mkfigos 1.3: combines librepup with refracta

[learnhow2code]

I tried making the other scripts too but the refracta ISOs have been removed

wow thats too bad-- i didnt know fsr was removing the old ones.

thanks to you, if i want to build based on refracta rc1 when fsr deletes the refracta rc1 iso, i can just use fig os 1.0 as a source iso

i love the archive, and i love what youre doing with it-- we are all extremely lucky to have you on our teams.

thanks, it's been quite a slog, just checked the first upload, it was just over 3 years ago!

I keep finding builds to add, have started collecting pets from the forum so they will go up at some point, I need to concentrate more on pet repositories now

keep 'em coming.....

are you interested in mirroring refracta?

it seems to come out every 2-4 months (in 32 and 64 bit) and i suspect that will slow down as it matures. its the ONLY debian-based distro (other than puppy itself) that made me think "hey, this is sort of the kind of fun i had when i was in love with puppy."

true story. that, and meeting iguleder (outside of puppy land) convinced me to try out puppy again, at least to find out how its going over here. a lots improved-- and a lot of good stuff hasnt changed imo.

something to consider. as the refracta dev is one of those "quality guys" (perfectionists) that seems to only like when his favorites stay up (this is all pure speculation on my part, despite the fact that he and i talk) ive asked him what he thinks about a mirror on the archive-- youre free to mirror it obviously, but its nice to know if hes on board too.

i will get back to you on what he says, and if youre interested / still interested youll have the option of being the person that keeps older versions of refracta archived-- i think its THE best distro since puppy, imo. the best of devuan-- for my own uses. if i were a pi guy or had a cubieboard id probably have to go with straight devuan.

gathering files. they'll go here: http://archive.org/details/Refracta_Linux

[learnhow2code]

1.1:
* added mtpaint, pcmanfm, syslinux-utils, md5deep to refracta mode
* added pcmanfm to puppy mode... this looks like it may have done something to desktop icons, sorry
* now includes own file-editing routine
* now runs isohybrid on output iso so you only need dd to write iso to usb

[learnhow2code]

1.2:
* moved refracta url to archive.org
* faster download of librepup iso (different url, still archive.org)
* added gtkdialog to refracta mode
* updated fig url (it was renamed in the refracta ibiblio folder)
* petget now works in both puppy and refracta mode (refracta mode pupget is experimental)

[learnhow2code]

1.3:
* pcmanfm desktop added to refracta mode (desktop icons/folders run/open as root)
* pcmanfm desktop replaces rox desktop
* desktop icons fixed; gdk-pixbuf needed adjustment
* gdk-pixbuf updated for both modes from security.debian.org
