(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello, all.

I guess jrb is running a parallel course of ideas.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 079#733079

Acting upon his "semi-full install" idea, we could copy the contents of all
required sfs's -- i.e. all the files of the programming languages we need --
in the underdog partition.

Another interesting thing about his post is that, once the Puppy underdog
is set up, he seems to be able to access it from a trimmed-down, "bare-
bones" type Puppy, and the larger previously installed Puppy seems to be
accessible? (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

BFN.

PS. Still, if this thread could remain focused on "grouping" sfs's, please?
Thanks in advance.

I apologize for any deviation from your theme. It seemed closely related.

As I said... Yes to more grouped add-on SFS pkgs. This is good organization.

Hi, sunburnt.

My remark was not directed at you at all. I think your post is quite relevant
to this thread.

Rather, I am afraid that people will start discussing Puppy's "underdog"
capacity here rather than on jrb's thread.

Best regards.

If a Puppy-ready java package is readily available, I believe that the user
will continue with Puppy. That's my reasoning behind making java and qt
run-times more easily available.
My policy : all big stuff will run by windows, if a windows version is available.
These big applications are not concerned by speed.

In spite of here above policy, a have a fat Slacko with all these different programming languages. So i would be interested in adding the more JRE applications as possible (user's applications, not programming ones)
Datacrow is the only one ?

Hi, pelo.

No, not only datacrow. Please see this thread.

It lists all kinds of java apps Puppyists have used successfully.

I hope this helps.

It's really a good idea, A puppy Java, a Puppy KDE, a Puppy Qt.
Puppy KDE and Puppy Qt were released by our better Puppy-builders in the past. I get them running in my 64 bits computer, four processors..
There are a big change in every day menu of Woof-ce just born puppies, all the same

Musher0 want to go one step forward, if i understand his English words. And i agree with the idea.
Qt the job is done by quickpet Tahrpup (Qt libs are included in the CD)

In the same spirit java JRE applis could be joined together, to get java more useful, not only for one app. When you have paid MBs for java, applications would not increase much your invoice. In the contrary install most of them and eventually delete classical apps of similar usage.
A quickpet Java is a good idea, and would be a way to change the menu of our fast Puppies , always fitting new hardware but with redundant software , redundant does not mean bad, it's only means redundant. Java apps are not better, there are different.
That is to keep our passengers interest. (how to install and bugs information is necessary, of course, but our thousands of users all don't get happy with solving technical problems, some fun is needed with our Puppy Linux)
