Hello!

This is...

L. A. S. S. I. E.


What does L.A.S.S.I.E. mean?

L. azY Puppy Modular Concept
A. ntiquity Icon Set - including the Wallpapers
S. ARA-B
S. FS P.L.U.S.
I. ncredible VarioMenu
E. xtension SFS Module


L.A.S.S.I.E. 002 PAE is based on Precise 5.7.1, its Kernel is 3.9.11.
L.A.S.S.I.E. 002 NO PAE is based on Precise 5.7.1-retro, its Kernel is 3.2.48.

L.A.S.S.I.E. is build with the LazY Puppy ISO Builder 1.0.42, which is a fork of Woofy 0.91, put together in combination with LazY Remaster Suite, which makes me able to create a new L.A.S.S.I.E. (or whatever Puppy) always from the clean base ISO File - all Settings are saved and can be loaded for later use. So, each new ISO uses the fresh and clean base ISO and is then just remastered once!

L.A.S.S.I.E. is the new LazY Puppy and in fact a result of developing the LazY Puppy ISO Builder 1.0.42


Special Features (green = updated in 002):

- Shutdown/Reboot immediately without running 'shutdownconfig' to create a save file
- - can be switched on/off in Shutdown-GUI

- 10 activated Desktops
- - 8 Desktops are synchronized with the Incredible VarioMenu
- - - These Desktops/VarioMenu-Groups are:
- - - Administrator, Audio, Favorites, Graphics, Internet, Multimedia, Office and Video
- - - Each Desktop now has its own wallpaper

- Desktops and VarioMenu-Groups can be switched by the VarioMenu-Icon, centered on top of the Screen
- - they can also be switched by the VarioMenu-Group Pager Icon, in SysTray
- - Desktops and VarioMenu-Groups can be switched by keyboard shortcuts
- - Strg 1 switches to Desktop 1, Alt 1 switches to VM-Group 1 (e.g.)

- Right-click Functions for the Drive Icons are well improved
- - Function 'Unmount ALL mounted Partitions' will first unload all loaded SFS Modules
- - after this all mounted ISO, SFS and 2fs, 3fs, 4fs Files in /mnt will be unmounted
- - then the Drives do unmount

- Added Option to the Right-click Menu of the Drive Icons to execute some programs
- 'GParted' Partition Manager
- 'Grub4Dos' Boot Config Manager

- Added Option to the Right-click Menu of the Drive Icons to Power Off the Computer
- - it will first unload all loaded SFS Modules
- - after this all mounted ISO, SFS and 2fs, 3fs, 4fs Files in /mnt will be unmounted
- - then the Drives do unmount
- - then the Shutdown-GUI appears on the Screen

- Changed behavior when clicking a PET file
- - a GUI appears when a PET is clicked the 1st time in a session
- - - it offers option to choose either to build a SFS Module automatically
- - - or to install the PET package as usual
- - - if 'build a SFS Modue' is chosen, it will be used as default during the session
- - - though, one can still install PET packages by right-clicking it


- L.A.S.S.I.E. knows its boot partition, boot directory, 1st parallel partition and 2nd parallel partition (Boot Partition=sdd1 --> sdd2 --> sdd3)
- - it falls back to boot partition, if no other partition is available at the boot drive

Additional new SFS Modules for L.A.S.S.I.E.
published on a later date as L.A.S.S.I.E. has been published

LP2_Openshot-1.4.3-precise.sfs - this Openshot comes with Python included !!!
Since the Blender 2.63 3D Studio seems to work in L.A.S.S.I.E., it can be used for Openshot to create Animated Titles.
Python27-for-Openshot143.sfs - this is only needed, if you are using one of those Openshot packages to be found here.


Software in Single SFS Modules:
already available in LazY Puppy Repository

I haven't included RunScripts for SFS Modules in L.A.S.S.I.E. 002, since I don't know, what Application the user wants to use or how many of them he/she will have builtin to the OS.

The ISO contains a text file containing a list of SFS Modules, that will/should run in L.A.S.S.I.E. 002. Just download those modules wanted manually and put them into the L.A.S.S.I.E. 002 boot directory. After this create RunScripts for the SFS Modules and do a remaster (use SFS P.L.U.S. Remaster for this!).

Most of the Applications listed above are not available to download or just available as some older versions. So do not install them into L.A.S.S.I.E. 002!

I will give this a spin as soon as I can, found a new Linux to USB app for Macs! I love my Macs but they don't play well with Linux so hope to give it a spin. If not, I will load it up on my netbook.

Hi.
Thanks for your work.
So far works well except my pppoe connection.
I had to replace pppoe-setup files from Shinobar's version to be able
to connect.

Just wondering.....

Can this puppy use .pet files too or only .sfs files?

[toomanyquestions]

LASSIE has a nice original feel. The icons are unique, and the wallpaper is nicely tuned to the icon theme. The default wallpaper could be a little lighter though - the drive icons blend in a bit on old monitors

You might consider adding one or two additional b&w/sepia wallpapers; perhaps an old farmhouse in a field or a classic still-life, etc.

Thanks for making puppy a little more enjoyable.
