Iguleder,
That idea of puppizard looks nice.
Would it generate the application inside the save file or is/will there be a possibility to create a sfs?

Good news, dejan555 - I was able to build a working barebones dpup at ~80 MB, no apps except JWM and ROX-Filer. The kernel is 2.6.32.42, since 2.6.32.43 failed to build on Lupu. I'm going to give it another try, but on dpup, because I like its GCC better :)

Now I'm running Puppizard to build all the latest Puppy apps, fonts and E17. I might upload it if it's any good.

It seems very very very snappy, Opera flies on my cheap netbook. Too bad I can't measure its RAM usage, I left Pprocess out :lol:

EDIT: forgot to mention - I stripped about ~10-15 MB of unneeded libraries and leftovers and had to fix X, because it couldn't start with a vanilla Woof.

EDIT 2: goot stuff! Built E17 and all its dependencies - now I'm doing a fixed build with things like git working (they were broken earlier), without any apps except E17, Opera and Aterm :D

That's cool Iguleder.
dpup's devx should be good, I managed to build kernel with your kernel build script on 485 and also compiled git.
I was wondering if you can still build from lenny repos with woof? A barebones lenny dpup would be cool, then I would update gtk and stuff I did for 485 and that would be good base for older PCs.

Theoretically it's possible, but the main problem is the old packages. Many package templates were altered to suit things like Xorg 7.5, so you'll have to go a very long way to sort out all problems the old packages being.

I'm uploading my barebones dpup at the moment, I think it's really nice.

dejan555, I'm uploading a huge bunch of dpup packages built on Squeeze to here. It's pretty much all the traditional Puppy desktop (plus the artwork and all nice stuff we had in Puppy Squeeze), with nice extras and lighter/smaller alternatives. They should work well with 485 too :)

Now I'm working on ffmpeg, I want to get ffmpeg, xine and gxine so I can upload something equivalent to Puppy Squeeze 010 :wink:

So far it's 100 MB with DRI, Opera and all these packages, but without the multimedia stack. All I need is to get those to work and I think it's ready to be tagged as dpup 5.0 beta :D

And btw - it consumes 47 MB when you first reach the desktop, according to LXTask ... go dpup! :D

Oh, forgot to mention - I want to rebuild the fonts SFS (the one with the 100 fonts) and the LibreOffice SFS. Can't do this at the moment, since my netbook is busy compiling both the kernel (2.6.32.43, vanilla) and ffmpeg at the same time :lol:

If I find time, I'll rebuild BlueZ, Linux-PAM, Lua and E17. :wink:

Sorry, but no. You should still be able to run it on 64-bit machine, but if you really want a 64-bit system take a look at fatdog 64, I believe that's the only 64-bit puppy at the moment.

So I can use the apt-get command in your distro?

Also, if I can use apt-get command in your distro, is there a way to get it to work in fat dog?

No, just because it's based on debian packages doesn't mean it has apt package manager. dpup uses standard puppy package manager, but it can pull dependencies from debian which doesn't always work quite right. There was experimental apt-get sfs for some older dpup but it was never fully tested. You can install debs in most recent puppies by just clicking on them so if you know how to download them with dependencies you can easily install them. Also, check out Iguleder's tool for downloading debs with dependencies, can't remember what it was called now?

Well, I need to be able to install the dependencies for compiling android and will also need to install java6 jdk as well. I'll need to get adb working. So I really need to get aptitude working :(

So wget will work? What command would I use as opposed to:

apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf

libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-

dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip

curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-

java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool

Hi Dejan555,

Well done with shaping Dpup485. It is running pretty well for me on an old Toshiba 2670DVD laptop, especially in live mode. (Lots of other puppies are not so good on this PIII 450Mhz oddball machine)

However after doing a frugal install I seem to have lost most of the desktop icons, as shown on the attached image.

Any suggestions gratefully received. Thx!
