woof-CE needs you
Hey, guys! Trying to build a puppy for myself and i'm running into a problem. I'm currently using ARch Linux and want to build a puppy live cd. I've downloaded woofce from git and tried to start it, but i get an error:
i need puppy iso and devx sfs. What should i download and where should i put those files?!

You should use a Puppy or on Arch "run-woof".
Read the README on github.
It is quite easy to install a Puppy frugally (preferred way for Puppy) next to your Arch.
Find a recent Puppy here: http://puppylinux.com/download.html
The frugal install from Arch:
- Make a folder for Puppy in the partition of your choice. This can be where your Arch resides, or not.
Preferably, but not necessarily a 'linux partition' (ext2/3/4).
- Copy initrd.gz, vmlinuz and the .sfs files from the iso into the folder
- Add an entry for Puppy to your current bootloader. If you need examples for this, let us know what bootloader you use.
devx sfs is in ibiblio or you can find a link in the release notes or on the first page of the forum thread for the Puppy version you use.
Make a pupsave (a folder on a linux partition or a file on vfat or ntfs) on first shutdown to save the sessions.
Use SFS_load to load devx sfs (or any other sfs). It will be loaded automatically on next startups.
When you use run-woof from Arch, you will not need devx, it should use the compilers in Arch (I think).

What is your github username (url please)?mistfire wrote:Hello I made some not so massive changes to the rootfs skeleton of woof-ce. This will improve the puppy a lot especially the package management and portability
Find me on [url=https://www.minds.com/ns_tidder]minds[/url] and on [url=https://www.pearltrees.com/s243a/puppy-linux/id12399810]pearltrees[/url].
I have been wondering the sudden flurry of activities in github. I kind of guess it's you (since you said two posts above that you were going to push some changes), but it's good to have the confirmation. Way to go, mistfiremistfire wrote:@s243a rizalmart on github

Some distros using Woof-CE use a k3.18.xxx version. Sailor Enceladus' Slacko5.7-WoofCE comes to mind first. That kernel branch has now gone UNSUPPORTED recently (I think in the last 2 weeks). As an info update here, kernel 3.16.70 (dated July 9 )is still available for 3-series needs.

I tried building a vanilla slacko 5.8.10 woof-CE iso today and uploaded it here:
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/p7599c75b8l19/5.8CE
It's missing a few icons, a few things don't work (like x-virtual keyboard), and doesn't include a browser by default, but might be useful or interesting to someone. It's been working well enough for me for an hour or so.

I have wondered about something with using Woof-CE to build a Puppy version.
I always see a new Puppy version released that seems to have some programs that do not work, bugs in basic core programs and processes, missing needed stuff, etc.............
So, Woof-CE will never build a completely working Puppy version?
Or is it the builder of the Puppy version is just leaving stuff out of the build?
Oh, he/she/they forgot to put that in it?
I wonder if a lot of these fixes actually get into Woof-CE repositories?
Sure seem to be fixing the same problems, over and over again, in each new Puppy version release.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

HI bigpup.
If you noticed anything important missing in Sailor Enceladus' Slacko Pup,
tell Sailor Enceladus?!
I'm downloading it now to forge an opinion myself.
But off-hand, if it's just some icons missing, I'd say it's because:
Is it really needed by a regular user?
BFN.

But off-hand, if it's just some icons missing, I'd say it's because:
- they take a lot of space in an ISO;
users have their own desktop icon preferences;
and a number of desktop icon sets are readily available on this board.
(Will be back with URL later).
Is it really needed by a regular user?

Hi.
I just installed SE's Slacko-5.8.10 frugally. I took a ride with it, clicking
on all desktop icons.
Everything works. Abiword, geany, setup, e-mailer, etc.
Except no browser, the user has to get one.
The user has a choice of desktop icons (please see att'd pic).
As you can see, the desktop is normally populated.
If the user follows instructions correctly, a pupsave is created
as it should upon 1st shutdown.
Maybe Sailor should mention some download sites for a browser,
because a real newbie won't know off-hand where to find one.
Or maybe provide a light browser like dillo or links with those URLs
already in a download list, to male things easier for said newbie.
But aside from that, I can't find anything missing or wrong with Sailor's
(re)build of this slacko.
I'd say that this pup is Ideal for an older tower or desktop computer.
Good work, SE!
BFN.
