Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Seems that there is a lot of discussion over the confused release of 002.

Has anyone PM'd the builder of 002 and asked him to start a new thread where he announces this upgrade.

He can title the new thread "Insidious2" or "Insidious-002" or " Insidious Too" or whatever he chooses as an appropriate new name for this thread and his ISO.

Sometimes, I have found, that base forum knowledge is not consistent among forum users (I am an example of this). He may not know how to start a new thread, give it a Subject and post in a new thread.

Hope this helps.
P.S. My Question: Can I use the "APT" tool in this or any PUPs to add packages from Debian? Thx

I made Insidious-002 using Iguleder`s specs which he had announced and are still found from the net. I only included different kernel and some other packages, but I didnt remove anything from Iguleder`s specs.

It was made as a test build. The specs worked just fine. I could say it was made as an honour for Iguleder because I promised to test his specs when he went to the army.

Insidious is test bed for debian packages as it is sayed in the debian archive. Packages are tested and then replaced again.
Using woof to build another and then another Insidious would lead to the another different test build with changed packages without intent.

I would say that Insidious saga is at the end.
I wont publish Insidious-002 as its own thread because of above. There would not be any support for it. As I stated above building improved version would lead to the different version because it is test bed for rapidly changing packages.

Nevertheless, the Insidious-002 was quite successful build.
It was done during the time without profound knowledge that it lays in so rapidly moving platform and that the Insidious thread was at it`s end.

Anyone who finds Insidious-002, can test it if he/she wishes. I have reports of satisfied users. But I dont take credit of it. It was all Iguleder`s hard work which enabled the release.

I personally hope that dpup squeeze would be still continued because it is now the stable version.

Well... I won`t delete the content of my posts also, because that would ruin this thread and could also lead.......
Confusion level is not critical, I think Smile

PS. gcmartin. Thank you of your kind suggestions. I will remember them in the future.

l've done a remaster of dpup009 squeeze by iguledar.
Being a admirer of both Debian and Puppy Linux i wanted to settle on dpup on my older pc. Smile

Having tried most of the original 'dpups' from gposil and squeeze dpup and insidious dpup from iguledar which i believe he is no longer maintaining due to other commitments, ive found this to be best one in my opinion.
The changelog to the original is:
The latest Firefox 3.6.15 added or Firefox 4.0rc. Seamonkey 2.06 is still available in the menu.
Upgraded to the latest Flashplayer 10.2 r151

Added Pidgin 2.7.7
Added MOC 2.4.4 music on command player with absolute classic rock radio in playlist

Removed some JWM themes and wallpapers and added some and changed default wallpaper
Fixed incorrect menu entry for meebo online messenger.

All credit must go to iguledar for all the original work he put into it ive just remastered it thats all to suit my tastes and update it.
My next challenge is to do a cut down version with maybe debians iceweasel or iceape browser and maybe my preferred fluxbox as Window manager.
Please download give it a try all comments welcome.

Looks interesting as have always preferred Debian but since moving to the country am limited to 3G access so Puppies 4.31 and up are what I use.

Does Insidious Puppy include the standard 3G modem stuff? I'd like to know before I download because my downloading is limited by Verison. Good old Verison...

TrailerTrash: Standard 3gmodem stuff is difficult sentence. Barry and Rerwin has updated 3gmodem scripts in almost every woof release. But both Insidious used those woof downloaded scripts of that time for 3gmodem handling.

Unfortunately only way is to try out.

Thanks pemasu for the remastered dpup009 which I'm downloading and excited to test. And thanks for reminding me about pdebthing.

And thank you iguleder for all the hard work you put into the contributions you've given to Puppians. Stay well.

Edit: Downloaded, unpacked into directory, Grub4dos did its thing, and dPup009 booted without a hitch. Added Wine 1.3.13-Lucid52, as it has the more user friendly Winetricks GUI. No problem. Ran Foxitreader Portable, as it has far more features than the Linux Version. Ran 7-Zip portable as I understand it better than XArchiver. Added InfoCentral, so I could access 20 years of notes. Added DaveS' Opera_Extra_distro' pet, and swapped out .mozilla for the one on my home partition, so I could maintain my bookmarks and setting regardless of which Puppy I'm in. Added JRB's SFS-TCZ-Linker-2.2 so I could use SFS's on the fly. Nothing got broken.

dPup009 seems to run faster than any other derivatives.
Now to explore the world of debian.

Thanks again pemasu & iguleder.

cthisbear: Yes, those are the specs I used for Insidious-002. But the Insidious 002 iso can`t be there because I don`t have access to Iguleder`s ftp sites.

So I uploaded mine build to the ftp site, I have access.

pemasu:

Thanks mate.
I thought the Sydney smog was addling my brain.

But it's OK now though.
A prolonged diagnosis suggests that there is no brain.

Feeling so much better....and downloading now.

Boots Ok....even on this Palsonic screen.

Running fine

Cheers....Chris.
