What is the reason you use Rox panel rather than fbpanel or lxpanel? Just size?

I just like it. It integrates well with the Rox Desktop - you can drop icons into it. It has a cool scrolling feature if you add too many icons. For Flwm, I even got the hard drive icons to go into the Panel.

There's no real reason you couldn't use some other panel if you want.

After playing with it some more, noticed something else.

I was trying to install JWM and noticed that it's impossible to start JWM by typing xwin jwm. Apparently the only way to switch window manager is to manually edit /etc/wm or /etc/windowmanager(not sure of the difference) or use the switcher program, which has limited options. Kind of annoying.

Hi, jemimah!

Just tried your Fluppy 0.03 on my desktop: it's fabulous!
I specially like the rox panel / openbox wm combination.

Congratulations, you did it again!

I pulled the hard drive from my old Inspiron 4000 p3 and put it
in my newer laptop in order to install Fluppy from the usb.
It works very well in the old laptop.
Would sure be nice to eventually have a Fluppy "iso" for situations
like this. :)

Haven't found any Puppy that matches my 4.1.2 install for speed and
ability to run at low temperatures: until now.
Fluppy matches it perfectly and seems to run a little faster.
This really surprised me; as 4.1.2 is under 100mb in size and I
assumed the size of Fluppy would slow it down!

Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.
Eeepc 8g 701, 900Mhz, 1Gb ram.
Full installs

Hi!
Actually, there is an iso for Fluppy. Go to the very first post of this thread and look for the sentence:
> Big_Bass uploaded an ISO for Fluppy 003
The URL for download is right under it.

That's where I got mine from, and it works as any Puppy iso, i.e. great! :D

I've just uploaded the latest version of ROX, which works fully under Fluppy, here:

The ROX in Fluppy is patched to remove the annoying panel auto-hide feature that doesn't work if your panels have stuff in them and allow the corner buttons to work nicely in Flwm.

I've been planning to upgrade and patch the new version but that probably won't happen until after the Puppeee release.

Hi, jemimah.

You said:

> feature that doesn't work if your panels have stuff in them [...]

I certainly didn't mean to undo anything you did to ROX 2.6.1. But if the feature doesn't work... then I did no harm in advancing to ROX 2.10... right?

I'm not sure I understand the full meaning of your comment.

Most sincerely,
musher0

I only mean that if you update ROX in Fluppy, things might break in Flwm. Nothing major though.

True.

But what we need is a talking cow :shock:
- the png could even be swapped for a Puppy
Now that is the way to handle hints, tips and help . . .

download source code here . . . and link to flite if possible

I am using the ISO of 003 - much appreciated. Thanks Joe. Thanks Jemimah. :)

That's a funny idea. Definitely worth experimenting with. The flight voice doesn't sound much like a cow though - at least I don't think so.

Nah, no gadgets. At least not in the default run-of-the-mill Fluppy.
Of course, that's just my two cents, pennies, liras, centimes, and other inconsequential money. :lol:

I've updated Fluppy 02 to 003, by using unetbootin to install the iso on a usb stick, then using (installed) Puppy 431 to delete vmlinuz, initrd, and the two sfs files from the hard drive and copy the new ones from the usb stick.

Reboot into Fluppy, and it all worked. My Canon printer drivers are still ok (not Gutenprint, the real thing), Firefox is still working, complete with bookmarks. Wireless connected by itself. And I'm still signed in to the forum. It's great. EXCEPT- no icons! Should there be some? All I have are the drive icons along the bottom.

I am not sure if a cow voice is available for flite - clearly an oversight . . .

A talking cow/lobster is an essential tool for the terminally sane
and may help those with limited vision
(for example my imaginary psychiatrist
who has less sense than a 5 year old
- who all know cows talk)
