Hi. If I make frugall, on restart ask me for some files, so I make full.

OK I will make frugal, and not restart after that, and be back for instructions what next.

So for frugal I need one parittion or more ?

thank you.

In most other linux you need a partition.
In full install of puppy you need a partition.

In frugal puppy you do not need a partition of its own.

You use Puppy Universal Installer?

There is question : full or frugal (... and frugal is recommended!)

So use just your single partition /dev/sda1 that you already have.

Yes I use universal Installer.

Repeat your last try but use frugal.
It is your computer and you have/want nothing else than puppy.

I have to say good bye for today.
Good luck

Hi. Now I done that all. and find devx.sfs file, load that file on the fly and now show me this window (select)

On before attempts I select Glade and than start some instalation and after that I can get that momanager. so I not chose nothing in this stage (stay open) and open mo manager and work.

what parts I must edited ?

edit: so what I wont change select on right side and than click create and will show me in left side, and than edit to make shanges ? Is that ok. or wrong ?

thx.

Do nothing or Quit has the same result.
devx_precise_5.7.1.sfs will automatically be loaded next time.

I see on the image that you have the official MoManager.
Install from http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... &start=111 again please.

Then let us start with menu entries without a sl translation
You choose one and click create.
Your editor will open and type in your translation,
Let the first word unchanged because it will serve in the help system,
save and quit the editor.

After a very short time (in official momanager it is a long time)
this entry is at the left side
and you will see it in the menu!

You can re-edit it choosing from left side.

UFF I work till now, but is slow, for each part will take app 2-3 minutes I make basic menu in slovenian lang, but other I will make nest weekend on virtual machine.

Where I can get that faster momanager ?

Thankyou for support.

You need a break I think

georg1 · #32 Post by **georg1** » Sun 06 Oct 2013, 17:03

hahaha yes I need, but basic menu entries and app half of menu categoris in slovenian, but will make all, because this is super distro, and recommend this all of my friends

so because of that I must make that translation, few of them just start to use puppy for web-surfing.

thanks for that momanager link and all patience too

I am very glad that you like it and want to do it.

But be prepared it is a lot of more work which can be done only if you like what you are doing!

Translation of labels of desktop icons (ex: file write browse...):
SSS domains without a sl translation
select desk_strings and click create

Explanation is inside the file desk_strings_sl which will automatically be opened in text editor.

Translation of menu (Ex: Shutdown reboot....):
SSS domains without a sl translation
select menu_strings and click create

Explanation is inside the file menu_strings_sl which will automatically be opened in text editor.

I suggest to NOT translate the word "Help" for now because you do not have any help in slovenian language now

If all that is done then create a langpack_sl PET and post it here please.
No better would be:
create a new thread in Localization Project and post it there
where you can get get continously help and maybe other Slovenians will find and help translating.

Have fun

Hi. yes I know is a lot of work, that menu is allmost nothing if compare what I left not translated

But will do that, just must somehow convinced my virtual box to work with puppy precise iso.

When boot on VBox it stuck on "make filesistem usable..." and there stuck hours if i left

precise 5.7.1 has linux kernel 3.9.11

Why virtualbox?
What are the specs (RAM, speed) of your computer?

georg1 · #36 Post by **georg1** » Mon 07 Oct 2013, 17:18

because I must left my comp like it is, a lot of licensed software is there and OS is win.

I got 4 BG ram, processor is C2duo 2.2 ghz

I normal run a lot of distros on Virtual box, and allways work.

Virtual box I need becasue I may make system imageshot, and later continue from last stage (not try yet)

and because when I restart linux after make that momanager translate, if Im not wrong, inpossible to start momanager again ?

Thank you.

That is more than enough for puppy.

Howt run puppy without virtualbox and change nothing in win?

Boot from CD
at shutdown you will be asked where to save
choose file in your win partition (it will be just one file named precisesave.2fs inside your win)
Copy devx_precise_5.7.1.sfs into that directory
Copy the created langpack_sl.pet into that directory (you can install this in other puppies)

This will work like frugal installation, always boot from CD.
You can restart momanager whenever you need it....

Hope that helps
Just try.....

edit
Or.......are you allowed to boot from USB?
Take a stick and install precise there so you will be totally independant from win (just a thought)

georg1 · #38 Post by **georg1** » Mon 07 Oct 2013, 18:04

Is possible to make that translate on USB boot ?

mean, if is possible run momanager ? more than one time ?

georg1 · #39 Post by **georg1** » Mon 07 Oct 2013, 18:30

Ha I make install on USB, madona is fast even faster like from HDD

I try that faster momanager, and work with speed of light. Now I can really start translate like PRO haha.

Thank you for that tip again
