DebianDog-Jessie is upgrade from DebianDog-Wheezy with some special modifications and fixes needed for Jessie.
Same boot methods options, same Utilities thread, same HowTo thread.
Both systemd and sysvinit included with choice to boot the init you prefer.
If you need to edit the boot code keep in mind adding init=/bin/systemd will boot with systemd. Removing init=/bin/systemd will boot with sysvinit.
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 is a small Debian Live CD shaped to look like Puppy and act like Puppy. Debian structure and Debian behaviour are untouched and Debian documentation is 100% valid for DebianDog. You have access to all debian repositories using apt-get or synaptic.
DebianDog is set to autologin as root. If you like to use it as multiuser system it is recommended to start XDM login manager (available only in Jwm version). Just type in terminal xdm-start and reboot. xdm-stop will reverse back autologin as root.
In OpenBox version you can install this slim deb package and use menu System -> Start/Stop Slim display-manager.
If you like to change the default autologin as root to autologin as user read here how to do it.
Login details:
root with password root
puppy with password puppy

To test DebianDog for first time you need to burn it on CD and boot from it, or use DebianDog-installer ( click here to download and extract the archive - working from most linux systems) to make frugal install to HDD or USB, or to extract /live folder on top of a partition or USB and edit grub menu.lst.
DebianDog-Jessie 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-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 (00-locale-files-jessie-openbox_xfce.squashfs and 00-locale-files-jwm-icewm-jessie.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.
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.
More information about changing localization read here, here and here.
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).
A big thanks to Kazza for providing the hosting space for all DebianDog versions, modules and packages!
