Hi mick

Any reason why you chosen leafpad over beaver, is it because leafpad uses nls and beaver doesn't? as a basic text editor goes beaver does have a lot of very useful extras that leafpad doesn't have. Its really a lot better than leafpad. but without locales support. It a shame they don't introduce locales to beaver, it could almost replace Geany, heck Geany could go to the devX as defaulttexteditor and beaver could be the main Text editor. Well if you wanted some extra space.

Manual frugal install on the old P3 test box..... sound, internet and screen resolution were all working and correct on initial boot.

Hi all

stripped gnome-player, mplayer and pmusic and pcdplayer out and installed vlc (for quality and it also plays more audio stream types)

stripped out seamonkey and installed icecat (for speed)

running in live mode (with the sfs set up for my liking)

Everything looks great

Cheers

Hi all,

Posting from Seamonkey on beautiful new spup-053. Sound and Internet without a hitch. But after changing wallpaper I wanted to use a different theme. Dialogue theme changed, but menus and "idle" task bar remain dark gray. Probably a newby question, but how do you change them?
Nevermind: So that's one of the things JWM configuration does.
I think I'll leave more exploration for the morrow. To sleep, perchance to dream.

Thanks, and mucho thanks 01micko for spups.

I installed 053 to a flash drive using bootflash in lupu 517.
On first boot network,sound, and screen resolution are good.
I rebooted right away to create a save file.
Next bootup I installed the devx and ran the video upgrade wizard and
installed mesa dri as instructed.

Next I installed the nvidia pet as advised by the video upgrade wizard.

That's it so far, working good.

I did another install of a sort, running in virtual box 4.0 from lupu 515.

edit:
I've been playing with virtual box 4.0 some more Smile

I did a full install of spup 053 to my 8gb virtual hard drive, gave
it 1 gb of ram,128mb video memory and 3D acceleration.I got sound
working too.
I tried to install VLC from the ppm but there were too many
dependencies, I did get VLC 1.06 working though with a pet that I
made in quirky 1.3 and a qt pet as well.

hi all

053 is running great, (thanks mick), have given up on icecat/firefox for the time being as could not save bookmarks to sfs, (but seamonkey will)

current sfs size 121mb (including vlc) and running very quick

anybody have any ideas on quicker loading? (running in ram without save file)

cheers

Hi mick

I spent a good while looking for alternative media players for 431 and can only think of these two

smplayer is quite good but needs quite a few QT libs so its not small.

xfce player (I think thats what its called) is quite good, Jemimah has it in fluppy.

sorry I dont know enough to start stripping vlc

I have a "edinit" file that can open initrd.gz files so will give that a go.

cheers

Hi 01micko

Been meaning to ask this for a while...

Post #1 says the spup kernel is k2.6.33.1 but

HardInfo and DISTRO_SPECS show k2.6.34.1....

Hello

!

This spup-thing inspired me to finally start woofing about Smile

.

So, I've been building a few slacky 13.1 wooflets over the past few days, trying to get the hang of woof (not completely there yet, but eventually ...... Shocked

).

In my latest attempt I wanted to build with FF-3.6.13 (no SM) and, still glancing at the woof-files at brainwavedesigncentral,
there are these lines in Packages-puppy-spup-unofficial
