Yes.

Ok, for me apt update on the Starter kit fails :

Weird, isn't it ?

Testing in web browser using DD bookworm lxqt.

I can see it, but get the standard "you aren't using https" Chrome error.

I get this bad certificate error when I change it to https.

Thanks. Yes, http://deb.devuan.org/merged opens for me too with Google-Chrome, but... strange, NOT with Firefox and also apt update still does not work for me with the Starter Kit.

Thanks.
Probably holland is being discriminated ! (at least by deb.devuan.org) as I said switching to pkgmaster.devuan.org works fine.
(or may have to do with my ISP... but ... deb.devuan.org isn't something like Pirate Bay).

Project ended after six years and four versions.

Thank you to everyone who participated.

Just saw this. Sorry to see it, but I understand.

Are you going to continue to support the Deblive-multi-installer installation script??

For who is interested, the latest Debian-Live Daedalus Starter Kit ISO from rcrsn51 is still available at download mirror: https://github.com/DebianDog/MakeLive/r ... -amd64.iso

This version adds an option to use lz4 compression instead of the original lzop. LZ4 claims to have much higher decompression speeds.

Select the compressor using the new Config function.

The active compression method is identified on the title bar. A file's type is now denoted with the extension ".lzop.sfb" or ".lz4.sfb". Older lzop image files still work.

The original Puppy instructions are here.

Run it off your Starter Kit install or off your ISObooter drive so you can see how the dependencies are met.

Software should be run on the platform for which it was developed.

that worked. I found Xdialog in /usr/bin/ and created a link /bin/xdialog3

is this intended as a puppy app?

I don't understand. My copy of vanilladpup-10-xwayland already has Xdialog. Xdialog3 is just my gtk3 version made from jamesbond's excellent port. When you ran the Starter Kit, it would have been auto-installed from Fred's repo.

Are you interested in this project because of lz4? You can easily convert the current Puppy version just by switching "lzop" to "lz4" in two places in the script. I notice that some Puppies already have liblz4, so you just need the lz4 binary, which is small.

OTOH, I don't see any interest in the Puppy threads about resurrecting Save Folder Backup.

2 questions

• Will this backup become a PET related to the above question from williwaw effort?

• Will it acquire a companion restore ability in its future?

Did you even bother to look at the Puppy version of Save Folder Backup and Restore using the link that I posted above?

Its not in my current version of PUP I'm running. So,I assume that 2017 version is doing what this announcement from you is already doing...based upon your response: True/NO?

Clarity wrote: Tue Jan 28, 2025 10:41 pm

Of course not. But a whopping 668 people in the old forum figured out how to install it themselves.

I get so tired of this crap.

Not speaking for anyone else, here: Sorry to have bothered YOU with the simplest of questions!

I see now I went out of my way to find Xdialog and was lookin in the wrong place for the wrong thing I guess
I edited my post above to clarify what works here
thanks

If you want Xdialog3, go back to the Sep 01 2023 post. There are no guarantees that it is compatible with any Puppy.

[Edit] I notice that some recent Puppies are already using jamesbond's gtk3 version, named as Xdialog.

Here is Save Folder Backup/Restore v2.1 packaged as a PET for Puppy. Look for it in the Utility menu.

@ williwaw and Clarity: Since you both expressed an interest in this, I will await your feedback. I have only tested it briefly.

Note: If you want to use "full" lzop compression (as opposed to busybox lzop) or lz4 compression, you will need to install it yourself.

Go back to Monday's post for a link to the original instructions and "full" lzop packages. See below for lz4.

works fine in here vanillaDpup.
drag and drop works well to spec location of files and folders. lzop is fast
more straight foreward than the vanillaDpup supplied Pupsave Backup
tx

For your convenience, I have packaged the 64bit lz4 compressor tool from Debian 12 as a PET. Several recent Puppies already have liblz4 included, so this should work OOTB with Save Folder Backup. Switch to lz4 using the Config function.
