/usr/bin/new2dir has a function called fixfilelistfunc
always called as
fixfilelistfunc "$ONEFILE"
it can be sped up significantly by replacing those with something along the lines of:or changing that function to do the same rather than doing 2 consecutive reads and writes (really slow for large file lists in packages with a lot of resources)Code: Select all

). I saw your suggestions in the other thread and cool as they are I reckon installwatch can be completely ditched in favour of shinobar's find "MILESTONE" method. It's simple and works. See his nvidia installer for more info.
I'm using it as my only operating system. Very good indeed but only let me report some minor problems that i have or have had:The first time you quit and reboot you will get an opportunity to save
1. Saving the session using the "save" icon on the desktop takes a very long time to save the session, indeed I shut down to make sure it has saved the changes, but when shutting down it says the session has been already saved.
2. Trying to either do a frugal and full install failed

About abiword. I wont use my time to improve it. I don't use it. For me it is Libre Office sfs. Period. I just use brilliant get libre office pet and update my version at infrequent intervals. I include abiword so that people don't have to ask how to get in to the build. But if someone wants to improve its abilities with packages and extra features...go ahead. I am willing to include them.

None worked but thanks for introducing to me the retrovol, my speaker's sound was low and I didn't know I can increase it that much! Oh, let me add that Raring plays every format of audio and video file that i have, cool, it only gives error for that single application with an embedding player (the application still plays sound with gnome-mplayer but some facilities of its own player is missing then) and my guest virtual distro also has no sound, this one is somewhat a nail in the shoes.don570 wrote:Actually I know this, but I try to keep backup of my works and it very frequently happens that I change something and am afraid to loose it or break it again before my next reboot, and neither like to reboot at the time, so I prefer to use that "save" icon.

your data and settings.
After that the pupsave file is automatically updated on-the-fly.
So there is nothing to worry about and no need to keep clicking on
'Save' icon.! It was working on Raring 3.8.4.2 but then I upgraded my save-file to 3.8.7 and now it doesn't work. The yellow message that says the request to save the current session is queued doesn't disappear and notification that saving is under performance is not shown as well. However, as once I told you seemingly it really saves as once I rebooted and it said it has been already saved! Maybe a bug due to save file upgrade?
don570 wrote:Yes, but I meant frugal/full installation through the Puppy Universal Installer. Both failed for me after upgrade to 3.8.7 and I had checked that in 3.8.4.2 only about frugal installation that it worked but somewhat buggy, if I'm not wrong.
Frugal installs are quickly created by dragging 3 (or sometimes 4) files
into a newly created folder. I personally do my dragging from
the downloaded ISO which I have opened in the desktop.
The grub4dos program is a good way to update
your grub's 'menu.lst'
A full install must be made with Barry Kauler's installer program
which is available from Start Menu. You just need a partition
that is formatted previously to ext2 ext3 or ext4 format
and have the ISO available to be used by program.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b new_branch_name

This is most illuminating....a simple remaster worked perfectly. I deleted the seamonkey folder,
and installed Firefox 20. Installed Sylpheed 3.3 from the repo. Also have Pan and
Xfreecell installed (from Lucid pets). It also has gnome-mplayer 1.08. The remaster is
over 5 meg smaller than the original.

If you're adventurous you can run this uninstall script the usual way.

./uninstall.sh
Just tried it...and like everyone of Barry's Precise Distros, it fails to recognize my sound chip.....yes Raring does....so if you adopt it, please handle the audio as you have been.pemasu wrote: But....there is new Barry`s Precise Puppy with non-PAE kernel available.
