You just download openoffice_301.sfs to the "/" folder of your harddrive (that where your pup_save is located).
Then you choose this sfs in the bootmanager and reboot - now you can use OpenOffice.
Very simple.
You also add Acrobat_301.sfs.
And devx_301.sfs.
And KDE_301.sfs.
You do?
No.
Because Puppy supports to load only 3 of them.
The solution:
You build one new, big personal sfs from them.
Sounds complicated?
Well, this is what I wrote this utility for.
Lets start:
First, be shure the files you want to use, are not mounted yet.
If they are mounted, uncheck them first in the bootmanager, and reboot.
Now start SFS-Combiner, and your favourite filemanager, like Rox.
Drag the desired files on the file-list:

Then click on the button below.
Now it will check, if all files can be mounted, and if you have enough temporary diskspace.
If so, then it copies the files from your .sfs files to a temporary folder, and builds a new sfs.
Then the temporary files are deleted again.
Important: then remove or rename new_xxx.sfs, or it will be overwritten next time!
(Fixme: should add a warning).

IMPORTANT:
To store temporary files, you must have a drive with a LINUX filesystem.
Windows drives do not work.
If you do not want to create a Linux-partition, try to format a USB-Stick with a Linux filesystem.
Use gparted or the comandline to do that.
This will do it for sda1 (WARNING: all files on that drive are DELETED!)

I just tested it in Muppy 008.2 (Puppy 301), but it should work in the "2" and "4" series, too.
UPDATE:
Here is a DotPET for Puppy 4 (Dingo).
It includes SFS-Combiner and GtkBasic003.

Tip for advanced users:
To add files manually:
edit:
/usr/local/SFS-Combiner/resource/buildsfs
Add after "#!/bin/bash":
Code: Select all
xmessage -center "You now could add some more files to $1/tempfiles/
click ok to build the sfs."
Before you click on "ok", you could add some files.
And here is a small tool to add PETs to a SFS:
