[Discontinued] Puppy Slacko, Gnome 2.32
Hello !
Of course, I start soon, in the coming days. Is it necessary to install the mint menu? If I do not install it, I earn at least 70MB of space on the iso, because python is not necessary. I think not integrate it, but to build a separate optional package. What do you think ?
In French, we called a puplet "une puplette", not simple French ...

Whew! It has been such a long time since I posted here on the forum. So many splendid works going on here. Kudos to everyone.

In fact, I like your Gnome integration with puppy so much. The one with Gnome 2.32 desktop and Linux Mint menu works flawlessly here. I will be very glad to see you come out with yet another puplet based on Barry's recent precise-5.2.73 (PAE enabled) with Gnome 3.4.2 and Linux Mint menu. Must come with all the Gnome goodies found in your 2.32 puplet. I hope I am not asking too much ...
Cheers and keep up with the good work.

Yes please - Gnome 2.32 with mint menu would be good too.
Only if you feel so inclined and have the time.
What you have already done is much appreciated.
Very best regards - Ray

I've been really busy enjoying the experience of the remnants of Hurricane /Tropical Storm Issac but had to take the time for a really quick test. Looks great.
Hopefully all the torrrential rain,wind,power outages, etc. will go away in the next day or two so I can get caught up on stuff. More later.

Posting from within the new version. Downloaded it last night, but bedtime happened before testing was possible.
Barry's/Classic/Complicated/Dougal's Network Wizard still doesn't work I've attached a screenshot of what happens when it runs in terminal. (The English expression for what happens with this is, "coughs up a lung".) Note that this wizard's program is net-setup.sh. Also, I am typing this from within Seamonkey, as there are no alternatives. I have a something of a dislike for Seamonkey, the way gorgonzola cheese has something of a smell to it
In all honesty, I actually like the 533 based GNOME Puppy better. I can fix most --if not all-- of the lanugage that doesn't /quite/ make it over to English. I *think* I can fix the Network Wizard with a replacement *.pet file (I seem to recall tripping over one on this forum somewhere...) What I don't know how to do is to disable the fr keyboard layout and language settings from the get-go in the ISO.
jejy69, if you can tell me how to change the language and keyboard settings, I'll do the rest and save you some time and effort.
All of that said... thank you for such a great set of Puplets! C'est tres magnifique!
...and don't give too much attention to my fussy requests and arguments [the English is "persnickety"] -- I'm an artist, among other things, and I tend to be rather like that with a lot of things. It gets to be a little too much sometimes

Ups, sorry, I confess to being very disappointed, utilities networks are operating for me.
It is difficult to resolve an issue that is not...
Can you send me the result of the console?
To change the language and keyboard? You have the "Personalize settings" in the menu.

jejy69, here is a screen of what happens when someone runs net-setup.sh... it's a mess!
I've also attached a "fixed" version of the connectwizard_2nd shell script -- which is the part of the Connection Wizard where one selects the network setup method (Classic, SNS, or Frisbee). I'm using the word "fixed" a little kindly here -- all I did was comment away the nonfunctional options. This is intended for the 533 version of your puplet, I don't intend to work on the Precise version right now.
A note about the shell script attachment -- it's not actually a *.gz archive, take off the extension and it will work. I am working with the limitations of the forum uploader, nothing else.
...by the way, a problem with Frisbee, is that it does not uninstall properly. Once uninstalled, SNS is broken and does not connect. Not good, but I suspect this to be an issue with Frisbee itself, not with your puplet. At this point I'm just providing a warning, nothing else.

Quickly before the power decides to go out again....... fresh manual frugal install on my trusty Athlon XP box. Sound and display working and correct on initial boot...... no internet connection.No problem with SNS in the Internet Connection Wizard though.... a couple of clicks and all is good.
