I am putting together the bugfixes
http://code.google.com/p/puppy-development/issues/list
there are quite a few outstanding that could use fixing

I got too aggressive with optimizations for abiword and will need to recompile it so that it will open an external browser (required for several plugins)

I think there was a request to compile gtk against xinput ... not sure if Barry's version of 2.18.3 is or not so I may compile 2.18.4

This build may be slightly larger to test some alternative programs ... pwireless2, ten extra calculators (j/k), some different games see below (I am growing weary of testers saying "it doesn't even have solitaire?" - not sure if ttuuxxx's flash solitaire pet is gpl so I built Ace of Penguins with some Debian patches)

I am working 12 hour days these days transitioning to a new job and catching up from being out sick for 2 weeks so it will be this weekend .

One more pet to test, couldn't pass this one up

AVFS allows you to browse various compression formats as if they are a folder

set up to browse *.tar.gz *.tar.bz2 *.rar *.zip and capable of many more (and much faster than Xarchive)

Hi I updated your mimes on roxfiler Smile

most were already done just about 10 or so that weren't Smile

But you forgot one things. You need to edit the sources to remove the annoying "Running as user"root""
I usually delete that section from the sources. Basically just reuse the mime after the next build if you like.

My recommendations for puppy 4.4:
* Sakura Terminal
* GNU Nano

Other ideas:
* aisleriot solataire or something similar
* openbox/tint2 (not a fan of jwm)

Your effort is impressive. I look forward to using it.

Here are two comments:

1. When moving about menu items the little text window that opens very often covers other menu lines requiring deft maneuvering to defeat. I think you should drop those little text windows. We all know what the programs do anyway.

2. Opera is a great choice. Opera 10 would be way better than 9..

These are not negatives. I only wish I had the ability to do what you are doing.

JPS Very Happy
