Midori 0.3.2

There are four files for Midori 0.3.2 to run correctly in Fluppy 013.
They are now located at:
http://kd4e.com/files/midori/
Can someone let Smokey know so that he may copy them to his Fluppy 013 repository?
I am not sure how long they will remain available where I have placed them.

best version of Fluppy

I just bought an old IBM M52 Thinkcentre computer
and I discovered that it has an Intel integrated graphics chip.
I found it very difficult to boot up with Puppy.
I found an old CD with Puppy3 would boot it
and the most recent version of Racy 5.2.2 would at least boot
it from the CD, but I found lots of buggy behaviour.
So far the best Puppies that I have found to use with
this computer are Lighthouse 5.03 and Fluppy012
(but NOT Fluppy013 !!! which wouldn't boot at all)
Fortunately Fluppy012 is still available

Pwidgets 2.4

No answer in the Pwidgets thread....can anyone shed some light on this?
When I install pwidgets in Fluppy13 I can not access the program from the icon in the desktop area. Entering pwidgets from the command line gives me:
/usr/local/pwidgets/pwidgets: line 26: type: gtkdialog4: not found
/usr/local/pwidgets/pwidgets: line 209: gtkdialog: command not found
When I remove pwidigts 2.40 I see this:
pwidgits 2.38
Thanks

Fluppy has gtkdialog3, not gtkdialog4
I haven't tested gtkdialog4 myself,
but there is a thread by Barry Kauler to install
gtkdialog4. ... but that probably won't be enough to install pwidgets
.

If you need a fancy clock, you should read the following thread
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 46&t=73441
_____________________________________________________
I made a crude transparent floating clock but it only works with some
window managers. For instance with JWM it's not transparent.
Instructions: You must set it by right clicking it
and floating it above the other windows.
If there isn't a menu entry then type 'oclock' in console.

Sorry to bring this back up (I know it's an old thread) but how does one enable the desktop interface in screen2.jpg of the original post? The one with what appears to be a tab-bar interface on the left side of the screen?
That looks really cool and I have an idea for that...

I think that's Favourites?

Favorites
I'm confused.

screen2 on p1 which you asked about shows Fluppy menu, with Favourites folder open, I believe...what are you confused about?
Have you tried Fluppy?
Jemimah, the developer created a favourites file similar to that other OS's favourites folder, OK?

I've used Fluppy -- it's great stuff. I thought that was a different WM/DE/UI/whatever that had navigation by the tabs on the side. I guess I was just confused
What? I like the xPUD-style layout... (xPUD[dot]org
)

@starhawk, try Menu>System>Control Panel>Desktop>Change Desktop Environment>Netbook Launcher;
to get what jemimah was illustrating in screen2. I'm not sure whether it makes much additional difference changing the Windows Manager (Flwm, Icewm and OpenBox included as standard) - but certainly plenty of options are there to play with. Absolutely fangs on my '99 vintage Portege 3480ct with 196Mb RAM, but a new 7200rpm 160GB HD certainly helps.

I'll take a look in a little bit.
BTW, I wish you were in the States -- I've been looking for a Portege of that model or similar, and I can't find one here. Unfortunately, shipping from Australia is likely to be a little outside my price range (I also suspect that you wouldn't want to part with it, either!).

you don't know how many people have seen it working with Puppy and made me an offer for it, on the spot!
No, I'm afraid it's now something of a family heirloom, as it was my stepmums business machine and went around the world twice with her, back in the day. Ironically for you- it was custom-built in Canada! Semi-ruggardised, magnesium alloy case etc etc it literally cost only AU$15 for the cards to enable wifi and USB2+firewire. (A little cumbersome, but portable steampunk is the new black, apparently.) It also has proved useful as an emergency entertainment system for the kids. Jemimah's careful selection of non-violent, puzzle-type games in Fluppy is especially appreciated (by us parents)!
I really should get around to you-tubing it - gotta install Catdude's graphical boot to really show it off with bootup times etc. Broad mix of puplets to showcase Puppy Linux/Windows managers... At the moment, it runs MIJINpup511, ZenPup5 (an early dpup - I think it was cagwait's project), TEENpup2010mini, MacPup520, QuirkNOP-120, Simplicity10:10 (based on stu90's 5x D-lite), and of course, Fluppy 013. You can bet I'll be trying to shoe-horn Saluki into it!
EDIT: Breaks my heart

If I was to replace it though, I'd probably go with a used Toughbook or an Opentec 'Openfire' or industrial-grade RPC (Australian manufacturer). The latter is now an obsession for me since I squeeked out of winning an auction for 2 together for less than $160

I stumbled across a way to get fluppy 013 to run on my
IBM thinkcenter M52 computer which has an intel graphics chip.
I previously reported that Fluppy 012 will work on this model but
Fluppy 013 won't.
By accident I booted up the computer with a CD with
Fluppy 013 burnt on it. To my amazement it worked!!
The reason is simple. I had previously installed Fluppy 012
on the computer so a pupsave file was available for Fluppy 013
to find. This pupsave file has the 'intel' driver inside it.
It took a couple of minutes to load the pupsave file
because it has installed applications in it,
but it was successful and that's what counts.
