(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I Want to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Tuxtoo for the work he did on keeping Puppy Linux 412 alive and hosting his site. I found him to be a very friendly guy and enthusiastic about what he was doing. So thank you Tuxtoo for your hard work and sweat.

Thank you Barry K and others for 412 and to all those who worked on 421.

Anyway I have started my own 412/421 Site with Conservative updates plus programs including many shared by Tuxtoo on his site so here it is, it also includes iso's he hosted there.

By the way many thanks to those who provided the many .pets hosted here and their time as well as Tuxtoo for his. This site is devoted to his work.http://sourceforge.net/projects/old412f ... rce=navbar

By the way has anybody got 421 Barebones ISO as this will be a 421 site as well. By the way this is quite separate entity from AnitaOS.

421 Barebones by Aragon??http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=43924

Hi Darkcity.

Uploaded to

https://mail.ziggo.nl/publications/info ... 56a90ecaca

Thank you very much Nancy.

They are now uploaded for all to enjoy.

P.S.

Have set up wiki at the site with links to .pets and ISO's.

Hello darry1966,
You may already know but just in case you don't Legacy OS 4 Mini is based on Puppy 4.2.1 so it is part of the Puppy 4 series family.

Yep I have tried it very good distro John. Added to site.

Thanks Darry. I will make my puplet, nicOS, based on Puppy 412 available someday when I have enough bandwiidth to upload. Puppy 412 is fantastic, still using it everyday.

Hi Nic007

Enjoy 412 is awesome.

I will miss Tuxtoo and his website.

Thanks for keeping the spriit of Tuxtoo alive.

Thanks for keeping the spriit of Tuxtoo alive.

That sounds very serious ... I believe he is alive and well and playing with new hardware

I would suggest my 4.15 but that might confuse life too much lol

mike

Added Muppy filer with gtkbasic and puppy basic built-in.

@ Mikeb I am interested in 415 I believe you said it had a Slax kernel.

Would it be ok to host it on my site?

Sure .. link directly or take it from here... I sometimes update it.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/110545536/Puppy ... v2.2.1.iso

I did give Tuxtoo a copy on the basis of the user core is pretty much 4.12 so there may be items of use to other users but for obvious reasons its not of much interest to him now.

Like 4.12 its best for our older gear though the slax kernel does have multi cpu, sata/ide and raid support.

Hope its of use

Wow thanks Mike I look forward to playing with it.

Update: Just tried Mike lovely work actually boots with xorg 7.3 on later machine I have - that 412 doesn't do.

Love the xfce desktop. Again thanks.

Darren

Pupitup added thanks Eztuxer for your work.

Hmm curious...xorg is pretty much as it came. The only change is in how its launched due to changes made for multiuser... only affect i noticed was not needing exec xwin to avoid a shutdown loop though the relationship between command prompt and X on puppy is a curious one. It may also be related to the part in xwin that throws out an xorg.conf if its not approved... again only guessing.

Hi Mike,

Would the different drivers of the different kernel be the diff???

I am very ignorant about this stuff and appreciate knowledge you impart.

Darren

Ah yes no brain today... framebuffer stuff perhaps... yes thats possible. Some cards want it, some cards hate it... slax kernel has it partially built in too...like usb modules.

mike

Thanks Mike I'll look into framebuffers.
