Some of Ttuuxxxs' recent experiments seem a bit short in the

module department......only about a dozen listed in boot

manager of 220, compared to about a hundred in a regular

pup.
I've been thinking about it, It might be related to some of the missing bin files, when I swapped X-servers there were at least 10 missing bin files, In /usr/X11R7/bin, which the next release already has, and also 2.20 would have that same issue, that I'll have to fix for 2.20alpha2 :)

Well I started putting it together and then noticed the new bugs on the main 4.30 bug section about the remaster and frugal scripts, hmmm it would be nice to have them fixed before, but I'll think about it.
I would say If I overlook those 2 bugs maybe in about 2hrs or so it should be uploaded.

Now I would not normally post this but the pup-430 pup_430 thing might be a little brain fade on the part of our illustrious leader. Surely, up to now, the convention has always been pup(underscore)***.sfs? :) :)

Well he was naming the iso's like pup-424.iso etc and then the pup_424.sfs in the iso, I wonder if its the woof build script, or just a typo.
I'm wondering If I rename the pup-430.sfs to pup_430.sfs like it should be, would it still boot? And if so would that put a end to all the issues?

I did search the initrd.gz and bootmanager script for _pup -pup and only found 1 in the bootmanager _pup so I'm thinking its ok.

Nice changelog :)

Ttuuxxx;

I like the personal toolbar in your seamonkey 1.1.15 v-1 best,
so I replaced the 1.1.18 in my 430 install with that one.

Works fine....mostly.

I'm wondering if the zd1211rw problem with older pups may
be a usb issue.

Has a bit of history that driver http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw
remind me when I get back to 2.20 about this driver and I'll recompile it and see if that helps.

Hi Jeff,

Here's a mirror

I didn't see an md5sum so I made one. Please check it here

Let me know when you do updates so I don't miss them.

DaveS;

With my full installs any file I delete is really gone; with a frugal it
would take a remaster to do this.

I have 412 with 1.1.15 on sda1, 430 on sda2.

1. In 430 I use pfind to find the seamonkey files. Drag them all to
trash and delete them.

2. I have the 1.1.15 v-1 pet on usb, click it and it installs.
( I could also get the individual files from sda 1 or my cd of
Ttuuxxxs' 4.2 no-bling )

3. I click sda1, go to /mnt/sda1/root/.mozilla/default/(all),
drag n44rjsz7.slt to /root/.mozilla/default/(all) in 430....copy.
(this copies my mail and other seamonkey settings).

It's a bit tedious, but not nearly as much as the time I
individually deleted the extra 800 plus printer drivers
I didn't need. :)

Edit:

This also works on usb flash install.

concerning the ati pet:
you could extract it somewhere (tar -xzvf the.pet).
It has a file usr/local/graficsdrivers/atilatest.tgz.
Extract it: tar -xzvf atilatest.tgz

This will create folders /etc /lib /usr.

Now use the official installer from ati, to install drivers, that match the older xserver from ttuuxx.
Then replace the extracted files from the pet with the freshly installed files from the official installer, and repackage everything.
Now you should have a pet, that matches "puppies 4.31".

If also the location of files changed, you might have to edit the path settings in usr/sbin/xorgwizard.

Older xservers in Puppy had everything in /usr/X11R7/bin/.
In Puppy 4.3, some files like "X" went to /usr/bin/ instead.

Ah, ok thanks. Seems like you are replacing 1.1.18 with Ttuuxxx's ultra quick 1.1.15

Bug in 431 + fix

#92 Post by dio444 »

There is a bug that causes the script to fail, and hence the entire You2Pup system to fail if a local filename with spaces in it is chosen. The fix is easy, simply add "" to a few arguments. Here's a copy of the "fixed" file.

@MU:

- Does your ATI Catalyst 9.9 .PET (for *new* ATI cards) work in Puppies-4.3.1.1 ?

- What package should I install to enable DRI / 3D acceleration for R200 cards in this puplet?

No. As far as I understood former messages, ttuuxx replaced xserver 1.5.2 with an older version.
My pets just include the files for the xserver, that they were created on. This is one reason, why they are much smaller than the original Ati installers, that include the files for several different xservers.
So to create a pet for this puplet here, you had to modify my pet as I had described in my former message.

Is it possible to just use the installer from the ATI site (without using your .PET package) ?
(All I need is the DEVX .SFS and the kernel sources for compiling)

Do I need a different .DEVX SFS?
Do I need to install an old Xorg / Mesa package before installing the ATI driver?

And what to do if I have an old R200 card?
fglrx or Catalyst drivers don't work with the newest kernel,so I must use the open-source drivers. Is there an R200 DRI + OpenGL package for this puplet with really old X.Org?
