Well I'm a linux newbie, I started discovering the linux world 4 months ago, with debian, ubuntu, fedora, mint, and others but my old Dell latitude 110l was too old for these monsters, so I gave up and return back to XP until I discovered the tiny distos, and tried puppy it was light but not stable, till I found slitaz, that perfectly do the job, but with some lacks, when I tried ubuntu I liked screenlets a lot , but when I installed slitaz I realised that there is no screenlets for it, I tried to make it myself and I'm happy to share my first succes with you, I installed it and worked perfectly
If you wanna try there are the steps " pour les froncophones je vais faire un wiki en fançais dans quelque instants " :
1-I assume you already have installed Make, bash, perl, etc if not install all of them !!
2-download the source package : I've uploaded it to http://www.4shared.com/archive/id7PbDx_/screenlets-016tar.html
3-extract the contents to your home folder
4-Now it's time for the dependencies !!! :
open your terminal and do some keybord work
# tazpkg get-install python
# tazpkg get-install pygtk
# tazpkg get-install pycairo
# tazpkg get-install python-xdg
# tazpkg get-install python-gnome-desktop
# tazpkg get-install libwnck
# tazpkg get-install librsvg
5-now cd to the extracted folder and :
# make install
6- enter this command :
# gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache
7-lunch the screen lets manager from menu > utilities > screenlets
" you will find the manager completly empty"
8- go to gnome-look.org and download all the widgets you want
9-from the manager click "install" and browse to the location of your widgets and install them one by by one
10-lunch the widgets from the manager and congrats !!!
