I got pm for rpm2pet support. I checked Drake Puppy and some threads concerning rpm support.
I am not sure if the asker meant support in dpup, but that is what he got. I tested the rpm in dpup and it looks like to work.
The pet has stuff already in Puppy but also new stuff: rox right click for rpm2pet (lazy man symlink support) and also rox right click for opening rpm in File-Roller. Xarchiver gave error and I didnt find quickly the way to review the error report. I dont know where Xarchiver creates them. Also there is support for Xarchive by wrapper. But that is just it, I dont have Xarchive in Exprimo so I cant test right click support. Petget support should be by woof in recent Puppies but I copied the needed stuff to this pet also....to have more generic pet of this.

EDIT. First version was packaged from some other folder than what I meant and what has all the needed stuff. New try now.

I have compiled musescore-1.1-dpup. It needed some source hacking because I havent included Qt3 support in my Qt4 libs. You can use the essentials pet or the basic complete pet of Qt4.

www.smokey01.com/pemasu/QT-4.8.0-dpup/apps/

And for Qt4: www.smokey01.com/pemasu/QT-4.8.0-dpup/libs/
Essentials or basic suits fine.

I havent tried to compose anything so feedback is welcome and needed.

I just tried the svgcleaner to the gftp-scalable.svg file. The reduction was from 40 k to 8 k. Not bad. Seems to work if there is something to strip in image file.

Dear pemasu,

Your musescore 1.1 works perfectly fine on Lucid with your big QT 4.8. Many thanks.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Not sure if anyone is interested....anyway...I am testing my Qt4 libs.

Dear pemasu,

I just downloaded it and installed. I think the texmaker binary is missing Sad

With kind regards,

My Wlan interface is detected but no networks are seen .Tried all options Frisbee-networkwizards all. No wireless..

Hi !

Problems with wireless above solved !
Not quite sure what did it exactly .
Followed the advise from some user who had the same problems.
His installpartition was ext2 formatted ...he changed to Ext3 .

I had ext 4 changed to ext 3..
But not quite sure if this was the main problem........
what i did .....
booted the fresh on a ext 3 installed dpup 5X12 ...and before stting up wlan i disabled frisbee networkmanager and rebooted .
Now i found my networks. not quite shure which of did the job ...but finally everythings fine.

Nice Distro pemasu Thanks for your hard work .

Hello pemasu !

There is another problem arising for me , just want to report not to complaint about to give you feedback .
It could be possible that i have done something wrong .
installed this dpup to Usb stick .
its working but it doesnot shut down .
When poweroff it starts saving to stick, says it goes down ,but then restart to desktop again .
Have to interrupt power supply to get out .
Going to install fresh .....will report later .... i am tired now .

Bye

@Pemasu

Happy to report stable system on desktop. Boots thru the text localization to FirstRUN GUI. All features in FirstRUN properly sets all localization, as well.

Thanks ever so much for this addition.

I would post Hardinfo, but, there is nothing new or alarming in it at this point.

All is well. And, THANKS again for this contribution.

My first look at Exprimo 5.X.11 and I have some questions.

This puppy doesn't have that blinky thing that shows network activity and where mousing over it reveals data transfer for the current session. How can I run that blinky utility?

This is my first encounter with powersave. How can I set it to max and remove its icon from the tray? I always want max!

Can I remove the firewall icon and the firewall process and still leave the firewall up? Running this process is a waste of clock cycles: 3:50 /usr/local/firewallstate/firewallstate

I'm using a 560MHz PIII so I really don't need redundant processes sapping CPU power! As soon as I discovered how to change powersave from SLOW to TURBO the browser response became delightfully snappy, much better than firefox on SLACKO.
