Just some quick notes to make thing clearer.
Arch Linux is rolling release, but ArchPup is not, it uses packages from rollback machine and
fixed date 2012/04/30. You could make it rolling release by changing /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist,
but I would not suggest that, it could break your system, ask you to download 500MB of
packages etc.
New version will be 12.12, it's finished, but has some problems with udev (surprise
)
not loading modules, that needs some investigating. For this release I had to recompile pango
and downgrade it to 1.30.1, to eliminate dependency on harfbuzz and icu or else it would add
7MB to iso. New openbox-menu package don't have option to hide menu icons, and sometimes
it just freeze openbox, mouse is not functional and only option is to change to tty2 and reboot.
For problems with save file on USB, I will need some help from experienced users, simply
because I can't fix it myself. You see that rc.shutdown in ArchPup is very different than in other
Puppy, my idea is to, from that file with if statement (PUPMODE=13) call other script and
make savefile (add data to it) only on reboot/shutdown, if someone needs to save on USB .
New version 12.12-alpha will be released when this is fixed, or maybe it will be 13.01, I'm not sure.
