Hello Everyone:
First of all I really like to thank rg66 and Geoffrey for their help. Thanks to noryb009 for 'Lin n Win'. Also there are many other persons in this forum who helped me as and when ever I faced any difficulty to learn this outstanding distribution.Today is the first day of new year 2015, also the release date of KUST OS 15.1. I set the version number 15.1 as its 2015 and the first release of KUSTOS . The name KUST comes from the Institute "Kohat University of Science and Technology(KUST)" from where I completed my Masters Degree.Its based on rg66's X-Precise 2.4. The basic idea behind that was to include the necessary softwares which we usually use in our daily routine work. I have created the iso as well as Windows installer. The size of the iso is 600 MB plus[/b]. I have added arabic, urdu and mscore fonts with some icon themes and wallpapers. I have replaced the default startup sound with Linux Mint startup sound Theme.


Update (13-Jan-2015):
I have recompiled the KUST OS iso and removed the gimp startup Error as shown in the bottom of the screen. I have also updated the libreoffice. New KUST OS 15.1 ISO and EXE download link is :

Hi
A great anouncement for all of us. As it is a really big download, I would like to clarify some questions. But first statement: It is one of the rare Puppy's able also to write from right to left or not?

My questions:

What kind of PC equipment?
Is the use without usb key / CD drive (only harddisk) and frugal possible?

As your language is about common with Hindi, is the use of devaganari possible or, better, supported (espec. in the choices in dialogs)?

Are adequate Spell checking dictionnaries integrated (Urdu, Arabic, Hindi) or as *.sfs available?

What is with the in universities popular stuffs Latex, Lyx,, emacs, and derivates like mudela/lilypond ?

see pls. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=61226

How long is the start (compared with standard Puppy with about 160 Mb) with all those 600 Mb (in the technic from RSH, modular technic with SaraB you don't need to start all the stuff at all: you start just in time! Second advantage: you can actualize each modul separately!)?

see pls http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 58&t=91422

Kind regards

Thanks a lot ally: you are always ready to upload the ISOs when ever someone creates a custom Puppy .

Oui : First of all let me clear that I am not a programmer but an ordinary user of puppy linux. Its just a customized version of rg66's X-Precise. I have added the urdu and arabic fonts for better webpage rendering. Initially I was interested to include Keyboard LayOut option in the panel but failed to do that (I am working on that and I hope that one day I will release the version who supports multiple Languages) .
The basic idea of this customize variant is for windows users who can install it with just double click in windows without knowing any technical things and can uninstall it easily without effecting anything. Also the iso is for advanced users who can use it with FRUGAL method as well as full Installation technique.
The PC requirement must be same as X-Precise requirement means Pentium-IV or above.
Thanks

I gave this a try but I'm sorry to say that I ran into problems when trying to install Chromium - one of the additional libraries I needed (probably libnss) wiped out one of the main desktop fonts and I ended up with squares and rectangles everywhere on my desktop instead of letters and numbers.

Apart from that though (and it mightn't even have been KustOS's fault), I thought it was a good and well thought out distro with most of the applications you need every day.

Hi CP,
Thanks for your comments and trying KUST OS. I have not tested the chromium or chrome browser yet. I will check that and update you soon.

Hi CP, Sorry for late reply as I was busy in some domestic affairs. It is confirmed that Chromium is working fine in KUST OS. I have installed the .pet of chromium and placed the following lib files in /usr/lib/chrome-linux directory.
libclearkeycdm
libclearkeycdmadapter
libffmpegsumo
libnspr4
libnss3
libnssutil3
libplc4
libplds4
libsmime3
nacl_helper

Here is the screenshot:

OK fair enough, I might have had the wrong version (of Chromium). May I ask which version of Chromium you installed, and is there a pet containing all the library files (libclearkeycdm etc.) to save me having to track them all down and install them by hand?

Thanks in advance,

CP .

Hi CP, I have installed chromium 29 in KUST OS. I have shared the .pet file alongwith all lib files. you can download that from here:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... sp=sharing

However I have noticed one thing, When I installed chromium with all missing library files, it shows the SQUID sandbox error as per following screen:
( I am sure that this is not the fault of KUST OS).

Then I have loaded the seamonkey 2.10 sfs file. (You can also download the seamonkey-2.10.sfs from the above mentioned link). Restarted the system. Chromium loaded successfully.
Hope this will work for you:
Thanks

Kust OS is a great addition to the Puppy family. I'm using it with pleasure.
I have one annoyance. All my documents are on a Windows computer on a wired network. I can get to them easily with Kust OS, but the access is very slow; for example, it takes 6-7 minutes to get a folder with several hundred documents.
Is there a faster way?

Thanks Umair. Somehow trying for the remote files by the "network" button didn't work well. Directly putting in the address is fast and efficient.

Hi davec51: Thanks for using and appreciating KUST OS. Can you give me the precise detail that how you are accessing your windows shared documents from KUST OS?
I access windows shared from thunar file manager with traditional smb syntax without any issues.
e.g: smb://ip-address-of-windoows (suppose smb://192.168.1.10 etc..)

Thanks

PLEASE, DO MAKE THAT NUMBERS AND LETTERS OF KERNEL "LOADING... VMLINUZ... INTRD..." COULD NOT BE SEEN.
DO MAKE AS IN LINUX MINT, UBUNTU... THAT WE CAN CHANGE BOOT PICTURES WITHOUT NUMBERS, LETTERS OF KERNEL.
