if you are downloading puppy-barebones-1.0.5alpha1.iso
you want to use puppy-barebones-1.0.5alpha1.iso.txt
to check the md5sums
not puppy-barebones-1.0.4.iso.txt

if you use wget, it's really easy
download puppy-barebones-1.0.4.iso.txt
then press the downarrow key to repeat the command
remove .txt using the backspace key and press enter

Apparently a server problem. Let's give Barry a chance to fix it.

Hey guys, sorry about devx.sfs, it didn't have read permissions so couldn't be downloaded. Now fixed.

Maybe if you have downloaded puppy 1.0.5alpha1 and md5sum is wrong, post it here and we will see if others get the same md5sum.

both md5sums are correct here, thanks Barry Wink

Hey, I re downloaded the iso, and the md5sum is now correct.

Am looking around frantically for a blank CD....

YAY! Here's one! Very Happy

Guest · Guest

I'm lovin' it so far!

Great work - this is my first Bare-Bones, I really like it so far....

Yay! Now I can try to compile VLC myself, instead of begging others to do it for me! (I can try, at least... Very Happy

)

Thanks Barry!

yep - I finally got it it too

using Opera was a good tip as it kept toping - eventually I was able to stop the download and restart the last few minutes

- then on booting up into the New Pup I used pupget to install Opera and used that to download the second file into /mnt/home

so eh - now what?

Embarassed

With thanks to Rasa (for code help in Vector) and Barry for our new Pup Compiler . . .

For a very simple program. e.g. Hello world or the below test.c you don't even need compilation parameters

cc is just a symlink to gcc....there is no difference......It's put there for the sake of Makefiles that ,rightly, don't assume gcc is the default compiler. That symlink could in fact point to tinycccccccccccccccccccccc

I'm going home right now and I will test this puppy!

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks Barry

Now, how does one set the alpha system up to compile the kernel?

This is what I need to compile the sata drivers directly into the kernel.

Of course, running from the cd causes the uncompressed kernel to run out of space.

OK, I see now.

I'm also going to try it with a hard drive installation, as well.

If this works out well, I will do a how-to (wiki?).

I have one started for a plain ide drive installation with sata support, as modules.

I'll let all know how it goes.

Barry,

I think it would be a good idea to create a separate pupkernel file. It would be the same as a pup001 file except that it would only contain the kernel.

This is, it would be read/write.

I'll play with it when I get some time.
