I have a couple of issues right now with archpup.

1. The keymap in the terminal does not use sv-latin1 i use for the DE/X11 even though I have configured consolemap="se".

2. Volume settings in alsamixer is not saved when I reboot.

I will try to find what errors I have done but if you have any ideas then please let me know. Regards.

I've recompiled transmission-2.76 to use Qt for its gui, it now feels even more responsive than with gtk2. Also added SmillaEnlarger http://sourceforge.net/projects/imageenlarger/ graphical tool ( based on Qt ) to resize images.

@jamesbond: I just used same configure options as for package in AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mu/musl/PKGBUILD, Thanks for your suggestion, this package was added as experiment, but probably will return for some future release.
@smil99: Try with http://localhost:631/admin
@stifiling,ickefes: For me sound levels are stored properly on reboot, set PCM and Master on 51, rebooted and thay are saved.

The links to /lib/modules/3.6.8/build and /lib/modules/3.6.8/source are pointing to the wrong places in the dev sfs

Both have to be corrected to /usr/src/linux
before you can compile

Chromium25 sfs from:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=81351&start=8

works

but only if the archapps sfs is loaded as well....brings in some needed libs...

appears in the menu under Applications - Other

If you want to implement the YDRV it is suggested to also use the attached SFS_load patch so your YDRV sfs will not be picked up by sfs_load.

How is this ydrv suppose to work?
Is it that the basic load sfs can only
take a certain amount so the ydrv
add to how many one can load?

Or can it be used to load sfs at boot
that makes the usual sfs load more free
to add needed sfs ?

I am so stupid me fail to get it at all.

Jemimah came up with adrv recently
is that exact same or another similar
that one also can add to ahve both
adrv and ydrv and then later xdrv
and qdrv and I mean what is it you guys are up to? Smile

Hi Sigmarl

Thank you for the new version

I did quickly try it of course in spite of my actual time trouble.

a few question:

a/ how to avoid the question if we want use a save file living ArchPup after the first start (for user don't using a save file, EACH start is a first start and it is a highly disturbing question = time wasting!)? how to dismount definitively this new step doing a remasterisation if you really now want to include this step in your future versions as if user would be completely incapable to go to a menu and do the same the only one time needed to generate this save file (absurd is: to avoid this little difficulty only ONE time for untalented users, users don't using save file have the new question ALL the time!)

b/ I did remaster and because of the new adrv-12.12.sfs, I did concatenate in /archpup/install to make the new archpup-12.12.sfs all the files being in the tree of both /initrd subdirectories. after that, I did make an adrv-12.12.sfs from an empty /archpup/installadr having nothing else other than 4 empty dir (/archpup/installadr/etc, /archpup/installadr/opt, /archpup/installadr/root and /archpup/installadr/usr)

all seems to work properly excepted my added gnu-icecat (as Arch seems don't to support real GNU software Embarassed

: no libre-kernel, no icecat ... sorry!)

icecat starts and crashes now after a few seconds (segmentations error message!)

an idea perhaps?

c/ I will use in the future the adr-nn.nn.sfs to put in my own packages and extensions. is that the expected use of it?

I played around a little with sakura terminal.

I added a couple of alias commands to ~/.config/sakura/sakura.conf

when I source the file it's OK

@Scooby: Use .bashrc to define your aliases, and they should work not just in sakura but in every other terminal emulator.
@oui: There's icecat package available in AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icecat/, maybe it will work better than debian's or other you used. Save file dialog is started from /usr/bin/wmreboot or /usr/bin/wmpoweroff, it's easy to remove if you want to. And adrv.sfs contains openbox, thunar, geany... all graphical applications, so these packages could be easily replaced for instance with pekwm, pcmanfm, leafpad, etc..
To explain this a bit more:
If you want to use pekwm as WM you must remove /etc/profile.d/openbox.sh and add /etc/profile.d/pekwm.sh with this content
export WINDOW_MANAGER=pekwm.
Just removing openbox, without /etc/profile.d/openbox.sh will not work on boot system will be 'trapped' inside infinite loop, trying to execute openbox over and over.
