Turbopup Xtreme v1.0 - The fastest dog on Earth

[sc0ttman]

Hi Cat,

Followed your instructions "v-bar" gone, but .... mtpaint keeps opening up ....????

Possibly this has something to do with the hotkey assigned to mtpaintsnapshot..
I removed the hotkeys for this script from the relevant jwm config files, because users reported this problem, especially in Xvesa...

Synth and All,

In recent weeks I've tried many of the derivatives
in addition to the 'Official' releases. Although all
of them, with one exception, have worked on my
Older Hardware, it is difficult to find one that works
with SPEED.

So I find myself coming back to Turbopup time and
time again because it is such a HOT performer!

Just wanted to say, once again, Thank You Synth for
this great derivative! On my 'older' system it has
proven to be the "BEST!"

Hi Cat f00 Scott, Thanks all

Final (?) question : how should Fancy Reagan (eternal beginner) "remove the hotkeys..." as reported by Scottman..

Owoo, hotkeys .. if they are more-or-less standard jwm hotkeys, chances are they'd be referenced in /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal file (in keybindings section). If that file or similar is not included (much like the /root/.jwmrc-tray file) in the template, jwm keybindings should be in the template itself (/etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc file). If so, comment-out as usual and try simply reloading jwm (if the template was edited, you may need to run fixmenus first).

Pesky thing is, hotkeys can be bound to actions in a variety of ways Going back a bit, there's even a few processes/scripts that may stay 'up' unless explicitly killed (like on the htop screenie, I'm pretty sure I closed that dialogue for mtpaintsnapshot.sh and yet there it was..)

good luck/hunting

Thankx for your efforts. Gave up. Now in Brunopup set cpu manager and it seems .. that it does not shut down all of a sudden .. maybe it is not as hot as yesterday

Hiya folks!

I've read a lot of good things about this puplet in terms of it's performance, which leads me to want to give it a try. I've got an ancient IBM Aptiva kicking about that many of you have probably seen me post about in the past and I am trying to find a pretty decent Puppy derivative to give the old beast a bit of life back. I tried putting Puppy Stardust 013 on it, but it seems sluggish.

I was curious how well you think TurboPup would run on it? It's got a 200mhz Pentium, 64mbs of RAM, a 2mb video card, a 2.5gb HDD, and an old Sound Blaster Pro 2 sound card that a few Pups I've tried do not seem to like. I'd like to be able to run some fairly modern programs, Skype for one, some sort of MSN client (probably Pidgin as it has a pretty low overhead), and then a Mozilla-based browser that I could import my usual bookmarks into...say Seamonkey or Firefox......think it's plausibly doable on TurboPup? Mostly using it as a basic internet machine (e-mail, surfing, nothing elaborate like streaming internet video or anything of course, haha!) I know some things had to have been cut out to lower it's overhead, so I was curious.

I've also been told to give Puppy 214X-r5 a try...thoughts? Comparisons? I'm assuming I should be using a Full install? I've been lurking for awhile, but I'm still pretty much a Linux newbie...

[cthisbear]

darkstrike:

Download both TurboPup and Puppy 214X-r5.

Copy the sfs file onto the drive...one test at a time.

Load the corresponding Puppy in your cd and
see if it picks up the file from your hard drive and boots up.
Your copied sfs >> has to be lowercase.

Cheat Frugal...Simple.. no dangers...faster...no installation issues.

Chris.

[darkstrike]

Thanks cthisbear, I'll give it a go once I pick up some CDs; is there a certain place I have to copy the SFS to? I've never used Frugal installs before, just Full installs.

long thread, but best place for help, ask Richard

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=37828

Also see this for modem test .pet

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 241#349241

The instruction to a user would be to install the dotpet, in a console type:
./pmodemdiag
and attach the tarball to a posting or PM to the helper.

I would just like to report that one can't download Turbopup from the link at the first page of this thread. It gives a "530 Login incorrect." error.
The link there is ftp://puppyiso:puppyiso456@ftp.servage. ... eme_v1.iso
I tried changing it for ftp://ftp.servage.net/turbopup_xtreme_v1.iso and setting up the username for "puppy" and the password for "linux" in wget but it gave me some error, if I remember well it didn't recognize the username (I tried again in Lupu now but it's giving me error messages in Slovenian or a similar language )
Is there another link to download it?

[muggins]

fyujj,

see here.

Thank you, muggins.

Hey all!

In the last week, I've been trying two different distros on my ancient Aptiva as recommended by CThisBear, the second of which is TurboPup. I had installed Puppy 2.14X RC5 and have been giving that a whirl, and it's not bad at all, but considering how minimalist TurboPup is, I was wondering if it would work any better!

Long story short, when I start my installation, during the install process, I have a number of windows that pop up from the Package Manager asking me if I want to remove certain packages...? Is there any particular reason why this is happening? I haven't touched the package manager, and it seems odd that it's asking me to remove packages from a LiveCD and a hard drive partition that doesn't even have anything on yet...?

Apologies if I missed a post somewhere explaining how to solve this glitch!

[muggins]

I wonder whether, when you've booted it, if it has "grabbed" an existing pup_save file from some previous pup version.

[darkstrike]

It can't there's only one partition and it's formatted as a completely empty ext2 partition?

Unless somehow it's grabbing something off the drive that wasn't completely overwritten in the format? No idea!

[Flapdoodle]

I have been using TPE as my only OS for some time now. Love it!
Is there a version 1.1 still in the works? Are beta testers needed?
