this is too funny, I built another test release with a untouched version of firefox and it didn't work I then moved the firefox folder to root and it worked, I then moved it back to /lib and it worked. man this is strange

Hi MHHP,MinHundHettePerro wrote:The grabbing of a save-file occurs if one, and only one, save-file is found. Otherwise a choice of found save-files is offered.
Just skimming through initrd_sbin/init, I'd say that the absolutely simplest way to avoid the automatic, possibly disastrous, grabbing of a save-file is to always offer a choice, lines 615ff of initrd_sbin/init:hth / MHHP# gives user option of choosing pupsave. if only one exists selects it
choose_pupsave_func(){
## set PUPSAVE
#set -- $ALLPUPSAVES # just pass it to function...
#if [ $# -eq 1 ];then # only one pup_save -- use it
# PUPSAVE="$1"
#elif [ $# -gt 1 ];then # more than one -- ask which to use
echo -e "\\033[1;36mPLEASE CHOOSE WHICH SAVE FILE TO USE" >/dev/console
echo "0 none" >/dev/console
CNT3FS=1
for ASAVE in $@
do
APART=${ASAVE%,*} ; APART=${APART#*,}
case "$ASAVE" in
*.[23]fs) # pup_save file
AFILE=${ASAVE##*,}
echo -e "$CNT3FS Partition: $APART\tFile: $AFILE" >/dev/console
;;
*_install_3) # installed to part
AVER=${ASAVE%%_*} ; AVER=${AVER#*Puppy}
echo -e "$CNT3FS Partition: $APART\tPuppy $AVER install" >/dev/console
;;
*) # will be files saved to partition: PUPMODE 6/7
echo -e "$CNT3FS Partition: $APART\tSettings saved directly to partition" >/dev/console
;;
esac
let CNT3FS=CNT3FS+1
done
echo -en "Please type a number then press ENTER key: \\033[0;39m" >/dev/console
read NUM3FS
clear #v2.12
if [ $NUM3FS -gt 0 ];then
eval PUPSAVE=\$$NUM3FS
fi
#fi #if [ $# -eq 1 ]
## end set PUPSAVE
I would prefer to change this to offer a choise when there is one pup_save file or more and not always. I think this can do the trick:
Regards,# gives user option of choosing pupsave. if only one exists selects it
choose_pupsave_func(){
## set PUPSAVE
#set -- $ALLPUPSAVES # just pass it to function...
#if [ $# -eq 1 ];then # only one pup_save -- use it
# PUPSAVE="$1"
if [ $# -gt 0 ];then # one or more than one -- ask which to use
echo -e "\\033[1;36mPLEASE CHOOSE WHICH SAVE FILE TO USE" >/dev/console

Hi, clarf!
That looks a tad bit better than my skim-through quick-'n'-easy solution above .
Cheers / MHHP

using pidgin or gaim in Classic Pup
How to use pidgin on 2.14.10?
I installed gaim with the package manager, but it doesn't work: it seems to be lacking gtk+. How can I install that?
Or can i just use the .pet of pidgin for 431?
Thanks

Bruno - you could give this .pet file a try for installing the newer Pidgin 2.10.6...?

pidgin in 2.14.10
Thanks darkstrike,
but that .pet doesn't work
After installing, it gives a long list of missing libraries

Yeah, that one was for Puppy 4, but I figured I would see if it worked for you or not - didn't know how many dependencies it required.

Which version?
Hy, guys.
I know this is not active in the last... years but I need to know among the 2.14 versions which one is the last.
I am trying to make a PentiumIII work less sluggish. With Precise Puppy (5.4) it got surprisingly slow
I'm talking about a fully installed Puppy to use the machine for real, for work (school).
Cheers!
Gonzalo

How would you compare these "classic" versions with Wary?
i saw the Abiword version in 2.14 was updated... so, it's quite similar to Wary. Are the kernel version too different?
Cheers!

Re: Which version?
2.14X is a highly updated puppy version with an older kernel, Xorg, the kernel is half the size of Wary, I've been using 2.14X on a daily bases since I start this project 3.5yrs ago, If it works fine on your pc, I wouldn't use any other OS. I use it for my Multimedia Pc and play all my movies on my 42"lcd on it.Gonzalo_VC wrote:Thanks!sheldonisaac wrote:214x-Top10.0 ISOGonzalo_VC wrote:Hy, guys.

Re: Which version?
OK, Dewbie. But having 512 MB of RAM plus a swap space, the real big issue is CPU usage. Even a light distro like Puppy can become sluggish Perhaps the older kernel is the secret, I don't know this technical issues that deep.ttuuxxx wrote:Gonzalo_VC wrote:Nice.
