Chinese input and Puppy NOP3.01

I have installed Puppy NOP 3.01, but my old Chinessupport.pup doesn't seem to work with it - although it did when I ran Puppy217.
Is this a kernel problem? Any hope of an update?
What I want to do is input pinyin and get the appropriate simplified character, in Abiword, but I don't want the whole ChinesePuppy ( no disrespect - it's a great puppy!).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
谢谢

Oops - I just noticed nyu's post saying that Chinessupport.pet probably won't work with Vn3.00 because it has a different kernel fom 2.17.
Dare I hope someone will fix it for Vn300? Sorry I don't know how to do it!

thank you Eric for your hard work,
also thanks Soupbean,
Marcel, I'll probably make a .pet for the Chinese support,
Also I have got an answer to this question,
first download them:
chinese_input-0.01.pet
fcitx-3.0.2-1.i386.rpm
then put any Chinese fonts in /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF,
click on the chinese_input-0.01.pet in the rox-filer and install it,
and then type this in terminal:
#rpm -i fcitx-3.0.2-1.i386.rpm
at last, modify /etc/profile & /root/.xinitrc, add this to them:
Code: Select all
export LANGUAGE="zh_CN.UTF-8"
export LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8"
export XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"
export GTK_XIM_MODULES="fcitx"
export QT_XIM_MODULES="fcitx"
OK, done!
Restart X and you might be able to use Chinese input in Puppy 3.01

One way for downloading reliably is use wget in console.
- copy the download link and paste to a text page (say, in leafpad)
- highlight the download link (keep it highlighted)
- open a terminal* and type as well as do these keystrokes:
wget SHIFT INSERT ENTER
which will start the download
* It will be best if you go to the folder where you want save the file then right-click in Rox to open the terminal window.

Hi to all Chinese-speaking Puppy users
I've tried to update the Puppy wiki page for Chinese Simplified:
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/ChineseLanguageS
I hope it is more up-to-date now; I've added Caneri's mirror for Chinese Puppy software and the E-Pup forum, as well as deleting some of the out-of-date links.
Please make any improvements/translations you can.
also there's the Traditional page that needs help

Hi klu9,
Thank you a lot.
Also, could you please do me a favor to replace the old screenshots of Chinese Puppy with the new ones from E-PUP Linux?
Regards,
