WOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!! It's going in the next release because I've already debugged Alpha2 with Firepup/Sylpheed ready for upload. If people want to add it for testing, that should be ok because Alpha2 doesn't have Seamonkey by default. Great news about including MonkeyMenu and Seafox theme in the package, too! If anyone also wants to add nifty icons to their drop down menus, you can get CuteMenus as an add-on from the Seamonkey home page. Thanks for all the hard work and burnt midnight oil, ttuuxxx! (Is that a Peter Garrett joke?  )

Your welcome WhoDo  Glad its done and over with
It also plays fullscreen on youtube, And like I stated before it doesn't crash when the insert is press and Print Screen works. For once I'm actually starting to like SeaMonkey. If you have any room left over Flashblock would be a really great addon to include. ttuuxxx _________________ http://audio.online-convert.com/ <-- excellent site http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/ <-- Codec Test Files http://html5games.com/ <-- excellent HTML5 games |

Well, now, I wouldn't say THAT!  If we are going to include Seamonkey there will be a whole bunch of people who will also expect Seamonkey mail, since that's where their messages are currently stored. I'm willing to bet they will want to drop Sylpheed for Seamonkey with Mail/News support.
As a matter of interest, your 1.1.14 is 30Mb expanded - 6Mb less than Barry's 1.1.11-1 version that included Mail/News. I wonder if the Mail/News component would bring your version up above that? Again for interest's sake, Sylpheed-2.6.0 expanded is only a little over 1Mb. I'll have to check and see what is missing to save so much space (negative viewpoint, I know, but it's informed by experience).
Ah, yes! That already makes Seamonkey-1.1.14 in Puppy-4.2 a much improved version. I was going to ask about Flashblock and Adblock add-ons. And maybe CuteMenus. Maybe we can be a showcase for what Seamonkey can do with a little bit of tweaking, eh?  I'm especially glad you got your seach engine's to work like Firepup. That's a "must have" feature IMHO.

Yes? Yes? Where is this "Alpha2" of which you speak?

Hey WhoDo When it comes to mail and Semonkey, It will push the size to around 2-2.5MB compressed, Thats why I left it out since Sylpheed was around 0.5MB give or take compressed and you were running out of space, would it really be worth 2MB extra compress, just to say that we are using a more popular but uglier email client, I could include about 15 different programs to puppy in that amount of space, Or 50 IceWM themes kidding, I still think Xarchiver should be included even if not default, sure it crashes if you click the right screen, but you don't need to click that side of screen for any reason, you just click left side and then click the extract button and it works perfect every time, I'm wondering if that crashing thing is gtk2 related like the Seamonkey crashes, and the Seamonkey compiling problems. Hmmm.
If We have any Bored developers, Xarchiver is calling you:) We really could use a stable version, Since it was just so handy to use with all this Seamonkey, FireFox, IceCat Compiling that went on, If I would of used Xarchive it would of taken a min of 4HR just to extract the sources once, where Xarchiver was like 2 mins each. Plus then all the configuring I did with the Seamonkey jar,xpi, which Xarchive couldn't even open those formats out of the box, usually you have to rename them. ttuuxxx _________________ http://audio.online-convert.com/ <-- excellent site http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/ <-- Codec Test Files http://html5games.com/ <-- excellent HTML5 games |

Your point is not lost on me, ttuuxxx. Zigbert could probably find 100 uses for the extra room, too! We'll see what the reaction is after Alpha2 hits the shelves tonight. Sylpheed is certainly much more economical. Like many, I don't know it at all, so I'm going to take the opportunity to play with it while you guys debug Alpha2.
It's in Alpha2, Jeff. A promise is a promise where I come from! It seems useful, just buggy. We'll see how the users react.
It's in ... it's in! They'll get their chance to find the bugs in that app and it's not so mainstream as to bother the average user one way or the other. Most will never know it's there. I could put Xarchive back alongside for the next release, if it becomes a problem.

Just another victim of the "fertile ground" marketing ploy: announce a product well ahead of schedule, saturate the marketplace with hype about its arrival and hold off delivering until the saliva is literally dripping from their lips! Bill taught me that one! The difference is I haven't yet stooped to calling the included bugs "features" - well not seriously anyway!

Half on the printing... first managed to get to the password screen.. put in puppy instead of root and it looked at me.... got past that...
Added printer.... it found the canon ip4300 no problem.... Seems no ppd available... tried generic postscript, said it did something, but no print. Tried changing to OTHER manufactures.... option seems to not work. Added new printer, with new name to distinguish, used HP options, no go... So guess next step is trying to find correct ppd, back in other operating system and searched for ppd on the net..... did not find what I need. Next would be to figure out where to place it... or will it find it at any location? Such as the memory stick? Conclusion: 1) I think with the correct ppd it might work.... 2) Procedures are not as easy to use as old routines!!! 3) Total newbie will be confused I think? I am on the road, at home I have a brother printer and ppd might be included? Moving forward
P.S. Can I pull the PPD file from files on the alpha CD? Or an older version? |

Hi So true - been following this with much interest - just got a new EeePc 701SD with Wdoze ('cos it was cheap in the sale) thats just begging to try the next alpha and all its goodies and fixes etc. Looking forward to downloading later. Once again - so many thanks to all involved with this CE in the making - all the effort is much appreciated and when the final is released, the world will definitely be a better place. Best regards to all - Ray |

The ppd is specific to your printer model. I have a canon mp180, I couldn't find my ppd anywhere but the printer is supported by 'Gutenprint'. It is available in the Puppy repository. _________________ Puppy Linux Blog - contact me for access |

If I got it right, mhWaveEdit starts with its own settings and then stores any changes in /root/.mhwaveedit/config, which doesn't exist on the first run. I tried making a /root/.mhwaveedit/config text file with just this line: mixerUtility = sgmixer before starting mhWaveEdit in a "virgin" session (pfix=ram), and in fact sGmixer was then correctly called by the mixer button at the far right in mhWaveEdit's task bar as well as by the "Launch mixer" tab in the recording monitor window. The other option seemingly is to compile all over again after changing "xmixer" to "sgmixer" in the source... Any volunteer?

Micko : or anyone Help.... I looked for a very long time on the web and finally found gutenprint-5.0.0.tar.gz at ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pupget_packages-1/ OK...understand this is a compressed file... Tried to unzip in alpha CD boot... I am a newbie with Linux... I do not understand where things go or how all of this works specifically. I am possibly 30-40% up the learning curve.... I can wiz with other computer languages and systems... but do not have experience to understand where to find things or where to put things in Puppy. 1) So please, I need to know where to Unzip those drivers, more specific instructions please. 2) Will they then show in the pull down menu of cusp or can I access them from the browse that looks for the ppd? Will be happy to continue testing with some help please. As mentioned the current driver system on the raw CD works... so it possible to simply move those drivers over to the cusp directory or library? Greg |
