Tman. Thanks of your comments. I will re-evaluate your work. The source is just that the iron-linux preferences will be read straight away and you can launch iron from console by...iron because the /opt/iron path has been included to the path.
James C. Did you test getflash menu entry: menu > internet > getflash. It pings now numerical address.

Tried it. Download appeared to start..... for about 2 seconds ...... then the dialog box said that flash was installed and to restart the browser.Wasn't long enough to download flash though. Not a big deal to me, I always keep the latest flash in a spare partition and just copy it into place.

I remember you have had problems with flash downloading earlier. I really dont know then..what is the real problem with your connection. Maybe state regulations, lol.

Okay. First problem is that you cant ping alphabetical adresses. That I knew already. The second problem is that the numerical ip address (which I changed to use) does not respond to the ping anymore. ( when I tested the ping address in getflash script.
So...There is not easy solution for you. It looks like I have to change to use alphabetical addresses for ping or start to use those dns servers addresses like 8.8.8.8
James C. You could change the numerical ip address in getflash script to 8.8.8.8 and test again if you are adventurous.

no gnumeric ? The PPM doesn't install libgoffice, so that also needs to be installed separately. The user has to figure what the arcane descriptions are in the PPM regarding which version to install (common vs runtime files ??). Then the user is told they need to load other packages...some with "gnumeric" in the name. I didn't bother, and gnumeric appears to be working.
Not good....
Time for some remastering....lets see, gnumeric or zathura?
edit: can you believe that my "defaultbrowser" was changed to "iron" ?

I guess, my earlier post didn't go through.
Iron-16-debian is re-uploaded.
I made a bugfix and changed the settings-folder to /root/.config/iron the way you like it.
/usr/bin/iron_setup acts like a pinstall script which allows the sfs to set the defaultbrowser and do some house-cleaning during the first run.

I do have two gnumeric-goffice-abiword sfs in repo. Nothing can be easier. I do use Libreoffice for spreadsheets and writing. Libreoffice just works much better for me. I just had too much weird phenomens with abiword that I dropped it out. Gnumeric is ok, that is why I used time and created those sfs apps. I also packaged goffice-abiword-gnumeric in separate pets ready.
Well....that was my choice about those apps.
