wanderer

and thats another important question for the puppy world thread

how can we all help the developers with their tasks

maybe they can tell us

wanderer

you are right dimkr we need to be more positive about woof-ce we are needlessly bashing it if you take the time to learn it it is a great system as proven by the great work you all do i think that if we had a short set of instructions on how someone could get started using woof-ce we could publish i...

hi dimkr thanks for your reply and for all your hard work over many years everyone in the puppy community really appreciates all you have done you gurus have made and are making many fantastic distros with woof-ce i assume you will continue your endeavors as long as it pleases you i know you feel gi...

hi dimkr i certainly dont want to demotivate anyone and i have used woof-ce to make a distro or two and i would like to give some constructive criticism thats one of the questions i asked earlier on this thread "should we try to make woof-ce more usr friendly" i actually think we can by do...

hi dimkr alas you suffer from the failing of most geniuses you simply cant comprehend that most people are not anywhere as smart as you we mere mortals need something that we can use that is why the single script approach works so well for us its simple like us we dont even have to understand how it...

hi all this is a request i note the FirstRib introductory example is not a complete distro and there is so much going on in their subsection its overwhelming to the uninitiated could the FirstRib developers make a script to produce a base iso that is usable as a working distro just jwm -rox xterm te...

hi all this is just an opinion from a non-developer person it seems like the less work the developers have to do on maintenance the more time they can spend on creation is there a general package manger that is not distro specific that is already developed and maintained by others that can just be a...

hi everyone i am posting this on the puppy world thread because i feel it applies to the entire puppy community the puppy distrowatch candidate is determined by the votes of the entire puppy community they can choose whatever distro they want and they alone decide since we only need 1 candidate per ...

hi jasper

here is another question

is woof-ce user friendly

should woof-ce be made more usr friendly

or should an alternative method of building distros be developed ( perhaps debiandog or FirstRib )

...

thoughts anyone

wanderer

here is another question jamesbond and others have mentioned that they would like to see a puppy that focuses on being a universal platform to quote jamesbond wrote: Common folks don't use operating systems. They use __applications__ that runs on top of the operating system, e.g. web browsing, word ...

here is another question

where does everyone think the puppy world should go

what does the puppy world need to advance technically ( systems etc )

thoughts anyone

wanderer

hi tosim

did you put the script in a folder on your ( needs ext filesystem ) hard drive
before you ran it
it needs 3 gb of hard drive space

i used gzip
and it ran fine

i also ran it from a debiandog iso
so it had the libs it needed

wanderer

hi all

since this thread is supposed to be about whats going on in puppy world

lets see if anyone answers this question

what distro do you use

and why

wanderer

hi fredx181 i built debiandog in the folder dd-1 now i have 4 folders inside dd-1 1. chroot 2. dog-boot-bookworm-20221013 3. initrdport-bullseye 4. isodata but i cannot find apt/archives in any of them where should i look also can i manually edit build_setup.conf to add or remove packages and once a...

hi fredx181 each time the build script runs does it have to download everything again is there any way to keep the debs in a local repository on your hard drive so if you want to try another similar build you can just fetch them from the local repository and you dont have to download them all again ...

oh by the way i use upup32 as my main distro ( thanks peebee )
and now will be using debiandog ( thanks fredx181 )
and soon will be using FirstRib ( thanks wiak )

i dont need no stinking windows ( or mint for that matter )

wanderer

well wiak

until we are banned

we shall not be silenced

wanderer

i dont believe its a good idea to submit every project to distrowatch if every individual project is submitted to distrowatch it fragments the effort the synergy that is achieved by everyone coming to this forum and working together is what advances puppy two heads are better than one many hands mak...

hi wiak and everyone i am now looking at your work it looks great of course i will try to build your entry level iso and generally try to figure out your system it looks like i can build a minimal modular distro with your system and thats my main focus in life i will post my experiences here as a so...

thanks dancytron and fredx181

for all your help

this is awesome

wanderer

i especially like the idea of a single script ( as in debiandog ) that will build a complete puppy world distro that is not in github and anyone can use it can be developed in github but it should be available on the forum so anyone can read it and modify it wanderer

i would like to start it by mentioning how impressed i am with fredx181s debiandog it is truly a masterpiece everyone should check it out i would also like wiak if he has the time to explain how his project works any other projects that should be mentioned wanderer

hi all this is a thread to discuss the technical innovations that are occurring in Puppy World that is all of the projects on the forum i am hoping that this will bring all the projects together to exchange ideas and to have a place where forum members can go to see what is happening wanderer

if every individual project is submitted to distrowatch it fragments the effort
the synergy that is achieved by everyone coming to this forum and working together is what advances puppy

many hands make easy work

wanderer

hi everyone i must strongly agree with wiak all this great work is essentially being hidden all of it is in the puppy spirit it needs to be showcased and incorporated into puppy not doing this is a great disservice to the puppy community the people that are attracted to puppy are attracted to the co...

hi fredx181 thanks for commenting on my half baked ideas i dont mean to change your system in any way in my opinion its perfect as it is you have made what is difficult and complex easy and simple for us lesser mortals the true mark of the work of a genius the thing i intend to try to do is as you h...

hi wiz57 thanks for the reply i understand emotions on this subject run high and everyone rightly has their own opinion but i think every option should at least be considered however i wouldn't pay too much attention to me i have been annoying people for a while on this forum my only worry is that i...
