No pwidget in the screen
Thanks

Same issue here -- no Pwidgets. Md5sum and burn both verified, booting from fresh CD as 'puppy pfix=ram'.

Striking wallpaper, I must say.... I like it!

BTW, how would one go about increasing the font size in the Firefox browser? Not a problem with Gray's work at all -- the problem is with the tired old eyes on this end.

You have to start pwidgets from the pwifgets gui File menu option - Stop/Start Pwidgets.

hello mr gray

i just found your pupplet and am downloading it now.

if you could answer a question i have, i would be thankful.

why wasn't the boxpup 431 put in the puppy linux home site?

it seems puppy is divided up into groups. and if you are not

part of a certain group, will, you end up without the latest

puplets. i hope the question is ok.

thank you

Thanks, guys... it works.

Please, please, please do not think that I am trying to nit-pick here, but is anybody else having problems formatting or creating a bootable USB with GParted? I ended up doing a full install, but had to use Boxpup 413r1 for the formatting.

As always, Gray, I am thankful for your work!

hello roy


i did not get that far. with my system, during browsing

on the internet, as soon as i went to a download, firefox

shut down. everytime.

i went back to boxpup 413 r1.

This is the first SMP Boxpup that boots with my SDHC card left installed in its slot but, unfortunately, I may have to roll back to a previous version as well. -- NAH, I'll just live with it for a while longer!

I did use my full install of Boxpup 431 to download a 19kB dot-pet from another thread as a short test. It worked. Keep in mind that my present connection is really bad -- sometimes requiring 10 minutes to load a single web page of text. But having problems with Gparted, Pwidgets battery monitor doesn't show.

Dang! And I really like Gray's work, too!

Might just need a bit more tweaking for a revision 1 version....

hello

i have to agree with roy on the quality of the work. i am retired and most of the day

i download different pupplets and check them out. so far mr. gray's have been

top notch. between nop and boxpup, its hard choosing which one to run.

anyway, mr. gray, you are quite a programmer.

i was waiting for new boxpup and pleased that some of my wishes are inside!
is it possible to request a 'retro' version based on 25 kernel (it works better with wifi on eee

firefox crashes on sites with media and complains for libgconf4.so (maybe slackware's FF will work better since it has no gnome-dependencies)


how about new opera 10.10( maybe a static qt4)?

thank you gray

hello

just a note.

when i tried boxpup 431 on my dual core, while surfing and

downloading, boxpup 431 would close.

am trying boxpup 431 now on a intel m and it is working fine.
