@anikin: Ok, I will update first page regarding this issue, might help someone. Thanks.

@oui: You have mplayer and mplayer2 in arch's repo.
mplayer2 package is less than 1MB but it needs ffmpeg,
and to watch or download youtube videos there's minitube.

Regards

Did a frugal install on my old Athlon XP box...... no problem creating save file....actually no real problems at all. Internet,sound and display all working and correct on initial boot. Will do more testing when some free time magically appears.
Good start.

has anyone installed anything from the AUR?

Some instructions for using AUR and packer...

1. Go to https://aur.archlinux.org/, search for packer and download tarball
2. Extract packer.tar.gz, open PKGBUILD and add 'ca-certificates' to depends list.
3. Open terminal in same folder where u saved PKGBUILD. Type makepkg -sic --asroot.
4. After packer is installed you can browse and install packages from AUR.
5. For example search with: packer -Ss leafpad
6. compile and install package directly from AUR: packer -S leafpad-noheader

Hi

the new version .1 works real better on my PC than the first one.

but I constate a unfriendly difference with puppy:

Puppy finds and mount automatic /mnt/home or /initrd/mnt/dev_save or /initrd/mnt/dev_ro2 (a bit chaotic, I know!) depending of the puplet.

important is that the partition in which the puplet is logged in is directly already mounted and named with a symbolic address being valid on all PC's using the puplet, so that you can send your puplet to an other puppy user or upload it and it works!

as years and years ago this works without to need to search a solution, I am not experimented in that . how to realize it in ArchPup 1204?

kind regards

Pwireless problem:
I select my wifi network, when I press connect nothing happens, no WPA2 key asked, and no connection establisehd.
Tried with a WPA and WEP networks - no luck. I only have wired lan.
I'm working with an Acer Aspire One with atheros AR5BXB63 card. Usually ath5k driver works.

PS: please rename zip file as txt file - forum doesn't allow txt files

Hi T_Hobbit,

It's been reported by mavrothal, see here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=668153#668153

Looks like it's problem with udev, but since I dont own wireless can't check that myself.

So mavrothal if you see this please open file: /var/lib/spkg/installed/udev/def.

and check if there is something wrong with configure options or some udev.rules are missing?

Would really like to fix this...

I've wanted an Arch based Puppy for ages, but I just haven't found the time to attack the making, myself.
So a big thankyou for this ArchPup,, which I've just finished downloading, and I'm longing to try it out. Arch is a super distro, but as I'm a Puppy Addict it's the perfect solution for me. With pacman the prospects are without limit, and it's my dream Puppy that you've created.
Sincerely you have my greatest, and humble THANKS!

How do I switch the clock to Eastern Time?
