Pupflux 5.1.1 and PfluxLite-5.1.1
The version on this page works great with Pupflux 5.1.1.
I downloaded it, unpacked it, then changed the name by getting rid of the _431, ran bootmanager and added the sfs.
Then, change the fluxbox menu as you normally do, but OpenOffice commands are as such:

simpress, presentation
PfluxLite-5.1.1
Now we got PfluxLite-5.1.1!
Check the first page for download location...thanks to MU for giving a great download location (username: puppy, password: linux).
This was created from scratch using Woof...not totally tiny (120MB) but much smaller than Pupflux 5.1.1 original.
It does not have a browser (easy to install from the menu with Quickpet or run quickpet from terminal), gnumeric, abiword, jwm or icewm.
If someone asks I can upload the devx, but the Lucid devx mentioned before will probably work fine (I think so? I created it using the same settings as Puppy Lucid, just left some things out) but didn't want to take up all of MU's bandwidth.

@ playdayz, it's already in ibiblio under pet packages 5:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... 6-dpup.pet
so I guess it should show in ppm
BTW, while I'm here I'll mention this cool menu button hack I found, see this post on dpup thread for screenshot and links:

pfluxlite
I tried Pfluxlite and I liked it's look.
Oddly I found Geany slow to launch.
______________________________________
Here are some suggestions.
Retrovol should be in the menu rather than alsamixer.
Also you need a version of mhwaveedit that will launch
Retrovol by clicking on icon.
Try this
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-7255dff9.html
set_hwclock should be in the menu as well to be consistent with Lucid Puppy.
Many users won't know how to set the clock if they are booting
on a linux machine rather than a windows machine.
________________________________________________________
I suggest you use this version of mtpaint 3.34.55 .
It's only slightly larger than version 3.31
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-d3a1bd6f.html
______________________________________________
I made a package to put some useful right-click options for Rox Filer.
Try it out. It uses mplayer to play several audio and video formats.

Re: pfluxlite
Thanks, Don, I'll check it out...never used retrovol, so I'll have to look into it...I just picked the mtpaint that was recomended in the woof build and i am trying to keep the size down on pfluxlite...I like the Rox filer ideas, though...didn't notice any slowness on geany but will look into it...like I said, I'll check it out; thanks!...don570 wrote:I tried Pfluxlite and I liked it's look.

stripping applications to save space
You should read forum member shinobar's experience with making lupq
(Lucid Puppy Quickset)
http://208.109.22.214/puppy/viewtopic.p ... d2bc37c11f
Apparently the apps he was getting from Woof weren't stripped!!
It all started when I read about the program strippkg
http://208.109.22.214/puppy/viewtopic.p ... d2bc37c11f.
When I tried using it, I noticed that Retrovol wasn't stripped .
I sent a message to Shinobar to tell him about it. You can read the rest
with the link.

Re: stripping applications to save space
During the woof process, if you have devx running, it gives you the option to run "strip", which I did, although this was my first time to have a completed process with woof, so have no idea how stripped it was...don570 wrote:You should read forum member shinobar's experience with making lupq

intermittent pauses when playing audio cd
Hullo there,
It's back, Pupflux, and I'm digging it. From the desktop right now.
However one little thing I noticed on playing an audio cd with Gnome-MPlayer, about three times a minute sound output ceased for round a second. Optical drive is good (nothing in dmesg about i/o errors). What I have seen of mplayer messages appears normal so far as I can tell. Ran it in a terminal with CD inserted and saw some output as disc was recognised and began to play.. Also just stuck in CD and clicked on it which opened Gnome-MPlayer. What can it mean? I did find myself wondering whether it is periodically trying to get artwork, track details, etc from the net - no network connection at that stage. MP3 playback from USB stick no problem.
Machine is a ThinkPad R51. Live session.
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
Anyone seen this, got any ideas, etc? Afraid I haven't researched it at all.

Re: intermittent pauses when playing audio cd
Hmmm...no specific feedback from me regarding that one...I don't know if mplayer looks for data on the web. I think of mplayer as a universal media player and not as much of a music player...for that i might pick something like pmusic, which I know Pfluxlite has (I'm using that right now) but can't swear to Pupflux...type pmusic in the terminal and see how it plays for you music...gnomic wrote:Hullo there,

pmusic flaw
When I played Audio CD's (that I had burnt) with pmusic 1.3.1
I noticed that the motor of my CD drive was working too hard for the first minute of
the song and for each song of the CD. Commercially burnt CD's didn't have this
problem. I reported this problem to the developer Zigbert
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=600
He basically pinned the problem on ffmpeg and said that there was nothing
he could do.
By the way the program pCD doesn't have this problem so you should always
use that for playing CD's if it's available.

set_hwclock_type
The command at the terminal to set the clock type is 'set_hwclock_type'
Barry discusses this at
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01616
and here's the explanation
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=41680
This is why all recent puppy iso's have setting the
clock type in the menu so it's easy to set.
Forum member shinobar made it part of his countrywizard-0.7.pet.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=58312
I assume that countrywizard can be installed in pfluxlite.
I'll try it tonight.

audio cd interruptions
Thanks for replies.
Found that pmusic plays audio cds without this problem, so sweet as.
Had a look at the mplayer cache mentioned, but altering values had no effect. I think this is intended for streaming audio rather than audio cds.

pcd 1
I installed an old version of pCD on pfluxlite and it worked
perfectly. I highly recommend it over pmusic if you just want to
play CD
_______________________________________
I tried to install countrywizard by shinobar but it gave errors at
the terminal.
So to get the right time what I do is set the right timezone (-4 for me)
then at the terminal I type 'set_hwclock_type'
The file /etc/clock is changed by this command I guess??

All I have to say is PfluxLite is great! I have been looking for a very lite version of Lucid 5.1.1 and it was perfect.
My only issue is the installer bombs. I was able to install Puppy 5.1.1 on the same machine with no problems which has me puzzled. It goes through the install all the way through and even installs grub. But when I go to boot the new install, the only thing there is grub. weird
