Install Puppy to usb

dudeman — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:12:48 -0500

I installed puppy to usb, right? Well... it didn't work at first with superfloppy mode. You heard me, DIDN'T! But I figured out how to do this. No GRUB needed.

Before you begin, burn a puppy linux cd. I used 4.00 with seamonkey. Boot it.

First, make sure that there ARE partitions. If you tried SuperFloppy mode, add a partition! I used FAT32, W95 FAT32 in gparted

Second , in the installer (menu,setup,puppy universal installer), pick usb flash drive , select your drive.

Then, hit the installl button ON THE TOP, NO OPTIONS ON THIS SCREEN!

Go through the sanity check.

choose mbrfat.bin then syslinux.

keep choosing yes (usually enter or *enter, look at the instructions)

when done, shutdown puppy .

remove the cd.

copy (or move) your pup-save.*fs file (where applicable)

Enjoy puppy!

NOTE: If you add a save file to usb, you can insert both the usb and cd to load save file on older computers

WARNING! UNLIKE THE CD, YOU CANNOT USE BOOT OPTIONS!

How to Create a Multi-Session Puppy LiveCD/DVD

Creating a disc that is multi-session is desirable when one wishes data to be saved to the same LiveCD/DVD. This means that one can carry an operating system and personal files all on one disc.

A multi-session disc can only be created if it is written or burnt 'open'. Being 'open' means that future persistent data can be saved to it.

Puppy Linux has been a pioneer of the multi-session LiveCD/DVD. And the best method to create a multi-session disc is to use Burniso2cd under Puppy Linux. Here a DVD is always burnt open, i.e. the option whether to burn as closed or open is not offered.

This DVD can become either a multi-session Puppy LiveCD/DVD or a non-multi-session one. This option is offered when you first boot the newly burnt disc and subsequently proceed to shutdown: you will be asked where you will want your persistent data to be saved, either on the DVD or on some other partition, wherever that may be. The irreversible decision you make here is what determines whether the disc is permanently set as multi-session or not. So if you want a
multi-session disc choose that data and settings be saved to the optical disc only.

For CD-R/RW media the situation is different. The option is offered whether to burn as closed or open; so if you want a multi-session CD-R/RW then you must choose to burn an 'open' disc. However, using a CD seems to be less reliable at saving sessions at shutdown than using a DVD - another reason not to use CDs.

Microsoft Windows Users

Not all CD/DVD burning programs designed for Microsoft Windows provide the option to burn (write) in multi-session mode. One that does is the free CDBurnerXP∞. It is only available for Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server/Vista operating systems.

Use this program for creating a multi-session LiveCD only. However, it has already been stated that it is recommended to use DVD-R media for the creation of a multi-session disc. Therefore the only circumstances under which one should use CDBurnerXP to burn a CD-R would be if one's optical drive is not a DVD rewriter. The following tutorial is for such a situation.

Tutorial: Download CDBurnerXP here. Version 3 does not require Microsoft .NET Framework to be installed. Later versions do. Launch CDBurnerXP whereupon a dialogue box opens which is the startup screen (older startup screen, newer startup screen - varies depending on software version); select the option that refers to burning an ISO image;

From the File menu select Write Disk from ISO file...;
Select a suitable writing speed;
Ensure that Finalize Disc is not ticked;
Click Write Disc.

Do not use CDBurnerXP to create a multi-session LiveDVD. To record to DVD a running Linux distribution is required because one absolutely must use growisofs (combined mkisofs frontend/DVD recording program) to perform the burn. The Burniso2cd program in Puppy Linux uses growisofs.

In summary, for all Microsoft Windows users, the recommended course of action is:

First create a non-multi-session LiveDVD using BurnCDCC with a DVD-R (as shown here)

Then use this newly created disc to boot into Puppy Linux so as to create a new multi-session one using Burniso2cd (as shown here)

This is possible since remember that Puppy Linux runs completely in RAM and so the first LiveDVD (the non-multi-session one) can be removed from the optical drive and replaced with a blank disc for the creation of the new multi-session LiveDVD.

How to Create a Puppy Linux LiveCD/DVD

Preparation

Download the latest official version of Puppy Linux. The easiest method for most users may be to use the BitTorrent protocol to download the ISO image, as BitTorrent automatically verifies the integrity of the data received. ISO images are files that contain data files, as well as file system information such as boot code. They can be considered as a single file copy of a disc.

If the BitTorrent protocol is not used then verification of the integrity of the downloaded ISO image must be done manually. It is important that this is done since it will prevent you from wasting time and money, and from being embarrassed. A lot of requests for help is "Why does my disc not boot?". Modem connections tend to be interrupted when downloading large files. Endeavour to use a download manager if possible so that if the download gets interrupted it can be resumed later. Verify its integrity by going here.

Verify that the computer's BIOS is configured properly so that the boot sequence is set appropriately. This is to ensure that the CD/DVD drive will boot before any hard disc drive (HDD) does, or any other bootable device. Many computers' BIOS do not have this sequence by default. A suitable boot sequence would be: floppy drive, CD/DVD drive, then HDD. Save any change to the BIOS configuration before exiting the BIOS.

Verify that you have a re-writable optical disc drive. All optical disc drives have reading capability, but they do not all have writing capability. The older an optical disc drive is, the less likely that it has writing capability. If a drive has this capability it will have the logos "RW" and/or "ReWritable" imprinted on the drive tray.

Verify that you have a blank (or erased) disc inserted in your optical disc drive. Use high quality disc media.

Choice of Optical Media: DVD-R

If your optical disc drive is compatible it is recommended that DVD be used, since it is a higher specification format than CD and can hold much more data.

It is strongly recommended that you use single-layer, not double-layer, DVD-R media. A single-layer DVD-R can store about 4.3GB, but there is a software limitation that restricts the last directory to 4G. So using double-layer DVD-R media will just be a waste of money.

Do not use DVD+R, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW media as each of these seem to have particular problems. But then, if you find that a DVD+R works for you, fine. Of course you may experiment with any media, perhaps DVD+RW.

If your optical disc drive is not DVD compatible: use CD-R. CD-RW is not recommended simply because it is not necessary. Although a CD-R is "write-once", in multi-session mode tracks can be written one after the other up to 99 tracks or until the CD-R becomes full. Therefore save money and use CD-R media.

Burning (Writing) the ISO Image to Optical Disc

The instructions in this section result in a disc where personal data and settings have to be saved to some other partition on a HDD or USB flash drive. Data cannot be saved to this type of LiveCD/DVD. If data is required to be saved to the LiveCD/DVD that is in use then a multi-session LiveCD/DVD must be created (see the next section for that).

Microsoft Windows Users

In order to burn an ISO image the burning software must be instructed to use the "burn iso image" function. For example, in Nero, go to the File menu and select Recorder -> Burn Image; not Burn Bootable Image.

Do not use the burner software that comes with the Microsoft Windows operating system. Such software only produces a data disc which is not what one wants. One wants to produce a bootable disc. The software to use are either BurnCDCC or ImgBurn, both of which are highly recommended and free.

BurnCDCC consists of one small file only and requires no installation. It is designed to burn ISO images exclusively and is excellent for inexperienced users. Both programs can be reliably used to burn an ISO file to a CD/DVD. Both programs appear to be available for all versions of Windows.

Video Tutorial - How to use BurnCDCC∞
Tutorial - How to use ImgBurn

A low burn speed is best since it will increase the probability of achieving a bootable disc. Images are not burnt correctly at too high a speed. Set the burning speed of the software accordingly; or just accept the default value set by the program. When the image has been written, re-start the computer with the disc remaining in the drive.

If you would like to create a multi-session LiveCD then you would need to use CDBurnerXP, not BurnCDCC or ImgBurn (see section below).

If you would like to create a multi-session LiveDVD then you must use Burniso2cd (see section below).

Linux Users

Users of a Linux distribution other than Puppy Linux may burn ISO images using their default burner, e.g. K3b and Brasero. K3b automatically performs the md5sum verification and is included in Linux distributions that use the KDE desktop. Brasero is an application to burn CD/DVD for the Gnome desktop. It is designed to be as simple as possible and has some unique features to enable users to create their discs easily and quickly.

Puppy Linux users have the excellent Burniso2cd burner software at their disposal. This will only work with a blank disc, i.e. the disc is either new, or, as in the case of a re-writable disc, it has been completely erased by some other program since Burniso2cd only burns discs and does not erase them.

Within Puppy Linux, go to: Menu -> Multimedia -> Burniso2cd.

Within Burniso2cd, select the disc type, CD or DVD, that has been placed in the drive; then select the optical disc drive that contains the disc; and then navigate to the location of the relevant ISO file so as to select it.

The Burniso2cd program will burn (write) the ISO image file to the disc. Leave the disc in the drive and re-start the computer.

Multi-Session LiveDVD

Creating a disc that is multi-session is desirable when one wishes data to be saved to the same LiveCD/DVD. This means that one can carry an operating system and personal files all on one disc.

A multi-session disc can only be created if it is written or burnt 'open'. Being 'open' means that future persistent data can be saved to it.

This DVD can become either a multi-session Puppy LiveCD/DVD or a non-multi-session one. This option is offered when you first boot the newly burnt disc and subsequently proceed to shutdown: you will be asked where you will want your persistent data to be saved, either on the DVD or on some other partition, wherever that may be. The irreversible decision you make here is what determines whether the disc is permanently set as multi-session or not. So if you want a multi-session disc choose that data and settings be saved to the optical disc only.

Microsoft Windows Users

From the File menu select Write Disk from ISO file...;
Select a suitable writing speed;
Ensure that Finalize Disc is not ticked;
Click Write Disc.

In summary, for all Microsoft Windows users, the recommended course of action is:

First create a non-multi-session LiveDVD using BurnCDCC and a DVD-R (as shown above)

Then use this newly created disc to boot into Puppy Linux so as to create a new multi-session one using Burniso2cd (as shown above)

For the normal Puppy 4.0 you should download:
NVIDIA-964301-k2.6.21.7.pet

Compiling

oldwiki — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 17:46:14 -0500

To convert Puppy into a complete compiler environment you will need to get the compiling addon file that corresponds with the version of Puppy that you are using, e.g. for Puppy 2.14 devx_214.sfs. So start downloading now, then read while you wait....

Download here:

latest devx sfs∞
devx file for Puppy 4.00∞
devx file for Puppy 4.00 for 2.6.25 kernel∞
devx file for Puppy 3.01∞
devx file for Puppy 3.00∞
devx file for Puppy 2.15CE∞ - If link is down, check Puppy215Downloads for mirror.
devx file for Puppy 2.14∞
devx files for Puppy 2.10 and later∞
devx files for Puppy 2.01 and 2.02∞
devx file for Puppy 2.00∞ and MD5 file∞
usr_devx.sfs file for Puppy 1.x∞
devx files from Puppy 2.01 and later mirrored here∞
devx files for newest Puppy mirrored here(ftp)∞

For most every type of Puppy install (live-cd, frugal), save or copy the file to /mnt/home(if it doesn't exist then you probably have a full hard drive install, see below). This is where your personal storage file is, e.g. pup_save.2fs or pup001. Now if you're using Puppy 2.x and haven't saved your session somewhere then you need to do that first for Puppy to recognize the devx file. Now simply reboot back into Puppy to start compiling.

But for a full/option-2/normal hard drive install to Linux partition with Puppy 2.x, then follow the instructions at the bottom of Barry's page∞ for now but check back here later for a shortcut.

How to Test if devx is installed

Now that you've installed you devx module, it is time to test it to see if it works.

Quick Test

Open up rxvt and type 'cc' it should spit this back at you
cc: no input files
If it tells you 'command not found' then it has not installed properly.

Better Test

Save the following as test.c
If using Geany, set it it to C and test compile first

/* Example C program */

int main()

{ int i;
for (i = 0; i < 50000; i++)
{
printf ("%d",i);
printf (" Puppy is Great\n");
}
return 0;
}

in the same directory
open a terminal (Right click in the open folder/directory with Rox 2.5 /Window/terminal here)
and type

gcc test.c -o test

this will create a runnable file called "test"
the command

./test

will run it . . .

What does Compiling mean?

In a nutshell: Compiling is the process by which a program written in a human readable format is converted to a computer executable format.
For a full explanation read the Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compile∞

compiling...

you can write programs in assembler, which is almost "perfect" in the eyes of a computer, very close to binary code.

lda 02
sta #c000
lda #c001
cmp #c000
bne d000

But this is difficult to understand, in C it might look like this:
a=2;
b=c;
if (a != b){
my_subroutine();
}

This is easier to understand (high-level language), a simple comparison of two numbers, and depending on the result (if they are different), a sub-program is executed.

As computers do not understand "if" and don't have variables (C) but only a stack (assembler), the code must be translated from C to assembler or even better directly to binary code (assembler itself is not binary, but a very simple form of a "high-level-language" very close to binary code).

This translation is "compiling".
If you open the resulting "code" in a hexeditor, you will only see binary code, values from 0 to 255 "wildly mixed". The computer can understand this code, but no human can.

Why Compiling programs

Sometimes you will find that a program or driver that you need or want is not available for Puppy.
The good news is: If that application or driver is open source, you will have access to the source code to compile, but don't get put off by the long words. These days most open source applications have a very simple way to compile and install from source code.

How to Compile programs

Puppy 2
If you're running a liveCD or frugal/poor-man's/option-1/coexist install, stick the devx file in /mnt/home, in the same directory as pup_save.3fs and co.

That's always been the way to do it with these installations. You only need to put it in root when using an option-2 full-hd install.

Now, if you've got a multisession, I don't know exactly how that works. I imagine the same as the option-2 setup.

If you do have one of the latter two, did you say you were putting it in /root? If so, and that doesn't work, try / instead. As in the actual root, not /root.

Prerequisites:

The Puppy liveCD does not come with the compilation tools. For that you will need the file devx_201.sfs. [Note that Puppy 2.00 requires devx_200.sfs, Puppy 2.01 requires devx_201.sfs, etc. This is the naming convention for all extra sqaushfs files that allows puppy to recognize them. Puppy 1 versions use usr_devx.sfs, which does not follow this convention.]
The devx_201.sfs is not a standard requirement in Linux. It is just a clever way Barry (Puppy's creator) found to package all the development tools in an easy to install package. This package includes the tools, libraries and header files required to compile applications.

To install the usr_devx.sfs do the following:

Go to this download page and download the devx_201.sfs (http://www.puppyos.com/test/∞) or (http://www.puppylinux.org/user/downloads.php?cat_id=12∞)

Copy the downloaded file to the same place where your pupxxx.sfs file is located (e.g. pup001.sfs for puppy 1, pup_200.sfs for puppy 2.00, pup_201.sfs for puppy 2.01...). Or in a Hard Drive installation to the / folder. Or in /root on a liveCD.

Reboot puppy.

or try this explanation

Puppy has a full gcc make/compile/link suite, available as a scrunched file system. It builds most Linux packages from source using the standard "./configure", "make", "make install" incantation.

The development environments for Puppy 2.00 and 1.xx are available at http://puppylinux.org/user/downloads.php?cat_id=12∞ . devx_201.sfs is at http://www.puppyos.com/test/∞ (and at my mirror page: http://s3.amazonaws.com/puppy/index.html∞ )

To use it, put the devx_xxx.sfs or usr_devx.sfs file in the same place as your pup_save file, and reboot.

Your application may have other dependencies. Make sure that those dependencies are present in Puppy or that you compile them before trying to compile the application. The ldd command is useful here. Google 'man ldd linux'. The command is available in Puppy, though the man page is not. As it displays a list of all packages required, and you are probably most interested in just those missing, try
ldd `which mplayer` |grep not

Note that the ` on each side of mplayer is a back quotes above the tab button, not regular single quotes. This tells it to run the ldd command on the results of the which command, so you don't have to first locate mplayer (in this example - replace mplayer with the program you wish to check dependencies for), the results of which are piped through the grep command which only lets through the results containing the word 'not'
Example with results:

ldd `which mplayer` |grep not
libsmbclient.so.0 => not found

Of course you could type in

ldd /etc/local/bin/mplayer

substituing your app and its path for /etc/local/bin/mplayer, and scan the resulting list manually (thanks for MU, or was it Lobster, who pointed out this simple trick... I like being lazy).

To Compile:

Download source of the application or driver you need:

It is usually recommended to download the stable version of the package. Only download the development or test versions if you really need them and know what you are doing.
Extract source from archive to a suitable location

Most if not all the applications sources come packaged. Use the appropriate command to extract the source.
It is Highly advisable to Extract the files to a new or empty folder.
e.g.
# mkdir /root/src
# mkdir /root/src/packageName
Then download the file to that folder
# cd /root/src/packageName
# tar -xvzf packageName.tar.gz
READ THE DOCUMENTATION INCLUDED IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE ESPECIALLY ANY INSTALL & README FILES
Open a terminal console (e.g. rxvt) and do the following:
- Change directories to the directory where you extracted the source code
  e.g. cd /root/src/<appName>
- Follow the compilation instructions included in the source package (README and INSTALL files)

....If you run into problems

1. Remember the INSTALL & README's ? They usually have addresses of mailing lists you can search
2. If you do not find the info you are after, try googling
3. If this fails and you have no ideas make a post to the relevant mailing list
4. If you get a reply and do not understand or you get no reply post to the puppy forums but please describe EXACTLY the errors you are getting, the version you are trying to compile, the steps you have taken so others may reproduce the same errors then be very very patient
5. PLEASE DON'T SAY "I CAN'T COMPILE XYZ" "IT DOESN'T WORK" OR ANY OTHER 3 WORD PROBLEM. If you won't help yourself don't expect others to do so.
6. Someone (other than me) make a suggestion that we should mayhaps start a wiki (do the wiki tiki!) on what we can compile in puppy and what we can't and any possible work arounds.
7. SelfHostingPuppy

Optimising

This little detail is not on the "compiling for puppy" but it's a fairly important one:

a lot of Makefiles will leave the "add debug symbol" option of gcc enabled (it's "-g"). This means that a alot of "text" information is added to your program to facilitate debugging, increasing the program file significanlty.

When you compile for puppy before typing make (but after the ./configure step if it's part of the compiling steps) you should open Makefile and look for a line that sets the C flags (usually CFLAGS = ....).

if the line include -g remove it and see how much space is gained. This will NOT change the behavior of the program.

There are other optimizations that can be enabled, such as changing the optimizer setting. I find of a lot of program use -O2 by default, changing it to -Os will usually make a smaller program. In theory changing optimizer settings should not change the behavior of your program, however it is possible that it can have subtle side effects that the original programmer didn't test for.

I'm really happy to see the source-sorcerer project, because now we can go in and check how each package was built, and make sure that each build is optimized.

AbiWord

oldwiki — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 17:44:31 -0500

Abiword

AbiWord is a free word processing program similar to Microsoft® Word, included in Puppy.

It is suitable for a wide variety of word processing tasks. AbiWord is able to read and write all industry standard document types, such as OpenOffice.org documents, Microsoft Word documents, WordPerfect documents, Rich Text Format documents, HTML web pages and many more.

Extra features can be added by downloading and installing plug-ins∞.

AbiWord home page∞

Other Info

NOTICE: For Puppy 1.0.7 official version live-CD, most of the Abiword add-ons are in the live-CD, nothing extra to
install. The live-CD includes the American spelling dictionary, however you can add other languages, see below. Links
Grammar (for the grammar checking plugin) and gtkmathview (for the
equation editing plugin) are not in the official live-CD -- these have to be added, see below.

WWW docs: www.abisource.com/help/en-US/

Spell checking

README,
spellchecking and templates.

For spellchecking, download a Abispell dictionary from the Abiword
download website http://www.abisource.com/download/abispell.phtml
and place it in /root/.AbiSuite/dictionary/. (N.B. The links under "GZipped for....LittleEndian" are to the sourceforge download sites)
You will have to uncompress the download file and you should have two files,
for example american.hash and american.hash-encoding.
See the above README for more details on getting spellchecking to work.

Note that you will need to go into "Edit -> Preferences..." to enable spellchecking as you type.

NOTICE: Puppy 1.0.6 official version has the American dictionary "built-in", located at
/usr/local/share/AbiSuite-2.4/dictionary/american.hash.

Grammar checking

Abiword has a grammar-checking plugin, however the Links Grammar
package has to be installed for it to work. Run the PupGet package
manager (see Setup menu) to install Links Grammar. Note, the Links
Grammar package is named link_grammar-4.1.3.
After installing Links Grammar, start Abiword, then go to "Edit -> Preferences..." menu and turn on grammar checking.

NOTICE: Puppy version 1.0.6 official live-CD includes Links Grammar,
so grammar checking is immediately functional, however, you still have
to enable it in the Preferences. Puppy 1.0.7 and later does not have it in the live-CD.

Equation editing

This is new to the 2.4 series. It is a plugin, named AbiMathView, and it requires the gtkmathview package.
It is not WYSIWYG editing, as you have to enter a Latex equation, so you would need to become familiar with basic Latex syntax.

gtkmathview is a package that can be installed with the PupGet
package manager (see Setup menu). You need to install two packages,
libt1-1.3.1 (Type1 font rasteriser, used by gtkmathview -- actually, I
think this package is optional) and gtkmathview-0.7.5.

NOTICE: Puppy version 1.0.6 official live-CD includes gtkmathview
package, so equation editing is ready-to-go "out of the box". Puppy
1.0.7 and later does not have it in the live-CD.

Note, if you want WYSIWYG MathML equation editing, install Amaya,
which is a HTML editor. Again, this is a PupGet package, package name
amaya-8.8.1.

Fonts

When you first start Abiword, you will see that the default font is Times
New Roman, however, if you go to the font-selection list-box, you will see
that Times New Roman is not a choice. When Abiword starts, it reads the file
/root/.AbiSuite/templates/normal.awt, or if that doesn't exist Abiword falls
back to reading /usr/local/share/AbiSuite-2.4/templates/normal.awt. File
normal.awt is the default document template, and this file specifies the
default font.

What is happening here is that Times New Roman is a MS Windows TrueType
font, not in Puppy, so Abiword substitutes the closest that it can find, in
this case, Nimbus Roman No9 L.

Note, if you have changed a selection of text to something and you want to
change it back to the default Times New Roman, just highlight the text and
choose "Normal" text style from the leftmost listbox.

Note, the advantage of using the generic name Times New Roman is for
portability. If you create a document using Abiword in Puppy, if the document
is opened in MS Windows then Times New Roman will be used and Windows won't
have to try and guess what to use in place of Nimbus Roman No9 L.

If you want to use the actual MS TrueType fonts, not substitutes, no
problem. Do this:

Use the Puppy pmount program (in the File Managers menu) and mount the
Windows C: drive.
Create this folder: /root/.fonts/
Copy font files from C:\windows\fonts\ folder to /root/.fonts/
folder.

Note that MS Windows has four basic fonts that are in all versions of
Windows, right back to 3.x. They are Arial (proportional, no serifs), Times
New Roman (proportional, with serifs), Courier New (nonproportional, that is,
equal spacing between characters), and Dingbats (symbols). For each of these,
you need to copy four files -- there is a file for normal, italic, bold, and
bold-italic.

After doing that, restart Abiword, and the fonts will be available.

NOTICE: Puppy 1.0.5+ may automatically create a link from
/root/.fonts to C:\windows\fonts\ at first bootup. If this has happened
for you, then you will automatically have all the Windows TTF fonts
available. If you do not want this behaviour (there was a report on the
forum that some Windows TTF fonts don't work right in Puppy), then
delete /root/.fonts and instead create a directory /root/.fonts and
then only place in it the TTF fonts that you want to use in Puppy.

Plugins

There are many plugins available for Abiword, available from the Abiword
web site.

Puppy has various plugins installed. Plugins are to be found in the
/usr/local/lib/AbiWord-2.4/plugins/ folder.
You can add plugins there, but they will get removed at a Puppy-version upgrade. But, you
can place further plugins into the /root/.AbiSuite/AbiWord-2.4/plugins/
folder.

You should not have to compile plugins yourself. You should be able to
find precompiled plugins via the Abiword website. They must be compatible
with the current version of Abiword, which is 2.4.1. If an Abiword plugin is
a .tar.gz file, you will have to extract the files.
Alternatively, if the plugin is an RPM file, the files can also be extracted
-- see instructions for doing this on the Puppy web site, Developer's
Page.

NOTICE: Puppy 1.0.6 (and later) official live-CD has a large collection of plugins, probably all you would want.

can I do preformatted text?

#!/bin/sh
cd /mnt/hda5/photos
for FILE in * do
echo $FILE
convert -geometry 160x128 "$FILE" "/root/ipod-160x128/$FILE"
done

This is a test

so is this

I don't think that I can refer to a user like this hairywill freelinking isn't able to find users so you have to do [ [http://www.puppylinux.org/users/hairywill|hairywill] ], ie hairywill, most irritating

can you tell the difference ? Template for announcing Puplet release in the forum:

hopefully a script can do a lot of these tasks automatically. In the meantime, here's my idea for a template for announcing a release in the forum (with text in capitals to be replaced with info specific to your puplet):

[size=16][b]Wobbly NOP 0.2[/b][/size]
Wobbly NOP v0.2 is a modified version of Gray's NOP and it includes the Compiz-Fusion compositing 3D window manager, for those "wobbly" effects. :-D
It's based on Puppy NOP 3.01 r2 which uses the Xfce desktop environment (4.4.2) and the Opera web browser/internet suite. NOP itself is release-quality, but Wobbly NOP is still being worked on. This is the second test release for people willing to experiment and give feedback.

Barry's Blog

This is for the blog of puppy creator Barry Kauler and is a good way of keeping in touch with the latest developments being worked on for an official release.

Barry's Blog

RSS Readers

In case you don't use RSS (Really Simple Syndication) already here is a very quick explanation and a list of ways of using RSS known to work in Puppy. RSS is a very simple way of keeping abreast of news from many different places. Each feed contains a number of short articles that are updated regularly and contain links to full articles. You can set your reader to automatically download a feed at regular intervals and make you aware of any new items. Because your reader automatically checks for new articles you do not need to provide an email address and you can unsubscribe simply by changing the your settings or deleting the feed. For more info see www.rssday.org.

Below is a list of readers with instructions on how to use them. It would be good if someone added instructions for installing these in Puppy.

Working Laptops

Hardware

Acer aspire 1350:
Puppy 1.0.2 - sound card doesn't work.
Puppy 1.0.3 - reboots instead of shut down, sound card works, couldn't get cd burner to work properly.

Acer aspire 1355XC, 256MB RAM/XP-M2600+:
Puppy 1.0.7 - sound OK, DVD playback poor, (may be disc), wireless with PCMCIA D-link DWL-610 OK, not tried CD writing.

Acer Aspire 1613LMi: 3.06GHz 512MB, video & sound working right off (also 1400x1050). Only one CPU is recognized with defaut kernel.

Acer Travelmate 240:I was able to boot 1.0.7 on an ACER Travelmate 240 using the built-in Ethernet (wire) but had to run the Ethernet config wizard. The mouse pad works when configured as a PS/2 (no wheel emulation) and video operates at 1024x768-24.

AJP 2100P: P2-300/256MB/4GB.

AST Acenia M Series: 233mhz/64meg Ram/3.2 HD/CDrom/Ext Floopy/Netgear FA511 using tupil driver. Working (sound not-working Crystal CS4237) Puppy make it run.

ASUS L8400B: 550MHz Celeron, 192MB ram, DVD drive, 20GB HDD, USB mouse. Aureal 8810 sound does not work (Aureal went broke).

Compaq Armada 1500c: Works fine, but no sound :( I guess it doesn't recognize the soundcard. [Add snd-es1688 to /etc/modules.]

Compaq Armada M700: Everything works except for the keyboard mouse pointer (NaNoWriMo Linux built on Puppy).

Compaq Evo N 11O: I found that it was effective for booting from a USB CD WRITER using the wakeup program.. It managed to find my usb sandisk 128MB but refused to boot from it.

Compaq Presario 17XL7xx: 750MHz 384MB RAM blah blah blah, everything works good :)
Compaq Presario 1277: 192 meg ram sharing 8 meg for video (maxed out)

Cheap usb hub allowing the 1.1 usb to run the following:
Logitech usb optical mouse with working scroll wheel
Liteon 52-32-52 cd r-rw-w burner (suppose to run on usb2.0 so it burns slowly, but hasn't missed yet)
80 gig usb hdd
A half gig usb flash drive also works

From puppy v2.10 on have been able to do full hdd installs (v2.02 hdd install would not boot)

you may be interested in the new wvdial package in 1.0.3.

Try this:

# wvdialconfig /etc/wvdial.conf

...i'm not sure it that will work while modem is in use, you may have to disconnect first.

that checks out your modem, creates the config file, you then use "wvdial" (console app) to connect to internet.

Look at Help menu for further details.
@$^&*, in JWM, Wvdial isn't in the Help menu
-- well, use Rox, it's at /usr/share/doc/wvdial-1.42/.

I would like to get feedback on how well it works.
Also, how well its auto-generated initialisation string works.

"My conclusion is simple: After using every single major Linux distribution without exception and most of the minor and or mini Linux distributions besides, including all of the Live CD Linux distributions that I could find on Distrowatch, including Knoppix and KANOTIX with their respective offshoots, and after testing and using and liking FreeBSD and OpenBSD right out of the box, I can say that Puppy Linux got me on the Internet faster than any other Linux or Windows OS that I have ever used. Period. Full stop." JT
