OK- in a fit of pique I've deleted the downloaded iso, and binned the cd. So I'll start again with a fresh download. That was my last cd though....

Check the md5sum of your download. The Iso has isolinux.cfg with content:

Thanks-- yes, I did (unusually- I don't often bother) check the md5 before I burned the cd.

I usually dont burn puppies to the cd, but now I tested with rw cd. Insidious-002 burns just fine and has isolinux.cfg with content.

Will Iguleder's next Insidious be an update of -002, or of his -001? Or is -001 as far as he is taking it?

Atm, Insidious is not actively updated. I did build Insidious 002 using Iguleder`s specs for 002.
Iguleder is now in army. He has every week 36 hours time at home. And he has used that time with his Teh Gray spup build, testing new kernels and lately with T2 building platform. He has also plans for is own linux distro Calf Linux. This information is from irc chatting at weekends and plain observation Smile

I have also no plan to continue with Insidious. There are many reasons. Main reason though is that I have used my time with Snow Puppy as my main OS.

I've just downloaded and am posting from Insidious now. Although it's early days yet I think it works well as a stable and unpretentious "general purpose" Puppy, which most of the time is all I really want from a Puppy (or any other OS I'm using for that matter). Sod the bells and whistles - does it work reliably and without crashing the app / internet connection / X Windows etc.?

Thanks to everyone who's contributed to it anyway.

Cheers,

CP .

Hi guys, I have Insidious Puppy 001 and have found that the option to update the package database does not work, because the Debian sites have been rearranged. Does the option work in 002? If so, do I need to get 002, or do I just need a copy of the new /root/.packages/DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS file, or something like that?

Also, does anyone use the native Debian apt instead of the Puppy package manager? If so, what are your experiences of it?

Thanks.

Also, if possible it would be good to have a link to 002 on the front page, so people don't assume 001 is the latest (like I did) Smile

Yes but Iguleder is in the Army now so he only get back for 36 hours now and then to meet family and such.

So he change the front page when he is able to next time. No hurry Smile

Even if you inserted the information in your post which is the second one in the thread people would probably see it...

Anyone got a link for Insidious 002 Question

I keep finding this 001 thread, but have lost sight of the 002 thread. Sad

Also, might be worth pointing out that ttuuxxx recently did some more work on one of gposil's dpups. See here for ttuuxxx's improved dpup476: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64227

It's a couple of pages up in this thread, which is what I was just complaining about...
