I have never got success with the SNS.
Recently tested the ndswrapper with the SNS. Found the SNS does not remove the previous module which fails. Therefore, the PC freezed.

I moved SNS from the usual place. You can run the SNS from the special menu on the connectwizard if you want to use.

How to remix the multilingual Wary for your country?
Basically, install your lang_pack and remaster.

Some note on the files under /etc /root and /usr/share/doc.

/etc/profile ... LANG
/etc/keymap ... keyboard layout
/etc/localtime ... link to the timezone info
/etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc ... part of menu
/root/.jwmrc ... menu
/root/.jwmrc-tray ... part of menu
/root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin ... desktop icons
/root/.jwm/jwm_locale ... keeps current menu language
/root/.packages/woof-installed-package ... should keep the installed lang_pack record
/root/Startup/fullstart ... to be excutable
/usr/share/doc/welcome1stboot ... to be reset excutable bits
/usr/share/doc/home.htm ... shall be copied from /usr/share/doc/help/LANGUAGE_CODE/home.htm

Zigbert has just localised 'pschedule' which would be useful
to include for a distribution like Wary Multilingual.

I've localised mtpaintsnapshot.sh for German French and Spanish.

________________________________________________

I noticed that Fluppy 13 by Jemimah uses the application 'Xarchiver'
which is localised.
Having all these localised programs would be a nice feature.

I localized a simple egg timer project as well.

Testing LIveCD and all functions tested seem fine. Goes to desktop and discovers LAN card and sound cards without issues. Really like the fact that it goes to desktop setup screen and my LIveCD has GRUB4DOS at boot.

I have a question though: Barry's WARY has

Code: Select all

 -Version-
Kernel	Linux 2.6.32.28 (i686)

while your version is

Code: Select all

 -Version-
Kernel	Linux 2.6.31.14 (i686)

Can you share why there is a difference? Just trying to understand.

Thanks in advance

I have updated po-files in /usr/share/doc/nls and added ru-line to two .desktop files.
xgettext wasn't working because I used old save-file with new installation. With new save-file everything works.

The multilingual wary-500m09 RC is based on the wary-500-small, adding many bugfix and updates from the Barry's 5.04RC, except the kernel and initrd.

Barry is going to release Wary Linux 5.1 with the kernel 2.6.32.28 and also with some old kernels.
Our multilingual wary maybe the wary-500m10, with minor update in translations, will be the final release based on the wary-500-small, kernel 2.6.31.14.

Our multilingual wary with various kernels maybe provided after the Barry's Wary Linux 5.1 is finalized.

Posted: **Mon 21 Feb 2011, 00:03**

The Wary Puppy 5.1 final has been released from Barry.

I suppose we are better to change the future release schedule of our Multilingual Wary...
Next release of Multilingual Wary-500m10 to be following up the Barry's 5.1 including the kernel and the initrd.
And the final release to be Wary-510m early in March.

Some concern on the kernel 2.6.31.14: There are 3 different 2.6.31.14 kernel for wary, Wary-500, Wary-500-small and of Wary-510...

Hi Shinobar.
So far so good.
I have few questions how to proceed .
I use bulgarian as locale ,but don't need the language pack to integrate.
Should i answer "cancel" when Puppy asks me to browse to that pack ?
Every time i restart X until i create save file, Puppy insists for that.
My second one is about pppoe-fix .In my country pppoe conections are very popular, but except in LUPQ-511 in all the other versions i had to replace original "pppoe-connect" file with the fixed one in LUPQ-511.
Wouldn't it be better if is integrated by default ?
The last question for now is about remastering .When i remaster CD i copy all from my root and etc folders, but after when i boot from remastered CD always Puppy starts with massage about no correct shutdown.Is that normal,or i am doing something wrong.
When i am asked to have separate .sfs file for drivers is that gonna help for the older machine with less RAM or doesn't matter ?
Thanks in advance and hope not to disturb you so much.
Greetings

Hi shinobar,

yes, in my optinion Multilingual wary should follow Barry's 5.1 with long-term-supported kernel 2.6.32.28.

For me, I'm not happy with its Xorg 7.3 and upgraded to 7.5, maybe this would be good as default?

Tested the new pman position top-left
The input field is larger now, very good

HTML pages in /usr/share/doc/help/<language-code>/xxx.htm are shown

Because I am a little bit lazy in translating I was searching a solution to get localized pages from the web.

The pages from /root/.packages/PKGS_HOMEPAGES are english only, of course. But there is an easy way to show a localized page from the web instead. Tested example:
python will show http://www.python.org/
I have put a file PKGS_HOMEPAGES into /usr/share/locale/de
content

Code: Select all

python http://wiki.python.de/

Try it for your language please.

apply code in /usr/bin/pman line 290

Code: Select all

#w464 search pkg homepages db...
pPATTERN='^'"${NAME}"' '

# search localized homepages db by L18L
HOMESITE="`grep -i "$pPATTERN" /usr/share/locale/${lng2}/PKGS_HOMEPAGES | head -n 1 | cut -f 2 -d ' '`"
[ "$HOMESITE" = "" ] && HOMESITE="`grep -i "$pPATTERN" /root/.packages/PKGS_HOMEPAGES | head -n 1 | cut -f 2 -d ' '`"

if [ "$SECTION" = "" -a "$HOMESITE" != "" ];then

This solution is better than:
redirecting HTML page in /usr/share/doc/help/de/python.htm which was my first solution.

Note: if python_DOC is installed then the english manpage of python will be displayed. Therefore using _DOC.pet is not recommended for NLS users.

feedback welcome
PS: rox-Filer homepage has just french and italian
edited 2011-02-23
/usr/share/doc/help/<language-code>/PKGS_HOMEPAGES also might be a good location for the localized HOMEPAGES

Ah... the Puppy asks 3 or 4 times. It shall be refined.

To be fixed at next release. Thanks for reporting that.

You can copy all the files in /etc and /root, but remove the hidden file '/etc/.XLOADED'.
