Amarok is my fav player -- but yeah it's clunky. I ran across JuK and it has the same sorting features of Amarok and half the weight. So far, ik like it! IDK if JuK would be a consideration for LW or not. I just hate all the fussing around setting up playlists and such with other media apps, as good as they are.
There's Listen, too, which is also supposed to be lighter weight -- but i noticed a lot of Gnome dependencies....??

yes so think KDE or gtk2, lol. Remember Living water is to be small so all users can enjoy it

around 125+/-MB then the other versions maybe.

I'm just about finished making kdelib base for bibletime, this one will be more stable than previous models, and a bit larger, But I think its the price we'll have to pay for stability.

I already have kpdf up and running on it

kpdf is only 265kb so I'll include that as a extra little bonus

below is a screenshot of it, I guess Living Water 4.2 has officially moved from planning stage to building stage now

Good news

I'm also still working on 4.2, but its a limited role now, Mainly fixes.

ttuuxxx,

Don't know if you want to try it yet since it's based on KDE4 libs, but the stable source code for Bibletime 1.7 is:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=568090

Thanks for the Xiphos link, their Xiphos 3.0.0.0.1 looks good and is a significant update of gnomesword 2.4.1.1.

Looking forward to your new releases,
Jim

Yes the latest is 1.7 but it won't compile on 4 series due puppy's older qt4, and other libraries, If I was to update them, It could break the build, or if I changed the source code it would be a very long process, Plus at the momement there aren't that many KDE 4.0 applications compared to KDE3, so It will have to be KDE3, plus I almost have the KDE3 base almost finished and if you look at page 1, I have a list of Qt/KDE applications I already have compiled, as the list grows It'll update it

Soooo--i hope you take your breath now that 4.2 is done...
...but not for TOO long!

Thinking about the next LW -- how is it going to be set up? More of a "Spartan" release or more full-featured? Which CD-burner? FirePup, or a different browser? What about JWM patches and goodies for the browser preinstalled? All the plugins and codecs for browser, Gxine, etc? Audacity? (Yeah, and why is there no audacity.sfs file available anywhere??)
I wasn't thrilled with Pmusic -- but then, i rediscovered good ol' XMMS - only now i just go to my "music" folder, right-click on an album folder, and open with XMMS rather than play around with the playlist function. Either one, you seem to like installing VLC.
Glad to see BibleTime included.
I'm running 4.2 but i;m waiting for you next release! I've inherited a pretty nice HP from my daughter -- 1.5Ghz Pentium, 500MB RAM -- much nicer than my P-1, 133Mhz with 40MB RAM!!

A full install will probably fly...

First I need a base, 4 series just doesn't do it for me anymore

FF3 runs terrible, So many things would have to be updated its really not worth it, I'm working on dpup and would like that or spup as the base, FF3 works perfect on it and its really fast, but its a alpha and has issues but hopefully I can iron them out quickly. Xmms is the media player I like the most but its gtk1 and uses some pretty big libs to get it working. Well the package was about 2.7MB with xmms, compared to streamtuner+Aqualung+libsamplerate 685kb pet I made for 4 series.

As mediaplayers go, Could be Mplayer or VLC, using Dpup will give us better options with VLC 9 it actually might compile for once properly

So like I mention first things first, The base

then all trimmings etc.

Yes Debian woof, if you want to try it, only half the desktop programs are working, and I can give you a link to iceweasel which is Firefox3.0.6 that runs really great on it.

I'm happy that you are considering Firefox 3. If you don't want to wait on Woof for "Living Water" and would still like to use FF3, it works great on 4.2. That is, if your glib-2.20.0-i386.pet is installed, which helps keep FF3 from crashing. Thanks to your glib .pet, FF3 is very stable and a much better choice than Seamonkey or Opera. Also it will automatically update to version 3.08 and beyond.

Woof could be the better base though, especially if Barry uses the new 2.6.29 kernel. Hopefully he will also use ext4 for which you provided a nice article describing it's features.

Whatever, looking forward to your new "Living Water".

Hey, ttuxxx (and anyone else who cares) -- Toshiba has the PERFECT new laptop to sell pre-loaded with Puppy, if we can convince them. As a matter of fact, the desktop background on the unit in the ad bears a striking resemblance to your fire hydrant logo!

i ran across a site listing a few gags and thot that was great. Here's another good one, true cloud computing on the go...lacking only a Goodyear logo --

and the truly bizarre.

These were put out by the respective companies! No sense spending time doing truly useful stuff when no one's buying in this economy, i gather.

I know Jesus said "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me", but I'm looking for a different kind of living water. The download links at ttuuxxx.com aren't working and I can't find a link on this forum thread.

Please forgive me if I've missed it, but if someone can point me in the right direction, I'd love to give it a go.
