It works okay one of two laptops, but not the other. FWIW, I like that puppy, it loads up off the CD quite a bit quicker than the Lucid 5.2.5.

My older laptop is really starting to frustrate me, I just can't get Puppy 4.3.1 to do what I want it to, I know that a version 5 Puppy would, at least it does on my newer laptop but the old laptop just won't properly boot any of the several version 5's I've tried, VERY aggravating!

Have you tried Wary, or 525 retro?

Yes and yes. It boots up to the command line okay (i.e. pfix=nox) but fails when I run xwin and that's been the case with every version 5 Puppy I've tried. From what I've been able to gather it seems there's something about the video hardware of some older machines that's incompatible with any of the version 5 Puppys.

what exactly is it that you cant get 431 to do that you think the 5 series can do anyway?

I'm trying to get a Keebox W150nu USB wifi adapter to work. You can read about my problems with that in THIS THREAD.

Quick summary, the older laptop boots up successful Puppy 4.3.1 with kernel 2.6.30.5 but the wifi adapter drivers recommended for that set up don't seem to work. I tried both Puppy 4.3.1 and 5.2.5 on my newer laptop but could only get the wifi adapter to work with 5.2.5

I have just added uploaded a copy of Barebones 5.01 to my online storage. Sorry it took so long. I am updating my website, so a link will be available there shortly.

if u dont mind, can u make a barebone lucid 5.2.8? I mean its newer and lucid 5.2.5 lite is a bit older in some sense, and its not as 'barebone' as what u have done.
If u cant, it doesnt matter :D

I have begun work on a bare 528, but it is slow coming. the way that i build it takes a while. i should have it done in about a week.
I thought i had it done a few days ago, but apparently i stripped so much out that it broke and i wasn't able to repair it. So i had to start over.

maybe u could just strip out non-system apps lile abiwords, games, and not gtkhash, something like lucid 525 but without the extra apps like midnight commander

I leave all required programs for puppy to run. I don't believe I removed gtkhash in 5.01. It's just tracking down the files for each app and removing them all that's a little time consuming.

Please don't take out bcrypt, it removes libgcrypt libs which are required for some other encryption programs.

Edit: Will you be adding in the instant update before you strip it?

I don't plan on removing any encryption programs or libs. I probably won't remove the instant update, as it's part of the system files themselves. I'm going to be removing only the non essential files. Instant update is one of the great things about 5.28. Most of the programs removed will be from the bottom 8 menu categories on the start menu. Only a few things on the top menu categories will be touched.

Sounds great, hondasid! Looking forward to seeing a barebones 5.2.8, in due course.
Cheers :)

I'm almost done. Had some RAM issues a few days ago, so I just got back to work on it today. I should have it uploaded before the end of the weekend. I apologize to all those who have been waiting.

You are awsome man. Hoping to use your Barebones for my PupRescue OS to help slim it down a bit.

Hi Hondasid, don't mean to put any pressure on, but Barebones 5.28 may be just what I am after and I was wondering if there is any news.
Many thanks
Tony
