LazY FReD is a tool to download iso, sfs, pet, deb, tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tgz, .gz and zip files from "free repositories" like smokey01.com. The image shows directory of 01micko's lucid files.

First Tab shows already available sfs files at boot directory in the left frame , the middle frame shows sfs files on the server and the right frame shoes pet files on the server.



Second Tab shows iso files in the left frame, archive files in the middle frame and deb files in the right frame.



Third Tab shows some Information on Data and Application.



Fourth Tab shows some quick settings from the preferences gui



You can select multiple files (from each and every category/frame together) and download all of them. All downloaded files are written into log files which are used to let you load all downloaded sfs files using sfs_load, install all downloaded pet files using petget and extract all downloaded archives using pupzip after the LazY FReD is closed.

Best of all:

I have made an update on the AFI Frugal Installer, so you can install all downloaded iso files onto your HD and/or USB Stick, after the LazY FReD is closed. It uses the name of the iso to make the directory for installing it. Also it can be used now as rox right-click application. Do a right-click on an iso file and choose AFI 1.0.2 install iso.

You can choose where to save the downloaded files. You can choose three different locations. One for SFS files, one for ISO files and one for applications and archive files.

For the SFS files you can set also option to save these files to the boot directory instead of a different directory.

All directories can/must be chosen by a file selector gui - nothing is automatically mounted (this is your job - i don't like auto mounting)

If you are starting LazY FReD, it runs first into the preferences to let you choose the directories and some options on which files to be installed automatically after downloading and closing the LazY FReD.



You can select server addresses from a list (in the main gui) and you are allowed to edit and modify this list to create your personal repository for your self made puppy derivative. I have predefined some server addresses at smokey01.com, so you can play with it. Shinobar's address works now - thanks to stu90(91). Zigbert's web address works now as well - thanks again to stu90(91).



You can have multiple lists to load and to use, containing different server addresses.



I have added 175 different server addresses and mirrors that will work right after installing LazY FReD or loading the SFS file of LazY FReD.

LazY FReD 1.0.2 has now LazY ReCo, a new tool (thanks for the xclip tip to seaside), which can save Server-Addresses from clipboard to a selected Server-List.



It should work in every puppy and i hope you'll find this one useful anyhow to use it for your own purposes.

[darkcity]

great idea, there may be some more sites here-
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PuppySites

to search murga forum for pets I think you would need to look at the phpBB database.

Somebody wrote a tool for saving forum topics to a document, but I can't find it now. That script would have some hints, so if someone remembers please post a link

RSH, this is very clever
I always have to search those repos manually and takes much time. Thank you!
I'm looking forward to the internationalized version, non-english-speaking users will love this app.
