• Wireless connections should be more reliable with Jemimah's Frisbee Network Manager, updated tray icons, dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant.

• Some new and updated SFS add-ons here (thanks to Q5sys, shinobar and gcmartin)

• PupControl, a full-featured control panel specifically designed for Puppy-based derivatives like Lighthouse

• SFS 'copy2ram' at first or any boot, with a brief prompt for full SFS selection and configuration early in the boot process, prior to mounting the layered file system.
  
  
• If sufficient free RAM is detected, all core files and SFS add-ons can be copied to RAM. This means the Mariner ISO is now a true LiveCD with the add-ons Mariner & LibreOffice SFS running in RAM at first boot.
  
  
• Available free RAM is recalculated after each copy2ram. If RAM is low, only SFS files that will safely fit in RAM will be copied and the rest will mount in place. This way all selected add-ons will be loaded, making maximum use of available RAM.
