Macpup Opera 2.0
You should include the first two e17 pups ....Macpup Foxy E17 and Macpup E17. Gives a much better idea of just how far the e17 project of ours has come.
If you have a multi core computer I would recommend O2 or Fox 3. If not any of them should be fine.
O2 is just such a bigger step for us than the others cause of the way it was built. The next ones will be smaller unless I pack in more themes and backgrounds. What I want to do is pull alot of the office stuff out of it . Get rid of mt paint and seamonkey. But have the office stuff in an .sfs if you need it and have several other .sfs with audio and video stuff ect. built custom for macpup. That way its easier to download and customize for the user. I have learned that building a big fat pup with tons of extra apps is a bad idea. Takes forever to download and your making decisions for the user. Not Good. I think the best way to do it is just build a really good core system with lots of extra goodies on the side.

I'd like to have a dark Purple theme, but can't find one. The MacPup 2.0 theme in purple rather than blue would be suhweet

I have some problems with printing in O2. I tried to print to CUPS-PDF in Opera, or other applications like Abiword, but had never succeeded in creating a pdf file. I don't know where the output files are located. Probably the files have not been created at all.
I have tried to re-install CUPS-PDF, but it doesn't work. I have also tried to upgrade the CUPS to a newer version but it still doesn't work.
Anyone can give me some advice? TIA!

After clicking on print, it should take you to the printing screen, after selecting CUPS-PDF it should go to a status bar while its preparing to print. Then it will bring up a dialog to pick which folder you wish to save it to. Is this all coming up or does it quit before getting to the dialog where you can choose where to save?
I am not a Mac, not a PC... I am a Puppy. :idea:
The status bar shows up for a while and then disappears, but the dialog box asking the save path/filename does not come up.joel wrote:After clicking on print, it should take you to the printing screen, after selecting CUPS-PDF it should go to a status bar while its preparing to print.

I run O2 from a USB stick on an IBM Thinkpad X60.

once you connect to a real printer and go through the stuff all should be well for you mate..songzi wrote:I will try to connect it to a real printer and test the CUPS again.

joel: thanks for the suggestion
Quick update on the project : O2 is still performing great . We have settled around 55 on the last 7 days chart at DW . That 10-12 spots higher that fox 3 did. On the last 6 months chart we have moved up from 46 to 35.
I intend to build the next version on 4.3.2 by Ttuuxxx . We have always used or included lots of his stuff. The next version of E 17 should be out soon as well.We will see how that goes with puppy.
Lots of exciting things happening in puppy right now with Quirky and 'Lucid Puppy'. Kind of makes us the underdog. Thats cool !!!

Congratulations This is the best OS to ever run on this P2-266 w/ 288 MB ram HP laptop. It has seen a lot of linux in the last 14 years, but your version of puppy is the best. About 20 discs from DW litter the ground around me, including lucid puppy and quirky. For some reason, O2 is pretty much flawless
Except I would like to point the battery monitor at /proc/apm for the battery info, instead of /proc/acpi You mentioned a problem with compiling E, and a script fix for this release on that issue, where can I get at it so I can play?

Multiple ibars different apps
Multiple ibars with different apps
Right click your ibar >>> settings >>> add >>> name your new ibar source >>> ok >>> select new source >>> set up >>> add the apps you want on this new ibar
Now add a new shelf and position it, remove default gadgets if you wish and add ibar gadget >>> apply >>> right click this ibar >>> settings >>> select your new ibar source >>> apply
You can go to shelf settings where the new ibar resides and assign it to only one specified workspace if you wish. Catagorize your workspaces and have corresponding ibars with apps reflecting that catagory e.g. office etc.
This may seem a bit much but on a netbook with a small screen it can be handy.
Cheers
