Yes, I always avoided Python like the plague, but I've decided if you need to do document assembly type work with pdfs this is worth it

disciple,

Well if you do a new pet package are you going to include all the required python stuff so it's a simple install?

Or, at least list the locations of the required Phyton packages.


Thanks

I believe I included links in that post to all the packages I used, as well as a couple of extra steps I did.
FWIW I started off booting to ram with Puppy 4.1.1
When I get the time I might make an .sfs, but not a .pet

* removed module ssb from the initrd.gz, no idea why it was there

Barry explained the reason here
http://puppylinux.com/blog/?viewDetailed=00484
In recent kernels ssb is required by ohci-hcd.

and it causes problems with bcm43xx and wl.

bcm43xx should not be used with recent kernels anyway. It's deprecated in favour of b43/b43legacy.

Yes, I found that out soon after. Should have edited the post.

It's still a problem with wl.ko. Those wifi modules have to load before ssb or they won't work. I put this script in init.d:

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
start)
if [ "$(scanpci | grep 4328 | grep 14e4)" != "" ] ; then
rmmod wl
rmmod ohci_hcd
rmmod ssb
modprobe wl
modprobe ohci_hcd
fi
;;

stop)
echo -n "Nothing to stop"

;;
restart)
echo -n "Nothing to restart"
;;
esac

That's just the id of the wifi card that's in my kid's laptop, it requires wl.

I wouldn't be surprised if b43 has the same problem.

Kenny-M, if you're still watching this topic, I have made an .sfs to make it easy to install pdfshuffler and its dependencies - python, pygtk etc. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=45826
