alphaOS is simple and minimalistic Linux distribution based on Puppy Linux, built from Arch Linux packages and uses pacman as the default package manager. Unlike official Puppy systems, it has openbox window manager combined with dynamic menu update and support for loading up to 20 additional sfs modules.

How can you call that "from scratch" when you use ages-old code from Puppy?

I get curious on if it make you automatically booted as root what password does root have? Can you place the files on NTFS and then boot without needing any linux partition made like ext3 or ext4 what is the menu.lst for grub4dos used for your Lightnix 001 title Lightnix 001 Linux kernel (hd0,0)/Lightnix001/vmlinuz PMEDIA=atahd PDEV1=sda1 psubdir=Lightnix001 pfix=fsck initrd (hd0,0)/Lightnix001/initrd.gz or what do you use? _________________ I use Google Search on Puppy Forum not an ideal solution though |

pfix=ram,fsck would that mean you have a lightnix save file and that you don't load it but still check the integrity of it? Regardless I will test the OS when you have xorg and firefox or chrome going. You did not answer if it boots with root=root password=lightnix automatically or if it boot into user=user password=user or user=live password=live _________________ I use Google Search on Puppy Forum not an ideal solution though |

It boots without any password to tty1 as user root. But if change to tty2 you need to type password, which by default is toor, just like in archpup because they are built with same rootfs. And, thanks for your interest

Name is changed to Lightning OS, needs more work but currently system is functioning OK, meaning that xorg with 3D support (tested with game assault cub), sound and internet all work. Here is DISTRO_SPECS:

Yes, you are right it is opensuse based distro with gnome 3. So name is changed to .. .. Alpha OS! What do you think? First post updated with more detailed explanations. |

I have one problem with mount command and different behavior in AlphaOS compared to Archpup. Problem is with partition /dev/sda5, formatted as NTFS. With command:
mount command is provided by package util-linux plus ntfs-3g and fuse are installed for supporting ntfs filesystem in both OS'. Only way to get write access to ntfs partition in AlphaOS is mounting with command ntfs-3g. ... and I don't want that because it breaks earlier scripts that use just mount command for everything. Edit: Never mind, I've adjusted scripts to check fstype before mounting... |

makepfile.sh, save file creator script from Archpup, made by me and much improved by mavrothal (in his pre theoretical phase) is improved so it will read variables from /etc/distro_specs. It's now usable in any Puppy linux, on the other hand does anyone really care... Beta version of alphaOS  will be available today!
Warning: It's not for the beginners! |

I hope it will boot up frugally on NTFS unless it is impossible or very difficult to provide that feature. Archpup does so would it be possible to borrow how they do it? Just a friendly suggestion. _________________ I use Google Search on Puppy Forum not an ideal solution though |

Iso is uploaded, check first post for the link.
Thanks for your suggestion. I didn't test it but frugal installation on NTFS should work. |
