Hi Zigbert Pup-Shots size issue is due to libImlib2, iif you remove that lib the pet package is 33kb
libImlib2 is used by many programs these day, even micko was talking about it a few months back for pwidgets I think it was. But I know where your coming from about justifying the size for one application been doing it myself with 2.14X.

Yes Galculator is great, if you click view, you can change it to 3 different modes, the default is the basic mode, then you have scientific, paper mode. If you wanted to have it scientific mode by default just change it then copy over the /root/.galculator config to the iso.zigbert wrote:ttuuxxx
Thanks a lot for the compiled packages!!!!
Uget is already in Puppy 4.3.1, but your pack is newer. I have included getez in Stardust. Is this doing the same as uget? I could possibly remove getez?
galculator??? I wonder why Barry never decided to use this galculator. I guess he has his reasons since it is added to the official repo?
Hopefully we manage in the future to give you a non-goth option using the global color schemes.

Uget will replace getez 100%+, also it will replace pwsget also. Since Uget has passwords and username support. SO you can remove 2 apps.
As for the goth mode lol, the taskbar and menu are great, just the apps are a bit difficult like rxvt and Geany, Geany is really hard to focus on the code.

Well glib is okay to change but you'll have to update a devx, and remove the older parts and add the newer ones.zigbert wrote:technosaurus
MhWaveEdit is already included for 008. - Thank you so much.
As ttuuxxx, I wonder about the glib. MhWaveEdit works with the old version. I see that your glib compile is much smaller, and that is of course interesting........but, is it safe ???

Stardust 007 on recalcitrant machine + my votes
Just succeeded in getting Stardust 007 working on a machine with a frustrating BIOS. (I've been unable to get it to recognize more than 256 MB of installed RAM, or any SATA or IDE drives. It only boots off one particular USB drive.) This has allowed me to get new information about the problems. Even ignoring eye candy, 007 is useful as a patched version of 4.3.1. I'd suggest a service pack pet for BarryK.
Galculator is my choice for calculator. In keeping with my name, I'm committed to using RPN mode calculators. Others leave me in doubt about what will happen when I press a button. (Will it perform one operation, or several that were already pending?) This one gives me a choice without denying others the choice of algebraic mode. Same thing applies to scientific versus ordinary or paper tape. Considering all the different calculators it can replace, this is very compact.
I don't like a lot of bells and whistles on screen-shot utilities. When I want to use them, I'm generally thinking about something else -- the thing I want to show. Zigbert's suggested modification sounds very satisfactory.
I'm familiar with the overhead in things using Imlib. Unless you have another reason to include these, I would remove them.
Having CUPS smoothly integrated into the release may change my whole attitude to CUPS. It is starting to feel like an asset. I'm still chasing problems in supporting more printers with minimum overhead.

Here's a mime update I only change the mimes that were actually smaller in file size, about 80% of them are changed. The only one which was a tiny bit larger was the pet package icon, like 1/2kb larger, lol
Also Zigbert if you really want to weed out some space, if you go to /usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons around 60% of them don't belong to anything, they are from a legacy linux icons from either X or fvwm95, I forget, I did sort them out once and sent Barry a updated icon pack, but he never used it, lol

here's a BMP package I just compiled on stardust
There are 2 versions a basic version and a tap/ladspa version, to use tap/ladspa you click on the preferences/Plugins/Effects then
tick the bock and select preferences,Then select one from the left side and click add, then click configure:) , you'll have around 20 plugin with tons of settings, I like the EQ one

This sounds a bit over my intentions. - I have not touched the devx. I'll leave it for now......ttuuxxx wrote:Well glib is okay to change but you'll have to update a devx, and remove the older parts and add the newer ones.zigbert wrote:technosaurus

I have to download it 007 again. sfs file corrupt it told me.
I was totally immersed in getting SuperOS going in frugal install.
By pure luck I must have managed to get all teh menu.lst info to be correct by mirroring what others had suggested for other linuxes.
Think it was a guy asking about how to do mint install and I could take that info and make it work for frugal too. It crashed some three times before I by accident got it right.
sorry back to Stardust.
I test it within an hour and give feedback from my HP/Compaq and maybe the Acer D250 too.
Edit from within Stardust 007 on my HP/Compaq
Wired worked, have no wireless on the desktop.
In Acer I failed to get the wired connection going.
Wireless has the led on so most likely it works but does not show the neighbors strength but the names of their locked accesspoints.
svtplay.se works good but nrk.no TV does not work. Plugin is missing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU1GrR5ET5k works very well fast and good sound but like always. Linux has lower output on same source.
shutdown of Acer takes longer time than usual.
But I really like the look of Stardust.

I'm posting from a full install of Stardust 007, it's looking very good so far, only a couple of minor quirks, or perhaps one quirk and a bug. The wireless icon in the main tray shows wifi as down although Pwireless 2 connects, a click on the icon changes it to active. More serious, when I select ' Power off ' at shutdown I get the ' Puppy is shutting down ' message for 5 or so seconds, then repeats of ' modprobe: FATAL: /sys is not mounted ', followed by ' requesting power down ' and ' system halted ' with a blinking cursor. I can shut the laptop down with it's power button, and it boots normally when switched back on. Any thoughts/suggestions?

I used stardust for about 7hr, lol every time I type stardust I type startdust, Like the 8 time already,lol
anyways all my desktop drive icons on the bottom disappeared, most the time on other puppy versions you click /root/.xinitrc and it refreshes them. Not with stardust, I had to restart X-server. But the second time loading live from the cd I had a desktop background.
All in all not a bad puppy version, a couple small quirks, but nothing serious.
