An early Christmas present - thanks....downloaded and will boot soon

Is it possible to have a short list of what's been left out vis a vis tahrpup?

Cheers & Merry Christmas
peebee

added a list to the first post .

I hope that's a My project (at LFS base) be haves a ~115MB... (at 32bit with Oldest drivers,but 64bit without Drivers hope to be haves a 145MB with GUI and without oldest drivers (as a to be: AMD,Nvidia and Intel only)... Maybe... But I will be make on a Future if I be can compile... at a .log and build bases...)
When You will be makes good at a build bases (from Websites at Auto-Compile)...
But I will be create a own as Porgy OS... (NuTyX bases a commands...)
If you want you can contribute as a "T2" (If you have a any hard of a LFS...)
My Porgy project -> http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=96874
When I don't scare... I will be checkout about a Packages at a Your build (if you created - at a Development only...) - When .log's at a Compile build to a mirror (about a My Porgy OS) are be welcomed'... (about a ./configure and etc...)

Is that unicorn puking a rainbow?

yep

@666philb,

Thanks. This is just what the forum needs – a small modern base for re-mastering.
Silly having retired almost 8 years ago, but I am starting to believe in Santa again!

PS Don’t forget to feed the reindeer.

Thanks

EDIT:I installed more applications including radky's
FbBox-1.0_32Bit.pet.

A very nice first release of Unicornpup.

Thanks 666philb

Initial tests very promising....

An LxPupUnicorn with Chromium39 derivative is a realistic possibility - see screenie

Broadcom wl driver also works ok

Notice there is only nouveau or nv drivers for nvidia - no modesetting?

Notice that openssl is still showing a really old version?

# openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014

# bash --version

Cheers & congrats

p.s. is this really a derivative? seems more like a Project to me

Manual frugal (Grub4Dos) install to a 1.6GHz Pentium M laptop with intel ipw2200 wireless and 855GM video. No hitches at all there.

A wonderful building block. Running Openbox and Lxpanel from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 730#703730 and added PCManFM from the PPM just to play. Works very well so far.

Just a couple of questions. Was it meant to have mplayer or another small player for the radio app? Added simpleGTKradio (my pref) and mplayer and that works just fine. In /usr/share/icons, is the hicolcor directory a misfire? Copied the scalable icons from it into the hicolor directory and they are found correctly.

All in all,

For anyone who can make use of it, an alternative form of 666philb's Unicorn-6.0 building block pupplet can be found below.

It is a compressed image file with the intended target being a 8GB or larger USB2 or USB3 stick.
The only change to the content of the ISO is the addition of PupControl & pupsaveconfig.

The image itself contains a small fat32 boot partition and a larger f2fs partition which contains the main sfs
plus a ready made savefolder with 3.3GB of free space.
In addition, if you target a 16 GB stick, an unallocated free space of 11GB will be available to create a third
partition in the format of your choice.

At 141MB the image is only slightly larger than the ISO. Pupsaveconfig has been preset to "always ask" at shutdown
or reboot so it makes an ideal test bed. It provides some of the speed advantages of a full install to f2fs whilst
still performing in the same manner as an ISO running entirely in RAM.

For more details of the rational please see the Chromebook Pup thread in Projects.
The image (ucf2fs.img.xz), MD5sum and a full sized screenshot of an install to a 16GB stick can be found here:

I installed the image to a 32gb SDHC card and formatted the sdb3
partition ext4.
Working fine so far.

G'day 666philb,

From within a Frugal Unicorn (on sda7), I wanted to install a Full Unicorn to sdb6 (empty, about 3GB) via the Universal Installer.

Seemed OK/normal until, when the installer was checking available partitions on sdb, it seemed to not check sdb13, sdb14 and sdb15 (those on the second row of partition icons on this computer).
A dialog box appeared saying I had chosen to install Unicorn to the "entire partition" - which was reported as 75GB and had no MBR - the only partition of this size is sdb15. This looked like it was going to install the Full to sdb15 without offering me the usual choice of partitions on the selected drive (i.e. from a dialog box with all the sdb partitions listed with details).
So it looks like I cannot install to sdb6.
No problem like this with any previous Pup.
Any thoughts?

David S.

dear 666philb, i have a problem with this unicorn:
On precise 5.7.1 retro, the getnvidia app works good;
on unicorn puppy why not? - please help me somebody.
I can not making an nvidia driver for my geforce 7600 gs card...

Unicornpup continues to please

Continuing to play:

lxpanel_0.6.2 from PPM runs very well and the footprint isn't too bad at roughly 1.2Mb uncompressed (I just eyeballed what was added to the save file). Simple to turn off the jwm panel by 'hiding' /root/.jmrc-tray. The menu plugin from lxpanel wants an lxde-applications.menu at /root/.config/menus. Could symlink to /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu but I just used the one from LxTahrPup. All controls/transparency/plugins working and easy to config.

I did update Yad. The one onboard (from woof CE?) is version 0.12.4. I updated to 0.27.0 (the one in X-slacko 2.3) so I could use the dir2sfs, sfs2dir etc from there. A bit more flexibility in compression schemes and Yad dialog, not urxvt. The older version didn't support the text formatting needed..

Pale Moon 25.1.0 and Opera 12.16 both run well, both 'portable' installations. SlimBoat 1.1.53, also a portable install, misses gstreamer 0.10. Netsurf is great for a bootstrap browser, seems pretty stable, and having the main browsers external and shared is just fine.

Continues to be totally workable out of the box, and much more pleasing visually (to me) with lxpanel.

Edit Dec 27: Continuing on, I added PCManFM 1.2.3 and a couple of fonts, did some testing in the /usr/local/bin/rox file to get the PCManFM opened cleanly when a drive is mounted or clicked, symlinked the different Trash locations, and the odd quartet JWM/Rox/Lxpanel/PCManFM really play pretty nicely together. Resquashed using xz high compression and the main SFS is up by 3.7Mb with NOTHING in the savefile. Not everybodies cup of tea but fast, quite light, and fun Oh, and the rightclicks from LxPupTahr also work perfectly here. Just used the pet in the options there. Thanks peebee

Edit Dec 31: Refined the 'rox' file testing and now bookmarks are automatically added and subtracted from the PCManFM sidepane as drives are mounted/unmounted. Can't mount from within PCManFM but it stays in synch with the Roxworld and Pmount. Had a shootout between the pure mutt described above and an Openbox/Lxpanel and a Lxde/Lxpanel version. The mutt won on lightness particularly with very few addtl. dependencies, but also surprisingly on objective speed and robustness. JWM/Rox really does do an ok job on the desktop and drives and Lxpanel and PCManFM 1.2.3 with rightclicks makes me happy.

Thanks,

Still playing here too

I moved my SDHC card install to my Gateway desktop which has Nvidia
graphics.

I downloaded and compiled the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-340.65.run proprietary
driver.

The acid test...

Just walked downstairs with a syslinux USB stick with the unicornpup 6.0 setup from my previous post on it and plugged it into my desktop with a 2GHz quad core intel j1900 processor. Bay Trail-D with intel HD 4000 video. Wired ethernet. That board has been very very picky about having a kernel newer than 3.11/3.12 for USB support and about Xorg/i915/Mesa versions. Lazy boy didn't even cull the laptop stuff. It loved LxTahrPup so, as expected, fired right up with USB, sound, intel driver and Mesa and correct video resolution. Checked the intel drm install. Totally clean. Glxgears at 2335 FPS, right where I'd expect it. Culled the .flsynclient, acpid_start, and CPU governor. With a TDW of 10 watts for processor/GPU, not much thermal management needed. Posting from it now.

In summary, it's just as at home on a thoroughly modern Intel based motherboard as it is on the 2004 era Pentium M laptop.

Edit: added "Intel based"

does nobody know a solution to this getnvidia-problem really? Then that's right, onto any amount i like it this new operating system, I have to stick by the own, csipeszpup system.
I can play it at least with my favourite game, the Far Cry...
Hm ...
