(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

If anyone is interested, I tried the Puppy in this thread on an eeePC 701 and while I didn't try all the features like internet for example, most of the games work really well in that they fit nicely on the small screen.

This is a very elegant Puppy, nicely done.

It's a great shame some of these distros fall by the wayside, this one is a beauty, and it flies on my old M prossessor laptop.

Thanks for bumping this one. Playing happily now

Hi, Thanks for this, I just discovered this thread. I just burned 4ks-02 to cd rw. Booted to desktop and played around a little. I used k3b to erase a cd rw. It looks great so far. Shutdown got me to a prompt. I had that issue with 4.3.1 on some computers. Just hit the power button.This is on a Samsung rv510 lt. I loved 4.3.1 so this is great.
Cheers

Edit: I used shutdown by right clicking on desktop, when I use shutdown on lower left menu it shuts down fine.

Does one use the kernel source and devx files from Puppy 431 if wanting to compile?
IOW, does this iso use the same kernel as the original Puppy 431?
Also, I am assuming that one does not need to use a login screen or use sudo to get things done.
The version I currently use on my PC is puppy-4.3beta1-k2.6.25.16-v423-SCSI.iso. with the updates as it progressed added and also the shutdown fix.
That was a test version Barry made that got pulled for not being able to boot from a SCSI drive if I remember correctly.
It has been a while!

Whoa! It also could have been pup-431-scsi-intel-modems.iso

It seems I have both in my collection of ISO files on a 96 gig partition.

Hi guys, thanks for posting to this. Somehow I missed the updated version. Works very nice! Ran update to Firefox, added Deadbeef as BMP doesn't play .wma files. Really snappy on my 1.5g celeron m desktop with 1 gig of ram. Thanks, Rob

I've been messing around with this a lot lately.

Anyone know how to set the run action of icons I added to the desktop? I can do this in JWM, but in KDE it's not the same.

Is there any way to install a more current seamonkey?
Cheers

this pupplet is maintain only by me, and an other pupplet maintain by owner. look like i dont have a time and an other pc to work and continue fixing.

we here just only have a few offical puppy that maintain by group and look like this one is not official .

but i already build new one. based debian squeze and just ind out how to use xorg work ok. still can't decide using old slax or new one.

Thanks pri,

I installed it and work fine. fast on my old compas presario 2100 528 ram.
I would like to know if you can talk to me where I can find more pet for this Puppy, for exemple french translate.

I wait for your next work

You can use Puppy 4 / Puppy 4.3.1 .pets.

Also you can type in French, click the flag.

I don't know how to make the menus in French, but there is also Toutou 4.3.1 (but with a different look and programs).

1. glad to hear it work fine
2. since this is an old pupplet, it will be hard to find a pet for it. you can always try new pet and find missing libs to complete it.
3. since i am not speak and understand french and just type an english on a simple and bad. look like it will be hard to build a translate pet. but since this puplet using kde, look like you can find kde trinity debian based translate. but dont sure will be work on menu.
4. mybe soon i relese new one i am never update an alpha one.

Simple Puppies give the same, even more. No special interest in KDE.
Linux Puppy have a lot of puplets. What i am looking for is someting in the wallet.
Nowadays connect the web is easy.
But programs inside KDE-Slax have no mere interest than those that you find everywhere, in any of the repositories.
Gnumeric, abiword, are renewed. With KDE, we enter the museum !

I escape from here, they are going to kill me !

Hello and thank you for your hard work!
I have problem,this puppy won't start because of my graphic card.
I have ATI 4650 HD.
I tried every ATI settings from your puppy,nor xorg or xvesa won't work.
Please help.
I don't want to change to some other puppy because I believe that this puppy has support for my Lucent hardware modem.
Thank you!

mybe try vesa. not xorg.

I have tried that. There was no sucess.
