TazPup64-PreAlpha-17.iso (See post)
Latest .vdi file (for virtualbox and other virtualization/emulationtools):
TazPup64-PreAlpha-17.vdi (see post)
Older Info
I think we're getting close to alpha quality with TazPup64-PreAlpha-15
Some notes, the ISO will automatically log you into tux in the lxde desktop. On the bottom left (in the panel) there is a red logout/shutdown/reboot button that looks like the power symbol. If you click on it you can log out and then log in as root in the jwm desktop. The password for root is "root".
To use gparted you must install gtkmm.
Code: Select all
tazpkg get-install gtkmm
The puppy universal installer works. I verified after installing and creating a save file that tux still works but I think there is a catch. If you install any software (e.g. gtkmm) in the pfx=ram mode then creating a save file might mess up the permissions for non root users. Therefore if you install any software in pfx=ram mode then you should first reboot without creating a save file, and then after rebooting create a save file before installing any packages.
Further notes on why not to install any packages before creating a save file can be found in the following post:

And if you disregard this advice, then notes on how to fix the save file after the fact can be found in the following post:

A .vdi (virtual disk image) for virtualbox is available for this release (see post) but I will be doing further updates to it before the next release.
There is no recent buildkit but an older version of the buildkit is referenced in the following post:

The password for root is root. Both spot and tux have a zero length passwords (almost equivalent to having no password but this gets around restrictions in the pam package).
If you login with the screen=text option (equivalent to pfx=nox) then you can start jwm with the command:
Code: Select all
startx_jwm
Code: Select all
startlxde
Code: Select all
/etc/xdg/autostart
Edit 1 To see the rox desktop in jwm for some reason you have to first log in as root, and then "Exit to Prompt" and restart the desktop with the command:
Code: Select all
startx_jwm
