Hello,
VERSION 4 Released:
See first post
@Changelog ::
Now run from anywhere.... Cool

Easy GUI .... Cool

More GUI work is needed, but I wanted to release it for the "runanywhere" upgrade...

Edit: Bootsplash Chooser will not work for ver4 yet, must rewrite "pickme" files...Old "splash" tarball not designed for ver 4

For version 5::
Fix Bootsplash Chooser
Reset button...
Appdir script for "1 Click" execution..
( I have to rewrite the readme.)

Future golas:
Automated "alien" Distro support...
(Already partially completed..)
Bootsplash builder
I seem to be on a 24 hr update cycle....
Jay..

Hello,
Version 6 Final

Well, a little cleanup, a better readme, and I think we are good to go...
So version 6 is it....
Any last requests / suggestions???
Is a script to detect that you are in a Linux partition needed???

I am looking at doing a multi-distro one, but that would be separate from this, and will take a good while....

Hi puppyluvr,

Version 5 is brilliant and I'm looking forward to your final version.

It took me some time to realize that I could backspace and change the "puppy pfix=..." settings - Perhaps that might be referenced in to the F1 help menu? It might also be useful to explain a few common requirements in the examples?

I assume it is now possible to make and run only a single copy; because the splash screens are stunning - even non-multi-users might appreciate that.

I also assume that the pets are installed separately to each Puppy version as may be desired, but the sfs files can be used from the inbuilt sfs directory?

There might be all sorts of clever ways to use this - e.g. for families on holiday.

Anyway, it's worth repeating that it's brilliant and it's gotten more and more user friendly with each new version. Great idea, great artwork and execution - surely a major winner.

My thanks and regards (to CD as well)

Added:

At the moment I'm using "puppy pfix=copy" and I wonder if there is a way to set that globally or for each puppy. Also is "pfix=copy" sufficient or is the full "puppy pfix=copy" necessary?

Hello,
Version 6 released

@Changelog:

Program now alerts you and halts if run from a non ext2/ext3 filesystem..

Added Install button.. which makes a customized PET to install MultiPup , which will create a menu entry under Utility, and registers MultiPupPet with the PPM, for easy uninstall...See the first post....

There might be a version 7.. Wink

Heavy testing please...

Anything else????

Hello,
@Sir Jasper , the pets can be accessed, as can the sfs files...
However, in order to mount the sfs`s, I think Puppy needs them to be in /mnt/home to see them, and after a reboot...

Thanks to all for the help and feedback,
vanchutr , npierce , and especially CatDude for the excellent Bootsplash Chooser....

@ Max Headroom: if it doesn't appeal to the sheep, maybe CatDude can tart it up a bit if you can't do it yourself Wink
