Hi guys, well I compiled Seamonkey 2, and well I really don't like the default theme, so I looked at the small amount of themes they had and used some graphics from the older firefox theme they had, after using it for a bit during testing, I decide to do away with the main browser icons and update them to gtk, well this took a few hours, because they don't use individual icons. They use block sheet icons like 120x150px which have 20 24x24 icons on it, there were 3 of them. grrrr
anyways now it looks very close to the latest Firefox for the first time and I'm not using any plugins to make it look like this, just manually configuring it.

Hi Guys I converted the older firefox-seamonkey theme addon to gtk2 look, just extra the tar.gz, run Tools/Addon Manager and drop the xpi file on the window and it will install.

The more people put into this release, The more effort I'll put in, If you want a stable new version of 4 series, then voice your opinions and lend a hand please, I've feel like this release has hit the end of the road but If you want to prove me wrong then let her rip

If all goes well, and there is a need for 4 series, I'll release 2 other versions of it, a vortex version and a reduced older driver version which should make it around the 100MB area or less.

I have had enough of wary and lupu for awhile. I have your 432****001.iso and would like to try your upgrade but being on dialup it’s really tough to get a working ISO

Any chance of getting a 001 > 002 delta?

Fresh frugal install on my main Linux box. Sound, internet and correct screen resolution on boot.
Flash download worked fine. Installed the Cups/help fix pet..... no printer to test but help now works.
Looks really solid so far. New SeaMonkey is much better.

I did a frugal install with the universal installer and that worked
fine but when I ran grub4dos it didn't work.I ended running grub4dos from another puppy frugal install on the pc and it worked fine.
I installed the devx and compiled and made a couple of pets, if you
want them (htop 09 and links 2.3pre1)I'll upload them later.
Going to try out 432 some more now.

edit:Gxine works nice, I played a dvd movie and it played full screen,
also played an audio cd.
Pcd works good too, ripped a cd with it and that worked well.

I've attached htop to this message, it's 48kb. I won't attach the
browser, it's pretty big at 1845 kb.

Maybe I could make a Xdelta but it won't be for a day or two, Kind of busy this time of year now

grub4dos is new for 4 series, Barry didn't have a pet for 4 series so I used 5 series pet, I haven't looked at it yet or tested it, But if you have a working pet please submit and fixes that are tested and works, Just make sure all .bin and .so files are stripped.
strip -R .note -R .comment filename.so
as for new file changes or additions, I would rather work on getting it stable first. Updates and fixes are what are needed first

and yes htop, lxtask, galculator, couple small games and some small music player will probably be the only new software additions.

One thing I like is that for once flash actually downloads and installs properly from adobe, usually we have to include it or offer a pet.
I think its because of flashblock being installed and setup and the extra parts.

Thanks for the delta. A 37Mb file should only take about 2.5 > 3 hours coming from your site. I have been having a real bad time with large downloads from ibiblio.org and the mirrors. I get about 25Mb into a 130 Mb file and the download stops saying it’s complete

Thanks Again:

Merry Christmas

@ttuuxxx,

I'll download and test today. It's the least I can do to in return for all the work you put in for the rest of us. I want to thank you for all the hard work you put into all these packages. Please don't give up on helping with the 'other' version. We all need your input, even if it seems at first to be a thankless task. I am aware of how much time it takes to do these things and I want you to know that I value these contributions, knowing full well the cost.

I have some noob questions before I install this version;

Is there a write-up somewhere that explains the use of the new grub4dos completely? And what actions the installer takes? (I do full installs. I always have to go back and fix grub because the default actions never fit my systems, which all consist of one or more windows partitions and several linux installs. And grub is always already installed. I'd be happy if I could just paste the proper command line into my existing menu.lst.) I'll test with pfix=ram until I see your response to this.

Does this release use PPM? How can I find or tell which applications are compatible?

I have a neighbor lady who is without internet access, I gave her a computer, she uses it to play games on. I'd like to install puppy with a bunch of games on it for her. Is there a way for me to burn the apps on a dvd and install them off that?

Thanks again for all the work you contribute to our favorite distro. Sorry for the noobiness of my questions. I only have limited time available to try to keep up, and I get in trouble with pets scattered all over the forum sometimes.

Merry Christmas to you. Maybe we will call you Santa Claus.

The Good, The Bad and The Odd
Odd: I was very surprised that my ttySLO modem was found on the first boot from the live CD. This modem usually requires a second boot to be picked up on. At least that was the way rerwin configured it for some winmodems. It did take a second boot after I did a full hd install for the modem to be found. Either way it works

Good: My ps2 mouse is found and working upon bootup without having to unplug it and plug it in again. Can't say the same for quirk,wary and lupu.
Bad: Grub in the System Menu is a no go. "Grub Bootloader Config" responds with "I can't find grub on the system"

The Universal installer stops after a full HD install. The windows that pops up and says press OK to continue to install grub does nothing.
Installing Grub4dos from the System menu is not a very good option in all cases. Leave my MBR ALONE!!!
Old Grub really needs to be working so grub can be installed to the root "superblock" of a linux partition not just destroy a windows MBR like grub4dos whats to do.

Just for a note: Wingrub/grub4dos is often seen as a rootkit by many high end utilities in windows.

Hi guys maybe you missed a couple post it looks like grub4dos needs packaging, I'll work on it in a couple of hours and post a package. Barry added grub4dos to the woof system for all puppies but he didn't make a package for 4 series, So I used 5 series grub4dos but it looks like its not compatible for 4 series.
