Well, I've been messing with Puppy unleashed 4.0 and it seems pretty straightforward. I did a " Skinny Pup 4.0 " and it seems to be working good. Need more people to check it out and see if I'm missing stuff that's needed. When 4.1 comes out, as soon as an unleashed is available I'll give ...

I re-built SurfPup on top of Fat-Free last night. I used Firefox instead of NetSurf, but if you want to give it a try and see if it works, it can be downloaded at http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/todd/. Sincerely, Todd You might want to double check the upload of the iso. The MD5 doesn't match and I've...

I'm not sure what all was not added... only things I added were nano, p7zip, unrpm, unrar. This is the first time I used the puppy unleashed thing. It seemed pretty straightforward, however I'm not sure how to get all the names of the packages that were not included and what packaged were. If someon...

There is an identical discussion here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=31481
Near Identical ;)
That is for 4.0 and I'm more interested in the Puppy 4.1 which (to the best of my knowledge) hasn't been released yet.

Got flash working (thanks to MU for the advice).

Flash 10 will be packaged up (if it hasn't already) and be ready for the next Firefox I release.

If someone knows of a already working Flash 10 PET, please let me know.

Is anyone interested in a "Fat Free" Puppy 4.1?

I'm curious how many people are interested in a "Fat Free" Puppy 4.1? When I say Fat Free I am referring to Puppy 4.1 stripped down in a similar way as Fat Free Puppy 3.01 I've been thinking about trying to do a puppy unleashed thing and make it, but it would be a long time before I can ge...

Any way of getting Flash 10?

I was wondering if there is some way to get flash 10 into pup. I ask because I used to use Veoh a lot on Ubuntu and didn't have any issues. When I came to Puppy, Veoh complains I need the latest flash. I have flash 9 on here so I presume I need flash 10. The flash 10 installer complains that the gli...

Ok, I found out how to get Puppy to see the CD-ROM... 1. I boot up Puppy 2. Once booted I unplug the CD-ROM from the computer 3. I open the Mount program and click refresh 4. I plug the CD-ROM back into the computer 5. I click refresh on the mount thingy again a couple of times and it shows up I'm n...

Because you launched Puppy off the flash drive, it tries to load everything into RAM to reduce the number of writes back to the drive. Copy the four core files from the flash drive to the hard drive. This is called a frugal install. Reboot off the CD but use the boot argument Code: puppy pmedia=ide...

How did you create the swap partition? What response do you get from entering fdisk -l AND free ? Originally I made the swap in Gparted. Then after it failed to work right (after booting into the installed puppy), i did a swapoff on the swap partition, then did the mkswap on it (/dev/hda1) and even...

Thanks rcrsn51 for the tip. I got it booted. Now I have to figure out a few more things...

1. Why is the swap seen as a fat partition in the mount program
2. Why won't/Can't Puppy see the CD-ROM despite booting from it (sort of).
3. It's crashing (I presume its lack of swap, only 128MB ram)

Puppy 4 won't boot properly from external cdrom on laptop

Today I just got a laptop (for free) that is pretty decent. Sony Vaio PCG-SR33. 600Mhz, 128MB RAM, 20GB hard drive and no internal CD-ROM. The CD-ROM is external and interfaces via a PCMCIA slot. PCGA-CD51/A Well I tried booting Puppy 4.0 a few moments ago and it started to boot but couldn't find th...

I think more people need to help maintain packages for puppy. This would help a lot as most "bugs" I've seen so far in 4.0 could easily be fixed by dedicated package maintainers (people who stick to keeping up to date a set of packages). As for core bugs, if someone finds something, point ...

While it wasn't specified, I thought you wanted the script to be text based, meaning no dependency on X. Is this correct? The script I want to make may or may not be console only based. I haven't decided. The main purpose of the script however is to take a set of pet packages and install each one a...
