When the add/remove scripts are used, 'fixmenus' runs, followed by 'jwm -restart'.same as Puppy does when installing packages (which doesn't close anything you may have open.)įred's 'ff' script and my 'LAUNCH' script have been combined, along with now creating the 'profile' directory at the top 'level. MenuAdd & MenuRemove scripts are self-explanatory, and the 'MenuReadMe' explains how to use them effectively. Since then, I've also added the ability to add a Menu entry from wherever the portable directory has been located.
He was absolutely delighted with it, and I retained the concept, because I thought it was a better layout. Hence the 'LAUNCH' script.and by placing the entire thing on a suitably-formatted flash drive, it was totally portable, and he could plug it in & use it anywhere he wanted. (He admitted he wasn't very good with Linux, and he was so nice - and very polite with it - that I did what I could to make it easier for him). So I used the then current Firefox ESR, basically using Fred's layout, but with the clearly labelled 'LAUNCH' script at the top 'level', pointing to the 'ff' script inside. My use of the 'LAUNCH' script first came about through helping a sweet old guy over at BleepingComputer, who'd made the switch to Puppy and wanted to have a 'shared' browser he could use with more than one Puppy/machine. That original release of Fred's 'showed the way', as it were, and set me on a path which still has no end in sight. It was a concept I'd encountered years before in Windows XP, and one which I'd always wanted to get working in Puppy. This kept everything together in one place, and allowed the entire browser directory to be moved from one location to another.hence, it became 'portable', no longer being tethered to a fixed, 'standard' location. That script made use of the Firefox ability to specify the location of its profile directory, so Fred used this to create the Firefox profile inside the 'firefox' directory. This is a further "re-work" of Fred's original FF-portable.įred's original simply placed a short script, called 'ff', inside the firefox directory. So I've 're-jigged', & built some new versions in my now 'standard' portable layout. It struck me last night, it's been a while since I created any updated packages for these.
