I just made a frugal install of MyWolf-017. It booted flawlessly, found my LAN, established remote printing with no trouble.
A couple of small annoyances right to start. I don't see how to change the desktop wallpaper. I can't drag icons from the file manager to the desktop for a quick launch. Let me know if these are just ignorant oversights on my part.
I wish someone who made a derivative would include Freecell.

Sorry, Grumpy. I just found the launcher at the top of the screen with the Control Panel. Your wolf howling at the moon doesn't go to the top of my screen, so I didn't think there was a wbar.

Hi davec51

I an not a coder so have not been able to get a gui for the change background image but if you look at the wiki page it will help you.:

And as for a quick launch icon you will have to add it to the toptray and that is not hard but again no qui but this wiki will help guide you:

You said you wanted Freecell well just open Puppy Package Manger at the topbar and then goto games and install the gnome lite games says has missing dep but it still works will try and find the libs.

Hi davec51

I an not a coder so have not been able to get a gui for the change background image

Puppy Arcade uses the JWM wallpaper method..

I always use a symlink, named "/usr/share/background/default.jpg" -
this symlink points to whatever image i want as my desktop.

To change the wallpaper, I just point the symlink at a different file, then restart JWM

With this in mind, I created this GUI wallpaper-changer tool for Puppy Arcade 8..
Hope it works for you..

[GrumpyWolfe]

Thanks sc0ttman

It works like a charm I will be putting out a update for this and fix the control panel while I am at it.

[davec51]

Thanks again, GrumpuWolf, and you, too, Sc0ttman, for quick and effective responses.

[GrumpyWolfe]

Here is a fix for the Control Panel and by installing the Jwm-wallpaper you can then change the desktop with ease

Sorry, this ISO version was a non-starter for me. It didn't even recognize my keyboard, so couldn't manage any settings even in the pfix=ram mode. Went back to the version that worked 008.

[GrumpyWolfe]

Sorry to hear that it may be the kernel let me look at it may be able to find a fix,

[GrumpyWolfe]

Sorry ndujoe1

I will have to wait until Berry Kauler gets the older kernal ready to work with xserver 7.3 I have not found the right mix.

Hi GrumpyWolfe,

Using a Gateway W340ua both versions 016 and 017 booted fine, nvidia ethernet., xorg 1024x768x24.

And a big WOW for all of the downloads you have for Puppy, a tremendous body of work for the Puppy

Thank You,

Jay

I would like to thank you for taken the time to voice that. Sometimes a little word from puppy users helps to keep me going. BTW working on Mywolfe-018 going to try and make it a multiply user puplet. Have a 10 year old girl at home and she is very computer smart so to keep her under control will be making so I can use ipchain to prevent her going to site we do not want her to.
