Had a quick look at 006
seemed all right - fonts are not rendered properly (or is that my imagination?)
No Quickpet? (I hear from Igu he no like . . . )
I could not find Openshot or XaraLX or anything I might want to use in the
package manager so I am back in Quirky without any real Squeeze testing . . .
As an end user why would I use Debian
unless I can get some reliable progs?
Am I unreasonable?
You can keep the Owl
- will pop back for 007

I think I'll make a 061, 006 with fixes
So ... in order to fix printing, all we need is ghostscript? I can turn the DEB into a PET to skip Woof's processing.
I want to add fam (I removed it, I guess we need it after all) and dejan555's Abiword. I think we should roll back to rxvt-unicode, mrxvt is too problematic, I wanted to do this in 005 already.
EDIT: Lobster, you can get them from the repo. I have some cool concept of a Quickpet-like thing that is customizable and can be used on any Puppy, I want to work on this and a new kernel for dpup once all issues are solved.

abiword-2.8.6-i486-squeeze.pet from dejan555 works and is printing via the preview èpdfviev`or èvince` ( darn deadkeys )
I` ' " vë just installed it over the current abiword without plugins for now

NEXT :
# lp
lp lpc lpinfo lpoptions lpq lprm lpstat
lpadmin lpdomatic lpmove lppasswd lpr lprshell
lpr -f /Path/to/File at terminal prints directly to the printer but
lp /Path/to/File not ...... I`am somewhat sure that this may be a problem perhaps, too ....
[EDIT]
this is running, too from console :
# lp -d Epson_Stylus_SX410 -o cpi=12 -o lpi=8 -o page-left=72 /etc/group
request id is Epson_Stylus_SX410-26 (1 file(s))

I know 006 isn't perfect, but I could easily live with this setup indefinitely.

Geany Printing options need to be in the definition range of
006 pix=ram now
Printer setup was again no problem
Only installed /mnt/+initrd+mnt+dev_ro2+dpup006+dpupsave-MAINdpup006.3fs/root/Downloads/ghostscript_8.71~dfsg2-6_i386.deb
still printing seems to be only possible from the epdfview previewer today ... I`m starting to believe in ghosts for the moment ....
I somehow believe its in the lpr commandline or a much too little timeout compiled inside the editors Leafpad, geany, Abiword, gnumeric I`ve tested today
[EDIT]
Playing with the many printing options at the Geany-Printing-Gui it seems that I found some settings to be sync`ed with the cups settings ... geany now prints directly to the printer
[EDIT]
printing today : gnumeric, leafpad, geany and mtpaint via epdfview ( adding .pdf to .png so it is .png.pdf . the default 006-abiword didn`t print
I also tested don570 mtpaint shortly today but many defaultsettings are the same as at 3.31 especially to uncheck fix aspect ratio at resize/scale canvas is still annoying .. otherwise seems to work o.k ....

I'm generating a first 007 ISO with a non-processed Debian ghostscript, the new Abiword and rxvt-unicode instead of mrxvt, plus some other fixes, including the missing smbclient fix.
btw, today I discovered a small BitTorrent client named Torium ... it could be a good replacement for Transmission, as in the DeaDBeeF vs. Pmusic case. Need your opinion.

I think that it asked me to install gtkmm and dev headers to compile it and now it asks for libtorrent, I wonder what the size is going to be after I compile it with all the deps

seamonkey -mail does not setup an eMailaccount at the moment
dpup-004 ... I like the wallpaper somehow
# seamonkey -mail --version
Mozilla SeaMonkey 2.0.7, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 mozilla.org
doesn`t ask me for a password to setup a mail account ... seems not possible at all to setup an email account
I think it was discussed at the beginning of this thread ...?

That's fixed in seamonkey 2.0.8 in 005 and newer dpups Karl
While new iso is uploading just wanna share few things:
Printing works!
delayedrun fix: we need & at the end of gtkmoz command because all icons in taskbar don't apear before welcome page browser closes otherwise.
Who wants urxvt with scrollbar on the right and black bg/ white fg put this in /root/.Xdefaults:
If someone knows good combiantion for xft fonts please tell.

Dpup007. Printing works. At least testpage.
Hmm... I waited for firstrun.sh to start, but when it didnt I launched it from /root/Startup. Maybe I was just too hasty. Flsynclient adjusts my touchpad fine. Finnish keyboard setting I set the old way: öööäää, looks good
Notecase seems to be dropped from personal. I have used that one.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... ages-woof/ and from there notecase: 2 packages. Works fine. About 660 K together.
gHasher does not work as nice as gtkHash. You cant drag and drop iso and iso.delta into it or am I just too ignorant ?
How about adding Uget. http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... 1-pup4.pet Massive 62 K.
Transmission is fine addition in dpup as default bittorrent client. It was time to get rid of pctorrent which nobody was able to use.

The first-run wizard appears once you close the welcome page, it's normal and happens in all puppies for some reason
And the mail client in 004 - the problems with it are gone in 005+.
EDIT: 007 is the first dpup I run on my Eee and it's totally great, just having the usual sound issues I get with my newish netbook ... the new kernel I intend to compile will hopefully solve these problems

Here's mtpaint snapshot script replacement, it's from dpup 484 but I changed it to use mtpaint only. 484 also used scrot which had option to capture one window only.

007 mxvrt
Hopefully, like James Bond, this OO7 has a license to kill so all the enemies will be gone.
I know at least the mxvrt is gone. And uxvrt is alive.
