Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

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

wanderer

hi tosim

on the corepup repository

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...

thanks much watchdog
will try

still running down dependencies

wanderer

peebee you are a genius and upupbb32 is a masterpiece i use it as my primary disto for all of my computers and it runs flawlessly because you are a genius i encourage you to take a look at tinycore and dcore you might find them interesting and thanks again upupbb32 has saved the day wanderer

on a related note

i have put fredx portable firefox in tinycore 11
now i have a tiny distro that will run on old hardware with a constantly updated browser

try it

wanderer

i just couldn't resist putting in my 2 cents i think 32 bit will be around for (quite) a while 1. you can run 32 bit on 64 bit hardware 2. a lot of old games and apps need 32 bit 3. the key is the browser (and ram) (nothing much you can do when the ram needs are exceeded but) i would think that ther...

hi guys thanks much for the vlc links will try them out sorry i took so long to get back and thank you but i didn't realize you had posted on this thread because with all the subdivisions things get kind of hidden if someone else posts will make a point of checking even if i don't notice anything ri...

hi all i just have some questions for our developers of 32 bit systems as a user my needs are simple my hardware doesn't change the only thing i need to be periodically updated is the browser and media player in fact i don't want the base system to change if it works well on my hardware it would see...

hi peebee

using your scpup32 now
and its great
like upupbb32
since slackware appears to intend to continue to support 32 bit
hopefully this line of pups should have a long life

thanks

wanderer

hi peebee

please consider maintaining upupbb32 long term
it is an exceptionally polished distro

thanks

wanderer

hi all

i am playing with dcore
but have decided to keep all my stuff on the corepup thread
just to keep everything neat

wanderer

hi greengeek corepup/tinycore does not default to root if you want to move things switch to root by sudo (command) or by opening a filemanager or terminal as root you may also have to sudo chmod 777 -R a lot of stuff so that it is found or usable corepup uses tcz which are the same as sfs files so e...

thanks mike

will check it out

wanderer

its also possible to symlink an uncompressed folder
into both puppy and tinycore with the cp -a command
this would make it easier to add and test missing dependencies
before you squashed it up

will look into that as well

wanderer

thanks darry mikeslr and everyone am trying oscar talks vlc.sfs files now one by one i also made an sfs file from the vlc.sce file made by dcore stretch until i figure out how to loop back an application so that it uses its own folder as in fredx firefox sfs files are definitely the way to go they a...

hi all this is my first report on my attempt to build/obtain a (somewhat) portable vlc media player maybe a flatpack will work or maybe the other formats snap appimage etc maybe remaking a pet or remaking a dcore sce file or remaking the vlc player that works in tinycore 10 we have fredx firefox so ...

hi mikeslr

since i don't want to clog this thread

thanks much for pointing me in a direction

wanderer

hi all does anyone have any information about how fredx builds his portable firefox to me that is the preferred method download and build script is nice or whole directory can be made into a tarball download untar sudo chmod 777 -R run start script can look inside and modify can write to the directo...

wanderer

hi fredx and all

wanderer

hi moose on the loose i do think its a good idea to start a thread for your project i also think its a good idea to explain the project and the changes you made to the original iso on the thread as i played with corepup doing these things has helped me organize the project in my mind and also allowe...

thanks fredx

i will try them

using your busterdog now
its awesome
no problems

wanderer

hi guys

does anyone know of or could they make a portable vlc player

wanderer

i am just a user so my understanding of this is limited but i think fredx portable firefox is the perfect example it requires no manager system be installed like flatpack etc doesn't interfere with the libraries already loaded and upgrades automatically i put it in corepup so now i have a up to date...

hi moose on the loose

sounds interesting

the most important thing is that it works on your system

have you tried to put fredx portable firefox in it
that would be an up to date browser with no extra overhead

wanderer

well it looks like 32 bit debian stuff is alive and well

are you guys still thinking of a barebones 32 bit debian based iso
maybe with appimages

wanderer
