PSI: Puppy Software Installer 07
Yes that works.
It's working nice, the uninstalled packages being brown, the ones installed yellow.
But the drawback is, that the downloaded package is no in dotpups-downloads, thus taking space from the pup_save file and that's why I created the symlink.
So I am happy to see you use a usb hard drive for this. This is a direction I wanted to take as well having a desktop and a laptop. A usb hard disk would serve for files to be accessed from Linux as well from XP and from the laptop as well from the desktop.
My usb device is that Zen Micro removable drive, which isn't a hard drive but a kind of flash device I think.

Well that's the strange thing I always have noticed in Puppy.
My usb devices have sda or sdb
The second usb device I have being a 6-1 card reader device build in the all-in-one EPSON printer.
In other distro's they are sdaX or sdbX.
Never understood why I didn't have that in Puppy..
So right now in MUT the Zen Micro is mounted as sda without any other digit.
This Zen Micro device has always be a bit strange, altho I can access it, well except in the case of the PSI.
Mut sees the device as sda.
Gparted sees a /dev/sda1 partition on /dev/sda device.
But when I try to mount the /dev/sda1 I get the message that the device /dev/sda1 doesn't exist.
Puzzled.

version 05
new:
1.) fixed bug in sorting subcategories
2.) added the current ibiblio unleashed-packagelist to the mirrorlist.
This is a static workaround until this list can be generated automatically.
Before you had to add it manually, see version 04.
3.) the dependency-check now tries to find packages, where the missing library belongs to.
The old report looked like this:
I will add a automatic search later, this is a bit complicated.
This list is based on 9 lists sent to me by other users (thanks everybody ).
Please send me more files, to enhance the list, details:

The old report looked like this:
The new one:Dependency-check for: Epdfview-0.1.5
These libraries miss, the application might not work without them:
libpoppler-glib.so.1
so if you enter "Poppler-0.5.3" in the search, you can install the missing package immedeatly.Dependency-check for: Epdfview-0.1.5
These libraries miss, the application might not work without them:
libpoppler-glib.so.1 : found in package Poppler-0.5.3
libpoppler-glib.so.1 : found in package Poppler-0.5.3-Puppy-210
I will add a automatic search later, this is a bit complicated.

Puppy Software Installer Icon
Hi Mark and other pups,
I've attached an effort at making an icon of your PSI program. I used Xara to do the design, but cannot figure out how to get rid of the white background.
Anyway, I figured that since Puppy is Australian in origin, I thought "why not a boomerang" for at least one icon to represent a great utility program that really is Puppy specific.

Any comments, or how to's on getting rid of the white area?

It requires pkgtool, that is not checked correctly when installing a deb.
Solution:
install a .tar.gz first with PSI, for example
System_Utilities/PB_debianinstaller-beta01.tar.gz
That installs pkgtool, too.
Then you can install debian-packages listed in PSI, like Desktop-Tools/oneko_1.2.sakura.6-1_i386.deb
To install a .deb not listed in PSI:
drag
/usr/local/bin/pb-debianinstaller on your desktop.
Now you can drag and drop .debs on it.

ok i did what you said and that extra pkgtool package installed, but I had pbdebinstaller first (uninstalled it to install psi)
the reason I installed psi is because pb-deb cant start ghtppd and so cant work - after looking on the forum I was directed to psi that said in the first page of posts that it had a deb installer - i assumed I could install any deb with it
ghttpd is configured for localhost other than that I dont know what the problem is

Then your installation is broken, that file is part of the Puppy-iso.Unable to open "/usr/lib/wxbasicscript/basefunctions2.inc"
To repair it:
http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/di ... 2.5.tar.gz
Extract it somewhere with xarchive, and copy basefunctions2.inc to the correct location. (/usr/lib/wxbasicscript/basefunctions2.inc).
That is ok, as it was started already before.
It just tells you, that the webserver runs already.
Mark
ok - did that, but same problem -
sh-3.00# pb-debianinstaller
sh: line 0: cd: /tmp/PB-Debinstall: No such file or directory
Null httpd 0.5.1
then a message says "widget needs webserver, stast it [yes][no]
clicking no exits, clicking yes gets this:
Binding to 'http://localhost:80/'...
Bind error: Address already in use
and another message says "Ghttpd could not be started, exiting..." [okay]
at this point it stops
sh-3.00# pb-debianinstaller
sh: line 0: cd: /tmp/PB-Debinstall: No such file or directory

Just discovered this program
All I can say is WOW.
I've been using puppy for about 3 weeks now and JUST found this beta program. It is awesome, really helps to simplify installs; especially with the debian package support.
Thanks,
Kevin
PS - I think this should DEFINITELY make it into the ISO; hopefully by the next revision
