Preparing for Puppy II

[GuestToo]

sometime ago I came across a program that was able to monitor any directory and report if any file anywhere in that directory was modified

http://fileschanged.sourceforge.net/ ?
uses http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/

based on dnotify? inotify?

how big is something like tripwire?

Dan has very kindly sent me a key drive to test Puppy2
- thanks Dan
It has 128 meg (the min) and comes with Puppy pre-pre alpha installed
- I know that because I am looking at the contents with MUT

My current computer can not boot from USB but I have access from one that can . . .

I do not seem able to boot . . .
Tried the usual BIOS settings - turned off everything except USB booting (it is recognizing the device)

I have a strange idea what it may be - gonna test that now - but open to suggestions?

I need Puppy2 - I need it NOW!
. . . normal ranting is now resumed

Any ideas?

It was driving me crazy too and searched the web for any hint and found this site:

Check your BIOS
Finally, you need to enable booting from a USB device in your computer

would you accept a Ferengi among you
btw don't let any of your ""Brothers in faith"" know U reverting from islam or your head will fly.
isn't ironic that ""they"" like\admire klingons ...........maybe because they have so much in common ........... oops

[Lobster]

I have already lost my head:

I have declared on separate occasions to be the Koran, Mohamad and Allah - this was during Ramadan - so far I seem to be OK - I tend to hang out with Ishmailis and Sufis - who are all bonkers . . . for example in about 1910 the then Agha Khan said that if one had only the money to educate a daughter and a son, the daughter should be educated - to redress the societal imbalance. No wonder they are a persecuted minority sect . . .
Personally this is too advanced for me and I prefer the Ferengi attitude to women . . .

. . . and now back to Puppy - an alpha release for 10/11 Feb - only a week away. I am panting and straining at the leash already . . .

meanwhile here is music for all of you who have been working like a dog . . .

So, there is a lot of hype about puppy-2.0 Does that mean we are skipping 1.0.8 & 1.0.9

Thought I'd ask, since there has been no talk of it.

[costal martignier]

hmmm, i hope not...

with the linux kernel it's the same, there 2.2 2.4 are mainained continously altough 2.6 is there allready...

i like to see that puppy's 1.X series will maintained further...

but first let's see how compatible 2.0 is with 1.X, i think this is the point of success for puppy 2.0...

Barry,
I only just noticed on the news page that Puppy 2 will have a 2.4.31 kernel. Can I suggest that early in the testing phase ndiswrapper, MADWiFi and Ralink wifi drivers should be tried with this new kernel, because these drivers are all failing with DamnSmallLinux's 2.4.31 kernel. DSL used this kernel for versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they experienced a few other problems too ... like PCMCIA I think.
DSL has just reverted to the 2.4.26 kernel for version 2.2 for these reasons.

Yeah, I read about that to, I was surprised that they jumped so far back.

Well, puppy2-alpha will be out in a couple of days, so we can test out ndiswrapper etc.
I haven't done anything in the wireless department, so when 2-alpha is out
we can have a good look at that, and also I'll catch up on what rarsa has been
developing.
We can target improved wireless support for the beta release
...hopefully the 2.4.31 kernel will be up to it!
(it is possible that DSL have a patch in their 2.4.31 kernel that is causing
the trouble? ...dunno, well, we'll find out)

[tempestuous]

Yeah, a different kernel configuration can make all the difference.

DSL went back to 2.4.26 because that was tried-and-trusted with their earlier releases. Sadly, this kernel didn't play well with certain drivers either, notably the Intel PRO/Wireless ipw2200.
When complaints were increasing on their forum I was going to suggest they change to the 2.4.29 kernel because it works so well with Puppy ... but I didn't wish to be undiplomatic.
