Relax, ttuuxxx. You're stressing for no good reason. The Puppy Web Desktop never was going to be the home page; just a link from the welcome screen and help pages.ttuuxxx wrote:If you want I'll repackage it with gtmoz as backend, with menu links, I'll even go as far as to making a patch for seamonkey so it will be in the Quick launch personal toolbar. But please once again don't make it default homepage.
I got the download, techo, but couldn't make it overlay the default desktop page. BTW, I've asked ttuuxxx to create a Seamonkey patch that will add the Puppy Web Desktop to the personal toolbar so it is right there and visible when the browser is launched.technosaurus wrote:I have been working on integrating parts of the web desktop into the default home page... here is what I have so far

Good job, panzer. You've just convinced me to use ttuuxxx's version! Anything you don't like has to be an automatic inclusion!!!panzerpuppy wrote:@ttuuxxx: Your 'enhanced' blinky looks like Toys 'R Us and freememapplet is beyond uglyttuuxxx wrote: ...and looks nice and clean to boot

Can't help with the e-sata setup, Béèm, but I think you've answered your own question as to why both sda1 and sda5 are shown as mounted boot (yellow dot).Béèm wrote:Side question:
The sda1 is the windows drive ntfs, which contains the puppy files for boot (same setup as my laptop)
The sda5 is a data partition (vfat) which contains the pup_safe file.
Having 1GB of memory, I suppose the complete pup_420.sfs is copied to ram, as I didn't see that tit was copied to /mnt/home.
But on the desktop I have the sda1 and sda5 icons both mounted with a yellow dot.
How come the sda1 is mounted also? I don't have this on the laptop.
awwwwwwwwww you made me happy WhoDo, I'm Actually starting to live JWM who would of known, especially the new release with rounded windowsWhoDo wrote:Good job, panzer.

My laptop has a ntfs partition sda1 and I use the same Lin'N'Win method. The second partition is vfat as well and is sda2.Whodo wrote:.

sda1 has your boot files and so MUST be mounted to boot
sda5 has your pup_save file and MUST be mounted in order to retrieve your configuration at boot (psubdir= ...).
Not knowing your laptop configuration I couldn't say why this appears different but it certainly is logical as you've explained your setup.
Hey Beem I've never had any issues with my 750G, 500G, 320G,X2 sata2 hard drives with puppy, do you think maybe its the cable, try swapping cables around and see what happens ?Béèm wrote:two machines.
Yes thats a great point, good call, That page would be easy to fixsteve_s wrote:this is a minor thing but needs to be noted.
i just started up rc4 and tried to view it from the eyes of someone brand new to linux coming from windows...this is tough to do but is necessary for a new distro especially in these times. We are going to have a lot more Windows refugees coming over than ever before..
Anyway, on the very first help page that you click on at startup it has the html firstboot page that comes up...
On that page, one thing it says is, "When you get online, the web browser home page has many more links." Well, the home page is Google.
I know that line is designed for the last home page and the one listed in the /usr/share/docs area as home, right? I actually prefer google myself, but for those that are just coming over and are trying to follow instructions, that may be confusing...
I'll continue to check...
Naaa I tossed that help link out of IceWM way back, it makes the menu taller which is a pain fo small laptops, plus I figured they had to use JWM first to get to Icewm so they probably already seen the help page, link etc.steve_s wrote:...to continue with my previous post, the firstboot page also says, "Lots of local help is available -- select 'Help' in the menu (see left side of taskbar). The local Help page also has the Release Notes for this version of Puppy -- well worth checking out!"
I'm right now using icewm and there is no "help" area on the menu...
**Edit: perhaps just direct them to the Help icon via this page?

On the last 4.2.0 RC4 :
When you stop Pwidgets 2.0.5 (file - Stop/Start Pwidgets...) there's an error message :
