Complete Trash
Here is the "Complete Trash" application. If no one complains of bugs, then I'd say it was ready for the index. It should work in any window manager and any version of Puppy. Let me know of any issues.
EDIT
Uploaded a new version (7-6-2005) Added "exits" to the code. This will keep it from hanging up when something like xmms is playing and the trash trys to play its own sound file.
EDIT #2
Uploaded an updated version. (7-10-2005) You can now drag multiple items to the trash simultaneously. The sound file will also not play at all if another application like xmms is using the sound card. This prevents the delayed trash sound.
EDIT #3
Uploaded a new version (8-30-2005) Used Puppian's idea to keep from restarting the pinboard. Now just the trash icon refreshes. This makes for a quicker refresh and helps a lot on slow hardware. It also works better with Rox 2.20 this way.

Trash dematerialiser
Tried the Trash dot pup on a brand new install of 1.0.3 and am having the same problem. I create a file in root. Drag to the desktop and then into the bin.
The file on the desktop changes to a white on red lettering icon which says "ERROR" - so the icon has been deleted but not this "Newfile" which remains on the desktop. Then I tried right clicking and "Empty the trash"
the Newfile entry in the dialogue goes but not from the desktop . . .
If I right click with ROX - I can "Remove the item"
We managed to sort some of it out on the IRC channel. Ian likes the dematerilisation sound the bin makes (this sound is very similar to what happens when rematerilising in a new dimension - so I am told)
using googlescraper (google without the ads)
http://www.scroogle.org/
you can get your bin to talk here: (mine already does but they are changing my medication)
http://www.naturalvoices.att.com/demos/
I am working on my own dot pup and hope to have it tweaked and ready soon. It is a strange piece of software . . . more details soon . . . You lucky Pups
The bin is very useful. You can mount a hard drive with a Windows partition and delete file after file - very therepeutic . . . should keep me amused for years . . .

desktop icons are not files ... they are lines in a config file ( /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin )
if you drag a file to the desktop, it makes a shortcut on the desktop
you can remove that shortcut by right clicking it and clicking Remove Item
if you drag the shortcut to the Trash shortcut, the file will be move to Trash ... the desktop shortcut will not be touched ... if the file is gone, the shortcut is no longer pointing to a file and it will show a red error message
in other words, you can't delete a desktop shortcut by dragging it to the Trash icon
for that matter, it is not easy to create, move, or delete desktop icons from another program, like a script

Quicktables 2.3 Firewall Script Generator
this asks questions, then creates a firewall script
that adds rules to iptables
Usually, you would run the script from rc.local
this will put the files in a folder called firewall-quicktables, in my-applications
(to uninstall, just delete the folder)
- nat and no nat (firewall only) options
- extremely newbie friendly while still secure and very feature rich

thanks for that explanation G2
Is there any way of making the bin behave in a way a kludge-brain like me would expect? It rather defeats the purpose of this easy to use option?
I want a bin and I want what I put in it to dissapear. Is it my fault that Linux has other ideas of how bins work? Tux save us all.

there are other desktop icon programs ... it's convenient to use rox for the desktop icons, because it's already installed
i don't think the Trash program knows whether a desktop icon or an icon in a rox folder was dragged to it ... i suppose someone could improve the Trash program so it checks if there is a desktop icon linking to any of the trashed files or folders, and if there is, it could edit the pinboard file in Choices to remove it from the desktop (and restart the pinboard so it will disappear) ... if a person was using his own pinboard file rather than the default Puppy pinboard file, that would make it trickier too

Monmotha Firewall 2.3.8
http://monmotha.mplug.org/
this will put a folder called firewall-monmotha
in the my-applications folder
you will have to configure and install the firewall yourself (not really difficult to do)
Puppy's Morizot firewall was setup as a simple firewall for standalone machines ... this has more configuration options, like NAT

BashBurn will not work properly with ash
Puppy 1.0.3 has bash
earlier versions of Puppy do not have bash
it may not work properly with bash ... it is intended to work with xterm (not rxvt) and the standard Gnu-Utils (not Busybox's cut-down replacements)
for example, the BashBurn scripts use the command setterm -clear to clear the screen ... Puppy doesn't have setterm, so i wrote a script to clear the screen when setterm -clear is called

ash to bash
Those wishing to try bashburn with Puppy 1.0.3 (Bash becomes the default in 1.0.4) are reminded to click on rxvt and type bash (remember to hit enter/return you blondes) This changes from the small compressed ash command set to bash
you will see the command line change to bash-3.00#
I was looking for xterm and wonder if mrxvt 0.3.13
(if not working with the standard rxvt) is worth trying?

I would try it but my recent dotpup experiments seems to have disabled
dotpup expansion . . .

concerning p2p
alienx created a good dot pup but i have recently visited giftui web page
http://giftui.sourceforge.net/
and it seems they added open ft and open napster more file sharing protocols for easier searching and better results I was wondering if we could update ours to what they have got
I know I know I'm always asking for stuff but if I new how and I have tried I would so please be patient with me

Nedit 5.5 Text Editor
this puts an icon in my-roxapps
click the icon to run nedit
drag the icon to the desktop if you want a shortcut
right click the icon for Help or to Uninstall
i did not change the default configuration
you can configure Nedit by editing /root/.Xdefaults
if you post a nicer configuration, i can put it in the dotpup
requires about 2.7 megs of space in /root
