I was compiling libxine when I got an error about ffmpeg so I just downloaded the latest and compiled that first, anyhow, xine is a great application for watching dvd movies.ttuuxxx wrote:Hi Bill, I also compiled Xine-Ui and I didn't need to compile ffmpeg,libxine, nothing at all, just the Ui, anyways then I changed and compressed the theme, I changed the splash screen, I ditched the mimes, because they aren't needed, we already have mimes for the defaultmediaplayer etc. I ditched the sample video and replaced it with a system to puppy's video examples, I also changed the icons for better and smaller ones including some system links and made a .desktop for it.
It really does reduce the overall sizeand looks better

Oops: just noticed atsheldonisaac wrote: I just booted frugal 2.14X TOP-6, and am running Opera 10.63 (can I use 11.01?)
Is there any way that it can run under 2.14X? Ever?Opera 11.01-1190 sfs4 SFS package for Puppy Linux 5 series
I spent all day on this Opera version, lol I made it look like Firefox, I hate the default layout and look of opera, So I change some of the code, Icons etc. and look below what it looks like, I'm actually very impressed with it, It does not come with kde or Gstreamer deps, so I removed those related libs, It runs great, but I'm not too sure what isn't functioning without those extra deps/libs. Anyways it works like a charm.sheldonisaac wrote:Is there any way that it can run under 2.14X? Ever?Opera 11.01-1190 sfs4 SFS package for Puppy Linux 5 series

Good morning, ttuuxxx.ttuuxxx wrote:Hi sheldonisaac have you tried the opera pet I made? Also has anyone else tried it yet? I did spend most of the day on it, a little feedback would be nice, lol
I installed the full version of Opera the other day and have been using that when I'm not using links.ttuuxxx wrote:Also has anyone else tried it yet? I did spend most of the day on it, a little feedback would be nice, lol

Many thanks, ttuuxxx; your Opera pet works!ttuuxxx wrote:Hi sheldonisaac I never use sfs for any single files,I always use pets, sfs are great for the main iso and well that's where it ends for myself, I even convert the devx to a pet and install it that way. There is no reason at all to use a sfs for a 9MB application, larger apps like OpenOffice ya sure.
sfs compress files better than pets, around 20% +, so its a savings, but when they are only 9MB, really it doesn't matter all that much.
It looks like your save files are located in a directory folder , move them to the top level outside of any directory folder. that should help. I don't usually do frugal installs but I think I recall that older puppies didn't like directory folder saves.Sit Heel Speak wrote:Hello ttuuxxx,
I can't get 214x-top6 to boot, from a frugal install, on my Athlon64-x2. The live CD boots OK. Here is a screencap of how it fails. I have tried adding nosmp to the kernel line in menu.lst. Here is the boot line in menu.lst:
kernel /214x-top6/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd pdev1=sda3 psubdir=214x-top6 root=/dev/ram0 nosmp
Any suggestions?
As I recall, it was only when I put the Puppy files in the root of the partition that 214X booted OK.ttuuxxx wrote:This computer has an ASUS P5A motherboard and an AMD K6-2-450 processor, both from about 1999, I think.Sit Heel Speak wrote:Hello ttuuxxx,

I moved the Puppy files out of their directory to the root of the partition, and now Puppy 214X boots.sheldonisaac wrote: Haven't yet gotten it to work on the newish Acer Aspire One; maybe some of what you two have said will help.
Aha, that was the magic trick--don't put the Puppy files in a subdirectory (a psubdir).sheldonisaac wrote:...I moved the Puppy files out of their directory to the root of the partition, and now Puppy 214X boots...
