Tor browser available?
Hi all
I wanted to try out the above and was unable to find this via the Search option. Tried "Tor" and then "Browser", this gave a huge number of threads to go through 
Has anyone provided this as a portable, SFS or Pet file?
Also, can it be updated too?
@Jasper, I made some right now from the latest stable Tor browser package available.
Tor-11.5.7_8.0.sfs
Tor-11.5.7_8.0.sfs
Tor-11.5.7_8.0.sfs-md5.txt
Tor-11.5.7.pet
Tor-11.5.7.pet
SHA1-MD5.txt
I did a quick test and will do one now more extensive so please let me know if this works for you.
Yes I think you can update the PET version.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected 
Jasper, you can download Tor for Linux direct from it's website, https://www.torproject.org/download/, Extract the tar.gz and move the extracted folder wherever you want. It's already a portable.
Then what you'll need is to create the links from it to your system (desktop file and menu entries) and place the apulse files in the 'Tor' folder so that you'll have sound. You can use the Extralibs64.tar.gz package from here, https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewto ... 470#p42470. Tor is actually a modified firefox. You can rename the included 'ff' script to 'torpup' and place that in the extracted folder. Starting tor by clicking the script will 'fully' portablize it and have it use the sound libs included in the package, as explained on that post.
You can install this pet to give it a menu entry.
Tor_portable-menu.petYou'll have to edit the script in /root/my-applications/bin. Change the line which reads:
exec /PATH-TO-torpup-SCRIPT/torpup "$@"
to provide the actual path to the 'torpup' script within your Tor folder.

Thank you so much and I can confirm that it works 
The update function/additional languages etc all work correctly.
I have tried the SFS and will grab the Pet file as well.
@mikeslr
Wow, your message was unexpected but incredibly welcome. I will keep your instructions handy and grab the necessary files in order to follow the steps correctly. 
I am hopeless at creating .desktop entries. I have tried several times but they fail to work. I am so sure someone on the forum creating a GUI for creating these.
I have created Tor browser SFS, version 11.5.8, see blog post:
https://bkhome.org/news/202211/tor-brow ... eated.html
It runs as user spot, and pulseaudio works.
The SFS is only for EasyOS, however it should be possible to open up the SFS and make some changes so that it will work in the pups. But then, as you already have packages available, probably not worth the effort to modify my SFS.
