is someone interested in creating a puppy derivate - that lacks of apps - but has all the drivers included? 1st the mount tool will be started (for beeing able choosing vmware images from drives) and then vmware player should start "fullscreen" so that no interaction with "real" OS is possible...?

I can't seem to find BarelyPup on any of the links. Is it still available?

Thanks.

Hi:

I have a frugal install of barelypup on my harddrive. It is installed to /home. I have placed the devx_213.sfs in my /home directory and when I reboot into barelypup, it seems to be loaded based on the memory indicator.

However, when I type in the CLI 'which perl', I get nothing. When I 'modprobe ndiswrapper', it just hangs. When I type in 'find / -iname perl' I get nothing.

Am I right in thinking that barelypup is not seeing devx_213.sfs?

Do I have to install something else before it can recognize devx_213.sfs?

I want to use ndiswrapper and I think the wizard needs perl to run it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Many of the .PETs I have downloaded, while it will install in Grafpup, do not want to install in BarelyPup for some reason. It acts like the files are corrupted. Grafpup seems to read those same files just fine.

To remedy this situation, I have changed the .PET's name to .tar.gz, extracted it and then re-compressed it from within BarelyPup. You end up with a .tar.gz again, but extracting it and re-compressing it takes care of the installing problem. (You use the pupget installer to install the .tar.gz file.)

Sounds good, better than what I was doing to get it to work...thanks.

It could be pupzip that is not working. I noticed it only after I have uploaded the revised ISO.

Hi, i have some troubles with barely puppy
I would like to install it as a normal-os, in his Hdd, saving all preferences and without asking any save session.

I tryed to follow the guides instructions for Hdd install but i got these trobules:

- With a USB Cdrom barleypuppy boot fails
- Using a IDE Cdrom i can install barelyp but i can't install the Grub, when i choose "Install Grub" directly ask me if i want to install another floppy booter (but it did nothing because if I restart boot fails as there isn't any boot loader).
Can you help me?

Thank you

Hi:

I'm having the same problem with PostgreSQL as shown on this post:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=10992

I'm using BarelyPup 2.13. I have an identical setup in Pup 2.16 that works flawlessly.

Is there a library or system pup that I have to add to BarelyPup so that I can have postgres as a user?

Basically when I compile PostgreSQL and set up the postgres user in BarelyPup everything works fine. When I reboot the postgres user no longer has access to /usr/local/pgsql/data folder. When I

chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data

the properties seem to indicate that postgres is the owner but postgres still cannot write to the above folder (permission denied). I have an identical setup in Pup 2.16 that works fine after reboot. That is why I am asking if there is something I have to install into BarelyPup to get it to work.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Grub itself may not be present in barelypup so you have to download and install it (through the package manager).

Or you can browse to here, download Grub and then use package manager (install alien package) to have Grub working. (This method is a bit faster.)

Have tried all the references I can find for a download of the original BarelyPup-2.13-0.1 without success. Does anyone know of a currently live site?

I am looking for a tiny Puppy that will run on my old Panasonic CF-41 MKiii
laptop.

As-is it has 16MB RAM but I can go out and buy another 16MB proprietary
card to get a whopping 32MB of RAM.

It currently runs Win98se, slowly but successfully, and even runs Seamonkey!

I'd like to liberate it from the tyranny of Gates ... is BarelyPup the white knight?
