Thanks sidders for updating :)

I have an old box just right for this (431 runs very well on it) and my grand kids will love it!

Cheers

Yay! This is really welcome news sidders - thanks a-plenty!

Can somebody please mirror this puplet in one of the community repositories? I think that HSB (as did ol' EduPup) has an important role in spreading and confirming the word on the value for recycling "obsolete" computers for educational settings (see here for the appalling Australian situation: Landfills 'busting at seams' with e-waste - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010 ... 919217.htm).

I'm downloading as I write - I'd love to try out OOo4Kids v0.9 en-us (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=54063 and http://wiki.ooo4kids.org/index.php/Main_Page) on it - does anybody already have experience using that 89 mb OpenOffice spin-off suite?

sidders - a newbie question - will the 412 SFS's you compiled for DosBox (Fatty's Birthday Surprise, AJ's Learning World from memory), KDEtoys etc. be compatibleish with your new HSB?


Congratulations and Thanks for your latest creation,
Puppyt

#6 Post by myman_05 »

Hi Sidders. Glad to see new update for the great pupplet.

Just want a confirmation. I've download two times the iso but the md5 number is different then but same for both download.

Broken in upload or my download?

Having trouble with ktuberling on the kde sfs, it wont allow an executable in /usr/games.

Going to create a new Cups and Wine sfs for 431.

HanSamben

#11 Post by Peter444 »

Hi Sidders, excellent work with your latest HanSamBen

Currently running successfully as a live CD

Two questions

a) The splash screen says 421 not 431 or did I download the wrong version?

b) When trying to use in Virtualbox 3.2.4 loading stalls see attached jpeg
this is the first puppylinux I have not been able to use with Virtualbox by selecting xversa


So rolled back Virtualbox to version 2.1.4 but still no joy, other puppys load ok 4.3.1 and U476 etc but not the one my grandaughter loves HanSamBen

Anyone else having problems with HanSamBen 431 and Virtualbox?

Thanks again for a great puppy

XPSP2 host system

Update 10 July, after downloading the latest Virtualbox 3.2.6 and still no joy I decided to try specifying linux kernel 2.4 instead of 2.6 in the virtualbox settings

For whatever the reason this fixed the problem and I am typing this edit from HanSamben 431 in Virtualbox

Hope this helps others with Virtualbox and Puppylinux

Hi Pete.
The splash screen is an oversight. I will put it on the list, i needs to be changed.
I havnt tried them with virtualbox. I need to have a look at this also. i'll give it a whirl at the weekend.

Been a bit busy with paid stuff at the mo (it comes in waves) and have been drunk on disappointment with England s performance in the world cup.

Great idea! I'm very interesting Kids Linux distro, but downloading from filefront is like to be an hour of horror.

You would be so kind reupload files on more reliable file server, for example netload.in, megaupload.com, ...?
It will be much simpler for many puppy-lovers, if you write here MD5 hashes.

Thx in advance

The kids summer camp I had been volunteer teaching at had one of their computers that just sat there...I hacked away at it and win 2000 had something or other wrong with it/corrupt, whatever...anyway, I asked the owner, she said go for it, so I repaired and added to it...

The OS of choice was this version of Puppy...full install, using dejan555's sfs installer for full installs and it rocks, looks great, etc.

Very well done, sidders. This has some great games, it will work wonderfully for that camp, and now they have another computer they can use. Nicely done! 8)

Hi,

HanSamBen 431 full install with Etoys & Childsplay loaded (using the links from sidders first post above).

On each pc re-boot an extra icon for Etoys & Childsplay is created on the desktop (the icons are created on top of one another).

I have installed HanSamBen on two pc's, both have this problem; otherwise runs great.

At a guess this icon creation is in a start-up script somewhere, anyone know what I need to change?

Uploading Hanssamben to Megaupload.com. I will post the alternative links on the fist post.
I am uploading the 412 series aswell, as they were removed by file front.
