HanSamBen-a derivative of Edupup with Gcompris 8.4- Alpha V2
The plan worked. I tried it with Etoys sfs just to experiment.
It will put the etoys entry into line 4 (under the background entry) in Puppypin. X server needs to be restarted, so i'll put that at the bottom of the script to automate the whole process. Just gotta stick it in a pinstall which i assume will run all\any scripts after the sfs is loaded.
edit. stuck restartwm at the end
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
#script to place etoys sfs icon on desktop
sed '4i\
<icon x="72" y="500" label="Squeakland Etoys" locked="true">/usr/share/applications/etoys.desktop</icon>' /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin > /root/PuppyPin1
mv /root/PuppyPin1 /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin

Just had a rush of blood and worked out the disabling of the right click. It is indeed in the xorg.conf
However as i was working on my Dell Latitude Osx it wasnt working because the protocol for the touchpad and ps2 mouse (which is where is had my rush) were different. I need that old freind SED to insert it into the xorg.conf. Going to try from /usr/sbin/inputwizard. Logic tells me that it write to xorg.conf.
Before that i came up with some code (with Googles help) to see whats going on in a script, in particular the full install PUI
Not tested it yet
Code: Select all
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 1 1"

Polished the additional coinsOz and Euro games.
Thinking out loud - HSB Full
Looking at Sunburnts utillity, maybe map the individual sfs (with regards to screen position), stick the utillity in there and is it possible to make it self destruct after the icon has been set?. or some script within the sfs to call the utillity and then kill itself so it doesnt run at every boot?.
Tested the command to look at script output
and got a log after reconfiguring the mouse! Will try the full install and see what transpires.
Script surfing
Really for livecd\kiosk version. Harked back to /bin/mount
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 700#303700
Couldnt quite fathom where to put a warning and wondering if its really needed if it can be locked down.
Still trying to see where to put the "ButtonMapping option, had a look at input-wizard, which led me to function4puppy4.
Never-the-less the sfs on the full is priority, then stick it up as a beta and look at the full install and live cd

Sorted the SFS icon. The sfs Etoys and KDEEDU will be uploaded with a pinstall script, this will be dropped in /root/my-applications/bin.
rc.local will have a snoop:
If its there it will execute then pass on to a little script pfinish, which will wipe it out, so its not found again.
What if 2 sfs's are loaded at once- i dont know, its a workaround because by the time the kids are in bed, searching through the init scripts is like sticking pins in my eyes. I'd better try it anyway.

Thanks for sorting this sidders. Would you just give me a rundown of the installation procedure again with the files I need....the preschool to is a bit of a harsh environment for puppying in! It would be good to know exactly what Im doing before I go back.

### Success !!! New ROX desktop icon manager app. is Beta 3.
I renamed it to: roxDTicon (it just makes more sense than pupin-edit).

Worked out the disable right click (which was giving me sleepless nights)

Tried my little scripts with the sfs. You can only load one at a time. Going to study Sunburnts roxDTicon. Could a conf file be made in the sfs for the uttillity?. Just another idea.

sidders; ecomoney asked almost the same thing.
roxDTicon should be part of the main Puppy distro. then all apps. can use it.
However that may not happen so it certainly could be included in every SFS file.
As I`ve stated, a Bash script in SFS files could to do the setup needed.
The SFS Manager would run the script after mounting and then again to cleanup.
The script could have an argument: "-m" for the mount, and "-u" to unmount.
That way it sets thing up and then cleans up after itself.
Desktop icons and menu items are several of the things it could do.

I see, put the script in the sfs.
SFS manager. Rather than dig about in initrd, could use something like JRB's load_sfs.pet, and tweak that to look for Surnburnt's roxDTicon.
