Thanks for the advise of JAva. I installed it.

It would be great if someone told me what is this SCSI version? Whats the difference? And, also this ++ version...

Thanks

Edited: This post pertains to a JRE PET for SLACKO. Needed for Live media SLACKO users.

JRE was a problem months ago with Puppy 5.25+. @Pemasu provided a solution in the form of a PET which worked fine. I was able to use it on the Live CD, it worked without rebooting, and upon save-session, it carried over without issue(s).

I noticed that under SlickPET>More PETs>Java we are taken to a webpage. But I do NOT see the @Pemasu version available. Should it be available? Does it work in SLACKO?

Thanks in advance.

Can I install the latest Openshot?
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/openshot

If you update the puppy package manager
by clicking on 'configure' (que?)
new packages will be available
for example xfce which you run by pressing
ctrl + alt + backspace
and typing xwin startxfce4

Well it works but it is too geeky to make sense
Now I need python - used devx (not yet available from Slickpet)
so used the first post in this thread link

Now to add this Ubuntu Openshot 1.4 deb . . .
http://www.openshot.org/download/
. . . Wait a minute that would work on Lucid but we need the compiled Openshot code (not yet available)

Oh Buddha

Hi all, sorry for the confusion in first post, I was on a very tight schedule, thanks for the first few posts which generally got things sorted.

Links are fixed now.

As said., I'll be away from home for awhile. I will be popping in from time to time.

I am posting fom my new(old) laptop and a new huawei-E169K 3G modem through Virgin Broadband Au.. it was a cinch to set up using the new look pupdial.

Cheers

I pimped an old package of GNU Octave with the necessary libraries and this works in slacko RC.

Hi Charlie,
Stripes vlc is in PPM as vlc_standalone, just renamed, that's all ..works fine for me. Strange your siliconmotions issue still as the pet I made for you and Indian is included.

Emil, (and others) thanks for abundance of packages. I have mentioned this before but you may have missed but the danger of including necessary libs is that you could uninstall that package and some unrelated package that you installed may suffer because it may have depended on those libs. The solution is to package with the dependencies referenced in the dependencies field of the pet.specs (provided it exists in slacko, slackware, salix or slacky repo.)
If not then deps can be packaged in a non standard library directory which is in puppy's LD_LIBRARY_PATH. These include /usr/local/lib or /root/my-applications/lib. Or of course, and I'm sure you know this, adjust the lib path as necessary at runtime of the app. The exceptions are QT4 apps which in the standard qt-everywhere package I compiled reside in /opt. So if your apps are QT then /usr/lib is ok. Please ignore this warning as necessary

Anybody who has tried coolpup's java 1.7: working ok? If so I'll repackage and place in PPM. I don't have the bandwidth ATM.

tubeguy, and others with SIOCSIFFLAGS errors.. this is usually missing firmware (afaik). Just see if you can find out which firmware it is from Lupu or Dpup, it may slot right in and solve those issue. Anyone with other ideas?

lobster... after work in the evening tomorrow I shall be hunting red claw

Thanks everyone
