Yes I tried adding this then downloading the package for Inscape but still not got inkscape (could not get the package to unzip this time)

What is the procedure - I really like Inkscape

i've got inkscape on my (ever increasing) to-do list

i downloaded the static i386 rpm
http://www.inkscape.org/download.php

unrpm'ed it

moved the inkscape and inkview binaries to my-applications/bin

and symlinked usr/share/inkscape to /usr/share/inkscape
(drag the usr/share/inkscape folder in the extracted inkscape files with the middle mouse button to /usr/share, and click Link)

if you have libgc installed, it should run

Firefox106 bugfix002

there was a small bug in my Firefox 1.0.6 roxapp wrapper
MSG was sometimes not being set
this bugfix makes sure that MSG gets set
at the top of the wrapper script

i think the only thing the bug was affecting
was the splash-screen message box when Firefox starts

Inkscape 0.42

Inkscape is an open source drawing tool with capabilities similar to Illustrator, Freehand, and CorelDraw that uses the W3C standard scalable vector graphics format (SVG)

http://www.inkscape.org/

copy install-inkscape-here to where you want to install it and click to download and install

this downloads another 10 meg file
Inkscape requires about 43 megs of hard drive space to install

Edit: Nov 10, 2005 - uses busybox's rpm2cpio

Mplayer /opt Bugfix

this fixes the bug that mplayer doesn't start if /opt does not exist (not really a bug, i just assumed all Puppy's had /opt)

if mplayer is already installed, just click the dotpup
to install the bugfix

An IceWM theme loosely based on the XPDE window manager. Since I have never actually used XPDE, it is not completely accurate. For the full theme effect you should also download the icons I posted earlier. Screen Shot

OpenComal 0.2.6

OpenComal is a free implementation of the Comal programming language.

Comal is a crossover between Basic and Pascal, with the best features of both and none of the drawbacks of either.

Gxmessage 2.4.4 (requires GTK-2.4+)

a prettier xmessage

this requires GTK-2.4 or better,
so therefore requires Puppy 1.0.4 or newer

Remember Rick Dangerous?

Way before Lara Croft, back in the 1980's and early 1990's, Rick Dangerous was the Indiana Jones of computer games, running away from rolling rocks, avoiding traps, from South America to a futuristic missile base via Egypt and the Schwarzendumpf castle.

xrick is a clone of Rick Dangerous

Open Office Launcher
While I like to have shortcuts to frequently used applications, I don't like to clutter my desktop with multiple icons for different Open Office applications. This is a little RoxApp that I wrote to help eliminate desktop clutter, but still provide easy access to the most common Open Office features. It should work with Chubby Puppy 1.0.4 and Puppy 1.0.4 with OOo installed as a PupGet.
