Friendly- JammyPup32

Post by wizard »

This remaster is based on JammyPup32-22.04-231111.iso
Thanks go to @peebee

This Puppy makes very efficient use of computer resources. In testing internet video streaming it out performed older Puppies dpup-stretch 7.5 and Friendly-Bionic32. Typically using 20% less CPU power and 100mb less ram, YMMV.

Overall Objectives:
- newer Puppy version for older 32bit hardware
- provide users with a version that minimizes the frustration of adopting a new operating system.

Include these components:
-a simplified desktop
-a simplified taskbar
-a background and theme that presents both style and tech. First impressions count.
-Mainstream browser, easily updatable Poor web function is a deal breaker
-a list on the desktop of many installed applications along with a short description of function
-a launcher directory, Mydesk, on the desktop, containing the most common tools and applications
-detailed local howto/tutorials for the most common setup/operating task facing a new user

Project considerations:
The .doc format was chosen for the tutorial/howto files since it would be the easiest to create, edit, maintain or adapt to other Puppys. Libre Write was used to create the originals.
The tutorials intent is not to make the user a Puppy expert. Not to bombard them with five ways to do everything, but to give them ONE way, hopefully easy, to do a common task.

This is the target user group criteria:
-Hardware is a 32 bit, single or dual core cpu, 512mb ram (1gb recommended), only one internal drive (if installing to internal drive)
-Windows user, other Linux user, Mac user
-Beginner level skills
-Can or knows someone who can create a bootable CD ot USB flash drive using one of the recommended programs
JammyPup32 is a work in progress. A friendlier Puppy for beginners. Hope you find it interesting or maybe it will provide ideas for others to make it even easier.

In addition to configuration improvements, these packages have been installed:
doubleclick-speed - change the mouse double click speed
grub2config-2.0.1 - grub2 boot loader installer
mdviewer - md markdown document view notes
poorercputemp32-0.1d - tray cpu temperature monitor
smartchk_1.0 - HDD and SSD drive health checker
tigervnc-viewer_1.12.0+dfsg-8_i386 - VNC remote control viewer
unetbootin-702-x86 - USB installer
vlc-3016-x32-jp32 - media player
x11vnc_server-0.9.14-i386 - VNC remote control server
xfe_1.43.2-3_i386_jp32 - multi-pane file manager
XFE_1st_setup-v2.1 - configure and add functions to XFE
xournal_0.4.8-1+b1_i386 - note and PDF annotator
yassm-4.5 - network file share connector

If you download the ISO be sure to read the next post to create a bootable CD/USB.

Making a CD or USB for your First Boot

rev 231117

This topic covers booting from either CD or USB.
The three common ways to do your first boot with Puppy are from CD, USB or dual boot with MS Windows. Here we will discuss making a bootable CD or USB.

Older computers will be limited to booting from a CD. If your computer is any of these you will most likely need a CD to boot.
*Made before 2005
*CPU is a single core ("Netbook" computers are one notable exception that are single core and USB bootable).
Searching your computer model on the internet can also help determine if it can boot from USB.
NOTE: Newer computers that have a CD/DVD drive can also use a CD to boot.

What you will need to make a bootable CD:
• A computer running MS Windows or some version of Linux, with a CD Writer drive.
• CD burning software, if you don't already have this, try one of these free programs
• MS Windows - BurnCDCC*, (tested) available here https://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downl ... -software/
set speed slider to CD 4X
• Puppy Linux – Pburn (tested)
• Other Linux - XFBurn, (tested) check your official repository
• A blank writable CD
Download the Puppy Linux ISO file of your choice, then use the burning software to make the bootable CD.

What you will need to make a bootable USB:
• A computer running MS Windows or some version of Linux.
• USB installing software, try one of the free programs listed below

MS Windows - Rufus, (tested v3.17) available here https://rufus.ie/en/
NOTE: Newer versions of Rufus may fail, use Rufus v3.17 portable from here https://www.fosshub.com/Rufus-old.html
More about Rufus (advanced user topic) -> viewtopic. ... 522#p40522

Linux - Unetbootin, (tested) available here https://unetbootin.github.io/linux_download.html
• A blank USB, minimum 2gb (you should erase any existing files)
Download the Puppy Linux ISO file of your choice, then use the USB installing software to make the bootable USB.

ALTERNATE PROGRAMS:
There are many other CD burning and USB installing programs, however, you will probably find they require more knowledge and more settings to use. For CD's, be sure you are "burning the ISO" and not just coping it to the CD. Worse, some of the programs cannot produce a Puppy USB that can be booted on some computers. We highly recommend you use one of the tested programs for best results.
