This is my current laptop spin on vivid-beta2 by 666philb. Kernel 4.0.2-pae.

why does it say fake.qz? I'm downloading it now but not sure what I'm supposed to do with it. I'll try to figure it out once it downloads.

[Fossil]

Has anybody else cracked it? Download. Then convert the fake (dot) .gz to (dot).txt. A https download location will then be visible in a text editor.

just my opinion... but, believe me... it's not worth downloading... LOL

Did a quick frugal install. Looks good and loaded with applications.
Good job.

[James C]

As was mentioned in the EmSee-Tahr thread,
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 366#846366

was unable to create a savefile as well so I just created an empty "vividsave" folder in the frugal directory with the vmlinuz,initrd and sfs files.....saving now.

[stemsee]

Thanks @james.c

I will look into the savefile misfunction. Another way around it, apart from creating a folder named vividsave in the boot directory would be to load stemsees-remastering-suite and option 7a create savefile. Such options will soon be added to simple-remaster utilities. Another option is to install shinobar's solution.

I think the problem with megasync links is the '!' inside, which breaks the url bbcode on this forum. I don't think there's a way around it. ETP redirected through tinyurl to bypass the '!' altogether.

Swift. Nice effort

This could benefit with @01Micko's SAMBA V4 utility (Only 12MB distro impact, but benefit is obvious in a distro of this caliber)

Hi Stemsee.

Such a remaster would be a bit involved for a newcomer, don't you think?

In any case, I provided a ready-made solution here, for the other incarnation
of your puplet. Once that zip archive is fully unzipped in Emsee-Vivid's
home folder, just rename to vividsave-arf.2fs and reboot.

BFN.

[stemsee]

Thanks Musher0 for providing the pre-made savefile. Maybe ... The remastering suite is a bit of a sprawling mess.

I don't know about your suite, I didn't try it. It may be a great piece of code.
But anytime I hear the word "remaster", I think "complicated". Now imagine
what a newbie will think...

Anyway, no sweat. My pleasure.

stemsee ,

CAN YOU MAKE XFCE
WITH LATEST KERNEL?

-------------
REGARDS.

[stemsee]

Here is an xfce.sfs that you can load.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/checkma ... s/download

here is a recent kernel 4.0.2

[zagreb999]

HI stemsee ,

GRUB2 IN KERNEL (XUBUNTU...) BOOTS
IN 5s, GRUB4 BOOTS IN 50s...
WHAT DO YOU THINK
TO CREATE GRUB2 FOR PUPPY LINUX...?
REGARDS.
-----------------------

[stemsee]

grub2 xubuntu on full install?
grub4dos on puppy with which boot parameters? try this

kernel /vivid/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd psubdir=vivid pfix=ram,nocopy,fsck

Did you boot puppy from full install?
You cannot compare different installs (full or frugal) and different media/parameters. Puppy frugal if booting to ram with sfs to rm and savefile to ram also depends on sizes!

The Vivid will have lasted only the weather of summer, the loves of beach will be fast forgotten, I suggest you rename it to the Ubuntu winter version.
I tasted the light version, and it's a nice Puppy.
