Finished goodies upload.

If you guys wanted to update your seamonkey, to seamonkey 2 you'll need the following. This is Barry's latest from Wary, he left out the eng-usa dictionary, so I added it to hunspell, it only works for this version of seamonkey, If you use a different version just make a system link from usr/share/hunspell/en_US.aff to /usr/lib/seamonkey-###/dictionaries/en_US.aff
and
usr/share/hunspell/en_US.dic to /usr/lib/seamonkey-###/dictionaries/en_US.dic

If you guys ever want to build glib, I would keep this patch handy
ttuuxxx

well I compiled about 50 libs and well it just got slower and slower, so I'm thinking about a smaller backend update, so painfully starting all over again grrrr

Poor you ttuuxxx.

lol its working with only 7 packages to have a new glib and gtk+-2.22.1 backend, what I usually do is follow one of Barry's methods to compile 9 packages plus what ever is needed along the way, last time the mixed lib pangocairo was playing up, to make that one little extra lib that is well used by most precompiled software, some of the Xorg files needed updating that led to some of compiler and poppler, poppler-glib and on and on and on, this time I started with atk then glib, and then skipping a few I tried gtk2, it said I needed 2 more and then gtk2 asked for an extra dep when compiling, so I did that one it worked
excellent the Cairo and Pango was new enough already and didn't need updating, great!!!
Its getting late tonight but tomorrow in the daytime its my daughters 8th birthday so I'm spending my day with her, but tomorrow night I'll start putting it together. If all goes well
I would rather do this backend update as the first release for testing.

Also I'll compile the latest Seamonkey for the next release and maybe theme it and add a few helpers like flashblock

I was looking over this thread. I tried this Puppy derivative, earlier this year, and it Panic'd on me. Then subsequently, it was NOT able to find my SCSI drives In fact, no Puppy thus far has been successfully finding the SCSI drives on this DELL 1650 P4 server (but most of my other distros and Knoppix has been successful).

This is not a request for anything special....just a question:

1. What are my chances in using the latest version, here, on the Dell server?
2. In conjuction with the question: Is there something I need to do at boot time to get this version to 'see" the drives?

Thanks in advance for your advice(s).

well don't try the older version, there was something wrong with a script that called for the drivers, my next release will have it fixed, well basically all the scsi drivers that were compiled with the kernel when Barry compiled will be included, usually they are left-out in most releases. So your odds are better with this release. If it doesn't work just let me know what driver you need after you test the next release and I could try to recompile the kernel with the extra driver.

I take it you have provision for 2 cpu sockets! Are they both in use?

Does yours have one of these: An integrated, dual-channel Ultra3 SCSI host adapter; a Dual Channel RAID Card (and Rom-B Module on the motherboard); one of three possible scsi cards (that I know of); or the one with an extended scsi backplane? All combinations use different drivers !unfortunately.

Is yours a vertical format only box or can it be rack-mounted in slides? Look for one or two power supply locations.

Yes, I suspect you may have to open it up.

I had half a rack full at one time.

Nil, if you're trying to boot from the onboard SCSI interface, because it's an LSI Logic 1020/1030 "Fusion MPT" interface, which as I mentioned earlier in this thread is not supported in any Puppy kernel ... not even the "SCSI specials".

In the new year I will consider doing a custom kernel with full SCSI support, including "Fusion MPT" support.

Hi guys, well I compiled Seamonkey 2, and well I really don't like the default theme, so I looked at the small amount of themes they had and used some graphics from the older firefox theme they had, after using it for a bit during testing, I decide to do away with the main browser icons and update them to gtk, well this took a few hours, because they don't use individual icons. They use block sheet icons like 120x150px which have 20 24x24 icons on it, there were 3 of them. grrrr
anyways now it looks very close to the latest Firefox for the first time and I'm not using any plugins to make it look like this, just manually configuring it.

Hi Guys I converted the older firefox-seamonkey theme addon to gtk2 look, just extra the tar.gz, run Tools/Addon Manager and drop the xpi file on the window and it will install.

New version out Page 1 and install the printer/help browser fix on page one also
or get the fix here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... h&id=36028
enjoy Merry Christmas

The more people put into this release, The more effort I'll put in, If you want a stable new version of 4 series, then voice your opinions and lend a hand please, I've feel like this release has hit the end of the road but If you want to prove me wrong then let her rip
If all goes well, and there is a need for 4 series, I'll release 2 other versions of it, a vortex version and a reduced older driver version which should make it around the 100MB area or less.

I added the devX on page1

I have had enough of wary and lupu for awhile. I have your 432****001.iso and would like to try your upgrade but being on dialup it’s really tough to get a working ISO
Any chance of getting a 001 > 002 delta?

Fresh frugal install on my main Linux box. Sound, internet and correct screen resolution on boot.
Flash download worked fine. Installed the Cups/help fix pet..... no printer to test but help now works.
Looks really solid so far. New SeaMonkey is much better.

I did a frugal install with the universal installer and that worked
fine but when I ran grub4dos it didn't work.I ended running grub4dos from another puppy frugal install on the pc and it worked fine.
I installed the devx and compiled and made a couple of pets, if you
want them (htop 09 and links 2.3pre1)I'll upload them later.
Going to try out 432 some more now.

edit:Gxine works nice, I played a dvd movie and it played full screen,
also played an audio cd.
Pcd works good too, ripped a cd with it and that worked well.

I've attached htop to this message, it's 48kb. I won't attach the
browser, it's pretty big at 1845 kb.
