WhoDo, will the .sfs icons and menu entries for openoffice disappearing when EZpup is installed be fixed in EZpup2?

I have two really simple questions, to reveal my ignorance: Embarassed

1) When I install the .pet it says I have two missing libraries:
libesd.so.0
libxmms.so.1

I don't have xmms installed so I presume that is why I am missing the second; is the first one necessary?

2) I have the backdrop, cursor effects, and icons of ezpup2. However, how do I get the cool start menu to show up?

Thanks!

EDIT: I solved the second problem. It turns out that downloading the file and running it with petget caused it to convert the icons and desktop but not switch to the IceWM window manager. Downloading and saving the file and then loading it solved this problem.

EDIT 2: I have a couple more questions (is there some sort of comprehensive documentation on this somewhere?)

1) is there a way to get the "save" button on the desktop for my multisession dvd

2) is there a way to show the free ram in my ramdisk.

Thanks a lot!

I just made myself a Save icon. Creating the Save icon was relatively simple...I just had to make an icon that linked to /usr/sbin/savesession-dvd.

I still have this question: Should I uninstall the old version first, or can I safly install on top of the old version.

EDIT

answered, thank you

I like the new cursors (maybe pics can go somewhere) as a reminder?
The New VistaBlackIV is my favourite theme. I am not a fan of dark themes - but this has me converted Smile

It is very pleasant to have icons in the menu and the new backgrounds (cut down) are a worthy collection. The rain and splash. If I have a scenic background I tend to stare at it . . . Now we really have backgrounds such as the pastel Vista swirls.

It installed over the previous EZpup that I was using (yes I lost the open office icons)

Anyway Ez-Pup-2 will be part of Linux Tmxxine Beta 2

I like the new mouse pointer icons as well.
It's funny how even the smallest things can have a big impact on the visual appeal of a GUI.

Beautiful work! I just have one question. How did you guys get the transparent rxvt terminals? I want it!

Also, upon first boot, the "glipper" icon appeared on the taskbar. After rebooting it had disappeared. Any ideas how to get it back?

Thanks and keep up the good work. This is by far the best addition to Puppy ever!

Adding glipper to /usr/sbin/delayedrun fixes glipper disappearing.
