There is a link on that page:
Best Linux distro for developers in 2021
Puppy is second in that list!

It has appreciation for the wikki page.
There is some good documentation in Puppy after all.

Hi @norgo
That looks a lot like View Youtube without ads from @MochiMoppel .
I use that and it works very well.

@BarryK builds packages with OE (dunfell) for EasyOS.

I have already suggested alterations in info on Debian packages via wiki pages.

Then you have already done documentation for dpup's packages already!

foxpup

Please also note that i have not yet been directed to, or taught (it is not in the mentioned page even), how to frugal install . I could refer to the exact line, but the BB code is very limited for referencing a phrase, a sentence or a paragraph. Yes you have been directed, here: https://forum.pupp...

Of course I use packages from debian. Only the graphics card require specific drivers from nvidia. .... Yes, this is nothing new. For the last 12 years I have been running the scripts, which requires gcc to compile. What I mean is: "Don't run these .run scripts from nvidia." If you use ne...

But I shall try once with the latest Knoppix. And Puppy as it uses framebuffer. Which others have discarded. If you want Puppy next to another linux, you better first install the other linux and add Puppy to its boot loader. Like in How to add Puppy to grub2 with Windows 10 and Manjaro? I have used...

foxpup

... I am not familiar with init/runlevels ... How come? Those are basic linux commands. 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. Puppy has busybox as init and that does not use runlevels. Not so basic after all. Isn't it more a tool for admins and servers also? ... You do install from debian and not from nvidia? ... Didn'...

Wny only the nvidia card, Please have everything here: The details of the laptop is here: http://bit.ly/HCL_Pen2Core Please note that the last updated version in nvidia website installs in the latest debian, but stalls at init 5. I have three older versions, one of which works for Knoppix luckily. ...

foxpup

Could you give the specs of your nvidia card?
I would like to understand what the problem is there.

foxpup

It is strange! When there is so much freedom for a chain to form from Debian to Ubuntu to Puppy, why not another modified puppy? Or a BIOS to VEFI conversion tool? Not sure I understand you. Puppy just uses the packages, the compiled programs, from this big distros, to win time. Typically there are...

foxpup

... I have tried dd and I boot fine from both a legacy and an EFI machine. ... Yes, as I have said, the USB drive installer booted up fine from a VEFI machine and I had a puppy running on RAM. It is UEFI or EFI, not VEFI. That means you have Puppy running on another machine, a EFI machine? :shock: ...

foxpup

That is because I use the legacy option in BIOS. ... But using the same BIOS I used Knoppix and the latest Debian Live Installation ISO USB Pen drives to install those systems. The laptop in question is old. NO VEFI. Only PXE Boot available. I wrote to PhoenixBios. They have a doze BIOS flash exe f...

foxpup

I have a ton of questions. :-) The snapshot shows it tries to boot with grub4dos (not grub). That is a legacy BIOS boot, not UEFI. Do you indeed use legacy boot? I understand you have debian installed on the HDD. If so, you could install Puppy next to debian and add Puppy to the boot system from deb...

Sample grub.cfg if you're using this. menuentry "DPup_Buster"{ set root='(hd0,1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 642E78822E784ED4 linux /DPupBuster8/vmlinuz root=UUID=642E78822E784ED4 psubdir=/DPupBuster8 pmedia=atahd pfix=copy,fsck initrd /DPupBuster8/initrd.gz } Just a little t...

foxpup

Really? Sounds silly to me.
That means I cannot post in a Dog section? Because I do not use Dogs.
I am not always aware if I am in a Dog section or a Puppy section
I wil have to be more careful. I am sure I will forget about it.

foxpup

I have a question: Why do Linux people assume that Doze people shall migrate from Doze and be happy with the numerous choices that Linux distros offer? These are 2 questions! We do not assume that windows' people will migrate from windows. They do not. Some people do not like the freedom and the he...

Welcome to Puppy jean202 ! Is the wifi switch on? ;-) ( Maybe wrong version of the driver?

Just for work, but that is a lot.
So windows to me means stress, mostly boring and meaningless, bloat and often technical problems and being boxed in.
Puppy means leasure time, relaxing, freedom, fiddling, learning, enjoying.

I suppose this is not in the new Puppys anymore: Oh and a funny story: Apparently I,m a bit slow on the uptake. I,ve been using puppy linux for a couple of years now and to get into my shared computers on the network - I have always used YASSM-search. But lo and behold - all this time there was a ha...

no just the ram only which is the standard puppy linux you get when first booting puppy. i still have access to the virtual terminal to run any command so i know it is fixable. son it has to be a terminal command or maybe a file i could copy into my save file. You mean that you can run either witho...

Try xwin jwm or even xwin /usr/bin/jwm when you are at the prompt (no X). Doesn't echo add a line to a file, not overwriting? Yo know you have a text editor, Minimum Profit, on the prompt in Fossapup? mp -txt /etc/windowmanager Have you tried installing xfce through the PPM? Also, there is at the mo...

Yes, I know this channel, it is on odysee/lbry as well:

He has awesome content. Fascinating.
But I do not understand all of it.

What I usually do when I want to change to another window manager is: . start with pfix=nox or drop out of X to the command line . start the preferred wm with "xwin ... " "..." can be the executable for the wm or the full path to the executable. For icewm you may want to start ic...

find /root/.config/autostart -type f | grep .desktop | sed "s/^/rox /" | sh This command opens the found file straight away. What I covet is the pfind GUI which lists the found files which can be conveniently renamed/deleted, etc. and shows the full path of each file. What you want to do ...

foxpup

I realized that maybe you want more. Do you want to look for files with "some content" and use the filename? Then you can use grep with the -l option. grep -iRl "some content" /somedir The -R option is usefull to look recursively into directories. Look in the man page of grep. Fo...

foxpup

There is also the command find.
A simple example:

Code: Select all

find /root/.config/autostart -type f -name '*.desktop' -exec rox {} \;

Alternatively, works but not better :

Code: Select all

find /root/.config/autostart -type f | grep .desktop  | sed "s/^/rox /" | sh

foxpup

Have you turned off hibernation in windows prompt?

Code: Select all

powercfg.exe /hibernate off

You may have to delete some hibernation file that is still present as well.
