DebianDog-Squeeze on github.
==========================================
My thanks to Daniel Baumann! DebianDog wouldn't exist without his work.
=========================================
DebianDog-Squeeze is downgraded DebianDog-Wheezy.
Read DebianDog-Wheezy first post for more information about the system setup.
Same Utilities thread, same HowTo thread.
It is not Puppy linux and it has nothing to do with Puppy based on Debian.
Downloading DebianDog be ready to learn different package manager and different system setup in Debian manner.
DebianDog has tools similar to Puppy. You can create easy separate squashfs modules and remaster the system with all personal changes.
You can even use/convert pet packages and sfs files from Puppy but it is not recommended if you like to keep well working apt-get/Synaptic package manager (which is the main advantage using DebianDog).
More or less it is the same as DebianDog-Wheezy with the same programs and the same boot methods and save file options but using Debian Squeeze repository. Maybe will be more suitable for someone with old hardware.
Runs well and fast on P-III 600Mhz, 128Mb RAM + 500Mb SWAP file.
====================================
Three boot methods available.
Make your boot choice and you can delete 2 initrd files to save 15 Mb space from the system size.
Never use the same /live folder name for more DebianDog frugal install on different partitions. Use different folder name for more DebianDog frugal install. You will find information and example boot codes in the links below for each boot method.
==================================
DebianDog is set to autologin as root. If you like to use it as multiuser system it is recommended to start XDM login manager.
Just type in terminal xdm-start and reboot. xdm-stop will reverse back autologin as root.
Login details:
root with password root
puppy with password puppy
Check for updated iso images here first.
Download link:
1. DebianDog-Squeeze-hybrid-30.04.2016.iso - 147 Mb
Mirror1
Default WM - JWM with option to switch to IceWM.
Default File Manager - XFE with option to use Rox.
Default Internet Browser - Dillo.
md5sum
Code: Select all
root@debian:~# uname -a
Linux debian 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-486 #1 Debian 3.2.57-3+deb7u2~bpo60+1 i686 GNU/Linux
Archive DebianDog-Squeeze repository:
http://smokey01.com/saintless/DebianDog ... /Packages/
To test DebianDog for first time you need to burn it on CD and boot from it, or use DebDog-Squeeze-installer ( click here to download and extract the archive - working from most linux systems) to make frugal install to HDD, USB or SD-card. Or extract /live folder on top of a partition or USB and add boot code in grub menu.lst. Read the text file inside.
DebianDog-Squeeze iso is changed to iso-hybrid and you can make bootable usb from it using dd command. This option is for users with more experience and makes the usb partition with DebianDog files read-only without option to replace the included boot menu with custom menu entry.
Hybrid-iso to usb example using /dev/sdb flash drive posted here.
It is recommended to use DebianDog-Squeeze-installer working on most linux systems ( click here to download and extract the archive ) instead using dd command to create bootable usb.
To keep the size small as possible all /usr/share/locale files for the included packages are moved in separate squashfs module (03-squeeze-locale.squashfs) available for download from sfs-get or from here.
In case you like to change the localization install locales and load the module or place it inside /live/image/live to be loaded at boot time.
You can also install localepurge and copy only the language files you need from the squashfs module in /usr/share/locale directory to save space in the future.
More information about changing localization read here, here and here.
Included menu-openbox from Fred with localisation support (the default menu displays categories and menu entries only in English). In case you like to change the localisation type menu-openbox in terminal or start it from System -> Menu Openbox.
Included clearRAM script in case you have very old machine (128 - 256Mb RAM).
Run it in terminal from time to time and the system will work faster. For example this is the result running the script after fresh boot without starting any applications (256Mb RAM computer):
Code: Select all
clearRAM
This script will clear cached memory and free up your ram.
At the moment you have 110 MiB cached and 34 MiB free memory.
This freed 128 MiB, so now you have 162 MiB of free RAM.
===============================================
Changes from DebianDog-Wheezy version:
1. Default web browser Dillo.
2. New make encrypted save file utility available from menu entry.
3. Pup-volume-monitor changed.
4. Gnome-mplayer-1.0.7 replaced with Gmplayer-4.6.3-SVN-r32666
5. Some scripts changes to work in squeeze.
6. Yad replaced with older 0.19 version.
7. Different gtkdialog binary (Pburn wasn't working with default gtkdialog from Wheezy).
8. PicDrop desktop icon removed (it doesn't work in squeeze).
9. Compression changed from xz to gzip for the main module, all extra modules for download and remstering scripts. The iso now is 40Mb bigger just because this compression type change but works fast and well on very old hardware. You can still use, load, boot, create xz compressed modules from DebianDog-Squeeze if it is needed.
10. Older version of sfs-get-smokey-get without elinks as dependency. Loading the site content slower but saves 12Mb space.
11. RemasterDog and RemasterCow moded with extra cleaning in /var/run needed for Squeeze.
12. No systemd boot options (systemd is not available in squeeze repository).

Original first post - all old base iso files moved here so no need to read further. I prefer not to remove this information because the first few pages posts are connected to the old base iso versions.
This is something I made for my needs and might be of interest for others.

Thanks to Smokey01 we have permanent home:

It is only testing version of cleaned Debian Squeeze 6.0.8 Live CD.
Special thanks to JBV for his guidance and magic tricks I learn from him and to Sickgut for opening my eyes to Debian Live project.
Light-Debian-Core-Test.iso uses kernel 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-686-pae
Xserver-xorg-core, JWM, H3V web browser, XFE file manager, ZIP archiver, ALSA, WVDial, Wireless-tools, Wpasupplicant, Squashfs-tools supporting xz compression, modified part of filemnt puppy linux script to mount SFS, Squashfs and ISO files with single click (new window opens and after closing the file is auto-unmounted). There is Mount-Drives menu included for mounting HDD, USB and optical drives (also with scripts).
Wired internet connection should work without issues. Unfortunately I can't test wireless connection.
To use apt-get first run in terminal:
Code: Select all
apt-get update
The system is configured not to install suggested packages. To download suggested packages rename or delete /etc/apt/apt.conf file and run apt-get update. There is also alt-sources.list with alternative backport sources in the same folder.
If there is interest of this project I can give more detailed information.
About using save file, frugal install option, kind of full install option, remastering, cleaning save file, etc.
While I continue helping JBV with FoxyRoxyLinux I intend to work also on this project and make it more puppy like and feel and I will update this post with newer versions and changes. It will never be real puppy and it will not be able to install pet packages. I will try to keep this core as small as possible.
The main reason I post this is to give a chance for anyone who has troubles installing programs in his favorite puppy to use this small debian core, apt-get the needed program and have it working in a few minutes.
If there is no interest or the site administration feel this topic should not be here, please, move it where it fits better.
Cheers, Toni
