tasmod and myself are working to improve Startmount. We are aware of a few little bugs and they are fixed for the next version. When the new version is out I will post a message and link on this thread.

I was looking at the Pwireless2 icons, and wonder; do Pwireless use all those icons. I have only seen network-transmit-receive.png and network-offline.png in my tray.

No it doesn't, I was lazy and copied them all. I'll fix that for 2.8.

Thanks for Stardust. First time wireless is working with any flavor Puppy on my HP DV6t-1200 laptop. I'm still having trouble with the audio, as this comes with the IDT High Definition Audio that HP and others are using. Broadcom wireless and this audio are prevalent in more recent HP laptops. Any suggestions would be helpful as forum searches find many people having problems with this audio but solutions either don't work or perhaps are just beyond my limited abilities.

DaveS beat me to the report on the control panel icons for boot configuration. I've tested using the OOo sfs. I replaced my Pwireless2 tray icon with those in the beta 2.6 gtrayicon update pet. (I had not seen zigberts's suggestions.)

I also remove the connect icon from the desktop, once I have a firewall set up and Internet connection working. It would be nice if we could get the stock network wizard and Pwireless2 to coexist. In the meantime, having people fool with the wizard when Pwireless2 is in charge is a hazard. Rather than explain it, when I set up this system for others, I am setting the network up, then removing the icon.

When choosing sfs files to load at boot, does it matter to anyone else if they all must be in /mnt/home? I often run multiple puplets on a single machine for testing. I can get around the requirement to put sfs files in a single directory by renaming, but it would be handy for me to be able to choose a file in the subdirectory associated with that system. (Specified using boot parameter "psubdir=pup431", for example.)

I've attached a screen shot of this installation on a desktop machine using a wireless connection.

Sigmund,

1. Broadcom
I can't re-create the 003 success of getting my broadcom to work in 004. I am now using pupsave from 003 and it works...have no idea (not a modules expert)

2. Patch
Yes, I get what you mean...about the shutdown sound - you only need to insert this line just before any other commands in /usr/bin/wmpoweroff & /usr/bin/wmreboot

Prehistoric, it would be fairly trivial to have a dialog that asks you which you prefer, and then enables or disables Pwireless2. I will think on it.

I've installed Stardust 004 to two more machines, with new testers. Both liked the looks.

While installing packages, after initial setup, I again noticed strange behavior when I installed pets by clicking on them. The first time I do this the message about the category is often wrong. I don't think I've seen exactly this misbehavior on stock 4.3.1. I've spent too much time with different 431 puplets recently to keep everything straight in my head. Has this kind of bug been reported on other puppies?

Once again, I added gimp 2.4.6, this time without problems. I suspect the bug I'm seeing is only for the first pet installed by clicking on it. There might be some data carried over from your development environment.

I tried your GUI for changing settings for trays, so I could make galculator the default calculator. Here it looks like I reached the leading edge of development. I could remove calcoo through the GUI, but not edit the program name, or add a new icon.

I had no trouble adding the Open Office sfs to boot-time options. When I rebooted, it came up with the OOo icons on the desktop, and appears to work. I left one tester playing with this.

The screen shot I posted above was made while I was practicing this installation before I went to the site.

Stardust still looks very good.
