Sorry dWLkR, This puppy doesn't come with browser or flashplayer, you have to set that up yourself. As for the link you posted I'm not in to soap operas and definitely not pay-per-veiw. 
Thanks anyway, J |

Nice going greengeek.  I forgot about that. I got that message too and symlinked /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf into /root/.mplayer/ and renamed the symlink to subfont.ttf

Just a note here about networking with YASSM and pnethood. They both install from the PPM but it doesn't seem to pick up on their deps. 
YASSM - needs mpscan from wary file_sharing-curlftpfs-mpscan-0.2-0.9.1-0.1.0.pet Pnethood - needs nbtscan from wary file nbtscan-1.5.1a-james-patched|nbtscan.pet They can both be downloaded from PPM. You only need one or the other, not both. |

I just uploaded MPlayer-svn-gtk2-0.5.pet which fixes the bug mentioned by greengeek above. |

..and do you have a recommended lightweight mp3/wav player? (no fancy features required - although the ability to add new files to the currently playing stack while the first one is playing would be handy). Thx! |

 I've just uploaded my configured version of tempestuous' xhippo-3.5-gtk2, xhippo-3.5-gtk2-jrb-0.2.pet. Definitely not fancy but it plays mp3's, wav's, mid's and au's in the BareBones Puppies. If you want ogg's, flacs, or anything else you'll have to add a command line player for those and then change /usr/local/etc/xhippo.config. Easy to do and obvious once you open the file.
I've also set it up in the .pet to be the defaultaudioplayer. You can drag a folder full of audio files into the play area and it will play them all, either sequentially of randomly, your pick. You can also drag a new song into the play area while another is playing and it will be played as soon as the first song is done. At 128K installed its very lightweight. |

(much snipping)
Thanks a lot, jrb! My first time with any racy. Having a "depression mentality" (born in 1934), I like small. This is a new (to me, as of last year) Dell Latitude D610, from about 2005. So far all I've done is frugal install, 256MB savefile, Opera 12.02 by way of bootmanager sfs file. Coming from a Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 background, I appreciated the familar JWM interface. I'm looking forward to follow up on some of the information in this thread. Thanks again, Sheldon |

I tried to run Pmusic 3.12, but there's no sound when I click an mp3 file. I did ffmpeg --version and got
How can I fix this problem? Thanks, Sheldon |

Thanks, tidy little mp3 player. I just click on a song and xhippo opens up without any delay - nice! Unfortunately drag 'n drop didn't work for me though on WaryBABYbones (EDIT: silly me - its actually RacyBABYbones that I'm using) but not a biggy as it lets me right click the play area and add songs or a folder that way. .

Hi Sheldon, Glad to see you're open to new ideas. Unfortunately in the world of Linux things change fast.  As you know Puppy is always based on other distros packages, ubuntu, slackware, etc. Racy and Wary are based on T2 packages which are very efficiently put together allowing very small size. This is good but T2 isn't updated very often which means sometimes they fall quite a bit behind the other linux distros. This is the case here. When I try to install Pmusic312 and run it from the command line this is what I get
gtkdialog >= 0.8.3 [MISSING] is the big one. It means we aren't going to run Pmusic312 in this version of Racy. Time to uninstall However after updating the file lists in PPM, I see that pmusic267 is available ( I also checked the Pmusic thread on the forum). After installing and running at commandline I get:
This is better since we have gtkdialog version 0.8.0. After installing ffmpeg-20111002-w5c.pet from the package manager we find that we still need lame-398-2-w5c.pet to run. With these installed it works. Whew! I'm afraid the PuppyPackageManager isn't always good about listing dependencies. This is partly because there are so many different versions and so many different contributors. Oh well, makes life interesting.
Cheers, J |

Many thanks, jrb. I've bookmarked your message to read more thoroughly. Meanwhile, I tip my hat to you for working on this. There's a lot that you developers know and do that we users don't, plainly! |

Hi jrb, Racy babybarebones fails to boot. It 'pauses' saying 'can't find puppy_racy_5.3.sfs'. Frugal install on an ext4 sd card, pfix=ram. |
