I found your mupdf-2009-07-07.pet and as I have a load of pdf files I tried it on 214X15.

Running it from the CLI I get

Just out of interest for you ttuuxxx.

Saw this on Majorgeeks.
I don't like Firefox myself as I prefer Seamonkey.

" SpeedyFox is a brand new small utility that fixes this problem with a single click! It seems unbelievable but after you optimize your Firefox
with this tool, you will get a fresh newly-installed feel because
the speed indeed gets considerably faster. You will get up 3 times
faster startup speed, browsing history will become faster, and
performing operations with cookies will be quicker than before. "

Whilst I was trying to remember where I came across SpeedyFox
I came across some other bits and pieces.

I know this is Windows but there might be something for Linux.

Hi Dave I read about Firefox printing not working, So I looked around and found a interesting solution, because I guess its FF3 that has printing issues, so Install this pet and it will give you all the options you'll ever need Smile

I just had to make a small script to make it work with FF:)
included are all the locales that will not be included in the main 2.14X release.

ps could someone test it in Firefox and also do a test page with abiword, I want to make sure it doesn't break anything. Once again I don't have a printer on Linux machines to test it.

When you test the printing the printing pet package above select lpr, That starts the script that loads the program, I replaced lpr with it, So if your print uses or doesn't use lpr it will use the new application instead.
Ps could someone test soon, I would like to make this release tonight and I'll only be up for maybe one more hr, I have to work in the morning real early, well I get up at 5am Shocked

This is where I got the idea from

I added the 2 partview files and well it doesn't look right.
I used clarfs files from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=351309#351309
So I won't be changing unless someone finds a fix Smile

I guess I'll have to finish this release tomorrow after work.

This is the change List so far, almost everything on the list posted 2 pages back.

add desktop-menu for TightVNC.
systemlink /etc/rc.d/init.d to /etc/init.d
changed mrxvt for rxvt
if [ "$CHANGE" = "" ];then # MHHP in /usr/local/apps/XkbConfigurationManager/XkbLayoutConfig line 35
I zipped up 2 of 3 of the BMP skins(Default does work as zipped), did really save all that much space, plus it actually might make them larger due to the fact that SFS compression might be less compared in zip format because images compress really well with sfs. But there well complaints so I'll go for it. lol
removed "Reload" or "change folder" from the background setter since it didn't work and really wasn't needed
added PCountdown

Installing gtklp-1.2.7-i386.pet enabled printing from FF, while not breaking already working printing from Abiword (only did a before_and_after test with a simple garbish-text file).

gtklp has a nice interface with some long-missed options Smile
