NOP 4.1 Released
uuhhhmm actually you can just mount the sfs and copy the contents out as per here http://www.puppylinux.com/hard-puppy.htm scroll down to installing c++ compiler and folow the same instructions
unsquashing would take much longer since you would be doing a lot of coping instead of just extracting it to where it is supposed to be as per the link

Taking Puppy Linux to the limit of perfection. meanwhile try "puppy pfix=duct_tape" kernel parem eater.

i use OpenOffice.sfs with "hot mount"(i so called...)
click on sfs( or open with filemnt) and go inside to /program and find swriter( or soffice) and then click on it and you'll get a running writer aplication
then go to options and choose enable quick-start( sorry if some terms are not matching, i have russian interface in OOO)and youll see a tray icon from where you can choose any app of the suite.
do not forget exit from quick start before unmounting sfs
here is what it looks like in boxpup( slightly customised look:)

Icon for Strawberry NOP
Dear Puppians,
Although I use my own "puppy distro" (qt3, qt4, KDE libs, GNOME libs, IceWM, Rox, OO 3.0, FF, dev libs, Slack 12.0), all in Mac OSX style, I can contribute an "icon" I recently modded that might fit the bill for a Stawberry NOP. Hope you like it, in spite of the overt culinary associations.
With kind regards,
vovchik

NOP 4.1 (.1) Revision 1 released
Updated to Revision 1 - see main post
gray,
This update of the iso is not working out for me. I end up with a CD of puppy-410-NOP-r1.iso that runs as a live CD but doesn't upgrade.
I created it thus:
xdelta3 -d -s puppy-410-NOP.iso puppy-410-NOP_to_r1.delta puppy-410-NOP-r1.iso
The mdf checksum for puppy-410-NOP_to_r1.delta is correct. Doubtless I'm doing something wrong.
Does this new iso include Opera9.62 and the new xfce?
Thanks

upgrade problems
Henry:
Puppy 4.1 has the annoying habit of copying the pup_410.sfs to the hard drive where the pupsave file is located whether you want it to or not (or even know about it ) So to upgrade you have to boot puppy with the pfix=ram option, then locate where the pup_410.sfs file is and delete it (or replace it with the one from the new CD).
Then reboot as normal. I tried to retrain the puppy to break it of this bad habit, but I am afraid the intricacies of the init script confused me some .

That oversight being dealt with, it upgrades my working configuration nicely. There's a later version of Thunar, and everything seems to work as before, except that Opera will not run at all. (If I use pfix=ram Opera 9.62 runs.)
Trying to run opera in terminal, I get this:
sh-3.00# opera
The Opera binary is not located at "/usr/lib/opera/9.60/opera".
Please modify the wrapper script at "/usr/bin/opera".
sh-3.00#

Hi all. I am in the process of switching from 4.1.1 frugal to the brilliant NOP, but have hit a problem. I seem unable to install previously downloaded dot.pup files. Previously in 4.1, I just clicked on these, and they autoinstalled, but in NOP, they open with archive manager. I hope its not too basic a question, but how do I overcome this?
ps. dotpuphandler is installed from the repos.
In the meantime, thanks for this brilliant Puppy.

NOP r1
shand : It is 4.10 based but with 4.1.1 fixes, so effectively 4.1.1
Henry: odd, that script should be top layer and so point to the correct place. You will probably have to edit the /usr/bin/opera script to point to 9.62 i.e OPERA_BINARYDIR=/usr/lib/opera/9.62
DaveS: Right click on a pup file and select Open with other application. Select use a custom command at the bottom of the popup gui and enter dotpuprox.sh as the application. Pup files have not been officially supported for a while in Puppy.

Compiz
MaxHeadroom :
After installing Nvidia driver, libwnk, fusion etc ...
Have you made sure the nvidia driver is working (you see the splash ?). If so then add the line compiz-manager & to the top of the .xinitrc file in /root. Then drop out of X (ctrl-alt-bkspc) and restart X (type xwin and enter). Compiz should then fire up. You may have to add a sleep after the compiz statement (I seem to need sleep 3).
When you installed the nvidia pet did you select the "fancy option" ? If not then you need to set up xorg for fancy graphics - see Wow's compiz thread.
