Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

With radky's permission, I made an updated BookwormPup64-10.0.9, instead of the usual CD version.
It has Kernel 6.10.14 & an fdrv with extra iwlwifi firmware. Compression is also higher. Is 656mb.
Named BookwormPup64_10.0.9_nkb (newer kernel branch), for iso, sfs's, configs & DISTRO_SPECS entries.
Can't mix this & radky's pup's sfs's.
Did some basic testing - ok. Use at own risk.

For compiling, need my kernel sources (& maybe headers) from forum Kernels section. Also need devx
below, which must be in the same folder as puppy...sfs so as to load on boot.

Hello @ozsouth

Is this a remaster or is this a WoofCE build for a "nkb"?

Curious

@Clarity - radky wanted me to diffferentiate names, as well as my changes to kernel, firmware & compression, but essentially is his woofce build. I edited DISTRO_SPECS & boot configs minimally.

Thanks @ozsouth

So this is a WoofCE build using @radky's build recipes. Similar to @peebee's approach for BKWP64. Your creates has later kernel and additional Wifi needs.
Edit: This is not a WoofCE build of the build used for v1009. It is a remaster of BKWP64 v1009

Will test ISO file booting as soon as I can clear my plate

Excellent Pup Ozsouth!!

Nice to have it fit on CD.
I just tried it booting as frugal from HDD, and also booting from CD and perfect each time.
Decided that my usual CD-R rated at "74min/650MB" was probably not quite big enough so used a Verbatim "80min/700MB" and works fine. (Posting from it now)

Looks like a very full featured Pup.

- Great to see both Connman and SNS available.
- Nice to have choice of Firefox as root or spot direct from the menu.

Only niggles so far:
- If I try to "insert symbol" from Abiword I get small squares with ascill code in it - rather than the usual character. Possibly missing font?
- Have not been able to get GTK radio working. Just says "stopped". (I have no prior experience with this so may be doing something wrong...)

Will keep testing. This looks like a great pup.

(So far only tested on Tosh Satellite Pro S500 with 3GB ram. Will try on some other machines)

.... not been able to get GTK radio working. Just says "stopped"

Update your playlists

@ozsouth please accept my apology!!!

I noticed on the 'official' BKWP64 thread, that you have already indicated this "nkb" is a remater.

I missed that post before I raised the question on this thread.

Sorry

I've noticed that whenever I download from mediafire.com, I have a hard time getting the download. It starts great but then slows to a crawl and sometimes even fails and stops.
Is there a trick to downloading that can help for future downloads that can help me?
Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

It works great on my new laptop since it is using kernel 6.10.14 like I would think.
Thanks for releasing this.

@ozsouth my headset wouldn't work with BW10.0.9 but with your updated kernel works perfectly, thanks.
