MU, I can confirm you are on-target with this one....
It's exactly as I pictured and works as requested.
The taskbar is now clean after loading.
However, I did changed the entry line 'IceDock.layer: OnTop' to 'IceDock.layer: Normal' in the /root/.icewm/winoptions file as being "OnTop" of every window is absolutely annoying.
Although, I recall icedock did an automatic pop-up when the mouse is moved to right side edge of the screen and disappears again when the mouse was removed but seems to not do that anymore. Hence the line entry change.

Hope this all make sense as I'm falling asleep writing this.. will pick this up later today... Wink

Just tried to get qt-3.3.8 from the petget mgr & when I selected add & ok, next message was ~'did I want to uninstall it'. Shocked

Started to wonder there..for a bit. Then tried psi - installed fine & showed up in the right pane of the petget mgr.

Otherwise working fine on acer travelmate 2420 lap with the ipw2200 native driver & Lin'N'WinNewB setup with xp. Working good that way on another box along with vista.

Also added a fresh Seamonkey & Opera.

08.2 standard

is there a listing of the complete contents of these sfs files:

- addons-EN_082.sfs
- Acroread8-EN_082.sfs
- KDE358_082.sfs

are there any other 008.2 compatible sfs files?
are there any other locations for any 008.2 related files?

what is the "KDE358-update.pet" file for? and if i need it, how do i use it?

is the "Videopup-008.2-FR.iso" file a version of muppy with video editing apps?

does "addons_OO_082.sfs" contain openoffice and is it compatible with the english version of muppy 008.2?

thanks for answering all of my questions,
david

MU, thanks for th icedock png icon. Actually, I used a another but will use yours as I like the moving fishes.. Laughing

Also, I recently discovered what was happening to the icedock pop-up from what I though was an issue...

If the current viewing window is maximize, the icedock pop-up does not work. If the window is not maximized and stretched (dragged) to fix the whole screen, then moving the mouse over icedock will work... interesting find...

Did you purposely have icedock behave this way?

besonen:
You should be able to use most sfs files made for Puppy.
Especially those for Puppy 3, but also most for Puppy 2 should work.

You only must rename them, so that their name is "something_082.sfs", where "something" can be a word of your choice.

- KDE, please see details here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=26151

- addons.sfs adds the things to the Muppy-Mini, that else just can be found in the Standard-Iso (OpenOffice, Wine, Java, Codecs and others listed here: http://dotpups.de/Minisys-Linux/ ).
Use the DE version if you want german.
Use the EN version if you want english.

- Videopup is a french version based on Muppy with Video-Applications, created by papos.

MU, I believe this has nothing to do with recent the tray icon edition you provided.
As a matter of fact, this was happening before changing the winoptions and Muppy-icedock but I could not distinguish when my windows were maximize or stretched out and thought is was strange that it works on some windows and not others.
I suppose it's the natureof the beast... regardless, excellent distro!!!

oh yes, you need the .pet.
It includes fixes for the KDE358.sfs.
I did not apply them yet to the sfs itself, so this pet is needed, too.
After you selected the KDE358.sfs in the bootmanager (Puppy-Menu -> System -> Bootmanager) and rebooted to activate it, click in Rox-Filer on the downloaded pet to install it.

The mini is:
Mini-Muppy-008.2-LANGUAGE.iso

Together with:
addons-LANGUAGE_082.sfs

you will get the same programs as using only:
Minisys-Linux-Standard-Muppy-008.2-LANGUAGE.iso

The advantage of using mini+addon is better memory management.
This will become even more evident in 008.3, where I could reduce the mini to be more responsive on computers with only 256 MB of Ram.

I will re-write the website this week, explaining it in detail, to avoid further confusion Very Happy
