Barry,
thanks for the childproofing description, though---

No kids here so don't need childproofing, don't want it,
irrelevant, surplus to requirements.

If you must impose this module upon us, could you please
at least allow options to either not install it with the next SP
or un-install it afterwards.

Thanks.

My opinion:
childproofing - yes, but only as a separate Modulus, with the option to uninstall, just as described in the previous post.
Thanks.

Childproofing is a pretty good idea for those that have kids and want them to have the Puppy experience. It's also good for family members that might not normally use a Linux box. Either way, I'll have fun testing it.

Thanks again, Barry

Greetings slenkar {?spell check}
best good guess? try navigating to /usr/local/apps
if iicon is in that folder? just drag it back to your desktop.
Hope I guessed it right.
GL !
or try /usr/share/ applications and then find browser desktop icon {might be "default browser}.
Then you can drag/copy to your desktop..Once on desktop you can right click on the icon on "edit" the name..such as "do not remove"..-haha

Just been downloading the
/pet_packages-tahr/devx-6.0.5-tahr.pet,
from a couple of sources - ibiblio, uoc, - (partly with a view to test my new ISP service).

grrrr, the hash codes don't match!

Anyone have the kosher hash codes for this?

I download from
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByUDhE3nQF8uUkE3MWhqNjF3dEU&usp=sharing

It's a lot quicker but there's no md5sums.

Here's a tip:

Using viewnior do a 90 degree rotation of

/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/folder24.png
/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/folder48.png

The updating of the icons seems to be done automatically during
overnite maintenance??

The result is seen in image....

.... thanks, folks ....sorry if I am now drifting somewhat OT but, Bill, am I correct in inferring from the Barry quote that the .pet process is self-checking download-wise (assuming that the download is completed fully)?

If so, sheesh! - I never knew that - every day is still a schoolday!
