Hi Puppyt thank you for the feedback.Puppyt wrote:Cheers stu90 -
What with being Puppy5, and with all the recent association with lynxes, meerkats, narwhals and ocelots, I have been considering your Lite525 as a perfect base for a puplet aimed at impoverished Uni students in the field of - what else- Vet science!
The puplet will be aimed particularly at research functions and be loaded with sc0ttman's FireDog3.6 (plus the indispensible Zotero add-on), ImageJ, emil's 'R' statistics package, CowLog (deb), and the new Docere (coincidentally pronounced as "dog-ear", formerly "SciPlore"/FreeMind) PDF management and mindmapping tool (also deb). Here I am just writing to let you now that Barry K's new Thunar pet (1.0.2-Lucid), viewnoir-1.1-p5, Xorg_High-1.1-Lucid, and radky's PupComboPlus1.1-Lucid and recent PupSnap - all work as intended, and seamlessly.
However, problems were encountered after I installed the patched-wBar using CatDudes instructions here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... &start=135 - Firefox would not load by any method, instead throwing up the error dialogue that a version of FF was already running, when it wasn't. A full shut down and reboot seems to have resolved the issue.
I love the pared-back presentation, the ease of preference changes, the Win+D keybinding for clearing the desktop (but I must include some other Win key bindings for my mostly Windoze refugees).
Many Thanks!

Sound like an interesting project you are embarking on there.
regarding wbar - i have not tried it but there is a lucid puppy wbar.pet in the puppy package manager, maybe that one will work better - i will give it a try later today.
If you let me know which firefox you tried i will also look into it.
Maybe worth including gparted in your puplet - as gaz1965 pointed out above there can be problems with full install not working due to gparted not being present.
there is also scsijon apps.sfs this is handy as you can quickly load it up with sfs load on the fly and have all the default puppy applications available as and when needed.
If you run into any problems let me know and i will try to help.
cheers.
