playdayz, you should replace lzma-tools with xz-utils and take a look at the libraries - many libraries are there for nothing.
Also - some libraries also have command-line utilities or "something-common" packages that are distributed with them - in some cases, those are not needed and they waste precious space. libsndfile and flac are examples.
Oh, and one last thing - have you tried to strip the kernel modules? I stripped a 2.6.35.9 and its size went down by ~5 MB. Now the kernel PET is 19 MB, tiny. I used "--strip-debug" because "--strip-all" causes scary warnings when the kernel boots.

Could you try that and see if it works for you? You may have to choose Remove and reboot to get a fresh start. Thank you.240: another National Language issue.
At the configuration of my locale, nl_BE, I ticked the UTF button as recommended.
But when I had installed CPUtemp I got a wrong display (see pic)
Being in OpenBox, I don't have the little sun in the tray.
So if I understand well I run the freq scaling, I uninstall CPUtemp and reboot.
While setting up fres scaling, I got a warning that my bios was too old, but I could continue.

Yes, but my impression was that he could connect but not with the level of encryption he preferred.cthisbear, We added it and it seemed there were conflicts. Is it that hard to download from Puppy Package Manager?
Downloading it from PPM kind of assumes that you have a working internet connection from wherever your PC is located. If your wireless connection needs Pwireless to work.

So freq scaling is active now, but I still have the wrong display for the temp when UTF is ticked and a message when UTF is not ticked.Béèm wrote:It is rcrsn51's pet.playdayz wrote:My fault Béèm, I think.

I see, Beem. It is not the freq scaling program but the one that reads temperatures. Shinobar has asked for comment about whether UTF-8 by default is a good idea or not.So freq scaling is active now, but I still have the wrong display for the temp when UTF is ticked and a message when UTF is not ticked.

I have collected all of the pet packages ttuuxxx has created for Lucid and now I am stuck. How can I combine all of those pets into one folder to make into an sfs. I need to take the /usr/, /bin, and so forth folders out of the pet and combine them all into single /usr, /bin. etc. folders. Like making one giant pet out of them. I can see how to do it one by one.
So maybe a different way to read the temps? What does Menu -> System -> hardinfo show under Sensors? I get nothing unfortunately, but some people get resutls.rcrsn51 wrote:I suspect that Beem's problem with CPUtemp comes from xmessage, which produces the pop-up window. It may not be able to deal with locale issues.
ttuuxxx, You made that Ogle look good enough and small enough that it would be possible to include in the iso. *Except* the full screen does not work in Openbox. It does work in jwm--my guess is because they both use some older method. Is there any chance you can get the full screen to work in Openbox? Or maybe someone knows what I am doing wrong.

If it is as rcrsn51 suspects and if puppy's are made from the same woof, the problem could be in other puppy's as well.playdayz wrote:So maybe a different way to read the temps?

I tested squeeze 009 and have the same issue.
I tested fluppy 8 and I don't have the issue, neither in UTF nor in no-UTF.
I tried HW info sensors and in both cases the display is correct

I have been suggesting personalised sfs files for some time so I think it's a good idea too.playdayz wrote:I have collected all of the pet packages ttuuxxx has created for Lucid and now I am stuck.

I know puppy comes the the mksquashfs and dir2sfs scripts but I have not been successful using them to create a sfs.
What I tried was, rename package.pet to package.pet.tar.gz then extract the file to /mnt/home/working, then while in the working type dir2pet name-001 and a sfs file name-001.sfs should be created. I also assumed that you could extract many pets to the working directory before you applied the dir2sfs script.
Maybe some one can explain the error of my ways.
Thanks
Do it the easy way... use petmakerplus http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=290171smokey01 wrote:I have been suggesting personalised sfs files for some time so I think it's a good idea too.playdayz wrote:I have collected all of the pet packages ttuuxxx has created for Lucid and now I am stuck.

It has an sfs option. Select it from the tabs.
I have a huge 8.2mb sfs that totally customises Puppy for me, but I also have a .pet which does the same but works better. Forget why... think it was something to do with links.

SFS making. Here's what I do.
I create the potential sfs in a folder the same as in making a pet--in fact it often is the pet. Then,
At the end is -noI (the capital ninth letter of the alphabet). It disables compression of the inodes--which fixed a problem that prevented a jre sfs from working.

Odd. I didnt do that and got a nice jre sfs working. Huh..... beginners luckplaydayz wrote:SFS making. Here's what I do.

I was getting one that would work on my machine--sometimes--depending which directories I put the java stuff in. But other times, the contents of directories would disappear. At least the -noI is a possible option to keep in mind.Odd. I didnt do that and got a nice jre sfs working. Huh..... beginners luck
@Beem: Try this:
1. Locate the hidden file /root/.XResources
2. Add the line
3. Restart X.

Code: Select all
xmessage*international:true
Possibility.
The issues with jwm that caused Openbox to be default have been worked away. Shinobar's firstrun wizard deals with one of them (not relocating panel when changing screen resolution).
Stellarium not running properly full screen seems to be fixed in 493.
OpenOffice Impress seems to be OK in 493.
The last problem is that the widget at the lower right of gnome-mplayer does not cause full-screen (unless you click it 3 times!)--I have a gnome-mplayer that I removed that widget from, and there are still 2 other ways to cause full screen.

As well in UTF as in no-UTF the display is correct now, altho the font has changed, but that's not a big deal.
But I still have those messages when executed through a console.

A pity that this code isn't by default in the .XResources file.
I keep having the impression, that National Language Support is the poor guy in puppy.
