PcurlFtp already has an entry in the Network menu.

From pupsysinfo and PupCamera digital camera access in the Graphic menu. The camera works in Windows 10.

@tallboy,

To access the static content (images) acquired by a portable digital camera/phone/tablet, the following apps may be helpful:

1 - Menu -> Graphic -> PupCamera digital camera access
2 - Menu -> Graphic -> Gtkam camera manager
3 - Menu -> Filesystem -> Connect your android phone (MTP Device)
4 - Alternatively, you could install CamPhoneTab - USB interface for cameras/phones/tablets

On the other hand, to acquire and manage images/videos via the built-in webcam of your Dell Latitude E6230 laptop, you could install the uvc-compliant Guvcview which is available in the Puppy Package Manager.

I am running FF ESR 60.6.1 on this Pup and had to install Mike Walsh's
glib-2.0_schemas.pet

Thank you, guys. Guvcview did the job - eeh, well, sort of...

I updated the PaleMoon 28.2.2 to the latest 28.4.1, and it crashed on opening a log-in window. (reported in palemoon forum). I copied the 28.2.2 in the non-save-file version presented by Lick, saved it to /opt/, and everything works again.

My search for a modern Puppy which run from, and save to, a live multisession CD-R, is over; I found it right here!

Well, it seems that I actually stumbled onto a real bug!

The Dpup is installed using Lick in Windows 10. After I discovered that the upgraded Palemoon chrashed, I deleted it from /opt/, and also the prefs directory /root/.moonchild productions/, and the /root/.cache/moonchild productions/ dir. I then copied the PM 28.2.2 from the non-save-file version of Dpup, from the Lick boot menu, and pasted it to /opt/.
But, since the Dpup .sfs'es are stored read-only, it means that the original Palemoon 28.2.2 is still in there somewhere. Can the original 28.2.2 be revived, or do I have to continue to use the one I installed? (and which I believe is saved to the save-file?) Maybe a nooby question, but I am not familiar with frugal installs.

Thank you. Can I just copy it to /opt? Or make a symlink?

I have another nooby question: I have compiled the latest ImageMagick-7 in Dpup Stretch-7.5, and ran it's test program without fail. A fantastic program! But the final step, installation, spread it's files all over the place.
Are you familiar with a good recipe somewhere in the forum, on how to make an .sfs and/or a .pet from a program I compile myself? I would like to publish them for download here.
EDIT: I found it in the Wikka!
But it is quite old info...

[upnorth]

dir2sfs, dir2pet, and new2dir are still present. I havn't used them in years, but they are worth a try. If it fails, you can use:
make DESTDIR=/somedirectory install
then mksquashfs <options> /somedirectory

[tallboy]

Thank you, upnorth!

Evening, radky/everybody.

Now, then. I'm a-thinking about giving this a look-see. Coupla questions.....

Are the DPups stuck with using .deb packages only, or can they also use .pets/SFSs/run 'portables', etc?

Following a response from Foxpup, do they make use of the Debian repos.....even though, apparently, 'sudo apt-get install' isn't needed? Do they use something similar to the PPM?

Would my 'portable'-Mozilla browsers (based on Fred's Quantum-portable) run in this? (Can't think of any reason why they shouldn't, but it'd be nice to have confirmation, like..!)

And, most important of all.....does it run as root, or as a 'user' only?


Mike.
