Download seems corrupt. Only comes up at 82meg.

Works great fast and elegant
One question: how can I use the sfs downloaded file?
I dowloaded goffice-4.3.sfs...I double clic over it and it appears 3 folders: etc, root and usr (with the lock symbol). I am usin the NOP in live cd
Thanks

If you're paranoid, verify the MD5 sum.

Ok I found a big problem in NOP 431. Be careful if you try to install gimp 2.6.3. It requires some extra libraries like gegl, babl, glib etc. Well, if you try to install it puppy will die!!! I have lost all my icons and all activity was frozen . I couldn't event shutdown my computer or start thunar or anything. Has some one expirience with gimp under NOP? The older version works fine- but the problem is about the ver. 2.6.3
I've got some warning about:
libxfcegui4-WARNING xx : ICE I/0 ERROR

Downloaded and running live on my P3 test box, everything works fine out of the box.

Great puplet.

Using NOP431 i am not able to connect to internet using my zte usb broadband modem.... while i can using puppy ver 431
following is the error i receive

wvdial: error while loading shared libraries: libwvutils.so.3.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any help!!!

Thanks in advance

Sorry, gray - tried again to install Abiword without success. When you have a moment, appreciate if you could expand your instructions. Thanks.

Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please tell me how you disable the "Warning, you are using the root account, you may harm your system" message in Thunar...

@ DaveS:

THe download was okay I've checked md5sum and everything was correct. Thats not the problem I think

I thought every gimp installation required gegl, babl, glib...

Please Please Please how do you take out the thunar super warning?

Ok. Will try with wget

swamig,

If you have a pentium 4 cpu you can use these to install a higher version of the GIMP:

My experience suggests that that "Well, if you try to install it puppy will die!!!" is not true.

Yes, as i said over in your other thread: NOP lost XFCE!!!

Thank you Gray for this awesome puplet.

I found a problem with Opera though. When I right-click>Click "Open" or "Open with" or double-click on a downloaded file on Opera's download manager, nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

will try it....
Thx

Hi,

Has anybody else had a problem with the boot not finding the sfs?
I downloaded 4.13 version and it runs frugally with no problems

However, 4.31 will not find the sfs file.

Is there a version with an older kernel that may solve the problem? I'm not sure if this is even the problem to be quite honest.

I can run Barry's 4.31 with no issues, I can run ttuuxxx's Deep thought with no issues, even MacPuppy with no problems either.

I prefer not to burn any more CD's (I'm tired of throwing out unusable CDs and money) so what I am doing is creating folders in c: and using the menu.lst to provide me with the options to boot into one puppy or the other.

Why do I bother? Well, cause from all the puppys I've tried, this is the little dog I want to keep as my main pet. And ideally, I would like to use the latest version.

Any ideas? Thanks

Upgraded to NOP 431 r1 - see main post.

Thanks Gray. I'm not sure if your response was regarding my post, but I am downloading now.

I'll keep you posted on how I went.

By the way, in using your 4.13 version I tried to "drag" the desktop icons closer to the screen edge but with little success. I searched the xfce forum to see if I could find a solution but to no avail.

Is there "An Idiots Guide to Dragging Icons Closer to Screen Edge" I can read to help me out? A post somewhere you may direct me to?

Thanks
