here is Grip with a "dual phase" installation Smile

run first grip-part1.pup and then grip-part2.pup

this is because total size of original grip.pup surpasses the limit to upload files in forum (1Mb)

Fluxbox 0.9.13 for Puppy 1.0.2

[Edit: this is version 2 ... changes:
- the ownership of the files was wrong
- i added some keybindings
- - for example, ctrl+alt+P will take a screenshot
- i added a buttons-on-the-left alternate init file
- i made the taskbar a bit higher
you can install this version over the old version]

installs in my-applications/bin
uses JustGreg's menu

this version still has a problem with rox rename windows appearing in the wrong desktop, so as a workaround, i made those windows sticky (it's really annoying ... the older stable 0.1.14 version doesn't do that)

http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/

if you have any problems,
you can kill X by pressing ctrl+alt+backspace
you can restart fvwm95 by typing startx fvwm95

the ownership of some of the files in my Fluxbox 0.9.13 dotpup were wrong, so i fixed it and uploaded a new dotpup

i added a few tweaks while i was at it (see the post with the attachment)

if the first version works ok, you probably don't need to reinstall the newer version

you can install over the first version, you don't need to uninstall it first

Wow - it was good. Now it is better yet . . .
JWM seems stable and so fluxbox (which is somehow tied in with JWM?) really lets us play with that Puppy.

Now we are getting back to the Puppy roots. Superfast windows managers. One of the things I notice with Ice and Flux is Gimp has gone missing (and therefore I assume other progs are not present. Is there a common menu file being accessed?- wait let me try a reboot to see if that fixes it)

It is possible (pardon my enthusiams - I am Puppy Powered) that Fluxxing may be the best thing since the Ice age

Cool

Just off for a quick frisk . . .

Jwm and Fluxbox are totally independent ... you can have one or the other installed or both

flux doesn't play as well with rox as Icewm does ... which is the reason for the sticky-savebox workaround

and flux is getting a bit bloated ... that latest executable is over a meg (though i did compile just about everything in ... and it does have support for dockapps builtin ... icewm needs icedock for dockapps, which is about 400k)

the older fluxbox stable is about half the size, and doesn't have the problem with rox's rename windows, and probably uses less ram ... not as pretty though

icewm runs plays well with rox, and is more Windows-like

as far as the menus ... icewm has a nice feature ... it automatically checks if a program is installed and only shows the menu item if it is installed ... flux, fvwm95 and jwm do not do that ... so you can put in all possible menu items, and have some items do nothing, or possibly popup a messagebox saying that program is not installed ... or you can leave those items out and the user is responsible for editing the menus and adding the menu items ... or you can have the items in the menus, but commented out, and have PupGet automatically uncomment the line if the package is installed

Icewm and Fluxbox is still mostly unofficial (i haven't even uploaded an Unleashed package) but it could be integrated into the Puppy PupGet system

to add a Gimp item to the fluxbox menu, you would edit /root/.fluxbox/menu, and in the [submenu] (Graphics) section, you would add something like
[exec] (Gimp image editor) {gimp}
you can add icons to the menu if you like

Monkey Web Server 0.9.1

http://monkeyd.sourceforge.net/

this does not run as root ... it runs as nobody

the config files are in /root/monkey
your web files are in /root/monkey/public_html

this puts an icon in my-roxapps
click the icon to start Monkey ... click to stop
right click the icon for help or info
drag the icon to the desktop if you want a shortcut

Edit: Nov 17, 2006 - improved interface

missing icon for wmxmms

the xmms dotpup has an xmms dock app
it doesn't run because the icon is missing
this installs the icon

Fluxbox has a builtin dock (the slit)
Icewm doesn't , but Icedock can be used for dock apps
of course, dock apps will run anyway, they just won't be neatly arranged in one place

this wmxmms dockapp sometimes crashes, with an error message saying it tried to allocate about 1 gig of ram
i don't know why
