dottce's are just tar.gz archives; that's what you want since you can make them straight into dotpets (as you know).

dottcz's are (I think) loop mountable images of already extracted tce's, in some shape or form; I haven't really looked into them yet.

So, more precisely, this is the link you want:
ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/tce/

Note that there are a couple of text files which give info and list the dependencies required. The latter is why tiny core prefers people to use appbrowser with their distribution since appbrowser automatically brings down the dependencies if you don't already have them installed on your TC system (which is why the ftp download link isn't obvious on their site; stops lots of problems with new people unfamiliar with the system failing to download all the required dependencies manually).

Hi,
I want to point out that there is still a problem with overlapping icons. Every new drive/partition icon (USB) appears in the lower right corner at the same place (EeePc900 with 1024x600). It's not a drama but annoying e.g. to connect a USB-HD with 7 partitions/icons.
Forum member floborg posted here the same problem about 1 month ago (with 800x600, no response) and forum member mave posted the same in a seperate thread (with 1680x1050).

Sorry if I missed something.

Rolf

Tried to access my router @ 192.168.1.1 and resulted in an "Authorization Request" page. Nothing else. No window to enter name and password.

Rebooted to puppy410 and no problems accessing it.

Is there a setting somewhere I missed in the browser? I found the "java enabled", where's the javascript setting?

I have applied some lessons learned from my 3G-pupdial project, to speed up the udev rule, handle new Intel device names, and and wait a little longer for modem response to a modem test. On initial use, my Intel modem was not found after it had been detected; increasing the wait for response by a half second solved that. This dotpet is for puppy 4.2 only.

UPDATE 5/17/09: Replaced the attachment with a correction to the Intel 536 modem init script. The corrected tarball alone is available here:http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=306565&search_id=2065289348#306565

Hi. Sorry to have to report that detection of my partitions is very patchy, especially of sda8 (the final one).

I get this error massage when I try to do it manually;

mount; /dev/sda8 is not a valid block device

and clicking on the Pmount icon simply results in the partitions up to sda6 being mounted.

I don't have the same problem with earlier Pups such as 2.15 CE and Teenpup. Can anyone please tell me what the fix for this is? Ttuuxxx has suggested that this could be a driver error.

Best,

Colonel Panic.

[quote="Bruce
Before closing, can I sell you on a Firefox pet package
that requires gnome support files? Even when
Puppy doesn't have them and Firefox doesn't need
them![/quote]

All I can say Bruce, Is that one time way back I made a couple Firefox packages that needed Gnome libs because they were simply repackage tar.gz ones with the font changes etc included, It was a bit of a learning curve to learn how to properly compile firefox for puppy, most Firefox/Seamonkey/Opera etc packages in the Software section today are just repackaged ones unless the user specifies that he/she compiled them, which I think i might of seen 2-3 times other than my stuff, they do that for the ease of pet installs, Opera of course you can't compile. but the rest you can. I would say anything from Firepup mozilla based that I released on the software section of the forum has been compiled on puppy.

Also on series 4 some applications out of the many I compiled would n't compile properly, this could be due to the faulty gtk thats in 4 series. But when that would happen, most of the time you could get Ubuntu Gutsy compiled applications to work, also I don't know of any kde base that was compiled on puppy, most of it was reused from other distros, I've probably compiled more gnome base parts than anyone who released gnomes libs on puppy, and let me tell you, it isn't fun, lol

Also sometime when say I compiled xfburn I needed dbus, but after it was compiled I was able to remove it, since it for the xfce desktop, which I didn't use but deps for you, anyways after that I had dbus installed on my pc, any programs that could use dbus automatically switch to dbus enabled, that crap because I then have to start over clean, or thing like Firefox would be build with dbus.

Hope this explains a bit.

Quick update; I've given 4.2 Bling another try and this time the partitions loaded properly, so it seems to be a temporary or intermittent fault.

I might try Puppy 4.2.1 next.

I have just completed a frugal install to a 2Gb RunDisk, and
all went well until I loaded WINE 1.16 - I used the (dot)pet
version.

The screen has gone black with just the mouse pointer on screen.

Any help for this one ?

Cheers Tui

When Java is installed (by .pet, or manually from the SUN homepage), printing is killed:

CUPS is not accessible anymore (can not connect to localhost...), and also printing itself (HP Laserjet 4L on lp0) doesn't work anymore.

Some posts before in this blog I read about some trouble with printing, and tried the "libgnomeprint-2.18.5-full.pet", and it seemed to work (first installed Java, then the "libgnome.." - but only until I enabled Java in Openoffice.

Any ideas?

I cannot reproduce your problem. I installed Java into a fresh copy of 4.2.0 using a manual install and there were no side effects on printing.

However, I don't have Open Office installed, so I can't comment on that part of the issue.

How much memory does your machine have?

My default machine is a IBM Thinkpad R50, 1.4GHz with 512MB RAM.

Before posting here I also tried on other machines like a old 650MHz 512MB DELL Laptop, and on a High-performing Dual-core with 2GB RAM, all with the same effect: As soon a Java is installed, printing doesn't work any more (and CUPS ends up in un-accessible localhost...). Also I tried different Java versions (1.6 and 1.5).

The effect with OpenOffice (Oo3 as sfs-file) is just on top, when trying to workaround with the "libgnomeprint-2.18.5-full.pet".

On my default installation (4.1.2) everything works fine.
