Classic Pup 2.14X -- Updated 2 series

Just skimming through initrd_sbin/init, I'd say that the absolutely simplest way to avoid the automatic, possibly disastrous, grabbing of a save-file is to always offer a choice, lines 615ff of initrd_sbin/init:hth / MHHP# gives user option of choosing pupsave. if only one exists selects it
choose_pupsave_func(){
## set PUPSAVE
#set -- $ALLPUPSAVES # just pass it to function...
#if [ $# -eq 1 ];then # only one pup_save -- use it
# PUPSAVE="$1"
#elif [ $# -gt 1 ];then # more than one -- ask which to use
echo -e "\\033[1;36mPLEASE CHOOSE WHICH SAVE FILE TO USE" >/dev/console
echo "0 none" >/dev/console
CNT3FS=1
for ASAVE in $@
do
APART=${ASAVE%,*} ; APART=${APART#*,}
case "$ASAVE" in
*.[23]fs) # pup_save file
AFILE=${ASAVE##*,}
echo -e "$CNT3FS Partition: $APART\tFile: $AFILE" >/dev/console
;;
*_install_3) # installed to part
AVER=${ASAVE%%_*} ; AVER=${AVER#*Puppy}
echo -e "$CNT3FS Partition: $APART\tPuppy $AVER install" >/dev/console
;;
*) # will be files saved to partition: PUPMODE 6/7
echo -e "$CNT3FS Partition: $APART\tSettings saved directly to partition" >/dev/console
;;
esac
let CNT3FS=CNT3FS+1
done
echo -en "Please type a number then press ENTER key: \\033[0;39m" >/dev/console
read NUM3FS
clear #v2.12
if [ $NUM3FS -gt 0 ];then
eval PUPSAVE=\$$NUM3FS
fi
#fi #if [ $# -eq 1 ]
## end set PUPSAVE
I would prefer to change this to offer a choise when there is one pup_save file or more and not always. I think this can do the trick:
Regards,# gives user option of choosing pupsave. if only one exists selects it
choose_pupsave_func(){
## set PUPSAVE
#set -- $ALLPUPSAVES # just pass it to function...
#if [ $# -eq 1 ];then # only one pup_save -- use it
# PUPSAVE="$1"
if [ $# -gt 0 ];then # one or more than one -- ask which to use
echo -e "\\033[1;36mPLEASE CHOOSE WHICH SAVE FILE TO USE" >/dev/console

Hi, clarf!
That looks a tad bit better than my skim-through quick-'n'-easy solution above .
Cheers / MHHP

using pidgin or gaim in Classic Pup
How to use pidgin on 2.14.10?
I installed gaim with the package manager, but it doesn't work: it seems to be lacking gtk+. How can I install that?
Or can i just use the .pet of pidgin for 431?
Thanks

Bruno - you could give this .pet file a try for installing the newer Pidgin 2.10.6...?

pidgin in 2.14.10
Thanks darkstrike,
but that .pet doesn't work
After installing, it gives a long list of missing libraries

Yeah, that one was for Puppy 4, but I figured I would see if it worked for you or not - didn't know how many dependencies it required.

Which version?
Hy, guys.
I know this is not active in the last... years but I need to know among the 2.14 versions which one is the last.
I am trying to make a PentiumIII work less sluggish. With Precise Puppy (5.4) it got surprisingly slow
I'm talking about a fully installed Puppy to use the machine for real, for work (school).
Cheers!

How would you compare these "classic" versions with Wary?
i saw the Abiword version in 2.14 was updated... so, it's quite similar to Wary. Are the kernel version too different?
Cheers!

Re: Which version?
2.14X is a highly updated puppy version with an older kernel, Xorg, the kernel is half the size of Wary, I've been using 2.14X on a daily bases since I start this project 3.5yrs ago, If it works fine on your pc, I wouldn't use any other OS. I use it for my Multimedia Pc and play all my movies on my 42"lcd on it.Gonzalo_VC wrote:Thanks!sheldonisaac wrote:214x-Top10.0 ISOGonzalo_VC wrote:Hy, guys.

Re: Which version?
OK, Dewbie. But having 512 MB of RAM plus a swap space, the real big issue is CPU usage. Even a light distro like Puppy can become sluggish Perhaps the older kernel is the secret, I don't know this technical issues that deep.ttuuxxx wrote:Gonzalo_VC wrote:Nice.

Out of curiosity, are you still doing any updates/developments to 2.14x Ttuuxxx?
I've got Top10 running on one of my really old tinker machines and love it

iso and pet file
Hi,
After reading some comments, other websites pages and watching sneekylinux test video , I think that I found the distribution that best fits my old Packard bell PC bought in 2001 (PIII, 1Ghz, 512 RAM, 8 Go of HD).
Well, I'd like to download the last .iso file and burn a CD of Classic Pup 2.14. but I've seen that with the last release i(214x-Top10.0) comes
a software package (devx_214X-top10.0.pet), is it included with the iso file, or should I download and install it later ? by the way, I'm quite new to the puppies , in the past, I installed xubuntu 10.04 and uninstall it shortly after because it was too slow.
anyway, thanks for the work you're doing.

Re: iso and pet file
The iso contains all the files needed to run Puppy Linux. The devx I think has tools for compiling and such.Coffe wrote: Well, I'd like to download the last .iso file and burn a CD of Classic Pup 2.14. but I've seen that with the last release i(214x-Top10.0) comes

this puppy is slow
Hi,
thanks sheldonisaac, I burned the LiveCD and made a brief test of the distro.
The CPU usage is often high 40%-60% (busy), it reaches 100% when I open some apps and it hanged three or four times. The RAM usage is low, I noticed the right click on mouse don't has an effect ?
In multimedia, divx videos were very slow with cutted sounds (I used to watch them with XP/Me). flash videos instead work quite fine.
here is the complete hardinfo report :

May be Classic Pup 2.14X isn't the right Puppy for my Desktop, I'm waiting for your comments, thanks.
