One less complication for the first alpha. I have already mentioned they will be in the second alpha.01micko wrote:Where are the JQ8 icons???? Only 27kb.

Saved for inclusion. That brings my list to 28 and still counting!rcrsn51 wrote:@WhoDo: Here are three issues.
Gottem! I'll give them a spin. If they work I'd rather include 1.1Mb of libraries than 4Mb, regardless of age.ttuuxxx wrote:I had MUT working on 4.1 with the tcl/tk libs from 2 series that I download from Eric's site, sure they might be older, But they work anyways and they are tiny
tcl 578KB

TK 568KB

thats a lot less than 4MB1.1MB
As long as it works I don't care which version.
Please remove them from the menu.Yes. MP and e3 don't really need to appear in the menu at all. I guess they're there to boost the impression that Puppy has everything but the Out house sink! We could lose them for usability's sake, IMHO. What does everyone else think?

help: help [-s] [pattern ...]
Display helpful information about builtin commands. If PATTERN is
specified, gives detailed help on all commands matching PATTERN,
otherwise a list of the builtins is printed. The -s option
restricts the output for each builtin command matching PATTERN to
a short usage synopsis.
YES! Great decision! It would be possible to reduce the size of the Tcl and Tk PETs (which already add up to slightly less than 4 MB) to some extent by leaving out demos and man pages; let me know if you want "runtime" versions (and tell me exactly how they should be named, e.g., tcl-8.5.5runtime.pet, or what).WhoDo wrote:Ok, that does it for me! I've got a shipload of tcl/tk games that I can't use in 4.2 as well, so that's a bonus! At 4Mb combined I'll find a way to shoehorn these libraries in somehow.pa_mcclamrock wrote:You guys are more than welcome to include my up-to-date Tcl and Tk 8.5.5 PETs, derived from the Slackware 12.2 packages, in 4.2 Unleashed if you wish
Yes; I don't think you're likely to dump SeaMonkey in favor of Opera, or AbiWord in favor of TextMaker 2002 (so I'll have to create a puplet that does), but let's see (I'm looking at what appear to be built-in packages in Puppy 4.1.1):Dropping hiawatha, PPLOG and a few other oddballs seems the obvious solution.
I would be willing to take a closer look at gnocl than I've yet done if there's someone who knows more about it than I do and can answer questions about it.Those who have been asking about a development environment for Deepthought, try tcl/tk and gnocl.

I suppose that you could argue that about rsync (which is a standard *nix command for making incremental copies/backups) and the chm viewer, but how can you possibly argue that about Samba and Pnethood? When a new user comes to Puppy he or she is going to expect to be able to see his/her shares on the other PCs.pa_mcclamrock wrote:Do Puppy users really need to have samba, pnethood, chmlib, chmsee, rsync, and gadmin-rsync built in? Aren't these packages of pretty specialized interest to "cognoscenti," such that anyone who needs the packages will have no problem finding them and installing them with PETget?
If that is all that they are used for, then I would think that they should be in the devx file, not the release ISO.pa_mcclamrock wrote:Likewise--this may be a bit more controversial, but--isn't the same true of glade3_DEV and glade2bas_DEV, which (I'm told) are needed only for the select few who write GTK2 programs, not for the many who run them?
I don't know. Try making a remaster without it and see if everything still works.pa_mcclamrock wrote:And is the Puppy BASIC interpreter actually used any more?
My opinion is that we can toss all the games, but that might make new users upset.pa_mcclamrock wrote:Are PicPuz and Xsoldier (over 1 MB together) such great games that everyone must have them?
I don't even know what he just said, what is nix and samba? LOL"I suppose that you could argue that about rsync (which is a standard *nix command for making incremental copies/backups) and the chm viewer, but how can you possibly argue that about Samba and Pnethood?
