I found and deleted the first freememapplet folder from /usr/bin. I think I followed the instructions in your first post, but even after restarting X nothing happened. So I found the gear icon in /usr/bin/freememapplet and clicked it. Here's what I got:

You get "None" because you don't have calcfreespace.sh... actually, I don't have it either You have three option: 1) Use the old freememapplet, 2) Wait until Barry releases his script 3) Add a script called calcfreespace.sh in /usr/sbin which has: Code: | #!/bin/sh
df -k | grep ' /$' | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 4 -d ' ' | in it... This what the old freememapplet uses...
Also, the help won't work because no /usr/share/doc/freememapplet.htm is available...

Actually, the blue background color signifies that your current memory levels are normal. It's blue for normal (>=20M), puprle for low (<20M), and flashing reds for critical (<3M). I hope this stuff will be explaind in a future help document...
I wanted to maintain uniformity, hence I allowed the colors and memory level definitions to be changed at compile time and not through cmd arguments. Meaning Barry will set the colors as he likes, and everyone will be referring to those...

calcfreespace.sh attached.
Download it to /usr/sbin, then:
# Code: | gunzip calcfreespace.sh.gz
# chmod 755 calcfreespace.sh |

That fixed it (Puppy2a8). One question: why doesn't it agree with "free"?

I think it doesn't show ram unless you're in ram-mode. The rest of the time I think it shows the remaining space in your savefile.

It seems to show the free space in the ramdisk - I am not really sure exactly what that means practically - is it possible to make it show the ram instead?
Also, when I bootup, it isn't swallowed correctly, but a couple of restarts of JWM corrects it. Does anybody have any ideas as to how to fix this?
NB. running Grafpup.

I have added the 'entirely in RAM' case to calcfreespace.sh Code: | 5) #entirely in ram
SIZEFREE=`free | grep 'Mem:' | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 5 -d ' '`
;;
|
A real eye-opener. It's down to about 9MB.

It does not seem to work - still showing free space in ramdisk. This is my calcfreespace.sh
#!/bin/sh
#calc free space in which to create/save files.
SIZEFREE=0
PUPMODE=2
[ -f /etc/rc.d/PUPMODE ] && PUPMODE=`cat /etc/rc.d/PUPMODE`
case $PUPMODE in
3|7|13) #home partition/file mntd on pup_ro1, tmpfs on pup_rw
SIZEFREE=`df -k | grep ' /initrd/pup_ro1$' | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 4 -d ' '`
SIZETMP=`df -k | grep ' /initrd/pup_rw$' | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 4 -d ' '`
[ $SIZETMP -lt $SIZEFREE ] && SIZEFREE=$SIZETMP
;;
6|12) #home partition/file mntd on pup_rw (no tmpfs)
SIZEFREE=`df -k | grep ' /initrd/pup_rw$' | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 4 -d ' '`
;;
*)
SIZEFREE=`df -k | grep ' /$' | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 4 -d ' '`
;;
5) #entirely in ram
SIZEFREE=`free | grep 'Mem:' | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 5 -d ' '`
;;
esac
#exit $SIZEFREE
echo "$SIZEFREE"
###end###
BTW my swallow problem seems to be fixed by installing JWM 1.8 - I can't fathom why, as it worked with 1.7 in other versions of Puppy :)

What puppy version are you using? I use 2.14. I don't have /etc/rc.d/PUPMODE, all the configuration seems to be in /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE
try replacing Code: | [ -f /etc/rc.d/PUPMODE ] && PUPMODE=`cat /etc/rc.d/PUPMODE` | with: Code: | [ -f /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE ] && echo `head -n 1 /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE| cut -d = -f 2` |

I think could better be

SIZEFREE=`free | grep 'Mem:' | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 5 -d ' '`

Because 5 should be included in the joker/wildcard * so would fit into that case .
The wildcard should be always the least case for anything to come to prevent program crashes .
After all these years i guess A) the theme is not of much relevance and B) the ^ case problem ^ is solved by ^ the learning curve ^.
I found out that i really like freememaplet 1.2 but still have problems to find
file:///usr/share/doc/freememapplet.htm
anywhere on the net ,
As i read it is not included in Puppy 2 anymore ?
Which Puppy do i have to dl to get it ?

If you are referring to the freememapplet.htm file,
i have attached a copy that i took out of the puppy-2.12-seamonkey.iso
It is identical to the one in both of these:
puppy-2.16.1-seamonkey-fulldrivers.iso
puppy-3.01-seamonkey.iso

TT Thousand Thanks CatDude !
I could not find anything at the dotpup page except a freememapplet.pup with source by MU which did not include this help page .
FWIW : dopupbasic and dotpuphander seem to work still on slacko-5.3.1 and got dl and installed by the new ppm after i enabled Puppy 4 Repository and checked all four package types .
Nevertheless the above htmlpage is really necessary i think .
The only part that is confusing today in the page would be
Quote: | The first time that you shutdown, you will be asked to create a "home" file, in which to save all your personal files/settings |
which could be confused with the term ^ /mnt/home ^ nowerdays .
Instead ^ "home" file ^ it would be ^ "save" file ^
but i am not really sure about the naming convention for the save[_-]file
for every different Puppy release .
Last year's iguleder's dpup had the "dpupsave-" -prefix for example .
Many Thanks again !
Also to rjbrewer : Now i have freememapplets by clarf,ttuuxxx,pemasu,MU and others .
