@ Ken:-

Might be just as simple to use the 'portable' package I assembled for PM_sse 27.9.4:-

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1022606#1022606

True, it has its own glibc 'tweak' built-in. You can leave the one you've installed where it is, however; it won't interfere with the operation of the portable.

D/load it; unzip it; put the 'palemoon32' directory anywhere you want, though preferably outside of 'Puppy-space'. Fire it up from the 'plmn' script (you can drag this to the desktop as a launcher)

Instructions are included for transferring an existing profile to the 'portable', so you can keep all your bookmarks, etc. Let us know how you get on with it, please.

@ Stu/Ken:-

Nah. You can set any browser to open on any web-page you choose, here in Puppy.

Palemoon 27.9.4_SSE has two ways you can do this.

1) Menu->Tools->Preferences. Hit the 'General' tab. Where it says 'Home page', just make sure the URL of the web-page you want for a home page is showing. You can delete the Palemoon one; it's not compulsory to keep it, y'know!





In all the Mozilla-based browsers (Firefox, Palemoon, Seamonkey, etc), if you want to fire the browser up with more than one page showing, just carry on adding URLs.....but you separate 'em with the 'pipe' symbol ('|'). Like so:-





.....and so on.

------------------------------

The Chromium-based browsers have a variation on this, but allow you to specify each extra, additional web-page separately. However, the easiest way to get round this, which definitely works in JWM - MochiMoppel showed the way with this one a while ago - involves your desktop 'launcher'...........whether an actual .desktop entry, or even just an executable script.

In the case of the SSE-only PM_portable, drag the 'plmn' script onto the desktop, OK? Right-click->Edit item. Brings this up:-





In the second box down - 'Arguments to pass (for executables)', simply enter the URL you want. That's your 'argument'..! Like so:-




Easy-peasy. But everything is, when you know how......

@Mike

Your first two images was what I meant by:- setting the homepage to DuckDuckGo or Startpage is something that the user is expected to do when initially setting up the browser to their own liking. Sorry, I should have explained that like you have. Cheers for pointing out about making assumptions about a users knowledge. Something I am guilty of.


EDIT: Clarity all round thanks to Mike and Ken.

@ Ken:-

[slackfan]

your site gives us wonderful information. but sorry, it make some problems hidden!

your Wary / Racy list concern (very) old builds...

If you use them on a already formated old hard disk (for ex. by some Debian or Ubuntu like distros), you will probably meet some ext4 partitions and I suppose NO ONE UNDER THE NAMED release were ACTUALIZED to process without toil those partitions,

a very bad deal

what is to do, what are you being to recommend in such cases?

is an adaptation *.pet somewhere available?

[slackfan]

next unsolved problem in the Quirky familie, I only will use the opportunity to remember:
