The 'retro' version (for old machines) can be shipped without the bling.
That's a good compromise.

Hi all.

Just a simple statement of fact here. Bear in mind this test was conducted with the machine at idle and no windows or extras open. I run in RAM with a 1,5GiB swap partition, save is back to CD.

Htop process viewer says my machine has 471MiB RAM, that's fine, I have onboard graphics.

When Pwwidgets is running, 5 widgets, Xonclock and 4 conky based widgets, Htop reports I am using 102MiB of RAM.

When Pwidgets is turned off it reports I am using 100MiB RAM.

When Pwidgets is off and 1 Seamonkey window is open I am using 120MiB of RAM.

When Pwidgets is on and Seamonkey has 1 window open I am using 126MiB of Ram.

By that rationale, at worst, with Pwidgets running 5 widgets, it is using 4MiB of RAM. That's less than 1%. And 1 more widget than default. Sure, play Tv and Slideshow and these numbers will go up significantly. Try this experiment if you like.

Remember, everything was loaded and machine was at idle.

NB: Htop reported that NO swap was used in each test.

Cheers All.

The boiling point of water is 212 degrees F or 100 degrees C. Even though my body is better than 90% water, mine's a whole lot lower than that and way closer than many here might think.

This is a BUGS & FIXES thread and definitely NOT the place to argue policy or direction. I am sorely tired of having my threads hijacked in this manner, and I'm simmering with anger that my earlier warnings about such things have simply been ignored.

Therefore, I will rest for 24 hours until my temperature cools to rational levels and then I will decide whether I will simply upload what I have as Puppy 4.2 Final and be done, or persist with the further "polishing" this release deserves.

I am NOT looking for expressions of support, apologies, reasoned arguments, pleas or excuses. My decision is out of anyone's hands but my own at this point. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind they say. We'll see.

As Bugs & Fixes goes, I consider 133 system links in a root folder where any new user can accidentally delete it a major bug and needs to fixed, also I don't know how micko managed to see his memory resources being so low, I just tried on my slower 1 gig or ram pc and it was taking close to 1% on ddr2 800, imagine a 256MB sdram 133, Thats a bug and won't get fixed unless you try to work with us, I sure hope you do.

Here's what you asked for, 10866KB Seamonkey, its been tested and works fine

P.s Do you need any other help with this release or am I finished ?

Here is the icon_switcher fix:
You can now include separate 24x24 icons in /usr/local/lib/X11/themes/. When icons are copied to /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps, 24x24 icons will NOT be overwritten by the iconswitcher unless theme misses unique 24x24 icons.

/usr/sbin/icon_switcher, line 85
for ONEPNG in `find /usr/local/lib/X11/themes/${NEWTHEME}/ -maxdepth 1 -name \*.png | tr '\n' ' '` #removed -type f (zigbert - Puppy 4.2)
do
ONEBASENAME="`basename $ONEPNG .png`"
cp -f $ONEPNG /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/

Hey I noticed something also when I checked the size of the Seamonkey working directory, with debug enabled it was just over 1 gig, and with it disabled it was 415MB wow what a size difference. anyways I'll try one last large thing hopefully for this project, I'll try to compile the latest Firefox for the repo, It will look good on distrowatch green area

Here's an optimized globicon file for your rc3. See the result when 'Add icon' from left tray.

Very important
When building the iso from the unleashed tree, does every program installs via petget????? If not, the fixmenus script does NOT include symlinks in /root/my-applications/bin/. You can run the removed loop from fixmenus on its own.
