I compiled Inkscape-0.48.1. It needed gsl library, which i compiled staticly and Boost c++ which I downloaded from slackware repo. I didnt understand much of that library. There was no compiling option, so that is why the repo download.

The size as pet was twice which Ttuuuxxx did in Wary: 14 Mb > 7 Mb.
So i was half as good as Ttuuuxxx. Well...lets see after ten years...if you want to wait.....

Maybe there is Ttuuuxxx trick to reduce the size more...so I wont upload Inkscape yet.

Success.

Using a pre-alpha on a day to day basis is a challenge.
For example what if your foreign language film does not play the subtitles in the default viewer?
Can we fix it. Yes we can.

Well you can download VLC (with all the dependencies) from Slickpet (and then pull down menu and Puppy package manager)
click on spup
and then make sure you add the subtitles in VLC.

- easy when you know how . . .
I was trying SFS and portable linuxapps and
even Lucid packages (yep why would that work?)
Tenacious but dumb, I am probably ideal test material . . .

Broadcom wireless hybrid driver. Pet is prepared according to Piratesmack original pet and howto use you can find from his thread for this driver. Only the wl.ko module is compiled using 2.6.35 spup kernel source.

Ttuuuxxx. The size problem wasnt my compile and stripping. It was those examples and tutorials subfolders which were huge.
I moved them with man pages to the DOC pet.
I got quite sized down now Smile

Inkscape-0.48.1-spup.pet is 6.35 Mb now.

Spup-121.02 running nicely on my desktop machine Pentium 4 dual core 3.0ghz processor
Asus P5QL/EPU Motherboard
1gb Kingston ram
Geforce En210 graphics card but seem to be having troubles with flsynclient running on an Acer Aspire One netbook model D250-0Bk.
Everything boots as it should from a usb 8gb flash drive.Sound and a network connection present.
However,after setting up flsynclient the way I like it,it wont remember it's settings and I have to reset them at each boot.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll get some time to play around with this, test it out, and do some compiling. I've been so busy with work I havent had time to play with it at all.

I did have one request. By default Puppies have not shipped with 'lsof'. Is there anyway you can include that? It really helps when trying to help a user locate a problem to be able to have them run it. Trying to talk them through compiling it and then running it kinda makes what should be easy assistance... well hard.
Other small programs that would help with helping others troubleshoot their system is htop, iostat, and iotop. (iotop requires python, dont know what built in python support you will have in the release)
Also if it would be too much of a hassle... bash-4.2 instead of 4.1. The bugs in 4.1 are an annoyance.

I think all together these would be less than 1mb in size (over what puppy natively ships with), and would enable us to get more information from people with problems, due to the amount of system info we can get from them. More info = better troubleshooting and support.

Oh yea and while I'm thinking about this... will this include the newer and quicker snapmerge script that the forum worked on?

Here I compiled it Smile

Just give them the link to download it.

jim3630.. did you reboot? Often a good idea when installing a wireless driver. You may want to try the Dougal Network Wizard too. SNS fails every time with some hardware.

Thanks pemasu for your compiles. I think Broadcom can go to the repo, and Inkscape, that's cool, but will definitely try gparted in the iso. The current ver we have is a bit buggy.

Thanks ttuuxxx for lsof, small enough to include .

lsof_4.84-i486.pet working ok
libreoffice sfs from slickpet installed and working - without rebooting - good stuff Smile

If wishing to view thumbnails (I think this is a standard Woof feature now - or just Spup?)
right click on image in rox box and select display/show thumbnails
Unless you have a slow machine you probably want this on - then click on the + icon in the rox box to make them bigger

After a heavy day of lifting, testing or programming
make sure you are sitting, breathing and relaxing the back.
Back pain is rife. The woman in the pic looks as if she has died - interestingly, it is called 'The corpse' in yoga.
This posture (nobody ever believes this but it is true) is one of the most important and useful. A standing version is available in Qi-ong and other pre-martial exercises but that is another story . . .
A more macho corpse version preferred by one of my karate teachers, is to cross the feet at the ankles and place one hand on the other at the belly. This gives a sense of protection - allowing the back to relax.
Yep, some of our developers are real macho men
but they need to watch their backs . . .

Normal functioning is now resumed . . . Idea

About snapmerge. I think Barry Kauler has added his modified version of faster snapmerge into the woof. I had severe problems with forum posted version. If I recall right people with usb booting get problems with saving and even corrupted savefiles. But that was with lucid based Snow Puppy.
I reverted back to the woof applied snapmerge and I havent got any usb saving reports since then. Well, that is just hunch, but...
