Slaxxx 5.7

[8Geee]

tuxatomicpup is being developed as a beta, and I have erased the link to the iso. It will be based on this alpha release. Glib-schemeas has been added but no 'ff' profile modifier. YouTube sound when streaming does not occur. It is advanced enough for Intel Atom users, but not recommended for others due to Meltdown/Spectre.

I added FreeOffice-697-enUS,and removed shares, servers, gimp, and evince (removing evince means that epdfview haas to be manually linked. ISO size is 208.4Mb, memory footprint will be about 670Mb when installed. Recommended is 1Gb partition size and 2Gb memory stick, with a 256Mb save file (512Mb if modifying this spin).

***update 4/19/19:CUPS has been patched using the 'old' EONS-17 symlinks ( I got one wrong, and printing failed). ***

This alpha version so far has been working very well.
I changed the busted post to reserved in case i get inspired to make a TuxAtomicPup. I need to remove the servers and shares. But its rather small(by today's staandards) at 200Mb ISO as is.

General question...

I see these directories

/etc and /etc_1
/var and /var_1

What difference, if any, are there between the _1 version and the 'normal' version of these files?

What affects the choice if anything? would a symlink work?

is this a profile or glibc or gtk need?

Thanks

Have to bump this as I'm having problems with the default CUPS 1.4.8. It prints test pages, but no files (text or PDF). Just stalls.

This bug has been solved... and old set of symlinks from the EONS 17 spin worked here.
This involves libpng 12 and 14, and libjpeg7. I had forgotton to alter one symlink.

I can now try to update CUPS to a more secure 2.2.11.

SOLVED (again)

As mentioned above, bugs with printing fixed, and the alpha spin has been modified to work with Atom CPU's. Possting from the complete remaster.

Yet to do
Update Cups to 2.2.11
update busybox to 1.30

One nitpik here, I noticed that when I got ducks-in-a-row, upon remaster the default settings (timezone and server-name page) was skipped. One has to correct at least the timezone using Menu --> Setup --> Quick Setup.

Alpha version: spin= AtomicPup-XX (Intel Atom)
moved /lib/firefox to root and remastered
Running OK

The BETA version reverted OpenSSL from 1.1.1 --> 1.1.0. The reversion has gone out of support as of Sept. 10, 2019 (final update)

Meanwhle, back at the alpha, the attempted update of OpenSSL 1.1.1b --> d superficially failed. I deliberately removed the Open ssl 1.0.0 file and installed symlink to 1.1 and up popped three errors in openssl version... NO glibc 2.16, 2.17, or 2.25 found. naturally, I will reinstall the file, and check again. But the originaal glibc2.15 is all thats installed.

OK ttuuxxx:

Decided to do some testing on your little 5.7, and, so far I like it a lot. Seems to take everything I throw into it without a problem, well... a little trouble with Firefox getting lost after installing several of my .pet favorites so installed Seamonkey and it's running just fine with that.

Now the question... are you going to continue work on this 5.7 ??? and get it to the point it may take a Google Earth 7 and some of the other popular programs?

With the way newer puppy's are being built with the newer kernels (above 4.12) a lot of puppy users running older boxes will be left in the cold pretty soon... would be a shame to see that happen!

ttuuxxx:

do you still have a copy of the original alpha release?
OpenSSL is strictly 1.1.1 these days. No updates possible.

If you do, please upload it.

If you mean "kernel version" then the command "uname -a" will tell you that. If you really mean "ke*nel version" then I have no idea what you're talking about, sorry.
