AtomicPup2020 Released

[8Geee]

Have the ISO file downloaded to a place not part of where its going.
Make sure the computer is off
You need a CD/DVD burner and a Blank CD
You need a USB stick ready to use (Blank)

IF YOU HAVE NO OPERATING SYSTEM INSTALLED, YOU HAVE TO PUT ONE IN, THE COMPUTER MUST BOOT TO AN OPERATING SYSTEM. THAT OPERATING SYSTEM HAS TO ALLOW YOU TO BURN AN ISO FILE TO A CD.

When you start the computer, you can connect the CD burner, you will have to burn the ISO file to a CD, so put a blank CD in the burner, AND BURN THE ISO TO THE CD.
After the CD is burned, the disc can be removed and the SD burner disconnected for now.

Thats step 1 of several needed. If you get this far, we can continue.

Once the CD is burned, you can shut off the computer again after removed disc and disconnect burner. Wait about 2 minutes before proceeding.

During this time put disc into CD burner and connect burner to computer.
Then press power button.

On most netbooks, you have to go into BIOS to tell the computer to boot from the CD first.
Usually as soon as power button is pressed, about 2-3 seconds later you must repeatedly press the f2 key to get into BIOS, some models need f1 if f2 does not work.

When the BIOS screen comes up, you CANNOT use the mouse, just the arrow keys to bottom-right of most keyboards. Generally, there is a tab for booting the computer.

One option is boot order.Press ENTER to select. Use the arrow keys to highlight the CD, and press ENTER. Then press the ESCape key, and accept changes.

Hopefully, the burnned CD will boot.

***Jan.08,2020 UPDATE ***

AtomicPup2020 is an update to version 18 and XIX based upon 01micko's
original Slacko5.7-i686-4G-noPAE (32bit) puppy. Sailor Enceladus has provided
an update to 01micko's original using a supported kernel (3.18.106). For those
people that DO NOT have an Atom CPU, this new update is urged, as it has on-
going patches to the Meltdown/Spectre problems. Slacko5.7.1-woofCE
by sailor enceladus can be found here. I will no longer maintain my
updated original version, as it is vunerable to the Meltdown/Spectre syndrome.
This decision is in the best interest of all.

================================================================================

It is intended that AtomicPup2020 be installed to a USB Flash drive. The included
Gparted will make the 768Mb partition as ext3, and set the 'boot' flag. Do this
when still on 1st CD start. Then install, and do a shutdown. Set the save-file
as ext3, and 256Mb. Note: security must be set as none or normal.

AtomicPup2020 will be my sole spin, naming will avoid confusion. It is a contin-
uation of 'EONS' with security patches supplied by Slackware. WGET is at version 1.19.5.

AtomicPup2020 has the following elements

CPU: Intel Atom before 2013 (N2600/N2800 is last CPU)
kernel: 3.4.82 (out of support)
*** new *** wget 1.19.5
bash 4.1.017 (from Slackware 13.37, same source as original slacko5.7)
*** new *** OpenSSL 1.0.2p (from Slackware 14.2, updates MUST occur at slackware.com)
with thanks to HoerMirAuf for the upgrade pet.

browser FireFox27.0.1 (FF27) configured for security and privacy
Addons: AdBlock Edge, Searchonymous, Redirect Cleaner, Better Privacy, Youtube
All HTML5, Download YouTube as MP4, and FireFTP 2.0.19 (this one is optional).
Security: TLS1.2 with forward secrecy is the only permitted type.
I do not expect TLS1.3 for Older FireFoxes (TLS1.3 support begins at FF49).
*** new *** Javascript: enabled, but does not cache data.
For a longer list of changes type about:support in the browser address bar.

The Office is SoftMaker-FreeOffice version 6.97 (before WIN10). It has been
trimmed to one language (enUS) and is quite small. WordProcessor, SpreadSheet,
and Slide-Presentation are included. This is the only way I can distribute
without a key. The enUS Manual in pdf is a separate download. You may remove the
Office if not needed. Open /opt and delete all files within, then open /root
(show hidden files) removing .softmaker, and remove the two desktop icons. Done.

avidemeux 2.5.5s video editor included
fonts are Liberation Sans/Serif/Mono, Overpass, and Digital-7 (UTF-8 encoding)
*** new is monaco.ttf that is default leafpad and Geany font with thanks to musher0 ***
paint is mtpaint 3.44.48
python 2.6 and 2.7
video-drivers OTHER THAN i915 have been removed (i965 can be requested)
ALL shares and servers have been removed including SAMBA.
*** If you need shares/servers, use the new slacko5.7 by sailor enceladus above.

CUPS 1.4.8 using foomatic2xxx-2014.04.26 by rcrsn51 and thanks. This will allow
newer Laserjet Printers by HP to be used. His repo is broken/removed, so I
uploaded my copy of his foomatic (xqx and zjs included) to archive.org.

iso size is about 150Mb and minimum partition size is 768Mb using 256Mb save.
In general, one does not need a swap-file, but an eeePC 2G-surf might.

AtomicPup backgrounds are in /root/my-applications/MyFiles
Original SlackoPup5.7 backgrounds remain in their original locations.

So... one can surf the net and have some music/video with editing. You can
hazard on-line purchases and banking and passwords with good security.
Just a reminder to use encrypted wifi, this spin has the WPA2 supplicant
security patch (version 2.6 by Slackware) but the 'host side' is still a ?.

For those of you that are using AP-2020 and visit Youtube, the site no longer functions. There is no work-around extant forAP-2020. For a few months I have been personally using an updated version made by tuuxxx in an alpha form. This 'alpha' works nearly flawlwss, and is acceptable for usage in AtomicPup.

Therefore, I have released tuuxxx's alpha as AtomicPup-XX66.

For those of you not really needing Youtube, I wll also point out that the newer version of FireFox (66.0.5) supports TLS1.3 and has more options available in TLS1.2 format with forward secrecy. Open SSL has modernized to 1.1.1b and is stable as is. Nonetheless, AP-2020 is still quite useable for day-to-day internet usage.

One of the links provided in AtomicPup-2020 is a weather map of the US provided by the National Weather Service. A rather useful expediture of one's tax $$$.

However, very recently, it has stopped producing those precipitation overlays upon the map, regional and local.
The rest of the site works well clicking icon at upper right and entering zipcode.

To see the precipitation maps, GO HERE and zoom out to 500km/500mi. Then zoom in to your neck of the woods. The link works well, and allows a loop of the last hour or two. A heads-up on the weather.

Yesterday 06/24 Slackware updated Curl to version 7.71. This update is an easy one... no symlinks. You may delete the usr/DOC if you don't work with Curl alot. The new root/.package can be moved to the Builtin Folder, with deletion of the most recent 'old' version. (Keep the 7.6.1 version, as its the base for updates)

AtomicPup-2020 uses the 14.0 i486 version.
