(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I am using puppy 201 with Opera added. I am trying to install "pysol" (a card game) using "klik" from the web-http:// klik.atekon.de/ --- I have followed the directions as best I can but end up with a request to install "ar" I have no idea what that is. Has anyone attempted to use this cite to use programs without actually installing them?

I would be glad to install this game, but don't know how to do that either. It has a "debian" format.

klick itself does not work in Puppy, but many .deb do.
In a consolewindow, type pb-debianinstaller to launch a wizard that can install downloaded .deb -packages.

It has no menu-entry, as it is beta, and can not install every package, but we already had success with some quite complex ones.

Only be carefull, if it wants to overwrite existing ones, especially gtk....so

-------------------
pysol requires python, which is very huge.
We have some other solitaire-clones, see additional softwareforum, or here:

klik works "half" in Puppy 2.

wget klik.atekon.de/client/install
chmod 755 install
./install

Then restart mozilla/firefox, and click on the speedcrunch download:
http://speedcrunch.klik.atekon.de/

This fails, telling you some errors.
/root/klik-cmg-install-root

again, click on the speedcrunch download:
http://speedcrunch.klik.atekon.de/

Then I have
/tmp/klik/speedcrunch , it is a roxapp that you can run with a click in Rox-filer.

So it basically works, just their scripts seem to hang somewhere when they try to mount the downloaded image.
But somehow they extract them.

This would require a deeper analysis of the invoked scripts, but might be worth a try
