My wireless works now.
I haven't done much testing yet but everytime that I start Seamonkey
there is a popup saying the it's the first time that Seamonkey has
been started.

I made an htop pet if anyone wants it.

That's it so far.

Billtoo,
That is strange that you get the popup every time that you start SeaMonkey. I have tested that, and it only came up once.

There is a script, /usr/bin/seamonkey, that destroys itself after the first run, replacing itself with a symlink to /usr/lib/seamonkey/seamonkey.

Well, you can probably fix it by forcing a symlink, like this:

This looks promising - time to dig out those SDcards and the Asus 701SD 7“ laptop.

Is it easy to change the setup script / instructions so that 4gig SDcards might be used?
(Will eliminate the shopping trip for 8gig SD cards)

Hope to use one of the faster mirrors for download soon.

Does anyone know of a good guide that explains in simple noob terms - how one goes about booting Q6 or any other puppy when using a W8 crippled laptop with UEFI ?

Have access to one for about a week - then it has to go back.

Thank you BarryK for sharing your quirky idea’s with us - I (we) think they are brilliant - thanks again.

I made most of the pets in the screenshot, not tas or icewm themes,
but they all work in Quirky 6.0 so I could upload them if you'd like
them and give me a pm with instructions on how/where?

I get the Seamonkey popup on this pc too.

Billtoo....At the risk of asking the most stupid question of the year....Will Quirky 6.0 run with your SD card in the "locked" position? I guess "no" is the answer but I can hope...would provide a "kiosk" mode similar to what one can obtain running most pups from a frugal install to SD . Thanks....KJ

Barry K just released a script to install Quirky 6.0 to a regular harddrive
http://bkhome.org/news/?viewCat=Quirky

Full install of Quirky 6.0 on sda11 on an old test desktop using an ext3 partition.Everything working on initial boot.This thing is fast.....

Seems quicker.....boots to a full desktop in about 11 seconds and shuts down in 4 seconds. Measured with the second hand on my watch so totally accurate ......

Ray MK,
At first I did create a 4GB image, but then I went to my local shopping mall and found the minimum size in all the shops is 8GB.

So, I decided that is to be the minimum.

Billtoo,
Your SeaMonkey popup problem has me extremely puzzled.
The script /usr/bin/seamonkey destroys itself, I don't see how it ca fail to do so.
I guess that I will just have to put in some extra code so that it makes sure that it does definitely destroy itself and create the symlink.

Were all of those PETs compiled in Quirky 6.0?

I will setup an FTP url for you to upload them to. Perhaps those definitely compiled in Q6 can be put into 'pet-quirky6' repo, the others, tested as working, could go i a different repo, maybe 'pet-common'.
