The logo looks great
Truly off-topic: Have you tried Rakarrack. Fired it up yesterday......works well on stardust
I made a script to start jack first. Use jack_lsp to find your jack connections (if not the same as mine)

There has been so much testing of Abiword in front of Puppy 4.3.1, I have no intentions to change this package. Regarding the gray, you really have to change that. Stardust is the gray-pup.8-bit wrote:In Abiword, "Create and Modify Styles" crashes Abiword.
There is an updated version 2.8.1 that does not crash.
It took a little while to get rid of most of the gray color.
That was a little to much gray for me.

Ok....
I am currently setting up a full install of 005 on the "dino" (remember that one... IBM Aptiva, K6 400MHz, 128 ram..)..and so far so good
This to be the mother-in-laws box.. so lord help me if I get it wrong! It has been running 431 standard as a frugal install and performing well enough. A full install should be even better and I think it is a little easier for newbies, no need to resize pupsave or such. It has a 10GB drive so that should be plenty.
I think Stardust is good enough for an absolute newbie so we will see how it goes.
I have the E169 Huawei mobile modem connected and it was simple to set up ootb. Posting from it now. Works well.
The M-I-L only wants to do some simple browsing and e-mailing until she can afford a new computer so this will be a good intro machine for her. I will leave her with detailed instructions (and leave my phone off ).
How is your Mum going with Stardust ziggy? Any feedback?
Cheers.

Am I the only one having difficulty with this iso ?
I've downloaded it 3 seperate times now and each has same md5sum which is different to that given.
I burned a disk to check and it fails to boot early in process.
Disk has same md5sum but not the one given.
Checked each download and they are all 87meg not 99meg as first page.

Re: Failed to boot via CD or USB - "attempted to kill init"
Yes Puppy 4.3.1 boots fine, as do Lighthouse Pup 4.43 D, MacPup 3, and Boxpup 4.3.1. Very puzzling.zigbert wrote:Does Puppy 4.3.1 boot on the same machine?outtaspam wrote:Hi Zigbert,

pupRadio is now at version 0.5
I added command line support.
It plays the last played radio station when invoked with "-p" option.
Useful for new Startmount (coming soon), Pschedule.. Precord (if installed)

Initial tests on 005
I have jumped from 002 to 005 such is your speed!
I started however from a blank save file to give a clean install (frugal).
I copied my /root/.gftp and /root/.mozilla folders over from my production 431 frugal install to save time. I have lots of other pets to install eventually as well particularly a full Samba server.
I like the appearance and menus.
However a major requirement for me is connections to a Samba LANDisk and in this respect I can not get the new lameSMBexplorer to work. My shares have no username or password. It finds the shares after several refreshes but I cannot connect. It says to check my username/password..
Pnethood in 431 works great. Barry make some changes in 431 to do with CIFs (reported in his blog at the 431 time) which in previous puppies did not work (although I had a workaround) so I don't think there is a pet for the 431 Pnethood which I could install in Stardust005. Pity but this is a must for me. It looks to me like lameSMBexplorer is too alpha (0.1.1 alpha.!) at the moment (I have been following its thread so see there are still ongoing work being done by Patriot ) particularly in Stardust which I got the impression was to be conservative and not bleading edge?

Re: Failed to boot via CD or USB - "attempted to kill init"
I am puzzled. I don't know what I have touched. I don't know anything about unetbootin.....Will I get the same error if I install Puppy to a usb-dongle via Puppy universal installer? Is this the same error that Trio reported?outtaspam wrote:Yes Puppy 4.3.1 boots fine, as do Lighthouse Pup 4.43 D, MacPup 3, and Boxpup 4.3.1.

Hmmm, I thought I had built a damn good gui, but now both you and prehisotic have reported the same issue. Have you expected it to be similar to the earlier versions of Ptray, or is this simply crappy code. The picture shows how to add galculator as a new icon in utility tray. It will appear at bottom of list (at right in the utility tray). To remove one, click mouse-right-click on item at once (or the remove-button for info). Change position by dragging items up/down in list. Ptray helps you to freely build all your trays exactly the you want them.DaveS wrote:Been getting to grips with Stardust, but Oh Dear Lord, Ptray REALLY needs an 'add/change icon' option. It is currently a nightmare trying to add a button to activate a script.................. unless I am doing it all wrong of course
