all compiled from source and then packaged as tgz packages
on slaxer-pup also I needed to tweak wifi radar to work in the menu and run
this was a lot of work but if helps you get online its worth it
installs in

I don't have wifi but I built this for those who do
this is what slackware uses to set up wifi so its well documented and supported
http://wifi-radar.berlios.de/
http://wifi-radar.berlios.de/v1.x/
Note:I know that python and its add ons
are large packages but many special programs require it
for this reason I don't pre install it in slaxer-pup
but offer it as an add on package
*and since future development with puppy wifi is "iffy" to say the least
iit is better to have more solid options and those that have already set up wifi with wifi-radar will feel at home

Any chance this has been turned into a PET or a SFS?
I'd be interested for the Fluppy version of puppeee for Netbooks and for Lucid 5.1, or any current version of Puppy.

well ,I stopped making pet packages about 2 years ago
and SFS are really easy to make using tgz or txz packages
so it may be better I explained how to do it then just do it

You underestimate my ability to make a mess of the apparently-simple.
If I can get caught-up on some projects I will give the creation of a SFS from this a try ... unless someone gets it done sooner.

But first I will have to find out if this might cause problems for the other versions of Puppy. I imagine that Fatdog64 may be a challenge and perhaps Fluppy. Not sure about Lucid 5.1
Thanks!

P.S I'll upload a SFS so you have something to compare to " or just use"
http://puppy2.org/slaxer/wifi-radar-1.9.9-slxr.sfs
I'll do the same for python bbiab -->give it 10 minutes to upload
http://puppy2.org/slaxer/python-2.5.2-slxr.sfs
*well since its a sfs its safe since nothing gets physically over written
when removed /unmounted
