I have Dropbox running perfectly on Spup. I am using the portable apps version.
There is probably a smaller option available as a .pet somewhere, but what the heck, it works great.

I have used Dropbox as a linux portable app with success as well. I have also found that the sfs file for Dropbox that is in Jemimah's repository of puppeee goodies works quite well. It is in the pet store at puppeee.com/web.

downloaded and installed your keucr_2.6.34.1-spup100.pet, no need to reboot, worked fine after restarting X; my Aspire One D255 now reads SD cards nicely, thanks a lot!
And hearty congrats to 01micko for his admirable job on this Puppy version -- wonder what can be made better in spup-120!?
_______
Edited: one bug came out right after posting, sadly -- sound works no more when booting the newly-made frugal install. (I also had to run the network wizard, since there was no web connection anymore, but it was normally set up in a few seconds).
Sound worked OK automatically at first-time boot from a USB-HD formatted flash memory; now it's no use setting up ALSA again nor substituting the first-boot /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf file from the USB flash memory to the frugal-installed one.
Seems there's nobody with such issue in this thread. What did I do wrong?
Well: Acer Aspire One D-255 with Intel 82801G soundcard, which the ALSA setup wizard recognizes, but then exits with an error before "woofing".
*Solved -- why, my bad of course! Sure: I had copied the savefile from the USB flash drive to the HD, but that's not the way to go. I wanted to keep the settings for the touchpad and the background image which had already been done, never dreaming that I would lose all sound! "Never pretend be wiser than you actually are."
Rebooted from the HD ignoring that savefile - voilà, sound works nicely AND keeps going on subsequent boots... Same for networking.

Ha Ha... when you built the .iso Mick, you left a spare copy of Gnumeric and Goffice in My Documents. How come this has not been spotted before LOL....
spup-100 error copying to ntfs

I don't know why I didn't run into this before.
I receive often attachment of e-mail with file names containing accented characters.
My locale is nl_BE and utf ticked.
When saving to a ntfs partition (my data partition) I get a copy error.
When saving to the file system, ext3 or vfat, I don't have the error.
(see pictures)
This is bad.
Will have to try in spup 120, but I assume I will have the same issue.
Is there a cure?
(If spup will become puppy 5.3 I'll have a problem then)

Hopefully it'll work in spup being made for lucid as far as I see.
But for me it masks the underlying problem.
The original stay-connected is
here. I'm a little surprised that it has gone from being a quick fix to a standard Puppy wifi repair tool.
Here is my (limited) understanding of the issue. Some wireless routers periodically poll their clients to see if they are still active. Some clients, when idle, won't respond. So the connection is dropped. I don't know if this is a function of the client's wifi adapter driver or WEP/WPA or something else.
As the issue was intermittently (sometimes hours without a problem) I didn't install the stay connected pet yet.
Up to now I had the issue some 10-15 times and in 2 cases even during a download.
I activated stay-connected now and will watch again during a similar period and report back.
Even with the stay-connected active I continue to have the issue.
Mostly I reactivate the connection with dhcpcd eth1 in a terminal.
These last days this doesn't work anymore and I get messages o no carrier detected followed by a time out.
I have to redo the connection setup with the network wizard.
What I did now is install the dhcpcd 5.2.2.
Will see if this cures the issue.
Will report back.

I need everyones help with a problem I am having with Spup-1.00 & 1.20.50. I love to watch internet TV at vettle.com. With Linux you have to download veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh and install it as a plugin. I open a terminal in root and type sh veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh as the site tell you to. The problem is it should install Veetle Broadcaster Plugin, Veetle TV Core and Veetle TV Player. All it installs is Veetle TV Core.
I have installed it in other version of Puppy and most will let me install all three.
I only have this problem with 4.3.1 and below, Browserlinux based releases and Spup releases.
All help is needed.
