I have used Pet Maker Plus successfully with a puppy 4.21 installation on one of my machines, but I cannot get it to work on my 4.31 (MacPup Foxy 3) machine. When I click on an SFS to install it, the installation does not take place. The package title can be found in petget, but the program is not installed. Petget can remove the item from the installed package list ok. I have tried both versions of 1.73 the one designated 430 acts as I describe above, when I use the other version, it starts the installation dialogue, but after a second, it beeps and aborts the installation process. I would really like to be able to use this to install Oxygen office3.sfs so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh I have tried Petmaker plus on different .sfs files, and all have the same problem.

Thanks in advance.

cheers, Paul

431 needs sfs version 4 , are you sure your sfs are version 4? If not, go to menu-->utility-->sfsconverter

Thanks alot! This is truly an amazing piece of software. They should put this in the puppy package manager.

cheers.

Trio's utility is great, however, it needs update. I used it to try to install an sfs on a full install of luci-235. Started the operation and left for a few hours. When I returned, not only had the sfs not installed, but it wiped two partitions clean. That bad experience hasn't stopped me from using Petmaker Plus to prepare pets and sfs though. It'd be great if someone updated it's sfs install feature.

Don't use the sfs install feature on the newer distributions.

The same exact thing happened to me.
It wiped all the partitions on the SSD plus it wiped the SD card.
It was pre-loaded in Puppeee.
Jemimah has now removed it.

If you want to install sfs's, don't use this, use his sfs-Installer instead, it's a stand alone app and it does work. (t=44765), at least with my 5.11.

Note to lucid puppy 5.2 users:

5.2 has the ability to install sfs files out of the box via Quickpet. Read here

It will download an sfs by copy and paste if the sfs link is a direct link to the file or you can install a local sfs from anywhere on your system by drag and drop.

Hi,

I'll see what I can do ... will disassemble PETMAKER_PLUS to just PETMAKER, many people now has many ways of dealing with SFS and so on...and so on .. I have only a little spare time

Trio,

Glad to have you back.

Thanks for the update and for keeping the capability to create an sfs file. It has worked well for me. You may want to rename it PET/SFS MAKER-2.0.

Cheers,
Jim

Where can I get the rxvt package which supports the -embed option?
Which system are you using, Trio?

scottman,

I have only lupu 520 with me, so I can't check, but I'm most certain, it's the same rxvt ....

Edit: or is it not the same rxvt in lupu 520???

Maybe somebody using puppy version older than Lupu can help me check if rxvt can be embedded in the petmaker window? does it still work even if it isn't embbedded or it doesn't work at all

thanks
