SUSE Studio kame your own version?
I am too confused to read all that text
and to get the implications. But seems
they promise you can tailor make your
own Suse using the SUSE Studio tools.
Sounds interesting to me. It is easy they say?
Has any of you tested to do it ?

James C thanks for the link to Vsido
New to me so that was interesting.
Being Debian based did you test
if it allow you to boot as root?
If you did that could you share the code needed
on the menu.lst ?
I failed getting it to boot using a grub4dos menu.lst
on NTFS it lacked something that it exoected be there
It had a directory I had no idea how to relate to in the code

Well the no tinkering rule didn't last so long had to swap pulseaudio for alsa - the only thing i seem to read of pulseaudio is people having issues with it, makes you wonder how it is a default in many distrosstu91 wrote:Switched from Bodhi to Crunchbang for my full HDD install - going to try and leave it be and just use it as my main OS over the Christmas period.

I agree totally. If I install a new distro and the sound is rubbish, there's a good chance PulseAudio is installed by default.stu91 wrote:Well the no tinkering rule didn't last so long had to swap pulseaudio for alsa - the only thing i seem to read of pulseaudio is people having issues with it, makes you wonder how it is a default in many distrosstu91 wrote:Switched from Bodhi to Crunchbang for my full HDD install - going to try and leave it be and just use it as my main OS over the Christmas period.

Simplicity changes direction again
What a strange distribution Simplicity Linux is.....
For their latest offering - 14.1Beta - they have jumped ship again and are using Slacko5.6 as their base + LxPup-by-SFS (an old version) + various bits from XFCE.
You would think that their users would get very confused by their repeated changes of direction.....
The worry is that quite a lot of people are downloading Simplicity and maybe read that it is a Puppy derivative without understanding that the Simplicity team seem to make no contribution or acknowledgement to the Puppy community.
I guess we should be pleased that they are able to use so many Puppy components without apparently finding any problems during their extensive testing.....
All the best

http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=2953
Based on Slackware14.1 with k3.12.4 so pretty "up-to-date"
I downloaded the LXDE version. Seems to run fine. Openbox3.5.2 and PcManFM1.1.2
The Broadcom WL driver seems to be a new version:
eth1: Broadcom BCM4312 802.11 Hybrid Wireless Controller 6.30.223.141
so this will need investigation.....wifi connection on my HP550 laptop worked OTB.

I find at the moment I'm using other distros a lot less than I am Puppy, not least because Puppy is the one distro which makes my seven year old computer feel something like a new machine (and I don't really want to upgrade if I don't have to).

Here I am testing Centrych that latest DistroWatch writes about .
http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue ... 23#feature
I will try to find the code on the HD but maybe I have to reboot
into puppy for to do it. I am not used to this xfce that mimic KDE style.
The HD is named Isodevice so it was easier than what I thought.
I have not really tested it just told Firefox 25 to run and logged in to Puppy forum.
It is a frugal live so you have to figure out how to do persistence.
I even fail to remember how to tell it to do Swedish keyboard.
set xkbdmap se maybe

I made a frugal boot but are not good at explaining how I did it.Centrych OS is an Ubuntu-based project which is developed with the philosophy
that the best solution is a middle ground between two contending views.

The HD is named Isodevice so it was easier than what I thought.
I had to rename the iso file as above and place it in hometitle centrych
root (hd0,0) /centrych-desktop_12.iso
kernel /centrych/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/centrych-desktop_12.iso
initrd /centrych/casper/initrd.lz

This time I tested the xfce version.
Not sure what I was in first time.
This is the code that I used this time
The xcentrych tell the boot to go into the Xfce
so what was I in when I first booted
It is a bit slow due to how big it is and it is not run in RAM
But not so slow that one don\t want to use it as a live.
What it lack is an easy way for a noob to get how to make changes persistent.

Was it on the original NTFS or did you create
a separate partition?
what boot code did you use for grub4dos

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried Manjaro in the past and thought it was a good distro but it seems there are problems with the GRUB configuration at the moment.Dean wrote:You should give Manjaro a spinColonel Panic wrote:I find at the moment I'm using other distros a lot less than I am Puppy, not least because Puppy is the one distro which makes my seven year old computer feel something like a new machine (and I don't really want to upgrade if I don't have to).
