I'm remastering Puppy, and I'd like to keep most of the filesystem hidden from the users.
Example: etc becomes .etc ?
Or will this cause problems?

Are there any special consequences with Option 2?

Oh, I have a Voodoo Blaster Banshee!

But I'll only be able to test it on thursday (too busy with my exams). Sorry!

I had that problem too.
I think it's because you have to clean out the subdirectories in your puppy-unleashed directory first (if you've done a remaster before).

I could be wrong, of course

I'm still in school: last year of high school (or secondary school, isn't that what they call it in England?). Next year, I'm going to university to study civil engineering.

Wait... Was I supposed to choose the version that I was using, or the version I started with?

It would be great if someone could do this
*looks around*

Sorry, but I'm not up to the job (maybe in about a year from now), I don't really know any scripting

Well, I just figured, since it can be installed on gentoo (a from-source distro), it could be put on puppy too.
Guess I'm wrong

I've read several posts in the Gentoo forum about using the Knoppix hardware detections (and this wiki post ; press Ctrl+F and type hwdata-knoppix). I was wondering if it would be possible to put the Knoppix hardware detection in Puppy Linux. It's just a suggestion of course (and I fear it might ...

Mmm... Well, I guess I'll need to have a close look at the Puppy Media Utility Tool, so nobody will have problems with using floppies (For this project, I'm assuming most users will not have a lot of computer knowledge.)

I've thought about it, but decided not to go with a multisession CD (at least not for now). A lot of old computers don't have CD writers, so that would be a problem. Also, if I understood correctly (haven't looked into this matter yet), it's possible to save the pup001 file to USB. In other words ...

Accomplishments: *A first version is under construction: -Maximum size 60 Mb -Limited menu options (to concentrate mostly on writing) -No games (This could be either a good or a bad decision. In the future, a version with games (definitely including GNUchess) will be released as well). Goals ...

That was me. Apparently, I wasn't logged in

Well, I'd prefer to do a non-multisession puppy.
A multisession requires at least 128 Mb RAM, and a lot of people (I'm making it mostly for www.nanowrimo.org) write on very old computers.

I'm planning to make a Linux distribution for writers (based on Puppy). If someone could make such a thing, it would be great for writers to back up their stuff on a good server (gmail, yahoo...).

When loading Knoppix in VMWare., it mentions all of my normal hardware. The only thing different is the hard drive (it's a virtual hard drive).
In other distributions, the hard drive is called sda1. Perhaps that's why it can't be detected by puppy?

Wooh! Go, GNUChess! That package is definitely going on my remastering (well, once it has a graphical interface, anyway).

I'm trying to get Puppy to work on VMWare, but it doesn't seem to work out.
I've formatted the virtual hard drive as ext3, but get errors.

1. Puppy can't find the harddrive.
2. Puppy can't find usr_cram.fs

It's rather annoying and I don't know how to fix it

Isn't it possible to put it in this forum then?

Hello, everybody! I'm new here, and perhaps it's a bit early to make suggestions to your forum already, but I'll make one anyway ;-) How about a 'Remastering' subforum? A place where people could share their ideas about remastering puppy, about adding programs, editing config files and letting puppy ...
