Macpup 525 & Macpup 528 & 528v2
backi , look inside the /root/working folder. If there is a folder in there called pkgtemp delete it. Then try to install the .deb . I tried installing xvidcap.deb from ubuntu repos. The first angelic theme .pet was packaged wrong and left a hidden folder in /root/working/pkgtemp which caused /pkgtemp to not get deleted after a package installation like it's suppose to. After I deleted that the .deb installed and ran fine. Don't delete /root/working .

How to install firefox 7 in macpup
How to install Firefox 7 in Macpup 525 and still keep Firefox 4.........
This is how I have it set up if you would like to try ff7....
First go here and download the firefox-7.0a1.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ ... est-trunk/
Then move it into /root/working and unpack the .tar.bz2 there. It will create a firefox folder. In there look in the icons folder. Copy or move the mozicon128.png into /root/icons . Then download my FF7desktopfile.tar.gz . Unpack that and move the firefox 7 .desktop file into /usr/share/applications. And you're good to go. FF7 will now be in the menu under internet. You can use either 7 or 4 and they will share bookmarks but when you switch they will show the first run window. Enjoy!!

Macpup 525
I did a frugal install of macpup525 by mounting the iso and copying
the files to a macpup525 folder then running grub4dos + editing the
macpup525 entry in the menu.lst file to pfix=nox,ram
Rebooting in macpup and choosing vesa 1024x768 + xwin then changing
the timezone and restart x.
Then ctrl-alt-backspace + reboot and create savefile in the process.
Rebooted into another pup and edited the macpup entry to pfix=fsck
Reboot again into macpup and loaded devx + kernel source sfs then
downloaded the xorg_high driver in quickpet.
Another reboot and then ctrl-alt-backspace to get to the prompt.
Installed the ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run proprietary
driver and entered aticonfig --initial and then xwin to get back to
the desktop.

Yeah I tried running vlc from a terminal earlier and it didn't say anything.
I then installed vlc 1.1.7 and that seems to work ok.
If I run Songbird from a terminal I get nothing.

We tested Quickpet a lot. Without issue. It just downloads the .pets. The install script is the same for PPM or just clicking on a .pet.
Good day again... Saturday should be great.
