Hello jrb

Thanks! that was it, I commented the line and had the desired huge kernel in the correct directory and the build successfully included the kernel and completed an ISO.

Quote from scsijon : (thanks)

“A squeal from the monitor use to be the sign that the system is trying to run the frequency too high when trying to test for screen matrixes, in bad cases it caused the capacitor or transformer itself to burn out. It shouldn't happen in anything new and anything with a digital input (that can send back the signal ranges when starting up). I've only seen it with one new system where the video system was overdriven and burnt out the monitors digital input stage, not suppose to be able to happen, but....”

Tested with another monitor, I think it must be a couple of caps gone south on the internal psu.
No streaks or squealing/ boot screen problems now, regardless of csm module off or on.
So I need to freshly try out the puppies without thinking that uefi /legacy mode or pulse audio server is causing mayhem with the graphics.
Did say I didn’t want to create any red herrings regarding graphics on the later puppies!

I suggest to add rox-filer from jun7's github here:
https://github.com/jun7/rox-filer
in woof-ce.
It now support many improvement.
it can search by typing part of name diretcly,
it can resize by name when we resize window in list view
it has bar per file when we copy multiple files.
etc.

I try to compile it, but I have some problems, that are:
1. In the icon view, the background is not white as in the list view
2. The drive icon still not correct, not seems as usual puppy

So, maybe anyone expert here can add and fix that in the woof-ce.
Thank you.

I also post on the rox-filer thread here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1055287#1055287
but still not any comment or suggestion from other..

I tried building the latest Ubuntu release and it wouldn't build because we have no files in our repo, To my knowledge woof-ce has not been update since since April 2018, we don't have Eoan Ermine, Focal Fossa capabilities, It would be nice if the woof -CE would be changed or altered so that we wouldn't need a matching puppy repo to build a current version, If the woof-ce developers aren't going to stay current with the latest releases, we should have an option to use the previous repo so that we could actually have something new that isn't 2yrs old. Or have a woof-ce that doesn't depend on the puppy repo at all. We could always add/compile the puppy package need, maybe just have a 32 bit and 64 bit puppy repo for scripts needed that don't need compiling, and have a list of package that could be compiled later and added manually then we wouldn't need to wait for the woof-ce management to make specific matching name folders of the release to build future version, just a 32/64 bit folders with scrips and a .txt file stating what should be compiled and added after you build a current version. I'm just saying puppy has been stalled for 2yrs now and something needs to change.

Suppose a very interested and motivated newbie came in and asked a question like this: "How to start to get familiar with WoofCE with the intent to eventually create a Puppy of some kind?"

What would the master's reply be?

Serious question. Just reading this and getting itchy fingers.

Should I just download and install it and see what's what?

Regards, BP.

Thanks for that

I'll get to it

EDIT I assume woof-CE is to be used inside Puppy, right?
