mplayer for oldest puppies; boot puppy from DOS with linld

well you never know

Surprise me.

Not just oss - libpangocairo etc. You will probably need puppy 1.07 to
check what libraries it has. I compiled for a much older Basiclinux
with fb video and no X but this computer has no framebuffer.

To boot Puppy 1.07 from DOS, get linld from the wakepup image or floppy.
Put all the puppy files in a FAT32 directory.

Make a pup1.cfg:

root=/dev/ram0
pfile=ask
acpi=off

or pfile=pup100-none-(6-digit filesize in K). I downloaded the 124MB
pup001.zip from dotpups.de and it booted using that but said it was
making a 256MB one.

The pfile=ask might let you specify an ext2 partition.

linld image=vmlinuz initrd=image.gz cl=@pup1.cfg

usr_cram.fs must be in c:\ and pup001 in a root (main) directory,
but you can tell linld to use c:\pup107\vmlinuz and c:\pup107\image.gz

mplayer without gui or ALSA for puppy 1.07

Puppy 1.07 is the last to use OSS. I know that Puppy 2.10 onebone (with ALSA) does not find any sound cards (chips).

I can try some day to compile mplayer for p54c and x11 - this computer does not support framebuffer or probably svgalib
(unless I can adjust something to make it work - scrambled).

Not important to view mp4s and flvs on here, just a challenge.
