It's a Rocket.
Thanks

Keep on Rocking!

Hello omskates , Good to see you. I hope the rest of the regulars take this one for a spin.

In a few days i will post a how to for engage. Its an updated version of itask-ng. It's included in the extra-mods .pet.

Day 2 was a good!!!

Congratulations, runtt!

Day 3 is even better for you...

Looking very good so far.Thank you runtt21.

One thing.
I've so far been unable to get vlc player to run.Used version 1.1.10 from Quickpet?

*Edit
Same with Songbird also.

I did a frugal install of macpup525 by mounting the iso and copying
the files to a macpup525 folder then running grub4dos + editing the
macpup525 entry in the menu.lst file to pfix=nox,ram
Rebooting in macpup and choosing vesa 1024x768 + xwin then changing
the timezone and restart x.
Then ctrl-alt-backspace + reboot and create savefile in the process.
Rebooted into another pup and edited the macpup entry to pfix=fsck
Reboot again into macpup and loaded devx + kernel source sfs then
downloaded the xorg_high driver in quickpet.
Another reboot and then ctrl-alt-backspace to get to the prompt.
Installed the ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run proprietary
driver and entered aticonfig --initial and then xwin to get back to
the desktop.

Yeah I tried running vlc from a terminal earlier and it didn't say anything.
I then installed vlc 1.1.7 and that seems to work ok.
If I run Songbird from a terminal I get nothing.

I'll look into it later brown mouse but I am no expert on song bird or vlc, I have heard that newer builds of vlc wont run as root.Could be that.....

Soon the wood-7 theme.

I downloaded songbird directly from ibiblio ( not quickpet) cause I wanted to test it in lucid and macpup. I used 1.9.3 . It installed and loaded.I haven't rebooted yet..... But it came up... Did you try to install the first angelic theme .pet before you tried these?

Hi runtt21

No I had not tried angelic theme prior to installing vlc/Songbird.
Anyway,I also downloaded the Songbird .pet 1.9.3 from Ibiblio and it works fine now.Must be some kind of problems using quickpet?

I'll now install the angelic theme

Thanks for you help

We tested Quickpet a lot. Without issue. It just downloads the .pets. The install script is the same for PPM or just clicking on a .pet.

Good day again... Saturday should be great.

Still moving up........

The mp525-wood-7.pet is now in the macpup525 folder. Enjoy!!!

Dude !!! 2 pages hits from #4

A good review:

http://hubpages.com/hub/Macpup-525-Review

Still in the top 10. We will start settling back down around 60 .We have been very successful at DW .Macpup has stayed on the top 100 "last 7 days" chart for almost two years straight.

I found this today.Another way to set up a usb install.But works from within windose and uses FAT32. Could be cool.

Those reviews were a good read..

Macpup 525 has had a good run at DW too, but tapers off with the page hits once the editorial has fallen off the bottom of the page.

I'm posting from this puppy now runtt, and really like it, but i'm puzzled as to why some modules are not visible anywhere, regardless of which E theme i use, so that's eliminated as a possible cause....see screenie attached.
This is on a Dell Latitude D620, btw, not the Mac desktop
I can provide specs if you want them.

Hello russoodle

I think i can answer this one for you.

Right click somewhere on the shelf (i used the top edge), and select Contents
Then, in the window that appears, select whatever 'Gadget' you want
and click on the Add Gadget button.

Hope this helps
