Out of curiosity, did you get the ffmpeg_sumo plugin to work? (it's for html5 video). Before I updated libc, I couldn't find a compatible binary.

Here's a really small and nice image viewer 16KB pet, it has rotate, slideshow, fullscreen, its still in the early stages, like zoom doesn't work yet but has a menu item for it.
hmmm next time I'll remove the zoom from the menu. Unless someone can get it work Smile

Hi. So many posts in this thread. Cool

Is there software in this updated pup that will allow it to connect to an ISP using broadband ADSL2+ (that's what it's called here in Oz). What is the name of the ADSL software in the menu? Are there any limitations in using 214X on ADSL2+ that I wouldn't encounter in one of the all-new derivatives?
As you can guess, my experience has been limited to dialup internet until now. Embarassed

Shep :

ttuuxxx lives around the Hills district in Sydney.

Classic Pup will run fine.

I'm in Sydney myself...tested it out.

Just connect >> Ethernet 0

Test >> Ethernet 0

Auto DHCP save >> done

Enable the Firewall >> enter twice.

You should be fine to go.

//////////////

Not brilliant but >>how to.

Save as Yes..done etc after Auto DHCP.

Hi,

I´m sorry about my lack of updates/reviews/comments in this thread, I´m short of time lately and this won´t change in the next months. Anyway I´m preparing two small updates for Classic Pup 2.14X, hope they could be included in the next release, if ttuuxxx has some free time...

The first one is Pclearfont, a Font Appareance Wizard that helps to configure fonts rendering for LCD or CRT displays. This small application intially was a hack for Igulender´s fontwizard utility, but as I differ about some basic ideas, I made many changes, added some features and options for 2.14x. Yes another wizard for Classic Pup...

The second is an updated pnethood with some bugs fixed.

For now I´m attaching Pclearfont, enjoy

Pretty cool little project here.......a 2 series Pup redone and able to run the latest Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Smile

I don't really care for Chrome but I'm running Firefox 3.6.8 and Opera 10.60, and still running 214x every day.

Hey all, newbie question here...I finally installed/got everything working in Puppy 2.14 RC5 on the old IBM Aptiva I had kicking about (200mhz Pentium, 64mbs RAM, 512mb Swap) and it's not exactly a speed demon, but it's ok.

It came with Firefox 3.5 by default and I wanted to install a more basic, less resource-intensive browser...which I noticed in the Official Repos in the Puppy Package Manager as SeaMonkey 1.1 - However, when I select any of the servers to get the pet from, they all cannot connect, and checking those sites from my browser, it seems that pet is actually no longer on any of the servers?

I had noticed a few other SeaMonkey .pets and had tried installing those, but they gave me a long list of dependencies I was missing. Can anybody tell me where to get a nice pet (including necessary dependencies, or at least providing a separate link to the required dependencies...) that I could use on that computer? I wouldn't mind if it had flash and java enabled either...not that I'll be trying anything other than basic surfing on it...it's mostly just something to tinker with Razz

Thanks a lot for any help! Smile

EDIT - Also, suggestions for a nice Pidgin .pet would be nice too Wink

EDIT #2 - On a random side-note, I've noticed that every time I restart, another CD-Rom icon appears on the bottom left of my desktop, yet they are all for the same drive and I have not made any hardware changes? Anyone have any idea how I could stop this from happening so there is just the one icon? Thanks!

Thanks Sinc! I'll give it a whirl Smile

Installing it now...any thoughts on the CD-ROM icon issue?

EDIT: Just installed FirePup, tells me it is missing masses of dependencies? Sad

Any idea where to get them?

man, i use 214x all the time but I'm playing around in lupu right now. there is an icon on the desktop that controls those. you can try playing around with the settings but I can't remember what its called. its next to MUT I think on the desktop.

try unchecking the option for "all" and setting it to "perm". sorry if I were in 214x right now i could be more helpful. trying to go from memory here. sometimes just redoing things fixes 'em also so you could just try exiting to prompt and type "xorgwizard" and just run through that again. i haven't had that happen so I'm just suggesting a few basic ideas.

EDIT: actually its menu>desktop>desktop mountpoint settings. try selecting perm.
