If you like the old jwm-0.24 style and size - the attached archive holds jwm version 0.21x static linked (with xpm support and build-in "xload") - 203K/96K upxed. That is about the smallest it gets while keeping the most of the usual jwm-experience. I have included my xwoaf_jwm_xdg.sh scri...

Only text2pdf needed. The font shown in your editor might be different than the default font used by text2pdf - and that's given the different output.

Changing to "DejaVu Sans" in source will work - but I think "Courier" is more likely to be found on most systems (if font not present you get a blank document out of text2pdf it seems...).

Thanks for testing! There are some switches to control output - "text2pdf -h" will show: text2pdf [options] [filename] text2pdf makes a 7-bit clean PDF file (version 1.1) from any input file. It reads from standard input or a named file, and writes the PDF file to standard output. There ar...

text2pdf

The program is actually very simple to use. All you normally do is
text2pdf myfile > myfile.pdf.
I found it here and created attached source package in which a static linked bin [40k] is included.

It bothered me to release xwoaf-toolchain without the ability to rebuild the old kernel-2.2.25. It needs gcc-2.95.3 or older - every test to patch kernel source to accept gcc-3.x.x have failed. And cross compiling gcc-2.95.3 to work in the toolchain also failed. But: One can build a simple gcc-2.95....

Thanks Keef! Works very well. xwaof boots very fast on my P3 (amd palomino). It's faster than anything :) I put it on ext3, next to several frugal puppies. So it does not have to be ext2. However 2 issues for now: my keyboard is azerty (be-latin1) I have no internet, normally it is a network connec...

Thank you for testing - very nice feedback!
I did have a quick test of xaw3dxft - tested linking with chimera - works OK.
I will try to make a build package with my xawplus variant of xwoaf.

Hmmm, the website says it is in that .rar file, quoting: full source of the mdesk desktop tools added That's a shame if he hasn't actually put it in. In /root/create we get a direct link to where it should be and the naming: cd 1diskxwin-soundproofing ./make remake n ./installX cd .. tar xjf mdesk....

goingnuts, On your xwoaf webpage, you wrote that 1diskx cannot be found anymore. You can get it from this most unlikely URL: http://soundproofingforum.co.uk/soundproofing/soundproofing.htm I have just now run "unrar x mungdev20100301.rar" It has image files for using in qemu. It has 'hda....

Thanks Barry! They are nice findings - especially if the mdesk source "at last" is released. It's like Christmas - lot of presents :D

BarryK: Did not know that one - thanks. I think it gets too big to fit on the 1.44Mb floppy though. I have worked with chimera-1.72.01 with compiles to 752K static linked and it could be on the floppy - but it reduces the amount of other applications that the floppy can hold. chimera-1.72.01 need so...

Keef: Cool - might be your bios handles the usb/keyboard and make them work even with a kernel that knows nothing about usb. Updated buildscript so it now perform as announced. Also added link to final iso and floppy images. iso image can be burnt to CD the usual way - the floppy image can be put on...

slavvo67: It is not a Puppy derivative - but I will make an iso-image and a floppy image available for test. The build takes about 10 minutes though. At some point I thought that one might be able to create a Puppy-like floppy distribution - but I think 1.44 MB is too limiting to get something reall...

xwoaf - rebuild

Now and then I have tried to rebuild xwoaf (x window on a floppy) as I have always been fascinated by this gem done by Terry Loveall in 2004/2005. I actually became a Puppy user after playing with xwoaf for a while - as a naturally next level of tiny distribution choice at that time. This time I alm...

Thanks! You got me on the right track. I have version 4.10 of "file" so I have no "--mimetype" flags to set but below solved it:

Code: Select all

BINARIES=$(file bin/* usr/X11R6/bin/* | grep  'ELF 32-bit LSB executable' | cut -d ":" -f1)

Howto find (true) executables in directories? (Solved)

I need to create a list of executables - but no symlinks or shell scripts or libraries should be included - only "real" programs. I have the following which exclude symlinks but not shell scripts: BINARIES="`$(which ls) -F bin/* usr/X11R6/bin/* | grep "*$" | tr -d '*'`"...
