KDE for Testers !!!
Hi all, a brilliant effort by everyone involved!
However... I can't get a puppyKDE live disc built. I can't have a pupxxx on this computer as it's ntfs and puppy has broken it once already! I can't seem to remaster a live cd in ram on my other computer (have managed it with 1.0.6, but can't seem to get it happening today with 1.0.7).
Has anybody seen an iso of puppy+KDE on the web somewhere?
Alternatively is there anybody here who would be prepared to build + host one?
I know I'm asking an awful lot, but puppy is the nearest I've ever been to being able to say goodbye to MS forever. It works perfectly on my home laptop with dialup, where almost no other distros will even run. The only problem is that I've fallen in love with KDE and anything else just seems... well, not nice.
Thanks for all the hard work, regardless.

I was considering creating a KDE-Puppy iso but life got in the way. I may still get to it sometime after Grafpup-102 (coming in about 2-3 weeks).
The best way to do this would be to create it from scratch using PuppyUnleashed. Unfortunately you can't do this at all from within an ntfs partition.
I may be re-formatting my entire hd soon and installing Vector Soho, so I would be able to build an iso on that. I'm using my company laptop for Grafpup right now and it's only got 2 gigs of linux space that I snuck in, so I can't fit two versions of Unleashed in at the same time (let alone leaving room for compiling apps for Grafpup).
If someone else is interested in trying this then don't wait for me to do it. Go ahead and get it done.

im about to attempt installing kde (from .pup at top of page)
hope it works.. i prefer kde
is te usr-more.sfs essential? i have a hard disk install of puppy (no pup.000 file at all) and am unsure about mounting that sfs..
i will if it has to be. but all i want is a nice kde desktop instead of the basic puppy one...

yes, you need both.
Note, this is a older, reduced version.
The most complete actually is:
http://dotpups.de/puppy-releases/Megapu ... README.htm
That was made for Puppy2, but if you extract the files, it might work too in a harddriveinstallation of Puppy1.

You should have a program:
/usr/local/Puppy-wxB-menue-0.8/Puppy-wxB-menue
That displays the JWM-menu with a different method.
It is quite old and might not work, if you installed programs with my debian-installer.
Alternatively install the XDG-menus .desktop -files, then many (not all) of Puppys programs appear in the KDE-menu (but without icons):
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/WindowManager ... system.pup
I made it for Icewm, but it works with KDE, too.
