we have many Puppies for typists, but no typists.

as the delivery man will install the washing machine but will not wash the rope, we have many Puppies for typists, but no typists.
:D :!: I play Puppy, but letters or school lessons are no my cup of tea... But sure people will be interested, not to use it, but to get inspired by some new ideas for their Puppies.

In what language do you write novels? Can you give some titles?

Hello, Flash, you can see the titles in www.lemryan.com. I write in spanish, by now. And write in Puppy Linux, yeah, for a long time.

Great job done! I'm going to try KDE version - after I'll find some more modern PC ;-)

And one question, please: KDE-iso is much more compact than Mate one. What does it lack in comparison?

Oh, sorry, main difference is what KDE version don't have LibreOffice pre-installed, by weight reason precisely.

md5sum?

#11 Post by toomanyquestions »

Do you have an md5sum to verify the download? I'll probably run this on a flash drive soon - but I generally try to verify first.

0.9.8 update: yes, with global menu.

And sorry for retard, md5checksum is c047551acba05f951dcf7a644f6cde03

What Pup is this based on? It does not have the conventional file structure in its ISO... I went to do a manual frugal install and my eyes crossed.

Usually, Puppy has the following files --
vmlinuz
initrd.gz
puppy_version_###.sfs
puppy_zdrv_###.sfs (well, sometimes)

I don't see any of those at the root of this ISO. It looks more like DebianDog or similar, to me -- which would make it not technically Puppy but a "Puppy-like distro" (we really need a proper term for that...).

Download of 096 version in progress -- my previous post referred to 098 version. Sorry for the confusion, if there was any.

I'm re-downloading Yara 098. Perhaps I got a bad download?

Yara 096 boots on my testing netbook (ASUS 1005HA, 2gb RAM, 500gb mechanical hard drive) very nicely.

Although, I see that you haven't found the fix for the one problem with Caja in Puppy: it crashes on drive unmount. A pity. The whole thing is very nice otherwise. If it weren't for that one issue, I'd think of switching. MATE brings back memories, for me -- my first experience of Linux was an older version (ancient, by now) of Ubuntu using GNOME2, which became MATE later.

I daresay it's faster than X-Tahr 1b3, too. Very nice -- just find a fix for that Caja issue and you'll have a real winner -- and a convert ;)

Ah! Yara 098 finished downloading while I was typing... definitely a different structure from what was before. Let's see how *it* looks... :)

EDIT: well, that's interesting :? it reboots the netbook, rather than booting Yara. This is a manual frugal install (copy vmlinuz, initrd.gz, and *.sfs files from ISO, run grub4dos bootloader) on a known-good ext4-formatted flash drive. MD5sum for the ISO itself is c047551acba05f951dcf7a644f6cde03 -- fmiguel, can you verify whether that's correct for Yara 098...?

Um, just for the record here, "retard" or "retarded" in English refers to a person who has (usually by way of defect at birth) a lower intellectual ability than most. It's commonly used as an insult along the same theme, i.e. to imply that someone is possibly developmentally challenged in that regard.

Ouch, excuse me for my poor english. Of course, I employed retard referring time delay in my reply. But I understand the confusion, in spanish retraso always has this double meanings.
