**** Please check all of the first 3 posts for different SwitchPup styles****
They allow a user to control all functions by using only a single switch (eg a chin operated switch etc), and this switch is currently required to be connected onto the Pause/Break key on the keyboard as requested by forum member standard7452 here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84617 (also there are other good alternative suggestions being discussed there and there will no doubt be better-constructed isos than mine )

Radar versions :
****** New version *******
September 2 2013
This version is based on Pemasu's Upup-raring3.9.9.2 which is a good match for all my hardware.
(It is functionally very similar to the previous Precise version but also includes an Abiword version that can write docx). It may also have improved booting on some machines.
- Includes "DragWindow" functionality for greater useability.

these Radar_firstrun puppies are configured to allow Radar to start earlier during the boot process so that the disabled user can interact with the firstrun setup screen to choose different keyboard or language etc. It also includes SFR's Keyhunter script which automatically sets up the correct "event" and "keycode" number for the keyswitch that is being used. This means that the system can be used without having to be set up manually by someone else first and means that it is easy to use a simple pluggable usb version of the keyboard mod if trialling switchpup on a variety of systems.
I prefer to make these isos "RAM only" versions so that you can test them safely without them grabbing any pre-existing savefiles. You can create a savefile at shutdown time if you wish to install permanently.

- Solved bug with Abiword not opening a file when icon clicked.
- Repositioned desktop icons to allow better navbar geometry.
- Included "DragWindow" function (allows you to grab the window anywhere - much easier than trying to grab the title bar)
- Screenlock icon no longer a problem (per Ted Dog request).
- Tap-to-click disabled to avoid accidental mouse jumps.
- pupdesk.flg disabled to improve booting.
- welcome splash moved upwards to minimise clash with initial keyhunter dialog.

This version uses SFR's radar1b, which includes the gui for changing radar parameters if required. I have positioned radar to allow a clear space for vertical scrollbars, and xfce window controls keep the windows in useful places.
It starts up with leafpad open so the user can start typing a message immediately, and if desired the user can use the radar menu to select xvkbd mode to "scan" across the xvkbd keyboard for faster typing.
The Opera font pet is in /root (just doubleclick it) for users who want to improve the readability of the inbuilt Opera. (which comes set up with flashblock and also works ok with youtube)
Radar gui is in /usr/local/apps/radar1bmod (look for radar-config). If you want to use the zoom slider at the bottom right of opera it is worth using the radar gui to move the radar screen to bottom centre so it doesn't overlap the zoomer.

SwitchPup_radar0.8
My first version is based on RacyNOP532 and includes radar 0.8
It has basic functionality and is aimed at being a "sampler" so that end users can easily get to grips with the way a "one-switch" pup operates. It will not be everyones cup of tea as it uses XFCE and has had major browsers and word processing stripped out of it - allowing the user to select their preferred versions from elsewhere.
It does have Opera - but I have not yet added the font improvements that will enhance readability. I would recommend SeaMonkey.
