Thanks James I'm around 70% and have to work on Monday, so I think I should be fine by then.

Thanks for the best wishes, I'll upload a few more apps
ttuuxxx

Here's a app called Mediainfo, basically it can tell you what spec's eg. codeC used, the sample rates etc
It also works with music files like mp3's, very nice app,

here's a 4pane filemanager with a built in terminal and also it can mount and unmount hard drives, not bad if you like 2-4 panes, personally I like ROX the best

Here's a calculator I just came across, nice size
GRPN works with real numbers, complex numbers, matrices, and complex matrices. Numbers can be displayed in 4 different radix modes, and complex numbers can be displayed in either Cartesian or polar form, in decimal or engineering notation.

Here's an update of Gftp, its the same version as what's in 2.14X but I altered the sources so that the menu now displays icons for pet's and sfs packages, it was always a pet peeve of mine that they didn't have icons, so now they do I also added the names on deb,sfs,pet packages.

also the altered sources can be found at

Hi ttuxxxx

Hope I am not yelling too early as I often do, seems to work in Lupu so for the moment: WOW

Here's an interesting application for young kids, http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/2.14X/g ... 4-i386.pet
Its basically an app that teaches them how to spell/speak, Almost the same as the one I bought my daughter for $200 that had learning cards and 6 dvd's.
to use it just select from the top which category you would like to learn from, then press a key (a-z) and it will display the card, then hit the spacebar and it will speak, or give the sound. I added it to the games section.

here's a early mac emulator, you need a bootdisk and roms to run it,
directions how to get this to run are located http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/doc/start.html
and
http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/doc/hardware.html#rom
unlike other emulators this one takes a bit of work to get it going.
The folder with the files is located in /usr/share/Minivmac
I made a start menu in the FUN menu

can't say I spent the time to get this going so please let me know if anyone gets it up and running.

I have minivMac installed in my Puppy Arcade puplet - but never got it running MAC, simply because it is so hard to find MAC images that are not illegal.

Here's the latest MtPAint, I changed the default icons again:), played around with the icons for about 10hrs today, lol
anyways enjoy

Hi ttuuxxx, thought I might ask the master himself the following question. Being a noob who is not too familiar with how this forum works,I'd inadvertently cross-posted this topic in multiple threads and hoped to finally get it resolved here;my sincere apologies.

I created a swap file called pupswap.swp in my WinXP partition for my frugal installed Classic Pup 214X-TOP9 using a method I found in the Internet, i.e in WinXP (ntfs partition),type "fsutil flie createnew C:\pupswap.swp 528244000" (without quotes, and for 512MB size). Then in Puppy rxvt, I first "mkswap /mnt/home/pupswap.swp" successfully as it showed the correct size and UUID. But when I wanted to turn swap on by " swapon /mnt/home/pupswap.swp" , it said "swapon: argument is invalid". Upon rebooting puppy,the message about swapon invalid argument also appeared. What gives and how to correct it? Please help. By the way, I also tried using winfonts-3.4.pet to set my WinXP pagefile.sys as swap space but to no avail.
How do I get swap file to work,please?

(SOME SNIPPING)
Glad you are asking here.

How about make an ext2 or ext3 or VFAT partition, and in it make a 512MB file called pupswap.swp

That would be my last resort,hopefully not, as shrinking an existing WinXP boot partition(worse still for Win Vista/7),as far as I know,using GParted,for example,is risky business,not yet foolproof. And in the worst case scenario where even fixmbr and/or fixboot fails, I'd have to use the Acer restore CDs that came with the 10-yr-old notebook and put everything back to default factory condition i.e WinXP SP1 (not SP3) and reinstall all my accumulated programs including updates and patches and software, a few of which I've lost or damaged the original disks.
If originally, as is the case nowadays for Acer,the harddisk had come with two partitions,one as boot,the other data,I would have done so for the non-boot partition and created an ext3 plus swap partition(not file) plus VFAT right from the beginning.
Otherwise,from the start,I wouldn't have used the windows installer to install quickset wary511 without modifying the mbr instead of the Puppy Universal Installer Grub4Dos method. The former method only adds a line in the boot.ini and places the grldr and menu.lst in C: and puts the puppy core files in a subdir just like a frugal install. In fact,having done that,I went on to add several other puppies manually as frugal installs, all in ntfs partition. That's my setup.

Here's the latests Claws Mail, I changed the default icon theme, then I compiled a wack of plugins and included them (adds 500kb compressed to the package)
-address keeper
-attachment warner
-attachment remover
-bs filter
-gtkhtml viewer
-mailbox
-Notification
-rssyl
-tnef parser
-vcalendar

I compiled it without gnutls also so it must be using ssl, any testers?

May not be relevant your this thread, but I tested Claws in Akita, needed dbus and dbus-glib from wary5OLD repo, create a symlink, but then it worked fine, really nice.. Thanks for this ttuuxxx, I'm gonna repackage and add to my repo...

Cheers
