So I downloaded the latest Raspberrian from the
http://www.raspberrypi.org/ website, and after writing the image to a second card and seeing that it would boot fine, I copied the boot files ( I think it was just bootcode.bin at first ) to the Puppy card. Puppy booted then ...
Puppy will run on the 512M Pi, I'm posting from it now.

EDIT: bootcode.bin is in the zip file, you only need to download Raspberrian if you need something from /lib/firmware.
Thank you, that did make it for ,me too!
I have got my pi 2012-11-21
bootcode.bin has date 2012-10-28

This time I have been starting sap6 with ethernet cable unplugged.
Tray icon for network X is OK
but after having plugged in the ethernet cable and configurated
this icon has not been changed.

Thanks for sharing that one. Have you tested on an old LCD monitor
or a Glass such? I've thrown away all my old clunkers though.
One commentator wrote that the adaper only works if that monitor
can really take that input and few of the old does?
Most of my four none goes beyond 1024 x 768 and
that one is more than that is it not?
One guy wrote that one would need to have real vga
out from the board for it to work good on cheap old monitors?

I only tried on a 15" Philips LCD and it works on 1024x768
As I understand: HDMI has both digiatal AND analog signals. But some equipments only has digital out. This converter supposed to make analog of the digital signals, otherwise you only needed a cable without conversion. That also exist, look it up on ebay "HDMI to VGA cabel"

hi everyone, im glad to see we are making headway into the oncoming storm of ARM. now what are the chances of this being able to run on my olimex a13? i have just got it to boot a linaro ubuntu image....reminds me of xp; 2 days to get it to boot proper, then stuck with no network drivers or apps, and taking up all of 4 gigs!
i was dying to get a pi but the shipping took too long. i ordered the olinuxino instead because it ships in 24 hours! and its a ghz cpu. im glad.
i will be even more glad if someone helps get puppy on it, i been using puppy since it first was born and the last 5 years its been my primary os.
love puppy!

Although it wasn't listed in Puppy's network module list I could load it by clicking on the "More" tab and then on the "Specify" button, but it still couldn't find any new interface.
I thought I saw some kind of error message during boot up before X came up so I exited X ( you could ctrl+alt+F1 to see the boot messages and ctrl+alt+F4 to go back to X ) and that was how I found out that the kernel module for my wifi dongle couldn't find one of its files in the /lib/firmware directory.
I copied everything from Raspberrian's /lib/firmware directory to Puppy's /lib/firmware, probably overkill, and then my wifi worked.
Yeah, good suggestion, I will give this a go. But if I run in to trouble I might decide to compile a new driver. Wat kernel source sfs can I use? It is not listed in the kernel source repo.

Kernel Source
Posted: Thu 21 Mar 2013, 02:57
by woodenshoe
I copied the kernel from Raspbian, I didn't compile it but I had come across a page describing how to do it.
http://elinux.org/Rpi_kernel_compilation
I don't know if that's the same source as was used for Puppy but I think it should work because copying the kernel worked.
EDIT:
It's Raspbian not Raspberrian
raspberrian kernel in puppy

You copied the entire kernel? So not only the firmware in /lib/firmware. I can try that too but I would like to stick with the original 3.1.6-cutdown kernel from Barry.
Did he not use T2 source? I think I read something like that but can't remember where.
Thanks for the tips woodenshoe , I will give it a go, and if I can get my hands on the original kernel source from Barry I will try that too and see what happens.
Anyone out there knows where I can download the kernel source sfs for the squeezed arm puppy that Barry used? I would like to stick to the original source if possible.

The kernel that Barry used way back when is very obsolete from when they were first getting their feet on the ground. It has lots of problems that have been fixed along the way.
If you don't want to deal with the kernel yourself, you can use Berryboot, which will install Puppy along with several other distributions in a multiboot kind of situation sharing a fairly recent, good, kernel.

Aha, so that's why. I'll try newer kernel source then. Nice option though, the Berryboot multi boot.
thanks!

The berryboot thing is interesting and seems to work really well.
I am not 100% on how it works, but it uses squashfs files and layers like puppy. One layer a read only file system for the OS and then the changes (stuff that would go in the save file in a puppy frugal install) is just in a folder and layered on top of it.

Where is the bug

Getflash does not work, the package manager has no flash under the arm6 section and adobe flash in the normal debian section does not want to install. I don't see any external flash file anywhere for Puppi.
Can somebody explain to me as if I was 90 years old how to install flash for chromium?.

First attempts with R-Pi.
1.
See this post in my thread on this topic.
2. Tried to boot "Puppy Raspberry Pi alpha 4" [on a 16GB card], and got NOTHING!
3. Wheezy [on a separate 16GB card] boots OK on the same hardware setup, but I think I've corrupted it by a previous improper power-off when I couldn't see the password characters going up on screen as I typed them.
Duh!
I didn't know at that time that they are NEVER displayed, and that is by design.
