Hi,
Your screenshot is 1152x768 and is way too big for my 14" screen.
Please reduce your screenshot to 800x600 before posting here.

bonjour

also I am now working in puppy396k2.16.24 and all work very fine.
thank you very much to barry and helpers.

i did erase all my different linux partitions and keep only a 24 Gbyte
partition and a SWAP. as i did see, that the grub loader don't accept
the empty ext2 as "linux" for grub if there is no linux system in it, i did
install kubuntu 7.10 with KDE4.0 in this ext2 partition (download
links: see French discussion; only 540 Mbyte download )

after that I did install puppy396k2.16.24 in this new environment.

as kubuntu has a highly performant actualization and upgrade
environment and puppy frugal can simply be upgraded by installation
in a new directory without affecting the rest of the system I have now
a very evolutive solution with a really big room for compilation (20
Gbyte) etc.

this new puppy is really wonderful and all works best including Xine
embedded in seamonkey: the terrible microsoft format videos are not
a problem any more.

the help function is more than good with the integrated overview what
contains my system!

wonderfull is also that the big kubuntu partition is also integrated in the
puppy system and see as being part of it simultanly! that is a great!

concerning the PET's diverse little details don't work as pretty as the
distribution. it was not possible to add the dottpuphandler and for this
reason to add the full java dotpup (I don't know a PET for full java) etc.
the firefox.pet comes with a lot of dependence claims! I did not see any web phone.

i miss only a little but important detail: it seems as if the webcam can't
operate (the new skype for linux has now the webcam connection
so it is not necessary to install a lot of special libraries for ekiga
or kopete with webcam. i suppose that Qt4 is enough)?

CH_de and CH_fr keyboard would be appreciate in the definitive
version because no other keyboard layout can write as good as much
west European languages correctly (D, E, F, I, NL, P and S excepted
special question marks) and only a few
byte are necessary!

only a great deception: the best resolution for me is 1024 (but i can
select 1400 in windows!) both in Xorg and Xvesa (I prefer myself
Xvesa: Xvesa works perfectly excepted the resolution) and I as am a
old man with heavy seeing troubles the optic quality of my system is
very important for me: the best choice is always 1200 (or 1152). in
puppy 2.17 i did use 1280x1024; it is a terrible difference for people
having seeing troubles because the angle of seeing are absolutely
different!

thank you again!

salut

oui

note: kubuntu 7.10 with k 2.16.14 and KDE 4.0 makes very more
problems (but works also!): the Kpackager is not complete,
Kopete as no provider list in it as user, etc.

thank both of you who made some comments. other than VLC and Gizmo
programs the PETs are available at various puppy sites if anybody find it difficult he is advised to search puppylinux.ca specially the members area for addon pet pkgs.
i have uploaded a working iso of puppy dingo 4- 394- search members area and then Sing-Dingo to get the iso which is about 160 mbs. thanks all of you.
adding programs in puppy dingo is little difficult as .pups does not work in puppy dingo so far, plus any new program demands different set of libs, so it is quite time consuming.
if i can help in this matter i am too happy to do that.

i request for more and more comments before i upload iso of puppy dingo 4
-396 with k.2.6.24 which is ready with me from the day i put this image on the site for comments.

puppy 4-3.96 in action-2 for comments

[charnisingh]

this version of puppy though termed as alpha is the best in the look and feel and as good as final could be, my thanks goes to Barry for his efforts and labor. i am thankful to many of forum fellows whose software i and notes in the forum helped me use the add on softwares.

charnishing,
Again may I ask you to reduce screen shots to max 700 wide beforer posting.
Yours are 2x to wide for my little screen.

[charnisingh]

this screen shot shows PSI.0.7 in action. PSI was not working in puppy 4-Dingo-3.96, it is working now and one can see in action now, i must tanks MU for notes in the forum which gave me hope and since mine is a frugal install it was easy for me to experiment to find out the proper add on for PSI to make it work and finally i got the results.

Hi Canery and Raffy,

i am happy to see your comments and thank both of you . as for as uploading the work ,Eric was very kind and allowed me to upload puppy 4 Dingo 3.94 built on Bare-bone at puppy ca but there was not much of a response and i do not think if anybody has downloaded to test or run it.

this one is built on puppy 4 Dingo-3.96-k2.6.24. though it is ready from the day one it was released by Barry and i put up 1st screen shot on the forum but beside you peoples comment there was hardly any comments for me to know as to what others thinks or what others want in this built so you can understand how do i feel.

with thanks and regards.
