Not as difficult as it would have been before you produced that script. :P
I hope it helps--note my very recent edit (you'll want /root/.packages/unleashed as the directory for the file lists to go into, I think, but if not, substitute whatever directory you do want).
I think the thing to do is to keep Remaster Express as a "surprise" inclusion for the release candidate. By then I will be certain of which packages and which versions of packages will be included. Not only will there be a feature lock but also a package update lock. That should allow us/you the window of opportunity to include your program and get some sort of testing done before we release Final.
Thanks! I'll keep an eye out and try to work up the 4.2 version really fast once I get the final package lists.
It's stupid to use inferior software for ideological reasons.

- using pwget rxvt-output is 'not' readable (no aesthetics;-) )
pwget is Lobster's creation. I have no idea why the call to rxvt is producing white-on-white with wget. Sorry. :?
All I have to say to that statement 'Lightbulb goes off' :idea:
WhoDo you are the one to blame for this error and also Pawdioconverter, woooooo I can see the clock wheels spinning now, lol ok I'll stop being pricky now, (long day with the wife, :) )
The problem is when you changed the background on rxvt from white to black, some programs like rxvt and pawdioconverter were only using half of rxvt default settings,
pawdioconverter had a light orange default background with a black rxvt text colour, which looked great when it was developed but they never figured WhoDo whould go and change the font colour to white on light orange, hence nono #1,lol
nono#2 lobster and his creation he sets the background to almost white colour and uses rxvt's default black, and once again WhoDo colour change to white font, messed that up also.

So when you say WhoDO 'I have no idea why the call to rxvt is producing white-on-white with wget. Sorry. :?' Really the lightbulb hasn't been turned on :idea: , or has it now? Lol ttuuxxx
Sorry WhoDo it was fun, I like it when ever its not just me with a blond moment.
I also fixed pwget, But I might spend a bit more time on both of them and see if I can change the font permanently.

Actually, as soon as I posted that response I thought to myself "I'll bet that's because of changing the default colours for rxvt" ... :oops: *sigh* . I'm glad you're going to look into it because I didn't want to change them back ... too nostalgic for my DOS prompt I guess! :wink:

It's ok to get your jollies off me, ttuuxxx. I've got broad shoulders (and a broad @r$e for that matter! :P ).

panzerpuppy wrote:Is the new Puppy 4.2 configured with SMP / multicore support?

The latest official release (4.1.2) with the 2.6.25.6 kernel was still configured the old way (without SMP).Is this one any different? Are we going to have SMP support for the first time with this release?
Short answer ... No, there is no SMP support in Puppy 4.2 DeepThought. :shock: Since this is the first official release without Barry at the helm, it was thought best to stick with the standard kernel options and just build a user-friendly, relatively bug-free release for the first attempt. Honestly, I've got my hands full juggling package updates, bug fixes and usability requests without adding SMP into the mix. :roll: Sorry, panzerpuppy. Maybe another time, eh?
Really SMP does add a lot to the size of the kernel, If I recall it was 5+MB, I really don't think it would be in any of the main releases, I could be wrong, but it might be better for the spinoff versions you were talking about earlier WhoDO.

i've compared 2.6.25.16 standard with the smp-version from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=253482 (this is the one i actually use at home):

extracted:
regular: 68 MB
smp: 71 MB

compressed with dir2sfs:

Well in that statement I did say I could be wrong and guess what I was,LOL
Actually there were a few smp kernels, Mu did one and jcoder24 did, I think if you find Mu's version it was larger, But still isn't late in the game to start testing a kernel? The page you quoted only has a few responses on it, Maybe a double final release, one at 99mb the default release and a larger 100MB smp 'TESTING' release, that way we can say puppy is under 100MB, or have the larger smp and remove gnumeric and it would be well under 100 MB :) anyone who wants it could just install it via the package manager anyways.

Correct. I guess you've already got the updated script.

You could of picked a background? Blue or white???
I don't want to pick the wrong one and make 3 packages just to do it all again.

also what do you think of libburn, cdrkit, libisofs and replacing Pburns dependencies with them ? From what I've read they produce less errors and work better in general.

From Aragon's post here and my post here, I guess that someone's decision to change rxvt's letter color from black to white is causing unanticipated trouble. :?

yes thats true, and I'm trying to fix each application that you can't read, but I'm just wondering on the backgrounds for the applications, did you like the Blue or White that I posted, ?

Ok, ok, I'll go first!

I don't like either. Too much contrast hurts my eyes.
My opinion...light gray background, with black font.

Thank aragon :)

I think whodo is using my png, The one I apatched with apng, so firefox3+ users can have animated apng viewing, apng is a new format of png, it doesn't come by default, you have to find a patch and patch the sources first for it to work, then compile , it works a lot nicer than gif images, water actually flows, etc. So I wouldn't upgrade to your version unless you've patched it first. :)
