It's been an age since I last posted a reply to this forum, and it was Barry's Quirky for the Raspberry Pi that got me back, combining my old enthusiasm for Puppy-related distributions and my new enthusiasm for the Raspberry pi. I downloaded the file, burnt it to a 32GB SD card, booted, and there it...

I haven't seen much traffic in this forum topic lately, and I haven't seen any recent mentions about the pi in Barry's blog. Does anyone know if there's going to be any further development of this version of Puppy?

The latest recommended debian distribution for the pi comes with four different files in /boot: arm128_start.elf arm192_start.elf arm224_start.elf start.elf These determine, somehow, the amount of memory out of the 256MB total that is allocated for regular use, as opposed to graphics use. You copy ...

antiloquax,

thanks for the instructions for arch. I can't try them tonight, but I will do so as soon as I can.

Well, the long awaited rpi is here, and I've spent half of father's day trying different distros. (This would normally be a good thing - when asked what I wanted for father's day, I could honestly say, just some peace and quiet and the opportunity to putter with computer hardware and software, and I...

I'm not surprised that there's an almost bimodal distribution of ages on this forum. This group isn't like the poll about "who uses Ubuntu"' which might be skewed to a younger more casual crowd. Nobody adapts Ubuntu. You just download it and use it. Whereas puppy is incredibly adaptable, d...

I am 56, so I can't win the age contest, but I HAVE been programming since 1972, so call me 40 in programmer's years. (My high school had only started offering programming classes a couple years before that. We used a PDP 8L with 8K memory and a dial-up line and teletypes to get to a computer system...

This piece at RaspberryPi says that when Farnell/Element14 told early-orderers of May/June deliveries, they were in error. So maybe I'll get mine sooner than 5/14? I hope so.

As Raffy pointed out, with two firms selling the same item, it's likely that many people will double order. I got in at Farnell first, and I'll probably not order at RS when and if I get to the head of the line there. I'll take my changes with Farnell and how long they'll take, not knowing either fi...

Here's my raspberry pi experience: I intended to stay up for the announcement, but I fell asleep at 11PM, an hour before the announcement (I'm GMT-6). February 29, after a couple of tries, I was able to register an interest at both Farnell and RS. On March 2nd, Farnell/Newark/Element14 emailed me sa...

Jemimah, Don't feel bad about stopping work on these projects - what you did was fabulous - I have used nothing else besides puppeee and fluppy on my netbooks and they're still the best. Move on, have fun, work on them, don't work on them, whatever you feel like. Don't be a stranger to the forum, yo...

I just tried Legacy OS on a more modern computer than you might typically have as the target - a dual core Athlon 64 x2, with a 1600x1200 LCD monitor. I choose 1600x1200 from the xorg list, then it errors out of the wizard with the following messages (I typed these as carefully as possible into anot...

thanks, john

I'll download mini and try that on my eeepc.

I'm currently downloading legacy os 2, which will still be valuable to try on my other machines.

I have an eee pc 900 with the original simplified linux OS on the ssd.I mostly use jemimah's puppeee on an sd card in the slot, and I never actually boot the original os on the ssd. I wonder about trying a full install of legacy OS. I noted on the wikka page about your mini version. Should I be tryi...

I have one of those too. The hard drive is divided in half between Windows 7 and Ubuntu LTS 10.4. I usually use it in Windows, I used it most recently for working on my taxes. Not intensive, but it was on for hours. I did not have any issue with overheating or even notice the fan coming on much. My ...

The subject says it all - fluppy 013 runs fine on my Lenovo S10e. I had previously used version 010. It feels like a big leap, especially in terms of application updates and many new utilities to tweak settings. I have several other puppy (not fluppy) installations which are much older, and I can se...

Re: "I just upgraded my frugal install of fluppy 006 to 007 on my very recently purchased Lenovo Ideapad S10e. 006 had worked very well. This is on a 4GB usb stick. One big oddity post-upgrade: None of the usual desktop icons appear at the upper-left, although I do still see the OpenOffice ico...

Jemimah, fluppy is an awesome distribution and works great on my S10. I've tried other distributions on our netbooks, but nothing beats yours. My asus eeepc 900 and 900sd use only puppee. I hope you realize how many people benefit from the huge time and effort you've put into this, and how much they...
