Building a PUP from Scratch is an interesting discussion here.

The topic covered here by @Stripe, @playdayz and @pemasu is great. But, I have a request for either/both of tyou. After you work thru the stumbling issues, would you post a HOWTO that shows how you build a Puppy with the releases that you are currently working on?

A step by step on how you achieved your resulting systems ISO would be extremely useful, I think, to the community at large. Think it over.

For Midori fans, I uploaded midori-0.2.7.pet here:

http://www.datafilehost.com/download-e64fd0c9.html

Includes dependencies. Tested in

Lucid Puppy 5.1.1
Puppy Squeeze 004

One-click install, one-click remove if you dislike it.
Well, it's 21 MB. Embarassed

Maybe somebody can trim the fat...

Have a nice weekend.

I'm having a problem getting pwireless2 working in 5.1.1. I've posted full symptoms over on the pwireless2 thread, but basically after I go through the standard procedure ( install pwireless2, remove profiles from Network-wizard, reboot ) pwireless can't see my wifi card, and just locks up when I click refresh or roam, and I have to kill it. In the small hours I remembered that 5.1.1 has an option to make Network-wizard the default connection option, and I'm pretty sure I clicked on that setting up after installing. Could that be stopping pwireless2 connecting properly, and if so can I undo the default setting or do I need to re-install?

I am now building test build of luci512pre with added 50 .deb files. I would like to do some postinstall style adjustment. Like postinstall.sh script which has rows to execute adduser and addgroup like this:

I compiled a new version of mhwaveedit 1.4.20
that is able to launch retrovol
It works only in Lucid Puppy (perhaps because I compiled it in Lucid Puppy)

mplayer appears to ignore dvd menus, though it will play a dvd as a whole.

Not a big issue, as vlc is available as a pet, and works with dvd menu.

@DAveS
How did you go about installing SeaMonkey alpha? (maybe you could let us know at Puppy &SeaMonkey)
Thanks for your efforts.

Hi all,

Thanks for a truly great Linux (particularly to Barry).

My desktop widget tells me that my version is 5.0.0

Since I'm not very experienced with Puppy I haven't discovered how to upgrade to version 5.1.1.

Or is that not possible? Do I need to do a fresh install?

What I would like is a simply "click here" way of automatically upgrading to a newer version.

Please somebody point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

OzOle
