So much has changed here..... Yes, now I'm using Ubuntu, but still use Puppy as a little fun thing to do. But to the point: Just thought I'd like to tell everyone this. :D Puppy is featured on Digg!!! OR at least, on a website featuring the TOP 35 LINUX DISTROS!!! And here is the evidence: http://di...

Wow... all of this while I was away???? Whoever did this is weird and mad. Obviously they want to kill Puppy for no reason. :evil: As for security stuff, here is my story: My website was hacked. The index.html had been changed. THis guy was also attempting to install viruses on me to, with an MP3 vi...

@willhunt: You mean: ./configure make make install dir2tgz tgz2pet Not really different. Maybe a bit more complex... How packpet works: Looks for directories with source... then executes ./configure --prefix= (current directory) /buildp/ (package name)/(prefix) . Then, executes make and make install...

I have done some hard work, and there it is: packpup! Also, I fixed some bugs in packpet. Bugs fixed: - Library links are not inside - The package size is larger than required - More features..... packpup makes DotPups from source. It builds the program, and packs it into a PUP. It does the dirty wo...

I made it for myself mostly, because I am lazy too....

I will soon update the script and also release packpup soon.

These scripts will lead to petpuptools, a set of simple but useful pet/pup tools.

Enjoy....

I have a nice tool I made for myself. This script will take all the source packages (already extracted), compile them, and turn them into pets for your own Puppy distribution (if you are making one). That means.... If I want GIMP in my distro, I just download the tar.gz from gimp's website, extract ...

Wow.. that fast????

The interface looks a little too much orange (not a good icon set).

Puppy 3.0.1 was a bit of a pain....

The older Puppies (2.xx) are usable and workable. I wouldn't stop using that for now....

Is Puppy 4 going to be based on T2?

packpet is a little script I made that can automatically package tgzs out of source packages. For example: I download vim source package. I put the script into the same directory as the vim source is. Now I run packpet and in a while, the script finishes and volla, my pets are in there! Right now it...

I am finally back.... Interesting to see Puppy 3.00. Very nice design and work! Now the bug: There are timestamp problems in Puppy. If I compile a program, sometimes it will recompile infinitely. I took a look at what make was outputing. It outputed: make[3]: Warning: File `/usr/include/glib-2.0/gli...

What is fbsplash? :?: fbsplash is a better version of bootsplash. Bootsplash development is currently stopped for some reasons... And Splasy isn't exacly good (it requires YOU to tell it when to show/stop.) So I've decided to attempt to implement fbsplash to Puppy(and CoolPup). fbsplash is @ http://...

Never mind. Rebooting let me dele the files.

Thanks anyway,

As I just said. There are these ".fuse" files (with numbers at the end of them) that no matter what, I can't delete these files! And if I delete one, another one comes.... Look: http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb110/jimhap/screen3.png http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb110/jimhap/scre...

Is it the base packages proposed in the 2.17 list, or the 2.16 base packages list?

And are they different? (Just in case you kept it the same)

Weird questions right? Just making sure I don't jump upgrade again....

jimhap

Weird.... I already have it, but it still wants it! (By the way, this is from my CUPS error log, source compiled. A part from the error log: ) -------------- D [06/Jul/2007:00:21:05 +0800] [Job 19] renderer command: gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs -sDev...

just wondering- how come you don't use MediaWiki? Does it have more bugs or something?

Yes it's slow. I am using the 2.14 core, but I've decided to go use 2.16.1 now... And to make it more interesting, I am 2000 miles away from home! (The files are on the desktop computer, and I don't have a laptop...) -- Could anyone help me with development? One of the things I need to do is to make...

I ran this at the command prompt: # gdm And it said: gdm_config_parse: Authdir /usr/var/gdm does not exist. Aborting.

I'm back! After a long weird week(s) (problems, etc.) I am back! Now back to the topic. I posted a dotPup request topic, and lots of people responded. Some people mentioned educational software. That gave me an idea..... Educational Software + Puppy Linux 2.14 = EduPup (from Edubuntu) I won't manage...

He said that most customers run a distribution - RedHat, Novell, Suse or Mandriva. Most of the work on maintaining the Linux kernel is done by developers working for these distributions, he noted "They are full-time employees, with 401K stock options. Some work for IBM or Oracle. What does tha...

badvista.org gives me alot of stuff.....
