I compiled latest Qupzilla-1.1.8. It has inbuild RSS reader and adblock.
Private browsing mode also. Pet size 1.6 Mb. For it`s size it is really promising. Five themes included. NLS as separate pet.

Thanks for the Qupzilla update pemasu! The cosmetic issues I mentioned earlier re icons and address bar entries are solved now - works absolutely fab in an Anglofied Hungarian XP 528 puppy from skami and kros54 (XP Puppy 528 HU 2 - Hungarian Puppy Linux HQ: http://skami.homelinux.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=432:xp-puppy-528-hu-2&catid=8:puplet shame - they seem to be offline )
I hope to try it soon in PolarPup005 on my T60 ThinkPemasu,
Cheers!

Remove all else but leave vattery-acpitool row.
Now you should have Vattery in tray after launching the 1vattery script or restarting X.
When you right click the Vattery in tray...you can change the preferences. |
YESSSSssss! Instant gratification! (Just took a while for me to get around to it on the Lenovo T60)
Thanks so much for that tip, pemasu. I had nearly forgotten all about it until I rebooted earlier today and saw all the fsck ing going on for the sfs and savefile. This is a major weight off my mind now - thanks

Hello, pemasu.
I don't know if this has been noted before... The icewm menu seems to be losing the "desktop" section when you update it with fixmenus.
Best regards.

Road tested Polar 5 today, it doesn't recognise my PCI wireless adapter-
Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
It also came up with an error before x-server starts, something like
FATAL: cannot load module usdhid
don't know if that's related.
I want to compile qtractor for polar as it already has qt built in.
Any suggestions appreciated . . .

Nah. Usbhid has been compiled statically. Most recent Puppies have usb modules compiled statically, not as modules any more...
If there is interest to get your wireless working....I would need output of lspci -nn and posted the wireless row.

This is the wireless device - its detect by Lucid 5.28 and 5.29
00:09.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02)
maybe its a missing driver
i think these are the modules in Lucid-
b43 132145 0
mac80211 123470 1 b43
cfg80211 98953 2 b43,mac80211
search b43 in system files reveals-
/lib/firmware/b43
/lib/modules/2.6.37.6/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43
/lib/modules/2.6.37.6/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.37.6/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy
/lib/modules/2.6.37.6/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy/b43legacy.ko
/lib/modules/all-firmware/b43legacy.tar.gz
/lib/modules/all-firmware/b43.tar.gz
can I just copy these across?

darkcity. No need. Your chip 14e4:4318 is one of those which /etc/init.d/BC-wl script unfortunately thinks that you will need wl driver. But you need b43.
So....simply remove /etc/init.d/BC-wl and reboot. After that b43 should be recognized and autoloaded.
That script just tries to recognize those broadcom chips which needs wl but it is not perfect.

Hi pemasu
enjoying polar pup, it seems good at picking the internet which has been a problem.
I've managed to compile qtrackor, although not with all its features function yet.
How do a turn the shutdown cd warning message off? couldn't find the settings

Hey...that is great....to get Qtractor to compile...not bad at all.
I am not sure if the Pupshutdown has a option in the version I used in Polarpup. But if you download latest Pupshutdown...it surely has it. Also the cd asking is off as default in latest Pupshutdown. It should be behind settings icon again settings icon and the settings....setting 3 times...at least in this latest Pupshutdown.

Hi Master Wrong,
It is certainly worth a try,
for qtractor I had to install developer library first:
libqt4-dev
and all its dependencies (which is plenty)
USE PPM to find libqt4-dev (it may be in the ubuntu repositories so enable them)
Without that I got error - needs qt4.2 or greater
good luck

I test compiled Bino in Dpup Exprimo. It went fairly smoothly. The problem. Bino uses ffmpeg for video decoding and I am afraid my compiled ffmpeg-0.9.1-git version is not up to date for video decoding in this level.
It needs ffmpeg => 0.7 and it needs more video options enabled that I have.
So....I can start Bino...but my ffmpeg does not play anything. Bino crashes because of that.
I dont see any problems why it would not compile in Polarpup. I am not sure if Polarpup has definitive enough /etc/profile.d/qt4 exporting file for compiling Bino, but I can upload the working version today.
I just dont have time now to use Polarpup. Heavily attached to kernel compiling.
