This is curious.
I was asked 3 times for password when creating pupsave file.

thanks for NOP 3.01!

I had trouble downloading from tuxfamily, then from MiniPC.org. But I made a metalink with those two and the puppylinux.ca mirror and got the file fine in half an hour. (looks like most of it came for puppylinux.ca, thanks caneri)

I've updated the NOP page on the wiki with those download mirrors and a metalink.
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PuppyNOP

When I get a CDR and have burned it, taken some screenshots etc, I might upload torrent for NOP at linuxtracker.org. But others would need to help seed it because my upload connection sucks.

PS, if you get the metalink, but it says "puppy-301-NOP.iso.xml", just change that ".xml" to ".metalink" and it works fine.

Great job!! I love the xfce interface. It took a little playing around to get the icons to work for me. I had the standard puppy 3.01 installed before.

JB4x4's post was very helpful:

Have updated the wiki page re rev1:

Puppy NOP

If anyone mirrors rev1, could they post here, so I/someone can update the download section & add mirrors to metamirrors.nl?

Lobster ...

Do you have a rev1 upgraded version of shard ?

I am thinking of giving it a go Smile

Cheers

No John,
No rev1

I did try creating a Shard with NOP 3.01r1 + Compiz FIz but failed and ran out of time . . .

Shard is based on NOP 3.01 (strangely it says Puppy 3.00 in both NOP and Shard when you boot up . . . )

Some things to note (applies to NOP and Shard)

Geany and BurnIso2CD are available from command line but not the menu (this may apply to other programs . . .)

You have your beloved Opera of course Smile

Shard is no big deal. Use NOP 3.1r1
add any of the sfs here
http://www.puppylinux.ca/lobster/
set this as your homepage

apart from cosmetics, you more or less have Shard . . .

hi,
I upgrade to 3.01 from 2.17 but I have problems with fonts in Opera browser.
In NOP 2.17 evrythings was fine- fonts ware good size and all www pages look good.
But in NOP 301 and opera 9.24 I have to big fonts and www pages looks bad.

I was trying change fonts in opera:config but it wasn't help.
So I change global font size in puppy but it wasn't help :/

How I can set this same fonts and size like in nop 2.17?

I visited http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PuppyNOP

Questions, please?

1. Did you choose 3.01 as a base because 4.xx is not yet available?
(I ask because 4.xx appears to be pre-stripped.)

2. Will OO Internet Suite import the Seamonkey settings or do they
have to be reset?

3. Will the OO Internet Suite import the Seamonkey Address Book and
Bookmarks and Inbox Folders & Files?

4. Could a USB stick be installed as a HDD-substitute in a laptop
without a HDD and run NOP?

5. Is USB 1.1 OK or is 2.0 highly recommended?

6. Is a 1G USB stick OK or is a larger one preferred?

7. How much RAM is recommended?

I must say that NOP is excellent. At first blush, this may be my favorite Puppy/Puplet yet! With just a little bit of customization I have a very functional and awesome-looking Puppy. So far everything works perfectly on my laptop. Great Job, Gray!

I'm downloading NOP and will take it for a spin.
Q. I have an nVidia GeForce4 MX440 vidcard.
How do I find out which driver package to use?
Is there a description somewhere that tells you
what's what?
TIA
