I uploaded an Amarok SFS, it needs testing, see my previous reply. If it works well I'll make K3B and Koffice SFSs too.

Squeeze is kinda stuck at the moment so my working hands belong to you in the immediate future

EDIT: playdayz ... 232 ... does it use Lucid packages?

Courtesy of jim1911, here is an sfs of LibreOffice 3.3

http://diddywahdiddy.net/Lucid_Puppy/LibreOffice_3.3.0_beta2_sfs4.sfs

I checked and a group just broke from Oracle and took a branch of Open-Office with them, renamed LibreOffice. They are supposedly supported by many companies including Ubuntu and Novell, and will supposedly use some Novell developed filters for MS compatibility. But I thought that was exactly what GO-OpenOffice was doing, Novell and all.

This is an update to the url and the package.

Iguleder, the Amarok sfs did not quite work. It seemed like it tried to change the window manager??? Because when I rebooted X failed to start, but the commnad 'xwin openbox' got X started again. In trying to run the amarokapp, I got these messages. These KDE apps are a nightmare, imho--01micko and I both have been stymied.

Here is what worked for me:

Edit the file /etc/xdg/menus/puppy-multimedia.menu
-replace all instances of the term MultimediaSub with somethingelseSub

i changed it to MultimediasSub, but it seems you could change it to multimediaSub if that would make it a different entity.

The other option, I think Shinobar figured this out awhile ago, is use an older libgnome-menu, as in Barry's builds. But this makes for flatter menus with the exact same default config in /etc/xdg.

The most wanted item for Lucid 5.2 is a lean, full-featured chat client to replace ayttm. This is a hard order.

Another hard item would be a lean, static build of the latest midori, about the same size as the one we are using (to get that size technosurus left out ssl--which I think would be necessary to leave out).

Otherwise the main design goals, from the first thread in this discussion are coming togethernciely.

Edit the file /etc/xdg/menus/puppy-multimedia.menu
-replace all instances of the term MultimediaSub with somethingelseSub Thanks upnorth. That will make it work correctly, as an end-user fix, but if we are lucky maybe it will fix it as built by Woof.

Hey playdayz just downloaded luci 232 to test fluxbox, I booted with pfix=ram and installed that pet I made and shutdown dialog worked OK.
I didn't get any response from steve_s or 01micko so I'll just leave this pet here for others to test

fluxbox-1.1.1-i486-lupu.pet

fbpanel issue is solved if you modify line 155 of /root/.xinitrc like this:

[playdayz]

Yes dejan555, The Exit to Prompt worked--sometimes I change so many things I cause my own problems

I am hoping that perhaps we will find a way for each wm to open by default with a background chosen by the developer, and even icons chosen by the developer. I think that would have more effect than using the same background, etc.

Latest News.

The Woof that was posted today gave an error I have never seen and then the iso wouldn't boot. I'll check tomorrow and then post a luci-233 with the latest Quickpet that mounts sfs's and the latest firstrun dialog with the Num Lock feature. WE have some hellacious developers don't we?

[playdayz]

DeaDBeef. The album art feature in the debian squeeze deb works--but I had to look at help to figure out how.

This is a formidable music player.
