I haven't set up this version yet. But once you've set it up you'll probably find menu items for handling SFS/Squashfiles. The LibreOffice SFSes available for Puppies will work, using those tools, in DebianDogs. Including LARGE applications such as LibreOffice which are frequently updated by their original publishers runs counter to the Puppy/DebianDog philosophy that such applications are best loaded as Squashfile rather than installed.quirkian2new wrote:...The sfs is over 600MB but still no libreoffice...Seems no SFR's uextract /packit/Take a shot which i use every day.
I'd be surprised if there wasn't some screenshot utility and an archiving utility already built in, even if not TAS and Packit. As a general rule, pets can be installed into DebianDogs, but using native applications is less likely to generate problems. One of the ways to configure the boot-options for the debiandogs is "Save --Ask on Exit" which will enable you to select "No Save'. [May not be the 'proper name', but you'll get the idea once you reviewed the boot options]. That's the way I always run Dogs. But if you prefer something else, you can just add it as a seperate stanza on your boot menu. I recommend you use that option anytime you want to experiment with installing pets. Install, test, if a problem, don't Save.
Regarding UExtract, fredx181 and don570 created debs for both 32 and 64 bit Stretchdog. And, as belham2 noted, he just installed the pets. See the discussion on from here down: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 869#970869. There may already be a version in BionicDog's repos. UExtract is SFS's application providing a GUI and master-bash-script which makes use of binaries already on a system. It does not add any binaries, so there is nothing within it which can conflict with whatever you already have on your system, As a result, belham2's approach --use the pet-- or fred's and don's --provide a deb-- will work; and also the 64-bit deb for Stretchdog should function under BionicDog.
