This would, could and possibly should be another point of discussion, since I did not meant poor people staying hungry in poor countries; I meant the fat German beer drinking soccer and car-racing fans, that would do each illegal (because of not paying taxes, which we do call "Schwarzarbeit") Job to get some money that weren't really needed. You'll find them in each and every more or less rich country. But again: please, do not start and/or continue any off topic discussion here.starhawk wrote:just objecting to an incorrect assumption

...puh, this is really a huge post (the first one of yours), and I don't know if I really do come through all of it - will try later, though.
Ok, I see now.mavrothal wrote:They do not download to RAM or a destination that you define. So you can not use/test them on first boot.
This is a good point, I did not thought about. My focus was on installing after downloading and getting the SFS Modules directly downloaded to install/boot directory.
Possibly a good option/feature to be added in my next edit of the SFS P.L.U.S.
Will mark this...
I'm not talking for a none-use of a save layer in general.BTW why would you use a layered file system for LazY if you do not want a save/working layer?
My point is to make Puppy extremely user friendly especially for Puppy Newcomers - which still I am. Just installing the OS and go - using the applications without any hassle...
A Newcomer in between would become familiar with the Puppy, in an easier way (imho) and this would prevent the Newcomer from leaving Puppy too quickly, because of all the known Puppy Linux issues.
I have read about LightHouse64 "Mariner" version, but I don't own a 64bit computer and so, I could not check it out.gcmartin wrote:How many of this thread have seen @TaZoC's Puppy's LightHouse64 "Mariner" version?
If you haven't seen it and you have a 64bit capable PC, you may want to take a moment;
Pity, if so, as it seems to have done/executed nothing to the evolution of Puppy Linux.If so, @TaZoC's distro implementation, an over 2 year old implementation I might add, may have gone in a direction which is being discussed in this thread.
For what a Judge would be needed in this here case?You be the Judge.
Are we executing any sort of OS-Race?
NO! This is not about my ... OS and/or to promote my ... OS!
simargl5 wrote:Well, your suggestion about using modules is similar to how Slax works, it can load unlimited number of modules - they are called bundles, but actually they are same as sfs modules- and every program or library is provided only as sb bundle, so there is no installing packages in standard way, only activating and deactivating of bundles. Also, dependencies are resolved automatically.
Why doesn't all this obviously good stuff/ideas have found its way into Puppy Linux and/or any Puppy Linux Derivative?mikeb wrote:...inspired by SLAX 6
It could have me one saving a huge amount of time and therefor turning me one into a lucky owner of an Puppy Linux Operating System way much faster...
Exactly!Customise each machine easily.... just throw in whats needed for each situation.
