PuppyRus-A from Russia

#1 Post by Pro »

Greetings to all,
I propose to see the Russian version Puppy.
To make it easier, I set the locale en_US and translate boot menu.
Some messages and scripts stayed in Russian,

Enjoy.

Hi All,

I decided to download the Pro's PuppyRus-A from Ally's fast repo. Thanks to both of you.

On accessing Ally's Arhive.org I discovered that the link was to a page which offered many ISOs. To figure out which ISO was the one being discussed on this thread, I opened another tab to the webpage Pro provided. The ISO from that page has the name pra03_en-1603middle3.

Looking forward to trying out an Arch-based Puppy. And perhaps learning a little Russian. :)

This is an Arch Linux based distro, originally it was ArchPup, but currently is an independently built project. I've been playing with it for about a year now, even managed to localize it into US english, following the corresponding wiki of Arch Linux. But unfortunately the result turned out to be somewhat a half *ssed solution - 50% us and 50% russian. If properly localized ... I'm trying to avoid controversy ... well, it would obliterate all 32bit projects, that exist here in Puppy Linux. It's a piece of art - very advanced and extremely sophisticated. Built by a small team of Russian Puppy enthusiasts. Old school Russian devs. It's extremely fast - before I count 1, 2, 3, I see the desktop. Part of the reason it's so fast, is that it has a utility that rebuilds your initrd to your hardware specs. It shuts down before I say 1, 2. However, I'm talking about my own, older version, which of course has been customized. I have some screenshots, but right now I don't have a functioning PeasyGlue app. The attached images are not presentation style, sorry. Out of the box as you will see, PRA has stunningly high quality font rendering.
--------------------------------
A quick thank you in Russian:

Pro,

Большое Spasibo!

It boots pretty much like Porteus (or Fred's DebianDog porteus boot method) something like:

Code: Select all

LABEL PRA03-1503
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /pra/initrd.xz
LINUX /pra/vmlinuz-3.19.2-pf2 dir=pra copy2ram quiet login=root nocd noeject noswap timezone=Europe/Moscow ipv6.disable=1
initrd /pra/initrd.xz
Structurally, it's also very much like Porteus, except it is Arch :) the same modular approach.

puppyluvr, look into iso-image syslinux.cfg and see boot options for kernel.

anikin, login=root nocd noeject noswap copy2ram необ

I feel the need to do some promo work.
This is where Russian Puppians reside:
http://puppyrus.org
http://forum.puppyrus.org
A lost tribe surrounded by an insurmountable language barrier.
Politically incorrect but smart and proud nonetheless :)
I'm not affiliated with them - not their league, not by a long shot.

These are the folks behind the project:

sfs
- main developer.

Pro
- OP of this thread, a major contributor, he compiles the kernel, I think among other things.

RoDoN
- also one of the major contributors. I personally find his work to be very important, because, he seems to be the only one in the gang who supports JWM/Rox. In my installation I use his JWM/Rox module, for which a huge spasibo to him.

They are all registered users of this forum.
Do a search on member list, find their accounts and flood them to death with personal requests via PM :)

:D Hello,
Burned a Cd, booted right up.
Multitude of boot choices. Used "In ram, no save".
Went right to a desktop. Looks very good. Was able to explore it a little, until the language barrier overcame me.
I was curious to locate its package management system.
I was however unable to find it.
Found the internet connection wizard, but was unable to translate my way onto the internet. ;-)
Still, very slick.
Will continue playing with it and get back....

I was curious to locate its package management system.
sfs-get in terminal or "Sfs-get менеджер модулей .pfs" in Start menu - Configuration
internet connection wizard, but was unable to translate my way onto the internet.
netctl for wired connection, wifi-menu for wireless connection, gnome-ppp and wvdial for modem connection.
Will continue playing with it and get back....
make new screenshot for forum theme :)

if it would be of any interewst to you the porteus team has already built an Arch (actuall Manjaro if I'm not wrong) based porteus, aka nemesis ... it is not officially published yet, but you can find the link to it in their forum, it's lxde version is reported to be almost bug-free, as far as I know.
Godspeed

My friends and I are not fluent in English.
Some scripts originally written in Russian.

In the future, if possible we will try to become the English system by simply specifying the locale en_US.

The main problem was for our members the language setup to english...

:-D

I wonder if you have a language pack to translate?

I have found a link:

http://mirror.yandex.ru/puppyrus/puppy/ ... pm_2_ru-1/

It would be a good base to creating a similar pack for PuppyRus-A.

No it`s langpack for Tahr Puppy, not for PuppyRus-A
What I don't like, though is their isolationism. Just don't understand it. And it's not a matter of their English being not fluent enough, there's something else to it. I don't know what exaclty, though. Maybe, they are protective about their work, something they don't want to share, I don't know.

:D Hello,
Figured out the pfs thing right off.
But thanks for the last link!
8) that will be helpful...
Many guis have multiple choice buttons, and I'm not having much luck guessing. ;-)
But, as I said @ the Puppy Linux Users Group on Facebook (please join) its like a challenging game.
I know the Puppy structure, and that helps.
Once I found the Terminal.
:D
