I'll have individual pets too, after the squash is tested and no additional changes need to be made to them.

I can't write anymore, feedback welcome.

Instructions:
Copy squash file to where you save session is. Then run 'fixmenus' after loading with a saved session and this squash then restart X to see the menu entries. Enjoy.

Download mobi_214.sfs (~24.7megs)
Download mobi_214.sfs MD5

Do you all want GTKam and GTKPod included also? How about Skype?
*edit, added GTKam, GTKPod AND GpsDRIVE.

Name ideas would be welcome as well. I was thinking MobileDevices_2.14.sfs because of the jpilot and synce.
*edit, went with mobi_214.sfs.

Includes:

Three new wizards under Menu-Setup (works in progress, and not necessarily going under "wizards" just put them there for convenience):

IE Favorite Wizard
Host Wizard
PocketPC Wizard (*read below about 'usepeerdns' or it won't work)

-IE Favorite Wizard was around here in another thread.

-The Host Wizard will download and add/update or remove host entries of advertisers to improve surfing. klhrevolutionist and Mic67 had both mentioned this around here. I looked over the license really well and I think this wizard is ok.

-*The PocketPC Wizard needs password verification and some other fine tuning but it does function ok for testing. If you have a password make sure you get it right. Also make sure you have commented out "usepeerdns" in your /etc/ppp/options file or it will NOT work. Read how to set up Fur after connection, below.

Bluetooth:

bluez-firmware-1.2.pet
bluez-libs-3.9.pet
bluez-utils-3.9.pet
dbus-1.0.2.pet

dbus config was modified to run as 'root' rather than 'messagebususr' (or whatever it was). I DO NOT KNOW if this is a security problem of any kind. Since everything else is running as root, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Unless there are some evil looking people withing 30 feet using bluetooth when you turn yours on or you run a multiuser puppy server of some kind.

Seems to start with either of these:

I patched librapi 0.9.1 with the FUR patch last night and mounted my PocketPC with Fusemount. I'll throw that in also. Hopefully have it all squared away for testing in next couple days.

This is cool - sfs package for mobile devices. Call it mobi_214.sfs ?

hmm, does this mean that bluetooth is now working on Puppy? Is it fully working or only partially? my friend stopped using puppy because he wasn't able to use bluetooth to surf the web from his phone's connection.

Sounds like a great sfs file in the making! This is puppies strongest asset at runtime to me. Boot modularity. For that, puppy is one of a kind. Pop a lego in and play with a new toy.

Thanks for jumping in and bringing some institutional memory to the process.

Yes, dbus seems to be the sticking point. If this problem can be overcome, then bluez-libs-3.9 can be used, and pilot-link will be bluetooth-compatible.

I seem to recall that someone on the forum got dbus working in order to run the latest version of the XFCE window manager?

[John Doe]

This part might be it.

Got dbus running as root by modifying the user in /usr/etc/dbus-1/system.conf. I think it's only a matter of time now.

Here is the play by play.

[MU]

eval `/usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session --auto-syntax`

Try to add this line to .xinitrc.
I found this via google after pulling out my hair
Or how I use it in Muppy007:

I do not run the windowmanager (icewm) directly, but using such a script (simplified code, the startscripts in Muppy are more complex):

starticewm
