ISpup-Q120 is now available for download on the Downloads page. This is basically a "spit and polished" remaster of Quirky-120 NOP . (Thanks to Barry Kauler and PuppyLinux Forum member Gray) The IS in ISpup stands for "Industrial Strength" because I had previously remastered Puppy431NOP, and once I had it to where it satisfied all of my computing needs, it was, for me, "Industrial Strength." However this is not meant to imply that this Puplet is any better or more functional than others. The name "ISpup" was catching, so I stuck with it. I may release ISpup431 at a later date.
Changes-Additions I have made:
Pristine naming of all Menu entries (capitlization of titles and removal of some .desktop extensions that showed up in the menu)
Updated Firefox to version 5.0
Flashplayer 10.3 r181
Custom icons for Home and Trash
Some custom Menu icons
Installed "Wonderland" cursor theme
Some new backgrounds
Removed some XFCE themes, installed T-ish brushed theme (went with Stardust theme as default)
Installed Kompozer 0.8b3
Installed pupctorrent
SuperTux game (Thanks to PuppyLinux Forum member tuxxx)
Installed pwireless
Installed Broadcom wifi drivers (Thanks to PuppyLinux Forum member pemasu)
Installed pconvert
Fleshed out gparted with mtools and reiserfsprogs
Those Up and Down green arrows in the panel? Totally unnecessary but quirky feature. Download it to see what they do
One of the first things I noticed was that there was no readily available screenshot utility. A newcomer might not easily catch on to right-clicking and adding the Xfce screenshot applet, so what I have done is make a .desktop file for it. Also hiding in usr/bin was a second screenshot utility; the one that comes with mtPaint, so I made a .desktop file for that as well. I made a launcher in the panel with both screenshot utilities, so now there are not one, but TWO screenshot utilities at the user's fingertips. Also, these two utilities now also appear in the Menu under the Graphics category.
Removed the top panel. Another thing that I noticed was that xkill had no menu entry, so after deleting the top panel, I made a .desktop file for xkill which can now be found in the menu under System.
I have configured a Generic Monitor (genmon) applet in the panel to report the CPU temperature. The script for reporting the CPU temp is located in /usr/share/CpuTempScript. (Thanks to PuppyLinux Forum member GOXAN for help with this) Please note that not all hardware will support CPU temperature monitoring. If all you get is an F in the panel, then your hardware most likely does not support this, in which case you can simply remove the genmon applet and delete the above mentioned script is desired.
I remastered this with dougalremaster which I installed, however it requires the usual fixes and workarounds:
Must backup /root/.packages and restore these during the process, otherwise the Puppy Package Manager gets broken (they are hidden files; must enable Show Hidden Files)
Must rename pup-120.sfs to qrky-120.sfs (I used ISO Master after the ISO creation and Saved As option)
Must backup and restore help.msg and logo.16 to the puppylivecd build folder prior to creating an ISO.
I had created a DougalRemaster .desktop file, however I deleted it to prevent confusion should a newcomer to Puppy try to use it. However the executable pupremaster.sh is still in usr/sbin if advanced users wish to use it.
There are numerous tweaks to Firefox as well. Some themes, also moved the navigation buttons to the same row as the Menu to gain screen space. Used about:config to enable single-click selection in the address bar and also to make the keyboard Backspace key perform the Back navigation function.
