Since I already have qt-482 installed I downloaded and compiled
Smplayer-16.8.0 and Smtube-16.7.2, works well with your Mplayer.

Also saw the tips on rearranging the desktop and moved the panel that
was hiding the drive icons.

Puduan-6.0.0 is working great on my old p4.

Thanks again.

Hi, Billtoo.

Thanks for the compliment!

Great desktop you have there in your pic! (I'm jealous!)

About SMPlayer and SMTube: did you compile them on this Puduan? If so, is there a
possibility you can make them available (including the Qt) for the rest of us?

Thanks in advance. And have a great Sunday!

[musher0]

Double. Sorry.

Hello all.

I've added a "Credits" post (#3) and a "Special Features" post (#4) on page 1.

Congratulations Christian!

Working to satisfaction here in qemu. The qemu video driver is fbdev so unaccelerated it has a few quirks but of course qemu/fbdev have their limitations. So the attached screen shot may not be what is expected. BTW, as reported, I had to set a wallpaper manually.

I downloaded iceweasel from ppm and that works fine too.

Sound worked ootb. Basic puppy staples all working in limited testing.

Cheers!

Congrats Musher0!
It must be mindbreaking fun to build a complete puppy.

Can you give a little more explanation on the what, why, how of your build?
Or did you already explain it somewhere on the forum?

I am tempted to try it; the wmx intrigues me. But I run on an old Palomino with geforce256 and I guess you use a new kernel and xorg?

I can run Tahr - not palemoon though, I got no SSE2 - and if I need something I always look in the repos of jessie. So why would you build this if there is already Tahr?

Hello, foxpup.

The discussion that led to this thread was:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=917394&sort=lastpost#917394

As to why I built a Puduan Puppy while a TahrPup existed: keep this to yourself:
I wanted to create trouble!!!

Joking aside: Puppy has had the capacity to build a Jessie for a long time. People
were starting to make fun of us and discredit us on DistroWatch because we didn't.
(Nah. That may be just another [bad] joke!)

How about: a distro that can feed on many repos didn't. Now Puppy has one more
restaurant to choose from!

As to the technical aspects of your question, they will be better answered by a
real techie.

Edit: The kernel I chose for this Puduan is version 3.14.0. There are other kernel
options in the Woof-CE when you get to that item. For the record, as I am writing
these words, the last stable Linux kernel listed on kernel.org is version 4.7.2.

But I do encourage you to download the latest woof-CE and dive right in!

BFN.

@01micko.

Yeah, it's wiggling!

It'll need to go through the usual paces (beta, rc) before final publication.

Thanks for taking it for a test drive! (And thanks for the initial push!)

BFN.
