The extra libraries that contribute to the larger-than-normal ISO size is the reason that it's possible to take Ubuntu Lucid Lynx packages and easily (usually) build a pet from them that's simple to install for the average end-user (one click on the pet). So the extra 30MB is a good trade-off between size and usefulness.

If you are recommending a version of Puppy to anyone, this aspect of ease of creation of good pet packages, is a good reason for recommending Lucid Puppy.

If I get the time I'll look into getting the Flight Gear flight simulator running as a pet.

I made a tool (see my signature) that makes it super easy for anyone to make a pet or sfs out of debs, if you want you can try it and maybe suggest where I can make improvements. debs2pkg or alien2puppy, the former is what it says and the latter supports Slack tgz and txz formats.

James C and tubeguy were busy making packages and James managed to get at least 1 in the repo, arora, a neat qt, webkit browser, and don570 liked it too.

Basically all it does is run a loop to unpack the debs in a folder, has an option to strip, has a pause to give you a chance to sort out the .desktop file and icon then runs mksquashfs or petget. It has a help option too, all command line but I tried to word it very simply with error messages if you make a boo boo and just a splash of colour for fun. (There is also a fun version of debs2pkg called debs2pkgfun which gives you a little reward at the end. courtesy of Pizzasgood). It may be a time saver for you, though I know you are professional programmer

Excellent!

Questions:

1. How did you do that?

2. What is the value of the various time settings? I have not yet seen an occasion where I wanted anything other than instant.

3. What do I do with the "111" to program the PrtSc key?

#! /bin/bash
export MAIN_DIALOG='

<vbox>
 <text use-markup="true"><label>"<b>Scrot</b>"</label></text>
 <pixmap><input file>/usr/share/pixmaps/gtkam.png</input></pixmap>
  <text use-markup="true"><label>"<b>Screen Shot</b>"</label></text>

     <button width-request="130">
       <label>Selection</label>
      <action>exec scrot -s &</action>
       <action>exit: scrot</action>

      <button width-request="130">

playdayz wrote:Hey tubeguy and stripe, Using Audacious--pet on page 128--I was able to 1) play music with my m-audio card on my big machine, and 2) play music with my extigy on my p3 thinkpad. Neither were the first cards--and nothing else would even acknowledge the extigy or play through the m-audio. What I did is discussed in the post with audacious. I bet it might play your turtle beach usb card tubeguy. With Audacious I do not need to block any cards--I can choose between them.

Dejan555 just made an XFCE 4.6.2 pet for DPup so it probably wouln't take a lot of tweaking to make it work in 510.
