All the latest SFSs & Setup Pets for all flavours are available from SourceForge
This SFS version of LxPup is based on the very excellent work by Jejy69 which he shared at:
LXDE packages, lastest versions.
and his LxPup13.01 ISO - as described at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=79810
Significant changes include: lxpanelx replaces lxpanel; gvfs and pcmanfm are updated versions
Another essential "Puppy-developed component" is the Pup-Volume-Monitor developed by akash_rawal
All testing has been done on pristine frugal installs of the base Puppies - I strongly recommend that you test on a similar system as I don't offer any warranty - use at your own risk - please post any feedback.
So the steps to install are:
- 1. Boot a pristine frugal install of the base Puppy
2. Copy the correct SFS for your puppy into a location where it can be loaded
3. Use SFS-Load-On-The-Fly to install the SFS (Do not run any of the components)
4. Install the correct lxpupsetup PET to match the SFS
5. Click the button to activate LxPup-by-SFS
6. Reboot and create a savefile
pcmanfm supports symbolic link creation but it's not very obvious - use shift / ctrl / drag & drop - if this is too hard to remember you can also use rox from the Filesystem menu.
Access to remote filesystems using FTP is all built-in. For Samba shares I rely on the components built-into Slacko but they are arguably better integrated (e.g. you can bookmark the share) - use YASSM Search to find the share and remember it and YASSM Login to re-establish the share when needed but use pcmanfm to access and unmount the share.
Click on the network tray icon to establish a wifi connection.
For reference, the latest SFSs contain the following components (it is entirely possible that some of these may not actually be needed):
elementary_icons + box_icons (these contribute quite a proportion of the overall sfs size).
gvfs-1.12.3
libgnome-keyring-3.4.1
lxde4lxpup-2
Lxde-common-0.5.5
lxde-puppy-menu (but PupShutDown removed)
lxmenu-data-0.1.2
lxpanelx-0.6.0
lxsession-0.4.6.1 / 0.4.9.2 *
lxshortcut-0.1.2
lxtask-1.4
lxterminal-1.11
lxlauncher-0.2.2
lxrandr-0.1.2
openbox-3.5.2
obconf-2.0.4
pcmanfm-1.1.2
polkit-0.105
polkit-gnome-0.102
pup-volume-monitor-0.1.15
* depending on version
N.B. do not try to upgrade the base Puppy to a later version without reverting to JWM and uninstalling both pet and sfs first!!
Add some extra bling by adding Compiz to LxPup-by-SFS - for Slacko version ONLY
Have fun
Cheers
