abiword was just sort of an example to get the idea across.
Theactual idea is to save a file output from another program to the desktop so that a novice user sees it very easily.
But having rox open it at a different location should work for me as well.

Thanks for the response bugman.
That seems to be my impression too.
I guess I'll just try to work with bash scripts to try to open up Rox and display the file that I'm looking to display.

Is it possible to save something to the desktop.
For example, if I am working on a document in abiword, and want to save it to the "desktop" is that possible? I know I can save it to /my-documents and then copy it over to the desktop, but is it possible to go directly to the desktop?

Thanks CatDude, That's just what I was looking for.

I'm trying to work on a remastered puppy set up to do a full install on a dedicated puppy machine. so I have two main questions. 1 Does Grub need to be installed? My impression is that even if puppy is the only OS it would need grub or some other bootloader to work. 2 Assuming grub needs to be insta...

thanks pizzasgood and jrb for the help.
I think that did the trick. Now just have to test it, and make sure its all working well, but I think I've gotten over my main hurdles.
Thanks again for the help.

Ahh, I copied the .sfs file rather than its contents. Thanks for the clarification. I'll give that a shot.

"Make any changes you want to the contents in the "pup" folder, add files or delete files, make symlinks, etc. " Thanks for the response jrb. I have gotten to the point where I can see the file system. My problem now is that the system is telling me that it is a read only file sy...

When doing a remaster, is it possible to keep the existing cron file? I'm looking for /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root to be in the new version It doesn't seem like there's a way to include it when the script pauses and asks for input. Is the only way with the current script going to be put a script in...

I think I get it now.
I should be able to edit PuppyPin with the new locations of the files and have it pick up the icons wherever it is listed.
I'll go try that now.

EDIT: ok, not quite right, but probably on a closer track.

The Puppy Pin files are copied and there is even a section in the remaster script that removes the drive icons. What you need to copy over is the actual icons you installed (to the same location) and any background images etc... thanks for the responses. I have the icons copied to a /temp/root/my-d...

Hi, So I was working on making my own puplet and I'm getting there, but when I do the respin and try it on a new machine, I seem to lose the icon pictures that I used for shortcuts on the desktop. A shortcut button shows up, but the icon is the generic one for an application. Any thoughts on why thi...

thank you technosaurus and disciple.
I'll have a look there.

I'm working on a puppy derivative. I'm wondering if it is cool if I take documentation from here: http://www.puppylinux.org/manuals/puppy-40/english/how-install-puppy/full-installation and modify it slightly and include it in my derivative. Also, do I need to maintain any of the puppy logos etc to m...

I just asked the same thing after knocking my head about.

hope it helps.

that's exactly what I wanted to do.
I figured it would be something like that.
Thanks a bunch.

So I'm trying to figure out how to add icons to the desktop.
I can take icons away, but adding seems different.
Is there a howto? Or maybe I don't even need that.
Any help is appreciated.

Decided on using amixer instead for the command line access.
its pretty easy to work with.

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to modify the default settings for sgmixer. When I look at the .sgmixer file in root it seems blank, where I thought there would be presets or something. Can anyone offer advice on how to modify default settings? I'm trying to do a remaster and I'd like to make sure ...

thanks for the new script pizzasgood. i will give it a go tonight
