Thanks! The first one definitely doesn't work on the Pentium because it was compiled with the later GlibC that has instructions the P166 doesn't understand, but I'll give the second one a try. Much obliged.

hi all

to continue the conversation about ttuuxxx's own puppy

its really all the work and creativity that ttuuxxx put into it
that made TOP such a masterpiece
that is why we are hoping he will continue his efforts

like i said on another thread
i have made many morphs of TOP
but i didnt have the expertise to to isolate everything
tinycore has worked these issues out
and this can be applied to TOP
so it can save ttuuxxx some work
and make TOP even better

its not disparaging woof-ce
just avoiding the bottlenecks

TOP forever
its history man

do you intend to continue 214 or a modification of 214 ?
do you intend to make a different system ?
do you intend to use woof-ce ?
are the tinycore ideas of any interest ?

I'm currently somewhat updating 2.14X and fixing a couple bugs.
I'm also working on another project, early stages for that one

Hi James, Nice to see you around still

Boy your quick on downloads

, Hope you weren't waiting for 4+yrs

I wanted to release this version before I go all crazy on 2.14X again.
Last time I updated GlibC, we had lots of things to fix.
Hope this time around it goes smoothly, I might have to add GTK3 to 2.14X again, due to Firefox using it, or I might go down the Seamonkey path, I do like the the Seamonkey layout better after a few tweaks.

Tested on Thinkpad T42 which normally runs 4.31 AnitaOS version and keyboard works correctly with this version of 214X keyboard mapping is screwed up pressing keys produces wrong results eg. o key will produce a 6 tried changing same result. Apart from that booted to desktop after setting with xorg wizard and sound worked. didn't try wireless.

I think that numlock is on by default, which is why you are getting numbers instead of letters for some keys.

Robert123 · #5100 Post by **Robert123** » Sat 03 Sep 2016, 10:00

thanks Keef will try that.

wanderer · #5101 Post by **wanderer** » Sat 03 Sep 2016, 16:50

Did a manual frugal install.... to an ext4 partition. Should have known better.
Tried again on a newly formatted small ext2 partition and all is well.

Code: Select all

title  214X 11
  find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /214X/initrd.gz
  kernel /214X/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0  psubdir=214X PMEDIA=idehd PDEV1=hda2
  initrd /214X/initrd.gz

Couldn't get wifi to work straight off (WPA2 problems), but installed pns_tools (the CLI network tool that 01Micko adapted from Porteus) and that worked.
Downloaded the devx pet and converted it to an SFS. Loaded and working after a reboot.

10 year old Compaq nc6120 laptop.
2ghz Pentium M
2gb RAM
64gb SSD (mSATA) in an IDE adapter.
Intel i915 graphics.

Hi Keef could you try this modified Pwireless , Clarf posted some updates on the Pwireless thread that wasn't updated on here. So I modified the script with them.
This was the modifications I made. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 784#562784

Also here 01Micko's pns_tool, I updated the missing .desktop icon. Could you try this one also and make sure it works, So I can added it to 2.14X

Thanks

Tttuuxxx

Rebooted with no savefile.
Pwireless still does not connect - I always thought it could not handle WPA/WPA2?

The new pns_tool pet works correctly.

I downloaded the latest JWM (from GiHub), just to see what happened. Found out you need to run

Code: Select all

autoreconf -vfi

first (rather than automake), and also
"--disable-rsvg" in the configure options for it to compile. Some of the menu icons don't appear though.

I've only noticed a few minor things so far. Some icons are missing from the Control Panel (and on the other tabs too).

excellent you found something that needs fixing, I'm working on the missing images on the control panel.

I don't really like the newer JWM, I hate that moving your mouse over and it switches screens thing, drives me nuts. Same with the drop down task-bar thing. I like a much simpler approach that takes less resources.
