run puppy as spot
Posted: Sun 01 May 2011, 08:50
I admit, I had not been thinking about windows when making that statement. It has been influenced by Bruce's commentrcrsn51 wrote:...So what happens to a user with a frugal install inside a Windows partition whose savefile isn't big enough to hold a download?L18L wrote:browsing as root should become not possible anymore.
Now there is no root .mozilla. I changed things so if I accidentally try and start Firefox as root, it won't run. Basically, modifying start scripts to verify the user is spot.
I don't have a windows partition and can now only speculate about what would happen in that situation:
if the savefile is not big enough the system will request to increase the savefile. The savefile itself is .sfs, permissions in windows(none= all =777). Inside the savefile there are permissions set linux files.
Of course this needs to be confirmed by real tests, volunteers to the rescue please.
Until that I stay confidont.

As you all know I am not the sharpest knife in our collective drawer 
So take this as a friendly teaser.
Would it be easier to do without a pupsave file? English user don't need it for changing the keyboard map to no or dk or de or fr or es or whatever.
Each time I try a non puppy linux distro I end uo going to Terminal and writing setxkbmap se to know where to find / or [ or something else needed.
What else does one need a pupsavefile for. Time. We all live in different time zones. Could that be handled in some other way?
Sure one want to retain the Firefox bookmarks and kind people tell me to use a free online sync but that makes me to rely on them getting enough ads that pay for it or they go pay or go broke.
so I have tried to solve this by exporting bookmarks as a html and then one click on these and add them as bookmarks maually each time at boot when one need them. Cumbersome but one need no pupsavefile.
What else is it needed for. oh yes all the other changes that people love. Switch the background image and change style and icons and how the menu list things and so on. Screen savers and what not.
So could one just load such as an sfs file instead using SFS-Exec that Seaside has a thread about? I don't know just trying to think

That is the link to Fido on Barry's blog on my computer
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_pa ... 2-1-w5.pet
I’m working on DangerDog! creating the most dangerous Linux distro possible -- always root, no firewall allowed, javascript and flash always enabled, unlimited write and exec permissions given to the world, no encryption passwords, browser user agent announcing DangerDog! and inviting well-wishers to send fleas, advertisements, popups, bombs and dangerous toys.
However there’s a trick to DangerDog! that makes it the safest Linux distro possible. Guess what that trick is. I can’t tell you because that might discourage well-wishers from sending all those goodies. Puppies need bones to bury.
Getting back on topic maybe a warning sign when Puppy boots up might satisfy some critics and chase off some of the paranoids Puppy seems to attract.

Bernie, please make sure that root won't be able to install any additional software and forget everything read in Linux for Dummies...
Anyhow in case of additional software the culprit won't be puppy but root himself.
DangerDog lets me think about bones serving as honeypot for puppies.

Test of manual entry of url one need % 2 8 and % 2 9 maybe
Sorry me feel dense but Honeypot Puppy then would be kind of totally open to the outside world and presenting a kind of Sandbox that made the impression that they have looked around and left a keylogger and back door and whatever behind while in actual life they only had access to a fake version and containted within some safe loopmounted file system that flash a warning to the real puppy that yet another break in had happend and don't save it to the pupsave this time either. Click here and all get aborted instantly something. ooh my headache comes back

thanks you are our sharpest knife on forum software
I knew blank has to be '%20'
Now I have learnt: '(' = '%28 'and ')' = '%29'
Forget the honeypot, please keep cool.

It didn't occur to me until you named it but a honeypot is exactly what it is. I have a red stoplight on the desktop that lights up when somebody steps into the trap. However, knowing who they are usually doesn't help.
Go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeypot and then click on the Honeypot (computing) link. This forum doesn't like parentheses in an url and Nooby's trick is too complicated for an old geezer.

You would choose to use spot or not as either a kernel option, question when turning on, or something else. It would be a simple way to get a multiuser puppy running by editing 1/2 files, but I don't know if it would work, or how to edit the boot files to try it out.
Anyone know if this is possible?
