Re: Icepup 0.3
Looks good so far Todd. Good for someone like me who rarely uses anything but the web browser - keeps it simple.

ps, It seems more stable than Firefox. I gave up Firefox in favour of Seamonkey a while ago because it kept crashing. I've simply copied the entire IceWeazel folder from Icepup into my FAT documents partition and I'm running it in my regular Puppy. It hasn't crashed even with 25 tabs and a full load of extensions, so I think I can say I'm a convert. Congratulations to Debian for a job well done...

I didn't. There are actually two different lines. One is Iceweasel, which is the Debian one. The other is IceWeasel, which is Gnuzilla's. It seems a bit odd, but there really are two. The capitalization of the "W" is the only naming difference. However, when you get into the different packages, they are built very differently. The one I used is found here:

yes thats the one I compiled it uses a file called mozcfg to pass
info to ./configure as I'm understanding

I just used the one that had already been compiled:
http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/download/icewea ... 86.tar.bz2
I might be setting myself up for criticism, but. . .
The way I understand it, Slackware is the vanilla of Linux distributions. (No frills, just a basic Unix.) Though Puppy was built using T2, packages built for vanilla distributions like Slackware tend to work well on Puppy. The above package seemed to be compiled on one of the "vanilla" distributions and has run well on Puppy. I added glibc-2.4 (which originally was a Mandriva package) to Icepup. I assumed that it wrote over the original glibc-2.3 library files that came with Puppy 2.13.
I know I have assumed a lot. . .but it works!
Sincerely,
Todd
P.S.: I brought up Slackware because it is the distribution that I have worked with. (I actually used Caldera prior to Slackware but. . .that's another story.)

no criticism it's just I'm a freak I guess... I mean one of theI just used the one that had already been compiled:.......

advantages of iceweasle is supposed to be more secure to
me secure means you download src from author's site
and compile yourself

I think that iPup is based on the 2.6.16.7 kernel, and no one has compiled winmodem drivers for this kernel ...
but if you are talking about your Thinkpad TP770X, you're in luck, because the necessary "mwave" kernel module is standard with Puppy.
Then you just need the user-level application from here -
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Internet/Winm ... -modem.pup
and the instructions -

tempestuous to the rescue...again
Thank you sir,got it working and since I don't need special drivers zdrive removed and got online and used pet-be-gone to remove xorg then IceWeasel+jwm were replced by opera and xfce.got to add few applications needed for my work other than that its fast,small and stable.
Thanks Todd & Tempestuous (what a gentleman...2thumbs up friend ).

Icepup 0.3 wifi support?
I am interested in a small pup with Icewm for wifi internet surfing. Does Icepup 0.3 have a wlan setup wizard? Hope so.

Icepup only comes with wired lan support. This is because wired lans are simple. For wirless, you not only need the right driver for your card but you also need an additional program to handle the signal. Ethernet cards have pretty much standardized themselves, but wireless cards are continuously morfing. Right now they just came out with the "N" standard. My card is "G". My thinking was for Icepup to be used for an internet cafe or some educational or library setting where computers are wired together with a low cost hub. At least where I live this hub would then be connected to a cable or DSL modem.

custom remaster
I guess when the script asks whether you want to remaster for your own hardware, you should answer "Yes", and zdrv would then be unnecessary for the remaster output.
Puppy user since Oct 2004. Want FreeOffice? [url=http://puppylinux.info/topic/freeoffice-2012-sfs]Get the sfs (English only)[/url].
sorry raffy that is not it because even if i chose yes it will still look for zdrv_213.sfs,,I should of been more clearer in my question above.
its dougal's remastering script that I needed to reomve any references from,and it turned out the answer was very simple and it was just a matter of finding the script.
so after locating it in /usr/sbin I edited these lines:
around line 18
then creat a directory in /mnt named ZDRV as i found out in following lines:
then around line 274
I really should learn cgi and other neat SSL it would of come in handy in writing scripts when I learn more linux.time to forget all about ASP which now mostly useless and requires using Microsoft's PWS not to mention its becoming a security risk.
Thank you for your replies friends.
