I am having a few problems with Python / Pygame. It was working fine, but then the next time I booted up nothing worked.
I've re-compiled it all and about to try again.

Also I am hoping to compile build mupdf (a fast pdf viewer).

I've been running the RPi through a nice 1080p tv this morning. It looks good.

EDIT
Here's a screen-shot: viewing "PracticalCommonLisp.pdf" with mupdf while I have a little play with hello-world in CommonLisp.

fun!

Thanks Don. I'll have a go if mupdf doesn't satisfy me!

Check out my ftp site if you want to have a play with:

Is anyone planning or is looking at gtkdialog C source code?
Any tips?

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=629684#629684

There is a problem - the 'pull down' menu appears at the base of the program . . .
I will be looking at the code this weekend with Shadow . . .
actually he will be looking at the code and I will be making tea . . .

No promises. Will do what we can . . . Smile

Barry is working from Gentoo to bootstrap from Cool

Thought it would be nice to have a Life program on the Pi.
I've uploaded the binaries here.

Image of Sap6 Puppi from BarryK

I have changed the icons and JWM theme. Otherwise this is pretty much what boots to the Raspberry Pi powered desktop . . .
USB recognition and many other things awaiting debugging.

Sadly me and Shadow were unable to fix gtkdialog Embarassed

gosh long time since I used the links browser . . .
Anyway it is working and I am posting from Sap6. The keyboard arrow keys are not working, (something I also noticed in Abiword). So am using the mouse to position the cursor . . .
You also get Geany and leafpad text editors - so that and Rox and a terminal and already feels at home. I may have to change the background image. Oh it may be childish but it makes me feel at home . . . come to think of it I am using a primitive Puppy with a Puppy menu and some of the Puppy programs running on ARM.

possibly a long shot for a working browser
http://puppylinux.info/topic/create-portable-linux-applications-easy-with-cde , guess try the skype there and see first?

then there is also portable opera?

edit : perhaps not, " After receiving the package, the user can
now run those same commands from within
the package on any modern x86-Linux
distro. "

OK had a go with the devx SFS but it crashed out at 40MB download and I am told I have no more room on my 4GB SD card.

Will delete file and see if I still have a working SD image . . .

what is the performance like? as far as speed goes?
