SFS Install 0.1.2 [updated 16.10.2009.]
dejan555, thanks for putting this together. I spent ages yesterday trying to get open office working after doing a full install of Deep Thought 4.2.1
I now have it working, which will please my son greatly, but I can't work out how to put an icon on the desktop. I expect it's pretty simple, so any guidance would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Bones

bones01, I think your open office is installed somewhere in /opt so look at /opt/openoffice3.org/program, drag programs to desktop, then you can right click -> set icon.
Hope this helps.

dejan555,
I used your sfsinstaller to install devx_421.sfs on a Puppy 4.2.1 machine running in PUPMODE of 6. Full install without a pup_save file. Changes saved directly to the Puppy partition.
It worked fine! C and FreeBasic work fine.
My next attempt will be Open Office. I suspect I have to find an Open Office compiled specifically for Puppy 4.2.1. is that correct?
Thanks

Thanks for reporting Kenny! Open Office can be found as sfs too, try this links:

BTW, trio recently made some GTK sfs installer, haven't tried it, dunno how it installs exactly, but it has uninstall option too, check out who wants:

I have incorporated this in Hansamben. It works great. To make it easier for the not-interested-how-it-works, i have used Trio's Gui and then done another script that will grep pupstate and if its 2 the SFS_installer, if 12 etc then Bootmanager will pop up. The script if Pupmode=2 will copy the sfs's to /.
To use SFS_installer on a ful install, do the SFS's have to be in a certain directory, or can they be installed directly from the CD?.

sidders, don't know about trio's installer, but mine needs a writable folder for sfs to mount, I hope I'm gonna change that to mount on /mnt instead same dir where sfs is.

Can't find how to open amarok?
Did you refresh menus? It should show in Multimedia menu.
Also try to run it from terminal: type: amarok and hit enter
To refresh menus in jwm:

Then it probably misses some lib, what puppy version do you use? puppy 4.3.1 also needs libpcre did you install that?
Run amarok in terminal it will tell you if it misses deps.

Hi Dejan,
I'm now trying to update OO to OO3.2 on the DT4.2.1 full install. I have d/l the sfs, and tried to install it. As far as I know, it may have done, but I didn't do anything about the original OO3.0 sfs install.
So, can these sfs files be uninstalled (you say 'no' in your first post, and I wish I'd read that earlier).
Can I just delete /opt/openoffice.org/basis3.0 and leave the basis3.2 file?
Or is this completely irrelevant to this thread?
Thanks for your ongoing support to strugglers like me,
Bones01

Well, there is no option in sfs installer to uninstall but you can manually remove files, so since openoffice 3.0 is all in one directory deleting that dir would completely remove it.
