Slackpup 0.4 beta

[edoc]

I am seeing a "tty" error flash by when booting - but I forget where the bootlog is that would capture this.

Help, please?

petget worked from cli for an uninstall but exited with gtkdialog error when attempting an install.

I installed xfce from the puppy package manager which used the slackware repo and it worked fine, then since Xfce was installed I found the slackware 13.1 version of xfburn and installed it, it takes 3 packages to manually install, so I made a pet with all 3 packages included and removed the doc's, locales etc below is the package, but you need the xfce window manager installed with its deps for it to work.
also for many more xfce packages are located at

Also I converted the 902kb txz evince pdf and other format viewer package to a 402kb pet, by removing the extra's like dev,locales,help files.

I am guessing that I am not the only one who is unfamiliar with xfce, xfburn, and evince, so here is what I just learned:

About Xfce

"Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for various *NIX systems. Designed for productivity, it loads and executes applications fast, while conserving system resources." - Olivier Fourdan, creator of Xfce

Xfce 4.6 embodies the traditional UNIX philosophy of modularity and re-usability. It consists of a number of components that together provide the full functionality of the desktop environment. They are packaged separately and you can pick and choose from the available packages to create the best personal working environment.

Xfburn is a simple CD/DVD burning tool based on libburnia libraries. It can blank CD/DVD(-RW)s, burn and create ISO images, audio CDs, as well as burn personal compositions of data to either CD or DVD. It is stable, and under ongoing development.

Evince is a simple multi-page document viewer. It can display and print PostScript (PS), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), DJVU, DVI and Portable Document Format (PDF) files. When supported by the document, it also allows searching for text, copying text to the clipboard, hypertext navigation, and table-of-contents bookmarks.

Here's a mahjongg game. Probably could be made much smaller if removed some of the tile themes, I'll think about updating it maybe.
Would like to change the control gui icons. I would have to edit the source code, if I get some free time

ps to use a different tileset open a terminal and type
xmahjongg --bg green --tileset real
or
xmahjongg --bg green --tileset gnome
or
xmahjongg --bg green --tileset gnome2
or
xmahjongg --bg green --tileset dorwhite
or
xmahjongg --bg green --tileset dorothys

a few people really loved the Gnome games lite I compiled on upup and later altered for dpup, well it works on Spup also with 3 extra libs. Gconf,Orbit,libtasn. Actually when I repackaged it, with the 3 extra libs it only grew 300kb, not bad at all, so Here's the gnomes games lite, it has most of the games and tons of card games, like 100+

also I packaged up a gimp-2.6.6-i486-1, with the missing deps from Slackware 12.1, its fast and stable. If you install python you'll get a few extra features
