It automatically starts up the desktop with 800x600 screen size, Universal timezone, us-English keyboards.
You can change the first setup with one window.
The network connection is also automatic in case an eth0 interface is found and DHCP is available(net-setup update required).

Quick setup Puppy is easy to make up based on any Puppy v4.x(do not apply on Puppy-5.x).
Download quicksetup-1.1-p4-xvesa.pet (UPDATE: 1 Dec 2010)from here.
Follow the document.

This technique can not apply to most of Puppy-5.x which do not have Xvesa.
To get direct desktop with Xorg version 1.7, refer Lucid Puppy Quickset edition(LupQ). You need to modify /usr/bin/xwin. See the post:

Optional add-ons (all available from the same download link above)

shinobar, I thank you and your Puppy Linux Japanese Team very much for your work here with Quickset.

I look forward to giving you feedback on this very interesting offering - automatic eth0 connection is just what I was after, and in your Quickset liveCD version a very welcome approach to non-wireless mobile computing. This is very much appreciated.

I agree with big_bass. Thank you for this and also frugalinstaller, pupsaveconfig and Grub4dosconfig. They are all very useful and needed apps IMO.
I also just tried the pup431JPqs0 and found it shows off these apps really well.
I hope more people here see your good work.

Thanks again
Dave

OK.. update:

I have installed your utf-8 package, with my added symlinks and remastered.
I booted the new version, and firstrun loads, so I set the locale to en_GB at first boot.

Firstrun detects the change and applies it successfully
I then run 'locale' in the terminal and get en_GB..

So it works on first boot (even when I switch to Xorg )
However, it is not perfect yet.

1. The change of locale is not shown next time I run firstrun.
Also it will not detect or apply any more changes I make to the locale.
Example:

- It always shows en_US, every time.
- If I change only the locale, I get 'Nothing is changed'.
- If I change locale and keyboard, I get only 'Changes completed: (Keyboard)'

2. If I do not change from Xvesa to Xorg (or vice versa), the colour-depth will not change.
Example: I cannot change from Xvesa 16bit to Xvesa 24bit.

3. The old chooselocale tool still messes things up (locale command returns '**: not found').

4. Pmount works fine before I use firstrun. It works after firstrun, but only when I type 'pmount' into rxvt or sakura.

After firstrun, when I run pmount from jwm menu(s) it does not work.
I even tried it when the jwm menu entry is 'rxvt -e pmount' - didn't work.

(NOTE: pmount fails through jwm menus, even when 'locale' returns 'en_US', but only after firstrun.. I'm using your jwm i18n)
