Hi BigMike,

Looks very nice, I like the idea of a menu for wine.
Your icons look really good with a blue background (close enough.jpg)

edit - problems:
could not find opera anywhere.
tried to do a full install (x3) to my laptop. does not see my usb keyboard or mouse. tried reselecting keyboard and mouse, xorgwizard etc.
live cd everything works fine
when booting it seems like its had a power failure ie checks usb ports

thanks

Hope everything is cool.

Dear BigMike!
I really liked your version of Bruno, however, is lacking support for keyboard users - ABNT 2.
With this difficulty, the people here in Brazil can not use your puppy!
A big hug!

Does this run like puppy linux completely in the RAM ?

Thank you for your help.

Sorry for the delay in saying thank you but for some reason this forum will only let me login using Firefox. & Youtube does not work properly with Firefox (well the version I have does not anyway).

I'll give it ago later.

! Successfully FULL installed Bruno pup (without OO) on HD of second PC - PIII 1 GHz, 256 MB SDRAM, 60 GB HD, onboard video.
Checked md5sum, naturally.

Some issues: Was getting stumbled during install several times on Xorg...
Would not progress after choosing any video resolution... just go to black screen with faint red hue... Same stumble if choosing Xvesa... only displaying checkered field, no progress... Solved this by trying to run Xorg config right before choosing resolution - went to desktop quickly after that.

1. ? Anybody figured out how to find Opera browser and make it usable - icon on desktop? Now it's neither on desktop, nor in Internet menu.

2. ? How to make PC to shutdown completely? Now it goes to shutdown, then says system halted, white text and blinking cursor on black background, and sits at it until hard power button press shutdown.

3. ? During boot goes thru USB checks - never saw it before?..

4. ? Portable application window (clicking on wine icon) opens in lower right corner with its buttons almost entirely blocked by bottom panel... Unsure what it's for at all...

5. ? Most serious concern - I tried to use Wine, and installed Garfield Typing Pal successfully, althou no icon came on desktop, drugging .exe icon into desktop makes it look generic Windows without recognition of program specific graphic - any way to make it original, as designed by developers of a program?

6.??? HELP!!! I tried to make use of your "Symbolic link of Wine drive" by drugging it to desktop, then realized that it doesn't have a list of installed Windows programs, and... tried to delete it... and now it's gone from / directory, but sits on desktop and doesn't point anywhere... Sorry... ? - What to do to get it back functional and how to use it properly?
The puzzling part is after deleting it doesn't appear in trash?!...

7. ? Is it okay, possible to upgrade an existing applications - SeaMonkey, Firefox, Opera? Or are they older versions for a reason?

8. ? Is it possible to make dual keyboard layouts switching permanent? AND put an indicator on a panel? I do switching, but next boot it doesn't work...

Will appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance for advice!

Concerned, we haven't heard from the op. Interesting Pup. I always run live with a save2 file, I am having some issues with Bruno and 431 on the same disk. They swap files back and forth, I usually get the Bruno desktop without all of the apps (firefox and opera). I suspect that a Bruno file can be modified to get it to look more than one directory deep for it;s files.

I am going to come out with a Bruno update in the next while its already to be remastered.

However, I would like to get some feed back is there anything in particular that would be useful overall to be added to Bruno?

I am still learning how to use this forum so that's why I PM information to people. However, I will be posting information on the main forum page now. Also it seems that some messages i received from people didn't seem to make it to this forum for some reason.

Thanks BigMike

Thanks for what appears to be a great os. I boot several puppies live with a save2 file. Bruno seems to be a bit aggressive about taking over 4.3.1 files already on the computer. When i boot 431 I get a desktop that looks like Bruno without all of the apps, mainly opera and firefox. Can you suggest a solution?
Cheers

Hi, Bligh.

The solution is pretty simple. Make a copy of your 4.31 savefile and rename it with a special name so you can use it only with Bruno Puppy. You may copy it in the same directory as your original 4.31 savefile or in a distinct directory, if you prefer to keep Bruno separate. In any case, a choice will show on boot-up. Make sure you press the right number for the savefile, and that's it. Smile

You'll have a Puppy 4.31 system and a Puppy Bruno system!

Enjoy!
