Nearly Office Pup is an XFCE based puplet, so called because it is a no frills pup without office apps. The idea being that you install to USB pendrive and add an SFS file of the office package (Libre Office, Softmaker etc).

This NOP is based on Tahr 6.0.2 PAE (kernel 3.14.20) with the new XFCE 4.12 desktop.
Added ffmpeg, mplayer and Pwidgets 2.5.6 but deleted all games, abiword, gnumeric, homebank, notecase, planner, geany, osmo, VLC, gstreamer, Qt, Python & more - but don't worry they can easily be added back to your pup with PPM.

get tahrNOP-2_6.0.2.iso (183 Mb) from http://download.tuxfamily.org/nop - md5sum file also here
Also at the NOP repository are pet packages to more easily add Python and QT back.

or download the iso from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6OcGXpM05Kdd3FLb3pacUdGWXM/view?usp=sharing
with md5sum https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6OcGXpM05KdRXZpUHpJZHIxaGc/view?usp=sharing

Known problems:
XFCE 4.12 is not as stable as the previous 4.10 version. In particular Thunar can crash or pop up an input/output error.

Updated to V2 - 23-3-15:
corrected ffmpegthumbnailer not working, added thunar-volman and whiskermenu, libsensors.

Wow, gray I thought you were long gone.

It was your NOP that got me switched over to Puppy, back in (maybe) 4.2 days. Good to see you're still around! Will give this a spin Smile

There appears to be a bug or something missing as svg wrapper don't work, this may be a problem with the Tahr pup 6.0.2 which I don't have installed to confirm.

Should be able to wrap an image and display it with this code saved as a .svg

Just confirming the that the svg wrapper don't display an image in Tahr 6.0.2 either, I'll post a bug report.

@666philb

witekjeden :

I don't have a GPRS modem so I can't test, but I think you are right, there is a flaw in the pgprs-connect script. I believe that line 6 should have an & on the end before the #, i.e . /etc/ppp/gprs.conf & #130812...

Attached is the corrected script, just unzip and copy to /usr/bin

hi grey,

i've loaded the kodi.sfs - but kodi does not start up. I've also tried installing XBMC from the ppm - but that also failed to start.

Could anyone point out what's wrong/missing ?

number698,

Have you tried this one?
http://www.smokey01.com/software/tahr-6/kodi-14.0-tahr.sfs
It works for me on tahr-6.0.2
