it will have a few dependecies for codecs and the like, but you can use my config options as a basis to compile however you wish.

if you have gtkdialog (gtk2) there is a gtk frontend for it too:

Thanks!

goingnuts ,

I like the last version (pupngo200810fulldrv) but I don't understand how some commands works .

Have a file manager? commands mc not found or xfe not found ...

I don't have a network tool for active the Ethernet or I don't know the exact command.

I click on mount disk icon and opens only the rxvt. I try to enter to the disk location - not permission

Try to install and the command INSTALLPACKAGE not found .

Its more fast than PULP or turbo pup for my old laptop with only 32mb ram but with that details for a beginner its difficult to ....

Thanks!

the file manager, network connection, .... is busybox

So, now I have a newly compiled static Xvesa, and two different window managers -
XvesaXvesa is now <600kb (upx's to 266kb)
jwm uses only ~2Mb RAM but provides a desktop,
mcwm is a minimal xcb based wm and only uses 200kb~ RAM

This should allow setting up a minimal X environment inside the initramfs

I couldn't get mcwm to work with the one-line xvesa start method, but it works if you run startx mcwm or put it in /etc/windowmanager
I just posted a newer version with better default key bindings.
(urxvt is mcwm's default terminal, so It will help immensely to make a symlink or wrapper script to your terminal, so you can start it with the "windows" key + enter)

I thought i had posted my static jwm, but can't seem to find it now.

Its here in the Saluki thread...
And I got your new mcwm running (using 196K) although not able to do more than moving the window with alt+mouse - have to learn those key-combinations
Any chance to compile jwm with X11-tiny?

pUPnGO_V412_200110.iso (6Mb) on mediafire is dead

Any mirrors please?

Why not put it on datafilehost

http://www.datafilehost.com/

Up to 50 MB per file
Unlimited file uploads
Unlimited file downloads

Your file is hosted forever as long as it gets downloaded at
least one time every 30 days

All file types allowed

//////////

If you couldn't download it ...restricted bandwidth etc...

send someone like me a PM...so that I can do that, and it stays there.

That's what I do with some files myself.

Chris.

cthisbear: I will test that - thank you for the tip!
sc0ttman: Thanks for the offer!

New build available - last 2010 version < 4Mb without drivers
What's new? Back to basic - pUPnGO is a basic building block - extract of the very "core" of Puppy Linux...
Please use in a protected environment (qemu, other emulators or an old not critical pc). The GUI_412.sfs automount all drives found and ntfs-drives might be affected - they are so sensitive...). This is a consequence of using BB mount/umount only - if you want to avoid this behavior install pupngo041210_SP1.pet attached to this post (contains ntfs-3g/mount/umount full versions static builds).

Gently modified org. initrd (changed BB and ntfsg3), mainssfs is CLI only and contains only static build programs.
This gives a basis to continue building all static or using any libc you want (ulibc, libc old or new etc.- any version) even loaded as a sfs after creating a save file. So you can install/uninstall libc without breaking the core system. Busybox resides in initrd.gz and are copied at boot if not present...

Contains file-manager (asmfile), udevd, mksquashfs, grub and most of the needed setup-scripts.

Included on the CD also a GUI-example - now as a sfs-package but can be installed (pkginstall.sh also handle install of sfs-files). All set-up-wizards and other scripts should work in console and in GUI (cli/dialog/Xdialog - the later only if present...). Configuration might be annoying as you are asked if you want to autologin, change password, auto dhcp ect.

Now personal builds can be done keeping the "core" and adding sfs-files with the new personal stuff.

Sizes:
pup_412pupngo.sfs 1036Kb (main static pUPnGO building block - the new "core")
zdrv_412.sfs 21Mb (all org. P412 kernel drivers)
initrd.gz 1275Kb
wmlinuz 1495Kb (with fb)

For demo-purpose:
links_static.pet 242Kb (optional text browser)
GUI_412.sfs 2148Kb (optional Xvesa+jwm environment - install or load sfs after save/boot)
glibc2.6_412.sfs 1120Kb (optional full P412 glibc - install or load sfs after save/boot)

update 061210: A small howto - in the form of a script - attached to demonstrate the very direct way that can be used to build new systems based on this version.
Also - as inspiration - an example of dressing pUPnGO up as xwoaf (x windows on a floppy) can be downloaded here in the form of a 876Kb sfs-file that can be installed or loaded at boot after creating a savefile. xwoaf uses old version of ulibc and TinyX-lib.
Another example is Basic Linux - another small Linux Distro - here used as dress-up for pUPnGO_041210 in the form of a sfs-file to install or load at (re-)boot. Based on libc5 and it is also possible to install packages from Slackware 4.0 (using the pkg command).
