What he means is that you need to have the developer's sfs file running at startup, which will enable puppy to have a compiler and other programming utilities. Read the "C/C++ compiling" section at the following page: http://puppylinux.com/hard-puppy.htm It will explain how to get the devx...

Your card is the Geforce7000, and your motherboard's chipset is an nvidia610m (it takes care of setting other stuff different form your video, like sata/ide drives, network adapter, etc). For you card you could try these drivers out: http://files.wildspad.com/afecelis/linux/puppy/drivers/NVIDIA-177....

In my opinion, Flexxx is the best puplet I've tried out so far. It comes with everything ready: firefox 3.0.4, opera, wine, java, good multimedia player, codecs for every format, nice look n' feel, and the usual 4.1.1 apps plus another very useful bunch placed in by the author. I've made it my defau...

Yup, I forgot to mention which pupplet I was using. I'm using Flexxx Nibiru 1.3.1, based on puppy 4.1.1, and it seems to come with everything the pet requires.
Other pupplets seem to be more "radical" on the stripping-down process.

Confirmed. I just started with a clean installation from scratch, to make sure it wasn't reading any of the libararies and files I had installed previously, and ttuuxxx's file installed and ran properly.

great addon for your software repo.

ttuuxxx, this version works great!!! thanks a lot.
Here's another mirror in case someone else needs it

@Bob: I tried everything as you suggested, and things "behaved" as you described. With the uncompressed folder, the pet installer is able to run fine; however, when I tried to run Inkscape the system "hung" and started acting weird, so I rebooted, and when entering the dektop, al...

ahhhhh! Great Bob! Thanks for the detailed explanation. It's very clear and concise. I also got Ubuntu so I'll be able to follow your indications millimetrically, hehehehe

Will try when I return home.

Regards and thanks,

Alvaro

arrrgggghhh! I hate getting the:

Concurrent download limit exceeded.

message all the time!

can anyone mirror the file somewhere plz?

cheers,

Alvaro

Just found another version by ttuuxxx here:
http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/ttuuxxx/pr ... 6-i386.pet

but as usual, servers are completely flooded and unavailable

Aitch, could you please post the link to Jason's file? ;) regards, Alvaro ps. NM, I already saw the link above :oops: :oops: :oops: EDITED: Indeed, what Bob reports is right. The pet package manager reports an error when trying to install the .pet: http://files.wildspad.com/afecelis/linux/puppy/inks...

more 3d accelerated stuff; the Puppy compiling and running Irrlicht! Gotta love it!

hehehe, it's really not a problem; Puppy is becoming too popular and it's flooding all servers!

regards,

Alvaro

Great!
I'm very glad it helped. I hope others can benefit and download the driver from the link I posted.

regards,

Alvaro

The mirror I had found was this one: http://puppylinux.igsobe.com/puppylinux/tpp/NOP/ But it now seems to be dead as well. However, I uploaded a copy to my ftp, so grab it here: http://files.wildspad.com/afecelis/linux/puppy/drivers/NVIDIA-177.82-k2.6.25.16.pet ;) Regards, Alvaro ps. This is the ver...

yay! the puppy running a scene exported from blender into equinox and wings3d!

Excellent! thanks a lot! :D I was able to get the drivers from another mirror, and now I got 3d acceleration. I'm getting 13000-17000 when running glxgears: http://files.wildspad.com/afecelis/linux/puppy/puppy_glxgears.jpg And with the developer's sfs pack I was able to compile yafray for blender! N...

:D :D :D Eyes-Only, your words truly are both inspirational and motivating! :D Indeed they describe how I feel right now seeing and feeling so much power in something so small. I also agree Linux was thought to offer its users a true computing experience without limitations of any type, but with the...

thanks a lot Whodo. Puppy has got so much to explore! You begin with the basic stuff, then you want window managers, then you find th epuplets, then you see how it easy it is to update your puppy by replacing files, etc etc etc!!! It's a never ending story! So I found out Flexxxpup Nibiru and tried ...

Gray, thanks a lot for your drivers. It's amazing (and I'm very thrilled) to have the possibility of running nvidia's 3d acceleration in puppy, however, everytime I try to download something from your NOP files I get the following message: Concurrent download limit exceeded. With everything and ever...
