How to make custom Puppy for school?
How to make custom Puppy for school?
I'm a teacher at a local college here in the Philippines offering IT courses I've (personally) already used some of the great distro available i really love suse, ubuntu and PCLinux though i already had my hand on Linux still I'm a newbie in the world of Open Source especially Linux
well my problem is i wanted to do a full Linux setup on all PC in our Lab but since we live in a third world country were still using old/Legacy PC with ram of not more than 256mb so i decided to do some personal evaluation of small footprint distro such as puppy, knoppix, DSL and Xubuntu due to system constraints i have, so far puppy killed all the competition!
1. ease of use
2. installation
3. networking (wired/wireless) and,
4. speed
what i needed for our own blend of puppy is support for the following;
1. OpenOffice/oxygenoffice
2. gambas / realbasic
3. LAMP
4. Firefox
5. blender
6. gimp
7. c++
8. pascal/freepascal
you see I've been in the forum/site/blog anything related to puppy Linux for 2 months now (its our vacation) reading and testing but still could not figure-out how in the world to do it! i could not even install gambas decently nor office application
i still have 2 more weeks before class starts and i really needed help on this. if anyone could just help me out I'm sure with proper guidance i can make thus i really need help badly
right now I'm evaluating 4.20

Welcome, badsaintz! You've come to the right place, I'm sure.
Have you seen this thread which describes a project which I think has some things in common with your own?
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=281402
Be sure to check out Puppy 4.2.1
<edit> I should have added: the new "Puppy's portal page" should give you an easy installation of the 'popular' applications you mention, and I think 'unofficial' .pet packages are available for the remainder. Use this search to get these:
http://wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html
Puppy has almost everything now - learning how to find it is the challenge! ;-)

Why don't you give every student a bootable USB with Puppy installed?
Then every student has his/her "own computer" at the USB!!
I have a USB-installation with all the programs i need; OpenOffice, Pidgin, Skype...
And when when i travell, I just put my USB in my pocket and so I have "my computer" with me! Just find a PC and i'm back in business.

@ thoase
i would love to see that one day but our student could hardly afford to continue college! luckily our school owner/founder is more than generous enough to offer the lowest Fees (province/state wide) to our student giving them a chance of life

Hi ya.
You can use this LAMP with 4.2.1:
http://minipc.org/lamp/
Use sfs by putting in in /mnt/home (the partition where your pup_save is) then reboot. Make sure its number is the same, like lamp_421.sfs.
Same with any OpenOffice_421.sfs (download the sfs then rename to your Puppy version). I suggest you use OpenOffice version 3.x.
For old PC,s I've packaged a lot of breeezy goodies (puppy 2.13). Get started with PXE-booting:
http://minipc.org/pxe/
This one is ready for eeePC 701-900.
I will upload other breeezy builds tomorrow.
Please check your PM.

freepascal compiler

2000-2008 Pentium IV 512Mb RAM Puppy 4 series.
2006-2008 Core 1Gb RAM Puppy 4 series.
2006-present Core 2* 1Gb RAM Puppy 4 series.
are the spec true?
if yes then i'm testing the wrong verion of puppy for my school!
what we have here are 256mb memory units and a couple of 1G!

that site does not say what the source of it's information is; it looks as though it's what the site owner believes and is not based on any recommendations that I have found, either by Barry Kauler or on this forum.
256MB of RAM should be sufficient for any of the current official released Puppy versions (although perhaps not for a very large "puplet"?)

good day to all!
we managed to install Puppy 4.2.0 k2.6.25.16-seamonkey on 20 PC!
we just have some minor problem (i think)
1. firefox seems to regularly shutdown (firefox-3.0.3.pet)
2. opera is a bit slow on a 256Ram PC (ch-opera-10.sfs)
3. i cannot install good office (i forgot the file)
4. i can install and use blender but the minute i install open oofice 2.2 the link to the menu doesnt seem to work anymroe (blender-py2.5-248_400.sfs + OO22-flash-java-pgs.sfs)
4.1 the latter office version also installs another copy of blender why is it? i think thats where the problem occurs! (even if i install blender first over openoffice2.2 or the other way around same result)
4.2 i managed to find the link of blender and i manually created a link unto my desktop so i can use it just to inform you guys.
5. openoffice3 (openoffice-3.0.0.sfs) is really slow on 256PC thus i opted to use 2.2 version
6. i installed devx_420.sfs but geany0.16 cannot seem to find the compiler for g++/c++.
7. geany0.16 doesnt show the compiled program either from JAVA/g++/c++/FreePAscal (im using geany0.16 coz its lightweight!)
any suggestion would surely do help!
help is really a grace from up above!
