I suppose I could add wxPython, but I don't use it myself, so I didn't really consider it. I know Guido says it's the stuff and all, though, so maybe next release. As far as releasing packages, I'll probably do that soon, once my current move is completed.

I briefly looked at Genie, and while it's pretty impressive, gcc is a little too heavy for a live-CD. When I get some time, though, I might play with it for my own edification.

No Parseltongue, no . . . I tried really hard to come up with a clever pun here, but failed.

I've completed a new version of Thnake, a puplet based on 4.31 that is designed for people who want to learn Python and/or Common Lisp. It includes Python 2.6.4 with Tkinter, PyGTK, and the CherryPy web framework, and SBCL (Steel Bank Common Lisp) with Emacs and SLIME pre-configured, the LTK GUI too...

All - I've made a number of packages available at http://jasonfruit.com/puppy-packages . The most interesting are: emacs-22.3 w3m-0.5.2 emacs-w3m-1.4.4 sbcl-1.0.20 All of them are compiled for i486 except for Emacs, which is i686 (as the filename suggests). To use w3m with Emacs for text browsing, y...

I notice that in /usr/share/books, Habakkuk is spelled Habakuk, which makes it so no reference in that book can be retrieved. When I changed it, it worked fine; this might be a good thing to fix in future releases. I remember when I was fairly young, the preacher asked me during the service to read ...

Installing goffice-0.6.3 did the trick for me.

adaniel: What Lisp implementation are you using with the Puppy 3.01 installation? And have you done anything to add syntax highlighting and rational indentation for Lisp to Geany? I am looking at writing a settings file for Lisp for Geany and recompiling it to use it, but there's precious little doc...

Umm . . . yeah - I haven't been getting much sleep recently. I moved the command to a shell script.

Sorry, all.

I'm trying to make a PET package of the Common Lisp webserver Hunchentoot, installing it via ASDF-INSTALL. When I do so using this command:
new2dir wipes out the quotation marks, and the command fails. How can I make it work?

@technosaurus: I checked out the revised version of the web desktop - that's a much smarter implementation of the same idea. Nice!

FYI - after conversing with some Lisp folks, I'm going to refocus this project. I'll be removing the Python stuff, adding additional Common Lisp libraries, documentation, and instructional material, and re-releasing the whole thing on a proper website. Has anyone downloaded this? Any comments? (I re...

@Technosaurus - Is installing additional software such an essential function that it belongs on the bar, in its own special menu? I have my concerns about a menu-based installer - inexperienced users need a clear distinction between software that's on their machine and software that would have to be...

I downloaded it and ran it in QEMU - everything looks great. I had planned on doing this myself, so thank you for saving me the effort!

Thnake is a Puppy 4.0.0 derivative intended to let people try Python and Lisp programming using Emacs from a live CD without going through the trouble of setting it up themselves. Most of the user apps are removed, and the following are added: - Emacs 22.3 - Python 2.5 w. Tkinter - Tcl/Tk 8.5 - Stee...

I guess I don't understand - which may well be my fault. Puppy has a native package format, PETs, which have really worked well for me; I've been able to easily make new ones, compiling from source, including the TWM window manager, Emacs, Python 2.6, and others. Why would we go to the trouble of re...
