I just compiled samba

samba_full-3.6.3-s.pet

It includes Samba Simple Setup gui with shinobar's bugfix for hostname. I have done very limited testing, haven't tested printing yet.

Also, if you have a custom smb.conf the setup gui detects that and offers a way out before it starts.

The compile is slightly different, swat and private are in different locations, no big deal. It is the complete package with all binaries and libraries stripped, still only ~32M in size.

Hi 01micko, seaside, technosaurus
and, for now, especially Puppy experts

Below is an excerpt from a thread from technosaurus. Any Puppy amateurs, like myself, should make a backup if they decide to try this small change of code.

Firstly. at least for now, my understanding is that it only works with JWM where it has a speed improve improvement over "fixmenus" of some fifteenfold.

This means that, even on my 1998 desktop (then high performing and still a pleasure to use even without a hard disk) I can load multiple (up to 7 in my case) sfs files and refresh the menus in a few seconds.

However, the screenshot below shows I currently get some additional Drive Icons which overlay my existing icons.

where his opening sentence reads
"SFSdirload-standalone-0.3 allows you to arrange your SFS files in directories and load each directories' sfs files all at once."

The change as in the screenshot is to
/root/.etc/rc.d/init.d/SFSdirload
but there alternative additions shown in the code below.

"Forget about deciding whether to yaf-splash or gtkdialog-splash while creating jwm menus when it happens in <0.2 seconds _AND_ supports subcategory menus using only basic shell commands (no other requirements)

Hi 01micko,

The Drive Icon screenshot in my post immediately above was taken using Slacko 5.3.1 Main which is the only program I use apart from testing (and occasionally printing "Slacko data" from W98SE).

I have huge faith in your abilities which is why I added in the screenshot - "perhaps it is already fixed in the latest Slacko" so thank you for your most helpful explanation - where I'm pleased to read the Drive Icon quirk is resolved with a choice of displays.

I remain totally delighted with 5.3.1 - I just wanted to report on my effort to load many large sfs files and update the JWM menu in a few seconds.

My regards

PS I was also pleased to hear you're ahead with your college work.

Hi again,

My wife and I will be rather busy with three upcoming birthdays this month of younger family members - two 65ths and a 40th.

As I recall it was Lobster, stu90 and me who expressed the greatest interest in Linux Portable Apps. Recently stu90 kindly explained to me how he can make them - and I was going to forward his PMs to Lobster to see if I could be of any help in making some.

However, since multiple sfs files may be available with updated menus in a few seconds and as they are easily made from pets there seems little point in making Portable Apps.

My regards

PS I hope to find some time to test any new Main versions of Slacko.

I wanted to automate libreoffice>Tools>Options>Memory>Enable systray Quickstarter (just from interest and because I like to minimise numbers of keystrokes and mouse movements).

After instalingl a version of the xdotool pet the following works:

At this point you can make a choice of which drive icons you prefer to keep.

The "new" ones are a feature of techno's jwm_tools and in Slacko they are turned off by default. If you want to keep those ones I'm sure you know how to run desksetup to remove drive icons (and in distros without desksetup run event manager).



To remove those drive icons, which are simply an extra jwm-tray, there is a configuration file ~/.jwm/JWMRC. Near the top of that file you will likely have DRIVES="1". Change that to DRIVES="", restart jwm and they will disappear. There is a YAD gui for configuration, but it is still a little buggy so there is no menu entry.

There is also a setting for submenus in that file, maybe you are aware?

HTH
