Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

hi wiz57 thanks for the reply i understand emotions on this subject run high and everyone rightly has their own opinion but i think every option should at least be considered however i wouldn't pay too much attention to me i have been annoying people for a while on this forum my only worry is that i...

hi all something to think about this thread is about distrowatch candidates but it is also about what is a puppy and where puppy is going in my opinion puppy is not any particular set of code but an idea a relatively small essentially complete easily modified distro that is both very useful but also...

hi dancytron

thanks so much

will check it out

wanderer

hi all

can one make a template
to tell the bookworm script
what to put in and what to leave out of the iso
so that different particular builds are reproducible

wanderer

hi all removed gz chmod 777 put bookworm script in a folder on my hard drive ran the script ran flawlessly didnt take much time made an iso with jwm and firefox booted flawlessly works perfectly looks beautiful posting from the iso now awesome this is what woof-ce should be fredx thank you thank you...

hi fredx thank you so much for this masterpiece and for creating the concept which is truly mind boggling i always wanted to use debian but i didnt want to download 10 gigs this also appears to be the solution of my endless quest for a minimal modular distro i am using the bookworm iso and it is eve...

thank you so much fredx

debiandog is awesome

and thanks for all the other great stuff you have done

wanderer

hi fredx and everyone using bookworm debiandog fantastic work thank you so much for making this can i run mklive bookworm in bookworm debiandog with a wired connection on a computer with 2 gb ram and a 100 gb free ext2 hard drive or do i need 4 gb of ram and how long should it take for the minimal b...

email reminder to distrowatch sent

wanderer

hi all

whoever put the links under the screenshots of bookwormpup
on the puppy linux home page

thank you thank you thank you

i will now email jesse at distrowatch again to remind him of our submission

wanderer

hi tosim thanks for your reply the gui is the desktop sfs file my main distro is upup32 (thanks peebee) which is perfect for me (cant beat perfection) however as i said i think having a minimal modular puppy will greatly add to the appeal of puppy wanderer

hi all i am withdrawing this offer i intend to try to use debiandog to accomplish this goal however i still think this is something the puppy community should look into *** withdrawn *** this is an offer of a commission to develop a puppy i think many people in the puppy community underestimate the ...

hi all is there any way to put a link to the announcement thread for bookworm64 and the announcement thread to bookworm32 underneath the screenshots of each on the puppy linux home page this will satisfy the request of distrowatch for a link to the announcement page and a screenshot i am going to em...

thanks for this great analysis of the pros and cons of ram use vs cpu use vs storage use i do believe that as wiak and others have pointed out "Having a relatively app complete implementation in smallish distro size, along with using own sysVinit based system scripts" is puppys main streng...

hi all

this is just a technical question

is a file symlinked to root

more efficient

than a file mounted to root with a layered filesystem

wanderer

hi dimkr thanks for the explanation/analysis im not really talking about how big everything will end up add ons can be bundled into very large modules to reduce redundancies and cpu use inevitably if you want more stuff things are going to get bigger im talking about the initial impression of the is...

hi all i do believe that modularity can play a role here people are attracted to small iso size as well as low ram and cpu use that is why they are attracted to puppy if you built a distro that had only a browser and a few basic apps terminal text editor filemanager etc but could be added to as desi...

hi redquine usually most of the tinycore tcz including firefox_getLatest work fine i am having a little trouble with firefox now but that may just be a certificate issue in the past there has been problems with firefox and vlc dont know if they have fixed them in 15 but what i am trying to do is see...

what i am working on now is trying to get firefox.sfs (from upup32) running in tinycore it will run the startup script but cannot find a number of dependencies or write files because of inadequate permissions cant create usr/lib/firefox/firefox-run1 (permission denied) usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gsc...

hi geo_c and rockedge the base core of tinycore is 12.7 megs in size (just a ramdrive easily opened modified and closed) to this is added a bootloader (syslinux) and a kernal and any number of tcz extensions which are simple sfs squash files systems these are simply symlinked to the core very simple...

hi all i am requesting help and input (either positive or negative) for my little project in modifying puppy sfs files to work in tinycore i am using tinycore 15 at this time what i do is take a puppy .sfs file rename it .tcz load it into the /tce/optional folder in tinycore have the tinycore app lo...

hi all since rockedge has been kind enough to allow this thread to exist i am reposting this summary of corepup to remind people of this little project puppy is great and needs no improvement i use upupbb 32 as my main distro (thanks peebee) however even though puppy does not need improvement i feel...

thanks mikesir

wanderer

hi mikesir

as i understand we write the text on distrowatch

i have already asked jesse at distrowatch to remove openbox as a default window manager since jwm is the default
but an updated discription would be nice
and then i can send it in

wanderer

hi all just something to think about the way i see it there is 1. our distrowatch candidate 2. and everything else the distrowatch candidate is only the lead in to puppy once someone gets to the forum they see there is a multitude of possibilities the distrowatch candidate does not define or limit w...

hi all i intend to keep this thread alive as a place to discuss what distro will be the next distrowatch candidate in 1 year i will also post any information that i receive from distrowatch on this thread as i have posted before i think we should make bookwormpup the community puppy and always keep ...

hi all i just want to keep this topic in the limelight and this thread is the place to do it bookworm pup has been sent in to distrowatch and eventually they will get around to updating our page but now we only have 1 year left to choose the next distrowatch candidate so we better get moving my proj...

hi bigpup thanks so much for starting this thread without you we would not even have noticed do we really need another thread this thread has a lot of good stuff about the distrowatch candidate and the direction of puppy development a community puppy etc these all seem to be intertwined so we could ...

hi all i guess everyone didnt realize i had submitted bookworm to distrowatch days ago on apr 29 to be exact what i am talking about is the next candidate 1 year from now which i think should be an updated version of bookworm a very minor update that does not require dimkr to be finished with his wo...

thank you so much peebee
thats a big thing
makes it easier for distrowatch and everyone

looks great
