Yes, latest Xorg servers need udev but as I know, It can be configured/compiled without udev.

The rc.shutdown is very much simpler than some of the puppy shutdown scripts I have been looking at recently. Where would you use this? Is it taken from another distro or would it work in a cutdown puppy? I use this in my own "pocket Linux", most things are written from scratch but some i...

Looking at the mdev scripts, I see a couple things... 1. mdev.conf is missing this section (from examples/mdev_fat.conf in the busybox source): # Syntax: # [-]devicename_regex user:group mode [>|=path] [@|$|*cmd args...] # # =: move, >: move and create a symlink # @|$|*: run $cmd on delete, @cmd on...

PANZERKOPF: Never got mdev working...tried you scripts (deactivated udevd in init), run rc.mdev afterlogin. Had to add groups disk, uucp, cdrom and video. Then only minor warnings running mdev -s or rc.mdev. But no drivers loaded afterwards... When to launch rc.mdev? Do you need additional scripts/...

Speaking of udev, it has grown into a behemoth, and the things it does _can_ be simple. Agree. I'll probably try to patch toybox's mdev instead. Busybox already has mdev, it can be used as simple udev replacement. I made some scripts and mdev.conf file (Idea was borrowed from Alpine linux). One pro...

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-debug=yes Note "--enable-debug=yes" increases a size of compiled binary. The default option is "--enable-debug=minimal" but if we want to get a smallest binary, we must use "--enable-debug=no". This also true for GTK...

I was wondering if XP PRO has to be installed on the first partition as long as it is formatted NTFS. Is that so? I keep getting a blue screen with some kind of error that XP Pro was unable to install. Here is my setup on my laptop. This happens because You haven't any primary active partition with...

One of the things that makes Xorg a necessity is all of the manual kernel command line interaction by the user that is needed to set the resolution of the frame buffer. It seems there is another way to get a working framebuffer. Kernel has several framebuffer modules for particular videocards (nvid...

Note 1 : Every MODEM seems to have its own registers and commands, so it is probably the best to adjust to the needs, especially the "dangerous_func" . Hi Karl ! As far as I know, every modem has Hayes compatibile commands and as option - some extended commands. Also, some modems have own...

I hope that is what you want.

PANZERKOPF as most assembler progs for linux I have seen are a factor 5-10 smaller than the normal Not only for linux. Assembler progs are always faster and smaller than same written in other language but have one big disadvantage: they are not portable. Also, If you like assembler, play with Kolib...

Another small tools for mentioned above purposes:
Rman - standalone man page converter (converts man to html or plain text)
asm-toys - multicall tool, includes simple cdplayer
asmutils - coreutils,util-linux, netutils, shell and some other tools including cda2raw

I need my app. to write a script file, but the shell always runs. it. I need $SQ_EXT, $MENU, $pkgN evaluated, all other variables as literals. Maybe "one string - one echo" is better solution? echo '#!/bin/sh' > $mntPT/SqApp/bin/$pkgN echo "MntPt=/SqApp/mnt/${pkgN}" >> $mntPT/Sq...

Mplayer can play 3gp files. Maybe Puppy's mplayer was compiled without opencore-amr

Maybe vga=ask is that universal parameter?
Vga=normal means usual console without framebuffer but Xvfb needs ready framebuffer before starting.

How do I create simlink? ln -s /path/file /path/simlink For example, if your real device is /dev/sr0 : rm /dev/cdrom (remove broken simlink) ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom (create new simlink) or with single command: ln -s -f /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom (remove broken simlink then create new)
