Puppy 4.3 Beta 1

#1 Post by Lobster »

Warning Actung Attention
As we all know Puppy is fast.
In this case some of us are using it even before Barry has uploaded
Now that is FAST
Officially released and announced by Barry here

I would like to pretend I used a time machine - traveled
to the future and downloaded it.
. . . in fact Coolpup told me about it
and I thought I would share :)

Many apologies for the confusion :oops:

For now you can read the release notes:
These are from the Puppy 4.3 Beta 1 release notes

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Puppy43
Future puppies
The Woof build system enables us to build Puppy from any distro's packages. I have released experimental builds of "Upup", Puppy built from Ubuntu Jaunty packages, and I intend to return to working on that soon. What's the point? -- well, you get the tiny size (approx. 100MB live-CD) and wonderful speed of Puppy, a user interface and user experience that is totally Puppy, the full suite of applications and utilities as in any other Puppy, yet built from Ubuntu packages and able to install further packages from the Ubuntu repositories.

Hey, I'm still uploading it! :o

I uploaded the 2.6.29.6 build earlier, the 2.6.25.16 build is still uploading, as are some of the delta files.

Holy cats.....Lobster.. I thought it was ready...lol

@Barry....I'll redo it when you post on your blog.

I wondered why the mirror command completed so fast.

Best,
Eric

Puppy-4.3beta1-k2.6.29.6-v423.iso
Is this OK for a 1999 Compaq Deskpro EN?

I just downloaded this [md5sum verified as OK] and used Burniso2cd to burn it to a blanked CD-RW disk at 4x speed, and it completed in a suspiciously short time.
Can it really complete this quickly? :?

Haven't yet tried to boot it.

Will do ASAP.

I'm posting from 4.3beta1(ppa.k2.6.29.6. :lol: ) and all is ok... just check your cd sylvander... mount it and if there are 9 files there, (vmlinuz, initrd.gz ...etc, ) and it is 97M it should be fine.

Lobster, this thread just confuses the hell out of anyone trying to find what it's about. :? Would you at least edit your original post, adding a link to where the new iso can be found?

Made some error at 1st attempt at burning the CD-RW [BoxPup 4.1.3 still on the disk]; thought it was too fast to be true.
All now fixed and working fine.

Now posting from 4.3beta1

I notice during boot it reports itself as Puppy 4.2.3

"able to install further packages from the Ubuntu repositories"
How? :?

Tried both downloads (both Kernels) from gposils link. Neither would boot, giving 'disk error 80'. Is there another mirror yet?
Reading Barry's blog, this implementation is built from Puppy, not Ubuntu, so CANT use .debs?
For that, we have to wait for Upup.

Official announcement here:

Lobster's new thread for feedback:

DaveS,
Although PPM doesn't offer any Ubuntu repos, you can install .debs. Download any Debian, Ubuntu, Arch or Slackware package and Puppy can install it -- just click on it. No dependency information though.

Once installed, it can also be uninstalled by PPM.

When downloading from gposils mirror use wget. I found using the browser, it breaks. (don't use an accelerator)

I stumbled across the .deb compatibility the other day when I couldn't compile imlib2, tried a .deb of it and it worked! Stripped it back some and made a .pet out of it and posted on Pwidgets thread. The guys don't report any problems. It may interest you DaveS. You are bit of a Conky fan aren't you? Works with conky-1.7.1.1 so long as it was compiled with imlib2 support. (shows images in conky 8) )

Cheers and thanks BarryK

Here's another
http://puppylinux.asia/puppyfiles/test/puppy-4.3beta1/

We are seeing a problem while using the Hiawatha web server on .ca . Some files will not download even with mime types edited...some work as is and some will not without renaming...very strange. A ticket has been raised to Hugo from Hiawatha.
Please use the url above for Barry's beta1..thanks.

Sorry DaveS, but 01micko is right use wget on the gposil server, any download accel or multi-login with browser and the server will break the download...the server is set for single login from ip, to avoid bandwidth gobbling.

DaveS...if you can wait a week or so dpup481 with Barry's 2.6.29.6 kernel will be out, ttuuxxx and I are just finalizing 476e-2.6.27.4 and then moving to the new kernel...dpup uses the debian repos and reports have been good.

Cheers

Hi mic just make sure you proved the dev for imlib2 maybe in another package, so that it can be useful for compiling to :) Pup-shots uses it with scrot and gimp/ other image viewers etc, Its actually a very popular lib. Thanks
