puplite with a normal rox desktop, after switch

[sc0ttman]

default info shown on desktop from pmconky, only works for 'jwm-only' desktop

(pmconky by goingnuts, modified)

[sc0ttman]

much easier sfs conversion from v3 to v4 (and vice versa)

(trios sfs-convertor plus updated filemnt script)

[sc0ttman]

mime type editor by bigbass, one of a few new apps

[sc0ttman]

please note, although 3G, wifi and other drivers have been updated, this is still an old Puppy 4.2, with an old kernel, and if you need 3G or modems, of your wifi wont work, you probably want a newer Puppy.

[sc0ttman]

Just another note, hot plugging is disabled by default, you need to go to the event manager (Menu->System->Event Manager) to re-enable it.

Hot plugging is required for multiple drives icons on the ROX desktop, if that is what you want.

[sc0ttman]

another note (just to get rid of my multiple double posts ):

I tried this on my eee pc... it boots, but you shouldn't bother

[sc0ttman]

oops..

[sc0ttman]

To do for 3.0:

- make hot plugging of usb devices refresh the jwm-only desktop
- make jwm drive icons show different icon for usb drives
- enable hotplugging by default, if working on jwm desktop
- make 'refreshjwm' (fixmenus_on_locale) run create_jwmrc_drives.sh, if not ROX desktop
- add madwifi and hal drivers from tempestuous to zdrv
- add fixed and updated xorgwizard - will boot xvesa, no issues
- add a simple quickpet (will have nice puppy hosting by 3.0 release time)

Suggestions?

Then:

Make a version of Puplite with the Lupu kernel...
Or the Wary kernel... Or the Fluppy kernel.

Notes about newer kernel version:

- It will boot straight to Xorg, not Xvesa
- OTF-sfs-loading from goingnuts will not work, but gyro has made something very similar for newer pups
- The default versions of mksquashfs and unsquashfs will be reversed (from v3 to v4)

Barry K has made a new vlc no_gui, with great codec support, I'm also gonna try to get it working in Puplite 3.0...

EDIT: no go, at least not before a kernel switch...

For some reason, I can't scroll down. Pls tell me where I can download the 2.0


Thanks

Hello scOttman,

Thanks for your help, but I do not have to use the system remaster. The system is very good in the original.

Thank you, congratulations on the job!

Hi,

I tried a lot of network tools. But I don't succeed with my LAN connection. My onboard chip is VIA VT6102 Rhine II.

It works with all my other puppies, Lupus, Wary at least till Puppy 431.
