Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

hi all

i know this is a pain

but i really think its important to stay on distrowatch

i think that is where i found puppy
300 hits per day is a lot of interest

cant we (the puppymaster) just put up a new edition once a year just to stay on the list

wanderer

hi all i just thought of a way to save everyone a ton of work and grief why dont we have a thread where the puppy community nominates one of the completed mainstream puppies to be the representative puppy edition for a particular month (or whatever time interval is appropriate so that all completed ...

hi rockedge

would you start the thread since you manage the forum

wanderer

hi all since no one has immediately responded to this suggestion i think i will run with it i think we (that is to say the developers not me since i have no skills) should make a community edition AT LEAST 1 time per year it can be multiple times per year if it is updated we can call the first one ...

hi all this is just a suggestion from a user not a developer puppy used to be developed by barry k who put out editions very frequently others contributed their own editions but there was one primary edition and this was easy for people not familiar with puppy to understand and kept distrowatch ...

hi all

has anyone noticed that puppy is no longer listed on the distrowatch ranking list

or is it just my system

wanderer

hi all i have a suggestion why not just rename this section OTHER PROJECTS that is projects not directly related to the standard puppy system but still in the spirit of a puppylike distro corepup and dcoredog certainly fit in this category and others may want to put their projects here if the feel ...

hi all i think it is important that there is information on the puppy forum that shows that a puppylike system can be structured in different ways (ie symlinks and modules) and that the various systems can be combined together but i am not a developer and so this will never be an intensively ...

hi geo c and rockedge do not bother with the old corepup isos on the the first post as their modifications are trivial it is best to start with the latest tinycore on the tinycore site the tinycore info should tell you all you need to know the entire base system runs in ram aside from the extensions ...

hi all just a post to report that i am still alive and reading the forum every day so if anyone wants to contact me just post on this thread i also continue to play with corepup/tinycore/dcore its a tinkertoy with endless permutations i did note that on distrowatch there was a very positive mention ...

hi all this is just an update on this little project and a notice that i am still alive and reading the forum everyday what i do with corepup is just study the system and try to build a system that i can use everyday this is an interesting trade off since my hardware does not improve but tinycore is ...

hi all this is just an update on this project essentially this project uses tiny core as a base to support puppy (and other distro) components it is possible to modify tiny core beyond it normal parameters but that is neither necessary nor desirable as it will break the support tiny core receives ...

hi guys thanks for your concern im fine and read the forum everyday but didnt have anything to say so i didnt post im still playing with corepup as it (and the concept of a minimal modular system) is of great interest to me and it really never was an issue to me about others being involved beside ...

rest up and get well soon
and say hi now and then if you feel up to it

wanderer

hi luke i would start with the latest tinycore from the tinycore site this is the smallest most modular base for your mpv if it is too new for your hardware you can try older ones until you find one that works they might even have an mpv extension already made that you can download take a look at it ...

hi puppytrue corepup/tinycore and dcore use a simple sfs file symlinked into root for their extensions so you could put everything you needed in a file and squash it up and then put it in the tce/options folder to have it symlinked however i have no knowledge of your application and what it would ...

not suggesting anyone do it

but you could have a recent posts thread
that just gathers all the posts on the forum
but leaves them in their own threads

like tinycore linux

that way everyone can see what everyone is doing
by just checking one thread

william

hi fredx

would like to thank you for ff portable
works great in corepup

you have to add some libs from their ff and alsa downloads
so if anyone is interested in putting it in corepup
post on my thread and i will tell you how

and thanks again fredx

william

yes
upupbb32 is my main os (thanks peebee)
no windows

william

hi 8geee

no this is only x86 32 bit

go to the tinycore site and ask your question
someone may have some advice or be working on something

william

hi darry

apulse is activated with firefox
so it does not need to be started independently

but one has to not load pulseaudio
or it will interfere with apulse

but if you want to use firefox-esr
you will have to load pulseaudio

william

hi fredx and everyone thanks for firefox portable it is awesome i am trying to put it into dcore stretch it will run but no sound i do have pulseaudio loaded and firefox-esr 78 will run with sound any ideas edit the solution is when i loaded pulseaudio it interfered with apulse which is what firefox ...

i have already figured out how to use woof-ce to make modules from puppy packages see the minimal modular puppy (from fossapu64) thread now someone needs to figure out how to determine what packages are needed for each app the modules would fit right in with dimkrs modular puppy concept william

once again

a module could be made of taersh's initrd

yet another option available in puppy linux

people can then work on their own module independently
to further develop it
without interfering with any one else

william

hi all since this thread appears to be where puppy development is taking place i will post my 2 cents here assuming we are talking about a community puppy it must meet 2 criteria 1. it must be infinitely flexible (because everyone wants something different) 2. it must be accessible to everyone ...

hi again if you made puppy into a modular system and used my simple build system you could make a module of wiak's weedog init and anyone could choose it if they desired in their particular iso build so now you would have 3 init choices available to everyone william

by the way

im working on all of that now on the corepup thread

using dcore-stretch as the example base

william

hi all i know ive never mentioned this before so it will come as a shock to everyone but why not make puppy into a modular system one module will be dimkrs c init another module will be the old script init and using my simple build system one can choose which module one wants in each build since my ...

hi all i have reached the point where i have everything i need to complete my project and build my simple build system prototype and develop it further so this thread is no longer needed i will move this topic back to the corepup thread where all my stuff is if you are interested in this project ...

hi all well things are coming along very well looks like i will have everything i need very lucky for me since me being able to write a complex script is out of the question ill write the template scripts which will just be simple cp and mkisofs stuff dcore will supply the initrd the bootloader the ...
