Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

[cecc]

First I'd like to thank Barry Kauler for his great distro, then I want to thank sccat and nyu, they have made the earlier Chinese Puppies and localization packages, my work is based on their work.

I have made some changes to the old Chinese Puppy 217 and built an updated one called E-PUP Linux 217. Both the old Chinese Puppy 217 and the E-PUP Linux 217's menu files and system interfaces scripts are translated by myself, there are some instructions in the files which I modified and translated. And I added some Chinese translation mo files to E-PUP Linux 217 from other Linux distros to make some softwares like gftp support Chinese, also many thanks to these translators.

There is an introduction of E-PUP Linux 217 in E-PUP Linux Project's main site:

基于Puppy Linux 217的E-PUP Linux 217 简体中文改进版

There is a thread in Chinese E-PUP Linux forum discussing this topic:

Also I have made a nice Chinese NOP 217 based on E-PUP Linux 217, here is the link:

Chinese NOP 217

The main changes are here:

Using firefox 1.5.0.12 instead of firefox 2.0.0.7,

Using mplayer with browser plugins instead of gxine,

Using leafpad as the default text editor instead of geany,

Cutting down the size of Chinese Puppy from 126MB to 112MB.

Also with many old bugs fixed.

So generally speaking, it would be much better than the former Chinese Puppy 217.





Anyone using Simplified Chinese may download it from here:

E-PUP Linux 217.ISO

Hope you enjoy it!

You can also replace some original applications in E-PUP Linux with thunderbird email client and sunbird calendar to attain the same functions.



Good Luck!

Lobster:

Thank you for your suggestions. I'll test the beta II of Firefox 3. Also I'm working on the next version of E-PUP Linux which has a lot of new improvements.

[sccat]

Good job.

Thank you.

sccat :

Thank you for your compliment.

Just downloaded and using it. Everything works great except that when trying to connect msn through gaim, it shows up an error saying msn need ssl support and ask me to look http://gaim.sf.net/faq-ssl.php for more information. That web seems to be down, any ideas how to fix it?

gaim changed name to Pidgin, and their URLs should redirect but seem rather slow today.

Thank you!

I am hoping for an update about a new E-Pup based on 3.01 or 4. Any word?

[Archie]

I am also curious to know when and whether there'll be a new E-Pup based on either 3.01 or 4.0?

While we are waiting for an update does anyone have a reliable iso from either of the two 2 series E-Pups mentioned at the start of this post?
I could only find one on puppylinux asia and the md5 checksum is always wrong!
The links at the beginning of this post do not work.
Perhaps someone with a working copy can do something to help out here.
I need a copy of chinese puppy for a friend and its sad when we cannot find a reliable download anywhere.

" does anyone have a reliable iso from either of the two 2 series E-Pups "

E-PUP Linux 217.ISO

puppy-213-zh_CN.iso

puppy-217-zh_CN.iso

on my hard drive.

I could send you a DVD of ISOs if you are in Australia...only.

PM me if you wish.
