(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

is there a puppy derivative that includes java & flash preinstalled?

Ecoppup?

Chris

The small-ish way of doing this is to get safepup (it has Flash pre-installed, see http://minipc.org/safepup ) then add Java to it (safepup will have to be installed to hard disk as Java is large).

just to be clear... when i say java, i mean jre. and when i say "installed", i mean configured to work with browser.

Yes, ecopup could be it, although you have to check if it is really there: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=19401

Puppy is generally built to be small, and it would easily be big if JRE is included, so what you asked for,

java .. preinstalled

is generally rare.

Hi

For installing JRE, try following this topic link.

It's pretty straightforward (even I got there eventually).

descoffey, actually i tried that, see my question at the end of that post. i could not get it to fully unpack.

I have found this to work when nothing else worked. It is a script that downloads and installs jre. The version it installs is 1.5.06 (or version of similar numbers. It has worked in puppy versions 2.13, 2.14 and 2.17..thats all I have tried it on.

Look for this line
" Note: To install the JRE try this .pup "
under:
" How To Install Java In Puppy "

You first will download a small file which will eventually download a file that expands to 104MB. I downloaded the large java file to my flash drive to a directory I called java and I can run java from there.
The computer I have run it on had 192mb and now has 256mb memory 700mhz Celeron with a 1gb flash. My other laptop has over 700mb memory 1.5ghz Pentium M

Lighthouse Puppy beta5 comes with Flash9. Adding the Mariner SFS Software Expansion Pack adds Java 1.5.

i could not get it to fully unpack.

Unpacking files could involve /tmp which is in RAM, so if your RAM fills up, it will produce an error. Having swap partition will help in that case.

I'm trying to build one right now, on puppy 3.0. I've made a custom theme, installed icewm, flash, firefox, now i'm working on java, plus other multimedia applications, i'll check back in a day or 2 and tell you how i went. I'll include a screen shot, i used PimpZilla as my firefox theme,

Installed: Firefox, flash, java, plus thunderbird, sunbird and lightning so you can get your mail and your calendar in one app. plus icewm, and 19 themes, a few new games in the firefox tool menu, xmms with a sony skin, Limewire, shutterbug, Gimpshop, Yahoo messenger, aMSN messenger,etc a lot was added and no scripts removed.

I made it to replace 2.15ce , its up to you
