I've just uploaded the June 2007 edition of EZpup.

MU has mirrored here:
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/WindowManagers/

and PkaG has mirrored here:

Changes to the June 2007 edition include:

I expect to release EZpup updates quarterly from now on, and I am taking requests for inclusion in the September edition.

I am also wondering if there would be interest in an EZpup-Lite version, restricted to my personal choices of themes, icons, etc. to save on size.

Enjoy.

this is my second attempt to run and install - just wanted to post this message before rebooting

hope it helps

update

Yep it worked despite the error messages - I think I was low on memory hence the first fail - gonna have a look now - many thanks Smile

Also if I reboot X server, I just get a blank screen (I then have to turn off the computer) Anyone else get this?

Another aspect of being "lite" is having a JWM-only and IceWM-only packages. Will that make sense?

Simply copy the attachment to /root/.icewm/themes/Vista_Black_IV/taskbar and click to unpack. Then restart IceWM from the menu.

Enjoy

when adding .sfs files, the icons on desktop change back to normal icons, can this be fixed instead of reinstalling EZ-pup?

WhoDo,

You really spoil us !! Nice work !!
BTW - I tried to install this on top of the previous EZpup, to see how much space it would take. To my surprise, it only takes additional 2 MB (perhaps for the desktop backgrounds).
So - for those contemplating to "upgrade" from the previous EZpup - go ahead and do it, it will NOT consume another 65MB of space.

cheers!

(EDIT:
I prefer to maintain standard EZpup rather than -lite version. I found that the added functionality of updated Rox and IceWm to be very useful. Of course the artwork itself is excellent, but with added functionality it is better !

In fact - I would prefer the 2.15CE additional "bells-and-whistles" (that is not part of the SFS) be incorporated in EZpup - so that I can upgrade to 2.16 Twisted Evil

Thanks !

Will document and get back to you.

Some people would think otherwise though - as the packages are available in dotpups.de anyway Smile

WhoDo
Cursor choices is exactly what I was gonna suggest ! Thx

The only other I can think of for now is minor..noticed the desktop 'lock' Icon has gone since Ezpup upgrade, is their a way to make it an optional comeback

Cheers
