbee/disconnect and
/etc/init.d/frisbee, however, as those files are from the old frisbee
PET, they are now removed.
These are all the files modified by rerwin, that are upgraded in woofQ:
/etc/rc.d/rc.network_eth
/usr/local/simple_network_setup/rc.network
/usr/local/apps/Connect/AppRun
/usr/sbin/connectwizard, connectwizard_2nd, network_default_connect, networkdisconnect
I am expecting the next release to be EasyOS Pyro64 0.7.4, in a few
days. It will have the above network upgrades, plus the pup-event
service manager. The former adds a new enhanced choice for network
connection, the latter should be an un-noticed under-the-hood thing.
