Thank you Ttuuxxx. I will make an announcement of your static Qt-4.63 on the first post so that people who are interested of compiling standalone Qt apps can find it there.
I will pm Dingo also later when you have uploaded your package.
Thank you again.
I just thought today that I should do that static compile and package it, but now I dont have to, lol.

Tempestuous announced new gtkpod-package for ipod, ipod-touch and ipad. The Gstreamer and gtkpod pets include same libs as I have installed but newer versions.
There is also plain music Player Eina, which uses Gstreamer libs.

Because of the recent turmoils in this nice forum, I have wallpaper which reflects the situation.

I forget to rename the wallpaper, but here it is what I thought it looks like.
And I support the basic idea. This post is just how I thought the penguins feel in that isolated iceberg.

Billtoo and Jim1911. Good to hear that it behaves.
Jim1911. Nice that the laptop of your wife gets good ride. I have no business to test puppies in the laptop of my wife. She has work laptop and strict restrictions of the use of her laptop. No way to install anything into it, no flash, only basic applications and her work stuff. I have tried to persue her to use Puppy from usb stick so that she could listen music, wathch movies and play flash videos for no avail.

[pemasu]

This is a very very good clean, well structured, distro. Thanks.

I enclose 2 reports. 1 referencing "at Boot" and the otehr referencnig video adapter "After Probe".

I sweltering in 90+ temps at night and looking at an Iceberg. Wow.

Before running off, I assume your JRE still is the way to go for PolarPUP and those of us who run Live media systems. Right, Mate?

Hope this provides insight.

Forum double post and other issues seem to have resided.

[pemasu]

Gcmartin.
The same java pet should be working currency still. If you install it and want to test something I have, there is in the Pets folder in the Smokey01 ftp site one more music app, jukebox called Jajuk.
I just tested that it works.
