burned iso to usb
it boots from usb
but cannot find the sfs file
and drops to the ramdrive shell
the file however is on the usb
however this is just tweaking
so now jamesbond's puppy
is the base of this project

important announcement
jamesbond has been so gracious to write a small woof-ce
just what i have been whining about all these years
i have run it and it works
it will now be the base of this project
i will post the iso in the repository for people to play with
i will name it puppy1.iso

i burned puppy1.iso to a cd
it boots and can startx
but its internet wizard doesnt work
however this gives us a complete base to work with
i will start looking at how to combine various parts together
so we can fix the usb and the internet stuff

hi all
i suggest that if you are interested
you might run jamebonds woof-ce
it is very fast and simple to use
just like we always asked for
remember you have to change the /bin/dash to /bin/sh
to get it to run
i have to find the file again
but if you run it it will fail at that point

so here is the plan
we will learn jamesbonds system
and then figure out how to replace components
so we can change the components it uses
and build a hybrid system
we will then be able to use it to build whatever puppy we want
and develop it as needed

It is using slapt-get from slackware and there seems to be some missing firmware my wireless network card isn't there.

yes darry
i couldnt connect to the internet either
i am going to try to substitute different modules
for the ones in the folders
and see if we can add and subtract stuff
then we should be able to put more up to date stuff in

hi all
unfortunately after analyzing jamesbonds woof-ce
i have come to the conclusion that that kind of a system
cannot produce the kind of distro i envision
it is a neat system
and very fast and easy to use
but like all woof-ce clones it weaves all the pieces together
this is incompatible with a modular system
so i will go back to the system that i devised
which is a modular approach
that means that upupbb32 will once again be the base of this project
and a1.iso and a2.iso will be what we are working on
i do however want to thank jamesbond for making his woof-ce available
and for inspiring this project
and for all his help and support
i will correct the first post to reflect this

hi all
this is an announcement that this project
will support 2 alternative build systems for puppy
1. my modular build system
which builds a modular puppy
2. and jamesbonds woof-ce next
which builds a standard puppy
i will need help to develop both
so if you are interested
please post on this thread
have a nice day

hi all
i my opinion the key to making jamesbonds woof-ce next
more manageable
is to make is search for a smaller repository of components
just the puppy woof-ce repository
then we wouldnt have to be concerned
with the constantly changing big distros
we could then over time build a small repository
just for jamesbonds woof-ce next
with just the stuff we wanted
we could access components from other distros
and make them into woof-ce next components
and put them in the woof-ce next repository for our use later
this is what i am trying to do now
any help would be appreciated

You mean just convert the core of what we need from another distro into a pet and put it into a new repository?

hi a243a
yes just take any component of any system
convert it into a pet and put it in
the jamesbond woof-ce next repository
then have his system load it into a puppy
that way you can make the puppy a combination of all systems
and you wouldnt have to worry about
keeping up with the changes of the big distros
that is what i am trying to figure out how to do now

Isn't that big for barebones?

yeah foxpup
but thats just a start
we will get it down to a minimal system
and using sfs files and the pets
we can make it modular
wanderer
pkg or puppy build

We can already install .deb .txz .rpm ... to Puppy. Or is this not what you mean with 'components of any system'?
Should we not consider to compile in the base Puppy, instead of having a repository?
In that case petbuilds in woof CE could be interesting.
But even more so
Pkg from sc0ttman, one of the best things created in Puppyland on the last years:
Pkg - CLI package manager
Just my idea.

Okay, I will try to build and look inside to understand.
Wish me luck
