Same here, even before woof and deb support in ppm I used to manually download stuff from deb repos and dependencies and then undeb / deb2pet them or if it's large number of deps just undeb and merge all of them and make one package, that's how I made amarok sfs back on 4.x series from debs.

BTW, this one still work on dpup 485:
amarok-1.4.10-lite-dpup_484.sfs 33 MBs

Any plans for an dpup barebones?
That would be neat to have one.

I started working on a Debian Testing dpup, I need a good testing ground for new ideas I have.

If it's any good, I'll upload it and make some good packages you can use too.

New idea: make a barebones one from the start! Then maybe a sfs for standard apps that come with puppy and browser chooser?

Once I stripped 484's sfs down to about 112 MB but I removed almost all apps with only dillo as browser. It could be stripped further but didn't know what libs to remove.

Yep, that's the idea - I want a barebones dpup so I can build all apps using build scripts and make it a rolling-release, upgradeable Puppy by design.

iguleder and dejan555

I really like what I am reading here, a puppy with packages compiled for individual machines, good luck

Iguleder,
That idea of puppizard looks nice.
Would it generate the application inside the save file or is/will there be a possibility to create a sfs?

Good news, dejan555 - I was able to build a working barebones dpup at ~80 MB, no apps except JWM and ROX-Filer. The kernel is 2.6.32.42, since 2.6.32.43 failed to build on Lupu. I'm going to give it another try, but on dpup, because I like its GCC better

Now I'm running Puppizard to build all the latest Puppy apps, fonts and E17. I might upload it if it's any good.

It seems very very very snappy, Opera flies on my cheap netbook. Too bad I can't measure its RAM usage, I left Pprocess out

EDIT: forgot to mention - I stripped about ~10-15 MB of unneeded libraries and leftovers and had to fix X, because it couldn't start with a vanilla Woof.

EDIT 2: goot stuff! Built E17 and all its dependencies - now I'm doing a fixed build with things like git working (they were broken earlier), without any apps except E17, Opera and Aterm

That's cool Iguleder.
dpup's devx should be good, I managed to build kernel with your kernel build script on 485 and also compiled git.
I was wondering if you can still build from lenny repos with woof? A barebones lenny dpup would be cool, then I would update gtk and stuff I did for 485 and that would be good base for older PCs.

Theoretically it's possible, but the main problem is the old packages. Many package templates were altered to suit things like Xorg 7.5, so you'll have to go a very long way to sort out all problems the old packages being.

I'm uploading my barebones dpup at the moment, I think it's really nice.

Iguleder · #112 Post by **Iguleder** » Sat 23 Jul 2011, 07:37

dejan555, I'm uploading a huge bunch of dpup packages built on Squeeze to here. It's pretty much all the traditional Puppy desktop (plus the artwork and all nice stuff we had in Puppy Squeeze), with nice extras and lighter/smaller alternatives. They should work well with 485 too

Now I'm working on ffmpeg, I want to get ffmpeg, xine and gxine so I can upload something equivalent to Puppy Squeeze 010

So far it's 100 MB with DRI, Opera and all these packages, but without the multimedia stack. All I need is to get those to work and I think it's ready to be tagged as dpup 5.0 beta

And btw - it consumes 47 MB when you first reach the desktop, according to LXTask ... go dpup!

dejan555 · #113 Post by **dejan555** » Sat 23 Jul 2011, 07:39

Cool, I might try e17 on 485

Iguleder · #114 Post by **Iguleder** » Sat 23 Jul 2011, 07:51

Oh, forgot to mention - I want to rebuild the fonts SFS (the one with the 100 fonts) and the LibreOffice SFS. Can't do this at the moment, since my netbook is busy compiling both the kernel (2.6.32.43, vanilla) and ffmpeg at the same time

If I find time, I'll rebuild BlueZ, Linux-PAM, Lua and E17.

Why can i not get write-access to my ntfs drive partition.
The same in Dpup-Macpup. (not possible to delete something for example)

Can anybody help?

dejan555 · #116 Post by **dejan555** » Sat 30 Jul 2011, 18:47

ntfs in 485 worked just fine here. (Not having ntfs partition anymore but it worked just fine)

Can you pleeeez make this a 64 bit version as I needed a debian puppy for my 64 bit system.

dejan555 · #118 Post by **dejan555** » Sun 21 Aug 2011, 14:21

Sorry, but no. You should still be able to run it on 64-bit machine, but if you really want a 64-bit system take a look at fatdog 64, I believe that's the only 64-bit puppy at the moment.

treken · #119 Post by **treken** » Sun 21 Aug 2011, 14:31

So I can use the apt-get command in your distro?

treken · #120 Post by **treken** » Sun 21 Aug 2011, 14:44

Also, if I can use apt-get command in your distro, is there a way to get it to work in fat dog?
