I don't agree with you that the English version is too bad and useless. I think the main chapter is how to get and install Puppy. I updated these chapters to version 4.0 before I made the manual available to the community. At the same time I announced my retirement from the English version because i...

After I handed over the English manual (see www.puppylinux.org) to some new maintainers I concentrated myself on the German manual only and finished it for Puppy 4.00. Now I had a look at the English manual at www.puppylinux.org and unfortunatly I recognised that this manual has still old stuff from...

@ttuuxxx: I think you are wrong. You need developers at least when you change the basesystem of a distro. You can't stay many years with the same basesystem because hardware and software change too much. And then you need developers. It is one thing to add aplications or change the look and feel. Bu...

I think I'm level 2. I made some Pet-packages in the past, added several Debian-packeges to my Puppy and I'm familiar with shell scripts. Besides I wrote the Puppy manual at www.puppylinux.org

My suggestions: First of all we have to find out who is able and has time to be a developer. If we can't find a core team of developers there will be no future for Puppy. Than we can think about a "council" of some engaged Puppy users that brings new ideas to the developers and discusses w...

An Laie: Das Handbuch als downloadbare html-files würde bedueten, dass die Ordnerstruktur wie auf dem Server lokal nachgebildet werden müßte und alle Bilder lokal abgelegt werden. Ich denke html ist die geeignete online-Version, pdf die geeignete offline-Version. An Oui: Wenn ich Dich recht verstehe...

This is the way I did it: Start a shell. Enter the following command: geany /etc/rc.d/rc.update Search for the line "/usr/sbin/fixmenus" and add a comment-sign # to the line. It should looks like #/usr/sbin/fixmenus Save the file. Then you can edit the file .jwmrc to create your own menu. ...

I will have a look at it on Thursday evening. Today I have no time.

Here is some additional software that I mentioned and described in the Puppy manual at www.puppylinux.org. How to install: 1. Download the file to /root 2. Open a shell and enter: md5sum filename 3. Check the md5sum 4. Enter at the shell: tar xzvf filename.tar.gz -C / 5. If you installed locate_4.4....

Is there a list of all libraries used in Puppy 4.0? If I add some new programms it would be good to know if the related libs are already available or if I have to add the libs by myself. This would save time instead of try out.

@craftybytes: You can't open the manual in the sandbox. Either the manual is at the publish area or it is in the sandbox. And because the main chapters like how to run and install Puppy 4.0 are finished I decided to move the English manual out of the sandbox into the publish area. So everything you ...

@craftybytes: ... that's why I advised to make some exercise at the sandbox first. Perhaps Tom or me can repair the page. Please let us know what is wrong now with the English manual. Don't get discouraged, everyone can make a mistake. I don't have a "Users Manual" for the TinyMCE. @puppyl...

Welcome to the new maintainers. To add a new page to the manual, click on "Manual" and than (at the left side) on "Add page" (see picture manual1.jpg). To delete a page, click on "Edit" first. Than you will find a button "Delete" at the end of the page. Be car...

Hi crafty, hi puppyluvr, thank you for your offer. I want to describe what you should have to do. First you will find at www.puppylinux.org the English manual. When a new release of Puppy Linux is published (with major changes to the former release) I update the German manual. In the meantime I add ...

The Puppy 4.0 manual is available at http://www.puppylinux.org/manual in English and German language (there are still some minor updates necessary, that I will do next days). The Italian and Spanish manual will be published soon. (I search for a maintainer of the English manual. Please have a look a...
