Hi Toni,
I've downloaded your new MintPup-jwm_icewm iso and am posting from it now. I'm using Firefox which I installed via
Code: Select all
apt-get update
apt-get install firefox
I've also added flashplayer using utility JWM menu -> Settings -> FlashPlayer Choice. Personally, I'm currently using choice 2, which is flash version 11.x.
Then I set timezone with JWM menu -> Settings -> Set TimeZone
Note that I continue to use the Porteus boot with save changes on EXIT method (which is my favourite), currently from my hard drive /mnt/sda4 partition using menu.lst entry below (note that the following assumes/uses a more standard MintPup-Frugal-Install type grub4dos installation rather than a syslinix or iso-based installation created by windows installers 'rufus' or 'isoboot-win'):
Code: Select all
title Mint - Porteus save on EXIT in directory /casper/changes
root (hd0,3)
kernel /casper/vmlinuz noauto from=/ changes=EXIT:/casper/
initrd /casper/initrd1.xzWilliam

EDIT: Note, if you want mesa accelerated graphics, you need to install that facility using
Code: Select all
apt-get install libgl1-mesa-driEDIT2: Note that you don't need to reboot to save changes at any time, even with Porteus save on EXIT only boot method. You can as an alternative run the command
Code: Select all
save2flashEDIT3: By the way, I normally install the additional lxterminal since it provides a tabbed terminal interface including scroll bars and easier cut and paste commandline functionality:
Code: Select all
apt-get install lxterminal
Code: Select all
apt-get purge lxterminal
apt-get autoremove

To install it, I just opened a terminal at the directory where I had the dogradio deb package stored and issued the command:
Code: Select all
dpkg -i dogradio_0.0.3.deb
Code: Select all
apt-get install -f
That's a bit of a heavy addition if you don't really want conky. The MintPup-jwm_icewm provides xhippo by default, which provides a light-weight albeit less-user-friendly alternative to play radio stations (open xhippo and right-click Load playlist -> 0default.d.xplist). You can make new playlists from existing Pmusic or Simple GTK radio playlists using the MintPup-jwm_icewm default provided utility: JWM menu -> Multimedia -> DoMyFile utility.
Anyway, this post just provides a simple illustration of how easy it is to adapt this wee Linux Mint/DebianDog-based distribution to any flavour you want using the power of full dpkg/apt package management capability! :-) After that, you can remaster, if you wish
though I prefer to just stick with my Porteus boot method changes directory.saintless wrote: Remastering GUI scripts work (but I prefer to use remaster-mint-cli because it is well tested in MintPup).
EDIT5: @Pelo: If you want to install default downloadable version of Chromium webbrowser, which cannot (without commandline options) be run as user root, you could install and use Chromium browser as a normal user (for example, via the provided login user 'puppy') by doing the following:
First start up the login display manager xdm using commandline:
Code: Select all
xdm-start
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
sudo is required to get necessary root install privileges here because with this method, you will have logged-in as normal user puppy rather than as root user.
Personally, I haven't actually tried installing Chromium but believe above should work.
Prior to its installation, I found the Mint/Ubuntu repository's correct package name for the Chromium webbrowser, 'chromium-browser', by doing a search using commandline:
Code: Select all
apt-cache search chromiumWilliam
