for an easy/fun thing to test - the games on the Puppy Web Desktop need to be categorized

Hi technosaurus,
You seem to have got off to a really good start here. Thanks and congratulations.

Perhaps I have misunderstood but you say

Memtest86+ 4.00 is out.
Now it's a good time to include the latest release in Puppy 4.3.1 / 4.4 CE Smile

how's this:
boot manager (or user) sets SFSHOME as the default search location
boot parameter
LOADSFS=none #skips the sfs search all together
or
LOADSFS=all #(loads all sfs in $SFSHOME)
or
LOADSFS=zdrv,browser,openoffice,puppypack,devx,docx,nls #only loads list from $SFSHOME unless full path is provided

#set up some defaults
if $SFSHOME = ""
SFSHOME=$PHOME

The init script just spends way too much time looking around for this stuff. If users just keep pressing enter for defaults, those locations should be checked first and once found it should stop searching. You've heard the joke about finding something in the last place you looked... right now Puppy still keeps sniffing around to find another set of keys.

I don't have the luxury of being able to play around with init till early next week because of all the dependencies I have compiled while in pfix=ram mode - just bouncing some ideas around.

Who was it that requested updated openssl? Puppy 4.3 has the latest stable Major.Minor version - did you need it configured differently or were you refering to the 0.9.8k/1.0-beta4/snapshot?

Why I ask...The 1.0 snapshot compiles a bit larger - what is the benefit?

I just uploaded openssl, fbreader, viewnior, libtheora, vim, tar... synced the folders with some newer builds of the others

has anyone tested gnumeric? it needs gtk, atk, pango, cairo, goffice
There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of interest in it. Is it worth its weight to be a default app?

technosaurus,

Keep gnumeric Smile

It was the first puppy app I ever used. We certainly need a spreadsheet.

Are you offering an alternative?

I'll download your latest and give it a run.

(a little later...)

Hmmmm,

It is rather large. And it didn't work..

Hi technosaurus,

I checked http://puppylinux.asia/members/T/444/ and notice many office applications, but few connection tools or network applications.

I would like to request the inclusion of tightVNC 1.3.10 to the pet list please.

Also need a FTP program, but don´t know if Filezilla is too big to be included then I won´t request its inclusion. You should consider a valid option for FTP.

Thank you.
