hi rufwoof

sounds great

do you have an iso for pugdog
can i substitute the extlinux bootloader and put it on a usb

wanderer

wanderer

can you compare your system to this it seems as i am reading your posts that you variably compile/add many components to the kernel and initrd rather than keeping them separate as extensions also did you say your system was taken from pieces of fatdog does it use puppy sfs files or pets wanderer

wanderer

hi rufwoof corepup/tinycore/dcore consists of 4 components 1 bootloader 2 kernel 3 initrd 4 compressed extensions the extensions are loaded using symlinks and can be many small individual pieces as in tinycore or large bundles of dependencies supporting an app as in dcore corepup also uses a simple ...

hi rufwoof

i am trying to follow what you are doing
now digesting it
very interesting

what wiak is doing with weedog
is also very interesting

but a little complex for me

wanderer

wanderer

it is very easy to build and maintain multiple versions of the system since 2 folders on the drive hold the extension files the tce folder for the compressed extension files and the home folder for the uncompressed extension files all one has to do is download/gather the desired extension files and ...

wanderer

here is an interesting thing you can do with symlinks let us say you have a folder with an app in it named app1 (for example in home) and you symlink it to root / it is now mounted if you change the name of the folder to another name say app1x the symlinks cannot find it and it is now unmounted if y...

wanderer

with corepup/tinycore/dcore the symlink system is one of the great strengths of this system it is much more robust and flexible than the union file system since it has no overhead another great strength is having the ramdrive be the root filesystem and having extensions symlinked into it so at minim...

wanderer

hi luke download tinycore 11 first and start with that play with it a little and go to the tinycore website and read the corebook there are 2 basic variants tinycore and dcore both on the tinycore website tinycore divides the dependencies up and loads only what is needed it uses the tinycore reposit...

wanderer

hi luke puppy linux is great but difficult to strip down there is even some question if stripping puppy down is useful since it is a tightly integrated system with lots of little gems sewn in if you want a system that starts with a tiny core and just adds what you want you should look at corepup/tin...

hi all

does anyone want to make an absolutely minimal puppy core with woof-ce
just cli
so that everything else can be added as an sfs file

just asking for fun

wanderer

wanderer

thanks mikesir

will check it out

wanderer

wanderer

so my universal package manager

is to use uextract to extract it into a folder
and then squash it into an sfs file
(maybe rename it tcz for corepup/tinycore)

or leave it as an uncompressed folder
and symlink it using the copy command

sometimes it works

pretty advanced

wanderer

wanderer

thanks s243a

will look for it
( i see it )

hi rockedge

dont know why and cant seem to stop it

wanderer

wanderer

something strange is going on
my text is being arbitrarily put in code boxes
will ask rockedge to look into this

wanderer

solved by mm
remove all preceding spaces

... thank you very much wiak for your comprehensive answer yes i am not thinking of anything big or complex or foolproof which i think with the variation in distros is virtually impossible more like a general formula to convert/package an application into one that can be tried on your distro and for...

wanderer

hi all this is just a question for the gurus what are the ins and outs of a universal package manager/maker that is a process that can take an app from various sources and package it in a format for a particular distro i have some idea of the complexity/impossibility of this task and that it has bee...

wanderer

hi all first i would use tinycore 11 in the corepup repository on the first post of this thread since its libraries support new stuff like fredx portable firefox (if you load them from the tinycore repository) then when you boot put in tce=sda1 and home=sda1 as bootcodes (or whatever drive you want ...

wanderer

hi taersh

Code: Select all

 i use upupbb32 

 what do the extensions do  


 thanks 

 wanderer

wanderer

hi all isn't it wonderful that we have such a great forum to come to without which we would not have this great puppy community and such a great bunch of developers that give of their time and expertise to create all these masterpieces and such a great group of users that hopefully appreciate all th...

wanderer

hi tosim

the link to the corepup repository is on the first post of the corepup thread

i agree upupbb32 is in my opinion the best 32 available - thank you peebee

i do want to look into upupbb32 more deeply but it works so well it dont want to mess with it

wanderer

wanderer

also now on corepup repository

wanderer

wanderer

hi tosim

i will try to post my copy of upupbb32 ... 22
on the corepup repository

trying now

wanderer

wanderer

hi all for what its worth i am going to move this request/discussion to the corepup thread since it has to do with putting a portable vlc into tinycore11 and falls under the wider topic of putting sfs and pets into corepup/tinycore also that way i only have to keep an eye on one thread thanks for al...

wanderer

thanks much watchdog
will try

still running down dependencies
