If you want an operating system for editing movies, writing letters or printing spreadsheets: don't use Browserlinux.
Browserlinux is for browsing the web. If you want more, use Puppy Linux!

Hi Lisek, There is no difference with 353. The same fonts and the same Mozilla-preferences. Is it real ugly?lisek wrote:Martin,
I like your puplet but the previous BrowsLinux 353 has much nicer fonts than the current version with newer kernel & SMP. That is my perception, maybe wrong?
Hi dWLkR, I removed al lot, but not GPRS/UMTS/HSDPA. I tested a bluetooth HTC and that worked. Give it a try.dWLkR wrote:are you supporting GPRS/UMTS/HSDPA-equipment?

What a shame, I didn't notice that before.puppymartin wrote:Did you use de Microsoft Webcore Fonts installer?lisek wrote:Yes, the fonts are jagged on my PC with BrowserLineux354, dont know why. This may be coused by my Ati card?
Though with BrowserLinux353 the fonts are great.
Start at: /root/my-applications/Install_Microsoft_Webcore_Fonts.sh
After the installation - it's ok now, nice fonts - many thanks Martin:)
Earlier I installed "Microsoft True Type Core Fonts" and changed these files:
font.conf
local.conf
according to SitHeelSpeak's suggestions here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=10576
BUT that didn't help this time like in others puplets.
Microsoft Webcore Fonts - that's it.
Another question. I've installed your BrowserLinux354 [SMP] on USB-stick.
In the extlinux.conf there is:
Code: Select all
default vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash pfix=copy nosmp

Yes, delete nosmp and it will be faster. You can see the difference (the running CPU's) when you start htop.lisek wrote:I've installed your BrowserLinux354 [SMP] on USB-stick.
In the extlinux.conf there is:My CPU is 2core - do I need delete "nosmp"?Code: Select all
default vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash pfix=copy nosmp
BTW, try the new version: 355
Succes!

You can always find original files on:lisek wrote:Could anyone give me oryginal content of:
.jwmrc-tray
please!
The file is invisible and located under /root
I cant restore the oryginal one by "JWM configuration manager".
- the ISO-file. Click on the ISO (or mount the CD)
- or at location: /initrd/pup_ro2.
Then and go to 'root'.
Code: Select all

Ive found this way on the forum, but I have full install [dont see any /initrd/] and have no CD with BrowserLinux at my work, so your listing helped me at the moment.You can always find original files on:
- the ISO-file. Click on the ISO (or mount the CD)
- or at location: /initrd/pup_ro2.
Thanks Martin.

Hello
I love the idea of this and will install tomorrow, one question though, I have puppy 4.31 and pupeee on usb sticks, should I wipe it and have a complete reinstall or is it possible to just change a couple of the files (I'm guessing initrd and vmlinuz) on the stick, also my pupsave file will it still be compatible ?
hartelijk dank

Goedemorgen gonkbag,
To update, replace the initrd.gx, vmlinuz and pup-431.sfs.
And yes, you can use your 355 save file.
Succes.
btw, a beta version of browserlinux with chrome browser:

puppymartin,
Thanks for Browserlinux357.
Have you considered adding jemimah's "ramboot" to your "init" script in initrd.gz?
A frugal install of a puplet that's dedicated to web browsing, runs totally in ram, with no mounted 'sda1', that throws away the pupsave.2fs on shutdown; sounds like a fairly safe way to surf the web.
I did this with your Browserlinux355 and I like it. So I'll try it again with this one.

Edit: It works, I have attached the initrd.gz I used, just rename it.

package manager to extend browserlinux
Hey. I downloaded browserlinux, and it works great on the (ssdless) eee900 i bought for my girlfriend (who's rather linux-illiterate). Other puplets have trouble with the sound/wireless/erata. However, I want to add some other software, such as abiword, amsn/pidgin, but am unable to find the package manager in /usr/share/applications.
Somebody in freenode#puppylinux assured me there was a manager in browserlinux. Could there be some reason I can't see it?
Alternatively, any other suggestions of a base from which to build a simple and usable puppy for my girlfriend that will have the eee900 hardware (particularly the wireless) as happy as browserlinux?
Many regards,
Lauri
