Just downloaded and running now live.........good looking puplet.

Pwidgets...can't use.
Open the option but nothing when I change or add.
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.

CTRL SHIFT + increase fontsize
CTRL SHIFT - decrease fontsize

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....

-Roy

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.

From Puplet for special features:

Puppy Linux is a live CD that is easy to remaster, and puplets are remasters with special features. They are different in one or many ways from the standard (official) Puppy.

For example, ttuuxxx has been creating remasters of Puppy with Firefox since Puppy version 4.2, and he calls his puplet "Puppies". Pizzasgood has recently created a 4.2.1 multiuser puplet. Puppy can also be run in Virtual Machine in Windows (1 GB RAM required!) - see playdayz' VirtualBox puplet. A much-appreciated puplet series is the NOP/XFCE series by Gray.

Boxpup is part of Gray's NOP/XFCE series and is visible in the repository.

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 raffy


thank you.


timremy

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.

timremy

hello

is there a way to get rid of the bar at the top

of the display. it has those icons for quick accessing.

my screen is so small, some widgets get in the way.

thank you

1. Not sure how to update BoxPup-4.1.3 conventional install on sda3 to BoxPup-4.3.1

2. Made BoxPup-4.3.1 live CD-RW, and booted that.
It found and used the pupsave file for Puppy-4.31.1 on sda11, and changed the pupsave!
I later deleted those files, now gone, and will begin anew at some future time.

3. When running that Puppy-4.3.1 using the pupsave for 4.31.1...
Used "Menu->Setup->Puppy Universal Installer" to install to sda3, and told it to UPDATE the existing BoxPup.
Tweaked the title in the GRUB menu.lst file held in the sda9 Ubuntu file system [GRUB was installed using Ubuntu].

4. It completed OK, but when I booted to BoxPup on sda3, all was NOT well.
The screen size and color depth was wrong, there was no taskbar.
Didn't hang around to see if it could be tweaked.

5. Booted Muppy-008.4c frugal with pupsave on sda10, and used Xfe to use a backup of the folder/file contents made just prior to the change, to restore the contents of sda3.
Now back working in BoxPup-4.1.3.

6. Did I get it wrong?
How to do it right?

My favourite puplet is back (or should I say upgraded?)... Yes!!!
How can I erase Firefox and replace it by Seamonkey 2?

Firefox crashes when trying to view embedded video. The missing libgconf4 is only needed by the crash reporter & so is not important. What is causing the crashes ? I believe it is the xine plugin (got from an earlier puppy). Either disable the plugin in Firefox, remove it from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or try replacing it with the attached plugin (once you unzip it).
