Puppy 4.21 Barebones |
|
Puppy 4.21 Barebones is a stripped down 4.21. It is build with unleashed. It gives you a running base-system (incl. Xorg/xvesa + alsa) but not more. It is just a base to build puplets on.
Due to the barebones-build, many actions will not work (because of the missing apps).
Download: http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/aragon/421bb/
Size: ~ 52 mb
Attached is a file with all included packages.
I tested it on 3 systems (1 desktop, 2 laptops) and it seems to run stable. Both wireless and wired network are working.
Note: Start with pfix=ram to not pick-up an existing save-file.

Excellent Aragon
Many will be happy.
Am I right it comes with no browser?
You could connect and then use the package manager to add a browser.
m m m this plus Puppy Browser would need extra libraries - but the big dog browsers would work.
This would seem the ideal for a 64 MB system.
Be very interesting how this is used

hi lobster, you're right no browser.
and package-manager is working.
if it's ok for an 64 mb system... well you need to test.
good luck

hi lobster,
you might want to test the attached dillo.
known issues:
- ssl enabled, but does not work on the pages i've tested.
- download-plugin uses the php-link as filename e.g. in this forum. you need to type the correct name by hand.
the dillo is statically build with fltk in 4.21.

Word processors won't run |
|
Aragon.
I'm building a personal Puppy on 4.2.1, mainly for imaging - it's on an elderly Dell laptop - I've installed Firefox 2.0.0.7 from the official pet list and Ttuuxx's Gimp 2.4, both run OK and I've set up desktop icons for them, BUT I can't get a word processor working. I've tried the official pet of Abiword, the Abiword 2.7 pet from the forum and even Open Office from the Puppy 3 pets. They install, ( as far as I can see from the file system ), but although the permissions are set to ' execute ' they won't run, from the menu entry or going into the file system. I'd be inclined to suspect that something was missing, but FF and Gimp run OK. Any thoughts?

Retro Version |
|
Would it be possible to create a 4.21 Retro version? Several of the computers I use require that.
Thanks

A quick check shows that ch-OpenOffice-3.0.sfs loaded at boot with System->Bootmanager works. Unfortunately ch-abi2.6.4 is missing some dependencies.

@technowomble
run abiword from a terminal-window, this will give you missing dependencies, but only one at a time.
better to run the following commands from a terminal window.
will give you the full path
Code: | ldd [abiword with path] | grep not |
will give you a list of all missing libs.
if you post the output, we could assist you.

[Solved] See below.
Hey Aragon, this is agreat concept. All going ok so far with Firefox 352 +Flash and simplemail, but unable to make printing work. I have installed CUPS 1.4b2 patched and Gutenprint driver pack but get this error when I try to print a test page
Code: | Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-banner'! |
Can you or somebody point me in the direction of the solution please?

@ aragorn
I've done a clean install and installed the abiword-2.6.3-complete-pup421 from Package manager. The installation report and the code you suggested report the same missing dependencies:-
libgnomeprint-2-2.so.0
libgnomeprintui-2-2.so.0
libgoffice-0.6.so.6
libwv-1.2.so.3
libAiksaurusGTK-1.2.so.0
libAiksaurus-1.2.so.0
I think the first 3 relate to goffice, and the last 2 to a thesaurus?

Question?
This is more related to how it was built rather then the final product:
i myself have been starting on the track to making my next pupplet through puppy unleashed. although i have obtained the unleashed 4.2.1 tarball i cannot even extract it without significant errors. i used the terminal command tar -zxf as suggested on the unleashed page at puppylinux.com but as i said it had a fair amount of errors. so i attempted to use my windows install to extract it with winrar and it had problems with replacing files of the same name but i have reason to believe that is because windows has problems with file names that are the same but different CASING but the unleashed extract was larger then the one i untar'd in puppy.\
sorry to be off the topic a fair amount but it would be incredibly helpful at this time and well i would owe you one lol!
but either way thanks for the barebones, but one more question is it SMP enabled?
