(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

@partsman - thanks for the link. chroot expose every env set by root - good to know.
Turns out that static linked gtk2 bins are slightly more complex than I hoped: glib2/gtk2 internally loads external dyn libs so some functions has to be patched out

In your chroot you'll need /tmp/.X11-unix/<display>
Note that you can use env -i var=val ... <command> to pass the exact env vars that you want.
You can run a separate Xserver like xnest so that it comes up in a window.
It's good for testing various window managers/desktop settings for lower resolutions.

Where is the download link?
I want to try to make a remaster that is very minimal size iso.
Thank you

I was thinking it would be cool to put all this into an initial ram disk. Not sure why one would would need this yet but would like to learn.

there were many other tiny puppies
but
pupngo was/is THE minimal modular puppy
because it was so sophisticated

i could never understand why the other gurus
didn't join in its development

if you play with it
please post your thoughts on this thread
I'm sure many people would be interested

I think that the LazyPup & T.O.P.P.L.E.S.S series had somewhat similar of a philosophy in that SFS were used as much as possible. I was thinking of pupngo as an intial ram disk with the option of either booting into a minimal pupngo desktop environment or a more modern T.O.P.P.L.E.S.S style environment. I have a fair bit of learning to do first and limited time so don't expect me to get their over night.

thanks for reminding me of lazypup and topless
im not very familiar with them
but they seemed like great systems
with an enormous amount of effort put into them
maybe the ramdrive control system
and the the sfs files from them can be used

i do believe that a minimal ramdrive
with added sfs files is the way to go
since it makes each part more manageable and independent

i continue to play with tinycore/corepup
since i like the symlink system better than the union file system
but it would be great to see something that uses puppy stuff
i do intend to convert puppy sfs files to tinycore tcz files
and i feel that this is all the same concept

as to feeling pressured
i just do things at my own pace
since i have other responsibilities
and i want to keep this an enjoyable exercise
its just nice to talk to someone about these ideas

good luck
i will be following this thread with great interest
