rc.z_MGR-12.sh   a Work-Flow Manager program. 

==================

[]
MGR is a "Study" in BASH / GTK applications, not a "Turn-Key" app.
MGR provides Work-Flow-Control by switching/loading any one of 27+ Puppy Distros. 
[]
MGR is :
+ Written in BASH + GTK code.
+ Tested on 27 different Puppy Linux Distros. which active on my computer.
+ Each Distro is tested with the original BASH and original GTK,
+ . . . as published by PeaBee and Mike0 , original authors, etc.
[] MGR [/]
+ Written in BASH + GTK code.
+ GTK Notebook Screens : System, Menu-Select, BackUp, Doc-Help, Utility-Image
+ BASH coded pages : System, Menu-Select, BackUp, Doc-Help, Utility-Image
where one < button 'BASH_IT' > flips the paging code from GTK to BASH and back.
+ Double-Click < button > coding
+ Embeded-Graphics < button > coding .

[] MGR has been a comparison of Korn Shell vs BASH code methods.
[] MGR has been a special 'study': BASH versus GTK ;
...wherein, we have written two embedded user-selectable menu methods:
... ...(1) GTK 'Notebook' Screens
... ...(2) BASH coded page screens

MGR runs without being "dependent" on auxilliary programs.
All required image/icons and subroutines are embedded..
No PET required, simply drop all scripts into /root/my-applications and set system "PATH"
This "/root/my-applications " is created by the PUPPY system during "init" and "profile".

===================================================

[] Warning ...
Do Not DownLoad the main MGR script, 10,000 lines of Bash and GTK.
MGR series is clean and demonstrates GTK and BASH menu building techniques.
The Source is Readable, Modular, Stable , but Not for the faint of heart.
MGR is a "Study" in BASH / GTK applications, not a "Turn-Key" app.
MGR provides switching control of 27+ Puppy Distros during development.[/color]

=== "Science" requires "Exploration, Analysis, Appreciation"

[] Latest UpDated Version of MGR-12.sh
[]PURPOSE of the "MGR" project:
Personal project to control testing BASH/GTK on 22+ Puppy Linux Frugal Installs.
Personal project to study differences [] "Korn Shell" to "BASH" [], when combined with GTK.
[]
No PET required. MGR is has no "dependencies" scattered across the OS.
Minimum method is
(1) to Place the MGR.sh script in /root/my-applications, ( no dependency files )
(2) then link to screen.
(note) These subdir is created during the normal PUPPY /init and /profile processes.

=== MGR is NOT a TURN-KEY application.
=== Only for STUDY, the way one studies a book to learn.

#~ *( from Puppy Linux site
#~
#~ Here are the extra puppy boot options for LUPUP 5.2.0 and all other lupu puppies.
#~ (most puppy versions should also use similar boot options but specialised ones may not).
#~ Its a good idea to have these boot options
#~ when you have to configure a bootloader such as Grub, Grub2 or syslinux.
#~ grub4dos can automatically detect and configure the boot loader for you
#~ even with a frugal install.
#~
#~ acpi=off Default on for PCs >2001, may give boot/shutdown Probs
#~ pfix=ram Run totally in RAM ignore saved sessions
#~ pfix=nox commandline only, do not start x
#~ pfix=copy copy .sfs files to RAM (slower boot, faster running)
#~ pfix=nocopy do not copy .sfs to RAM (faster boot, slower running
#~ pfix=fsck do filesystem check on lupusave (and host partition)
#~ pfix=clean file cleanup (simulate version upgrade)
#~ pfix=purge more radical file cleanup (to fix broken systems)
#~ pfix= Number of save files to ignore
#~
#~ ************************************************************************
#~
#~ Maybe people who are interested in the first part of the boot options
#~ also want to know about the 2nd part (from Lupu-525):
#~
#~ The following are mostly in GRUB/Syslinux setup for installed Puppy. Files are
#~ found automatically at bootup but these can help the 'init' script. Examples:
#~
#~ pdev1=sdc1 The boot partition.
#~ psubdir=puppies/wary501 Path in which Puppy is installed.
#~ psavemark=2 Partition no. (in boot drive) to save session to.
#~
#~ pmedia=usbflash Type of media booting from.
#~ Choose one of these:
#~ usbflash usbhd usbcd ataflash atahd atacd atazip scsihd scsicd cd
#~
#~ pupsfs=sdc1:/puppies/wary501/puppy.sfs Override auto search.
#~ zdrv=sdc1:/puppies/wary501/zdrv.sfs Override auto search.
#~ not for Save.2fs !!!
#~
#~ The following are for debugging, for experts only:
#~ loglevel= Bootup verbosity. 7 is high verbosity for debugging.
#~ pfix=rdsh Execute 'init' then dropout to prompt in initramfs.
#~ pfix=rdsh0 Dropout early, before loading kernel drivers.
#~ pfix=rdsh6 Dropout just before mount layered filesystem.

#~
#~ About
#~ GRUBforDOS is a Boot Loader.
#~ It has compatibility with Grub
#~ but it can also be installed on non-linux NTFS/FAT filesystems
#~ which are more common on Windows preinstalled PC's.
#~
#~ GRUBforDOS supports vfat, ntfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs
#~ (grub4dosconfig-version 1.7 and later),
#~ but the reiserfs support has some limitation.
#~
#~
#~ Using
#~ Grub4DosConfig is built into many Puppy version.
#~ It is an easy to use GUI for Grub4Dos
#~ simply go to-PuppyMenu > System > Grub4Dos bootloader config
#~
#~ Instructions are here-
#~ GrubForDosConfig Help
#~
#~ Also see, example menu.1st file below-
#~
#~ Alternatively download and install

#~
#~ Installation
#~ On a Installation Frugal use bootlace-
#~ BOOTLACE writes GRLDR BOOT RECORD to MBR or to the boot area of a file system.
#~ Usage: bootlace.com [OPTIONS] DEVICE_OR_FILE
#~ Options: --read-only, --floppy[=N], --boot-prevmbr-first, --boot-prevmbr-last,
#~ --no-backup-mbr, --force-backup-mbr, --mbr-enable-floppy, --mbr-disable-floppy,
#~ --mbr-enable-osbr, --mbr-disable-osbr, --duce, --time-out=T, --hot-key=K,
#~ --preferred-drive=D, --preferred-partition=P, --sectors-per-track=S, --heads=H,
#~ --start-sector=B, --total-sectors=C, --install-partition=I, --lba, --chs,
#~ --fat12, --fat16, --fat32, --vfat, --ntfs, --ext2, --serial-number=SN,
#~ --restore-mbr, --mbr-no-bpb, --chs-no-tune
#~ DEVICE_OR_FILE: Filename of the device or image. For DOS, a BIOS drive number
#~ (in hex 0xHH or decimal DDD format)can be used to access the drive.
