bonjour big_bass

great, really!

thank you very much!

I did add:

wine (.28 from dotpups.de)
Konqueror (standard package in puppy)
of course with qt3 (needed also by much goodies: opera, skype, lyx etc.)
and OO220_215.sfs*

and I have a really great and fast system with OO 2.2 ! and wine .28 !

I would consider on your place if it is usefull to maintain the ROX-filer!

Konqueror is really better, do more and better!

Thank you again

salut

For some reason I thought that Konqueror required KDE. Am I wrong?

bonjour

you are "almost" right.

but embedded Konqueror is a regular puppy package (try it!
"install" > "package manager" etc... and look yourself)

I use now "fatfree" on Puppy 2.17 + konqueror + Open Office 2.2 + wine .28 !

all does wonderfull !

salut

Thanks for trying fat-free-pup 2.17
I had removed the roaring penguin alias PPPoe (I returned it in fat free 3 with the "fix" peinstalled "

good news if you download the link below save the pet on the hard drive or USB flash or even a 3 1/2 floppy since it is 113kb small enough to save anywhere
then boot fat free and locate the pet file you saved click on it it will auto install go to menu restart JWM then connect to internet the usual way

I will re burn the 2.17 with PPPoe installed and I will add e3 the console editor


Good news fat-free-pup 3 is out and I fixed the PPPoe problem and since I built with unleashed no problems with xvesa :)

use this link for PPPoe roaring penguin 3.7 PET

ttuuxxx, do you have a fatfree 2.17 iso available for download? I would be keen to try it as a possible rescue CD to fit on a business card sized CDR. (50mb-ish capacity)

cheers

Don't know if you need 2.17 specifically, but it is about 53MB. I've got it somewhere lying around but maybe you prefer 4.2.1 which is a bit smaller?

Thanks Hoven. I didnt realise the fatfree was 53mb. I tried burning some other small versions of puppy last night and found that the 50mb limit is strict so I have to go under 50mb.

The 4.2.1 is just over the limit too, unless I can find some way to force overburn. Thanks for the link, I will give it a try.

Ok, I finally figured out how to do the overburn. Burniso2cd doesn't seem able to do it but when I used PBurn it allowed that option and I was able to burn the 51.8Mb of the 4.2.1 to the business card CD succesfully. Looks great! thx Hoven. Next step - trying some of the other puppy versions around 50mb.

Still keen to try Fatfree if I can find it.

Perhaps you should have a look on ' white fang' puppy (3.0.1, 50 Mb, without X.org, without Office, and without X.org, also only for xvesa)!

I suppose it is the more ' actual' (hm, actual, after a few years...) version in the 50 Mb size. and it works really pretty

(unfortunelly it is not on my actual hard disk so I can't upload it for you)

Merci bien Oui!

J'ai trouvé l'entrée du forum. Ici:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=32519

Exactement ce que cherche!

Malheureusement je ne trouve pas le "iso". Peut etre je peu trouvé le iso sur un de mais CDs dans mon stockage. Je rémembre que j'ai "downloaded" white fang il ya deux ou trés ans.

Si vous plait, excuse ma francais, je n'ai pas parler francais depuis trente ans.

Thank you, this looks perfect, and I may be able to find an iso of white fang - I think I remember downloading it a couple of years ago.

OK. Here it is:
http://www.fileswap.com/dl/PBz6SgIf6J/p ... 7.iso.html

I was trying to find somewhere to download WhiteFang from but failed. However, I found a link to a Puppy 2.02 version with Opera. It's a bit old but might be useful.
http://www.my-plan.org/storage/puppyLinux/

I've also dug up a lightweight puppy from the 4.0 series. It's 72MB with Firefox. I'm going to post it in that under 100mb thread of yours as it's more appropriate there, but here's the link anyway:

Thanks Hoven, I tried Wolfpup, it's quite interesting and fast. I even managed to modify it to watch youtube videos. However I don't think I can trim it easily to get near 50Mb.

Fatfree has potential - I have done a quick test and will do more indepth trials soon. I have decided to start a topic comparing a variety of 50Mb puppies, for use as a basic rescue CD.

If anyone is interested, the comparison is here:

greengeek, I have WhiteFang 0.2 (an early version I think, but around here one never can tell ;) ) if you would like it. Let me know a good place to upload it and I'll post a link.

Thanks Starhawk. Just the other night I found my White Fang, and it was also the 0.2 version. I've added that to my comparison notes.

I have read that there is a 0.3.1 version so I'm keen to find that one and give it a go too..

Fatfree works fine as a Rescue CD burnt to a 50Mb "business card" CD. Easy to carry in the wallet!

I have done a comparison of some 50Mb puppies for this purpose here:

If you want an easy puppy to "cut down"?
Try TXZ-pup :D
Every installed app can be removed and just remaster the ISO after updating it.
You then can used the bigger live CD as an off-line Repository by using Big_Bass' repackage tool.
repackages any installed packages on the old cd for your cut-down one as needed.

Hmmm, ok, I'll give that a go.

I'm sure I've got that on a CD. I seem to remember TXZ was the one that had a pirate ship and butterflies on the desktop. I think my machines were too underpowered at the time and I abandoned it but I will have a tinker.
