It would be better to get them from the repo. You need gstreamer and all the gst-plugins-* packages. I may have not entered in the deps correctly. I'll test this type of thing soon.

You can just download directly.

This is the basic process I use for building the adrive.

1. Create a directory and extract all the desired pets inside it like so

Count me in for beta-testing. I'll be using Saluki exclusively. By the way, adrive as an sfs is ingenious. Thanks for the heads up about Saluki, jemimah. I'm very impressed, and a bit excited by Saluki's potential.

I'm using Saluki 9, and have had no problems so far, except my Harry Potter DVD hanged in Xnoise (the only DVD to do so, so it could be the DVD itself). Love Thundar. That was my choice, too. Midori seems to be working good. Is it HTML5 by default? I've never used Frisbee before, but I had no problem figuring out how to connect via encrypted wifi. It was very intuitive.

I'm going to leave your default apps as they are. Testing should be more fruitful that way. I can always modify to my preferences at a later, more stable time.

And thanks again...

By the way, what does the name Saluki represent? If it was covered in an earlier post. I apologize. I certainly don't wan't to waste your time; obviously, you have been incredibly busy. But curiosity is getting the best of me

It is fastest Puppy dog.

Thanks pemasu. That was too easy I feel like an idiot. Oh well...

Not quite sure why fotoxx is crashing . . .
It was working
reinstalled - still getting this . . .
It may be Cairo-dock took something with it when I uninstalled . . .

[jemimah]

I think this version of fottoxx is not so great. It can get screwed up if you try to cancel the little sync process it does at the first run. Perhaps we need to use an older version instead.

It's looking good now, I installed the Nvidia driver for my GeForce 8600 gt card and that made quite a difference, now it seems a lot snappier,
Cairo Dock works nice now, I installed Redshift GUI, that works since I installed the driver, see stu90's post for the download link http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=446119#446119

Installed xvidcap and avidemux these work fine so far with the few test I've done

xvidcap 1.1.7 http://www.4shared.com/account/file/79905636/18b5e501/xvidcap_117_i386.html

avidemux-AIO-2.5.3-i486 http://www.datafilehost.com/download-8f2c76b6.html this is largish, so I extracted it and turned the directory into a sfs, has the option to open with a GTK2 or QT4 gui

Saluki-010 has been released. Happy tenth release everyone!

New in 010:

This is mostly a bugfix release.

I've also done some work on streamlining the PPM. Sfs_load is now integrated into the ppm and rxvt downloads are a thing of the past.

Full installs are hopefully fixed.

I booted up the live 010 dvd and let it update the 009 save file that
was on the hard drive.
