Racy NOP 5.2.2
Racy NOP 5.2.2
Nearly Office Pup is an XFCE based puplet, so called because it is a no frills pup without office apps. The idea being that you install to USB pendrive and add an SFS file of the office package.
Racy NOP 5.2.2 is based on the recently released Puppy Racy 5.2.2 with JWM and Rox removed and replaced with XFCE4.6.2 and Thunar.
Note I tried XFCE4.8.3 but had lots of issues - especially with the new Thunar and gvfs dependency hell. Still not mature enough for any real use.
Also
Seamonkey suite replaced with Opera 11.52
Added modified Pwidgets
Removed Geany, Notecase, Homebank, Planner, Ayttm, Osmo, Inkscapelite, Games and of course Abiword & Gnumeric.

Also at same site is LibreOffice3.4.4.sfs and NVIDIA-290.10-k3.0.7.pet
update to revision 1 Jan 16 2012:
racyNOP-5.2.2r1 is a small update, upgrading Opera to V11.60 and adding lmsensors, and xarchive unrar and 7z capability.

Hi gray
Many thanks for this - absolutely fantastic.
Flies on my old Acer TravelMate 243LC laptop. Manual frugal to ext4 and a 800mb swap partition.
256mb ram, 2.5Ghz Celeron Proc. Wifi via pcmcia Belkin card.
Nice to see Opera and xfce/thunar - outstanding combination.
Initial setup to desktop etc, is so easy and intuitive - superb.
Greatly appreciate all you do for us with NOP.
Very best regards - Ray

Congratulations
The NOP is one of my favorite!
Some of the packages was the compilation error. The Lupu 5.2X version of localization is very simple: package manager - system - Langpack - mouse clicks and you're done. (Of course, refinements remain, but it did so almost automatically the Rexbang the Macpup etc. puplet case. Too bad it was just a Geany out of it, but I did return. I like that the latest kernel in it.
The RAM is very low.
Congratulations, this will be the Hungarian edition.

As others have said, thank you for all you have done. Can't wait to try this out. Rob
Racy NOP 5.2.2
I did a manual frugal install to a gateway desktop pc.
I added xineplus-racy-i686.sfs,vlc-1.1.12-racy-i686.sfs,
and seamonkey-2.5-racy-i686.pet.
Everything is working well.
Thanks.

Please can AnyBody Help w/ Getting Compiz Working w this Tha
& I've Done a Dependency Check on these Packages. No Problems there. Also the NVidia Splash Screen Displays
Here is the Output from Terminal
# compiz
compiz (core) - Error: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
Or Might Newer Updated Packages be Required 4 the New 3.07 Ke*nel?
Thanx in Advance!

I noticed that restartx doesn't work, /usr/bin/restartwm kills the panel where in Quirky it kills the session, the scripts are identical accept for one difference
and this is the quirky one
Just edit restartwm with the Quirky code and it will work, with this now working it is possible to add a entry to the menu to restart the window manager, /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu needs to be edited add this line
so that the menu script looks like this, you will find it listed at line 29
Next a desktop menu file needs to be created in /usr/share/applications, open that directory and create a new file and name it restartwm.desktop and paste this code and save it.
Now a icon is needed for the menu, I couldn't find one in the icon theme, so I made one, it needs to be placed in /usr/share/icons, just right-click and save the image below.
let me know if it don't work, though it should

Having always been a fan of gray and the NOP releases I now find myself disappointed - not a criticism of the release but the fact that I can't run this version on my laptop - as it is based on Racy it requires a processor with pae support but that means the centrino family (or at least the one this Dell Latitude 600 uses) is a no-go.
Is there a way of recompiling the kernel to not require pae and still using the rest of the system? Is this easy to do? ... and then I just replace the initrd.gz/vmlinuz with the non-pae version and keep the puppy_racy.5.2.2.sfs as it is?

Follow the guide in the link above and you can replace the kernle you're using with one from another Puppy ISO...

These have a 400MHz FSB which doesn't work with PAE.
Think I'll try that kernel switch on Racy and Saluki when I
get some time.
Good luck.
Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.
Eeepc 8g 701, 900Mhz, 1Gb ram.
