Hi.
Where to find information about what to do, if one wants to build a Puppy the first time like @666philb and @peebee are doing it - e.g. to build the first time from Ubuntu 21.04?
Thanks.

The information is lower down on this web page.
It does require some careful reading and doing things in specific steps.
The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected
No, this is just the standard info about creating a Puppy from existing presets/builds.
I don't want to re-create e.g. Fossa or Bionic. I want to build a complete new one the first time, never created before and therefore no files/presets/builds existing in Woof-CE.

Actually probably nobody does that - what you do is take the "nearest" build to what you want - either from GitHub or from an .iso and then modify it to what you want to do...
For Hirsute Hippo the nearest starting points are 64-bit = FossaPup64; 32-bit = UPupHH+D (but note that it is no longer possible to build a 32-bit system from just Ubuntu binaries - hence +D).

But how do I make Woof-CE to download the packages from Hirsute Hippo instead of Focal Fossa?
Of course I can use the Puppy packages from FossaPup, but I would need also the Ubuntu packages of Hirsute Hippo.
Otherwise I would build again a FossaPup...

I think you have to make a folder like this:
/woof-distro/x86_64/ubuntu/focal64
Except instead calling the folder "Hirsute" or something. You probably have to do it prior to running "./merge2out"
If you have trouble, I'll give it a try but I'm sure someone more experienced with woof-CE than me will offer help first.
Locking at this folder, You'll want to edit the following line:
Code: Select all
PKG_REPOS_ENABLED='Packages-puppy-fossa64-official Packages-ubuntu-focal-main Packages-ubuntu-focal-multiverse Packages-ubuntu-focal-universe '
Run ./merge2out for the NEAREST build - e.g. focal64
then EDIT the local copies of all the config files as shown in:
