Litepup-2.14 (62.2 MB) - available to dowload
firefox 2.0.0.3.pup doesn't work - missing libs!
Hi Todd. Just tested litepup 2.14 in qemu. After installing your firefox pup.
I realized, that firefoy can't work, because a couple off libs are missing..
(ldd /usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin)
Do you have a fix.pup to install the missing libs..?
Thanks, Peter

Have fun :)
found and solved firefox problem..
ok. Missing libs are in /usr/local/firefox
But were not found from dynamic linker.
Solution:
edit /etc/ld.so.conf
insert a line to point to the directory where the libs are:
/usr/local/firefox
save.
execute ldconfig once.
Than I found out, that defaultbrowser didn't work..
Solution:
right click on desktop icon. file browser. select open as text.
edit the line with:
exec firefox "$@"
to read:
exec /usr/local/firefox/firefox "$@"
Hope that helps,
Peter

Bit embarassed to ask... but...
I am recently new to Puppy2.14, and think it's great on my laptop (256MB RAM). I am looking to install a minimalist Puppy-based setup on a separate 64MB RAM laptop for a friend, with just Opera, AbiWord, mtpaint, java, flash, MUT, ROX, rxvt terminal, Pfind, a text editor and a pdf viewer. I may also need Gxine and LinNeighbourhood, but that will depend on how much these apps slow the OS down. I appreciate I will need to install all of these manually onto Lite (except AbiWord and mtpaint), but presume that installer packages exist somewhere for all these apps. Or perhaps I could just copy directories from my current installation?
My friend will, however, still need some of the Setup stuff, like Network Wizard, Xorg/Xvesa wizard, and wonder whether these have also been stripped out of PuppyLite? If so, I think it would remove the user-friendliness that attracted me to Puppy (from XP) would be lost, and perhaps he would be better off with a base Puppy, accepting that he may have a few installed apps he doesn't want (particularly SeaMonkey).
Any help?

ugm,
i have a laptop using LitePup 2.14 with 64mb -- ThinkPad 560x -- that's been setup fairly close to what you describe.
right now i'm outside, listening to an old Little Feat concert via Opera 9.02 w/ flash. i've also installed Ghostview, GParted, Gxine and GAIM. the first two work fine, but though i get video -- and as you can tell by the fact i'm listening to a concert, my sound card is recognized and works -- i've yet to get any audio with either Gxine or GAIM.
fwiw, i'm a relative Linux neophyte and so far only the sound has been an issue for me. excepting for the Java --i don't believe 64mb is enough memory, so i didn't even try -- and possible hardware issues, i don't think you'll have many problems.
btw, you will want/need a swapfile or swap partition. though i prolly should have made it for less -- with that little ram you don't want too large a swap partition because it will beat up your hard drive, physically -- i used Gparted to resize and then make a swap partition of 128mb. now i'm pondering making it smaller.
good luck to ya,
rich

barelypup
Try looking for barelypup at archive.org.
Safepup should show, too, which has more applications than barelypup.

zdrive, sfs-on-the-fly, modularity
It is unbelievable that in puppy 2.13 times the discussion about modularity, small core in combination with SFS on the fly has happened, and now (almost 7 years later) we are doing the same.... and again.... if no-one has the balls to say "this is the way... period"... we'll see each other in 7 years again on the same topic.
What a waste of talent and time.... Puppy could have been so much more.
Sad....

Basically - probably.What a waste of talent and time
But in detail not really a waste of talent and time.

I'm somehow hopefully not too annoying.sunburnt wrote:Volhout and I just keep saying the same things... We need to move forward.
But talk/saying is probably not enough, one just has to do so.
And this is what I'm constantly doing.
Check this out, install as described and give it a go.

Just use the puppy you want (except FatDog).
A lot of talk and saying has been there for a while, but has immediately stopped. Though, those who did SAY/TALK to do some tests did not return to this and neither any further reply has been posted nor any test results have returned.
As long as people do just talk and say and then just leave immediately if there would be something to do (in this case some tests), as such long there will be no moving forward.
Pity. Really really pity.

Any chance this Pup can be revived
I'm hoping a 2.14 Puppy can be revived, with support for XP going soon there should be something like 2.14 relaunched with Support to run those older machines and keep stuff like that from landfill.
Hoping to see this happen!

There ya go..2.14 lives on .... I find puppy 4 gives similar performance to XP and would give better support for such as wifi than 2.14...just another option.
Don't worry too much about XP...I still have 2000 as our default windows and only have recently had problems with software being sabotaged by Microsofts Developement Kits. XP is still too popular to be dumped that quick and many business users don't want to be spending out large sums changing hardware and software to 7.
