MintPup-Trusty on github.
========================================
MintPup project started from wanderer in this thread continue here and presents my view of wanderer's idea for puppifying LinuxMint 17.1.
And it is not Puppy linux. It has nothing to do with Puppy based on Debian or Ubuntu.
Downloading MintPup be ready to learn different package manager and different system setup in Ubuntu/Debian manner.
Read here some tips from William.
Even not a Puppy still you will be able to do usual Puppy actions as creating, loading, unloading sfs files, remastering the system or creating module from changes only, using boot in RAM without saving or saving changes in file, folder, partition, having one or more frugal or full install and dual-boot with different OS.
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 MintPup).
MintPup is built from Linux Mint 17.1 "Rebecca" - Xfce (32-bit) using this method and shaped to look like Puppy and act like Puppy.
You have access to all Ubuntu (trusty) and Mint (Rebecca) repositories using apt-get or synaptic.
It is very similar to DebianDog and has the same look and feel. Many links here will point to DebianDog instructions and utilities because they work the same way in MintPup. DebianDog Utilities thread and HowTo thread should be valid for MintPup.
All the work from Fred, William, Terry and other people for DebianDog is included in MintPup and all scripts for DebianDog in the future should work in MintPup. The main difference is MintPup has access to Ubuntu (trusty) and Mint (Rebecca) repositories instead to Debian.
If you are familiar with DebianDog you will not have troubles to use MintPup.
To test MintPup for first time you need to burn it on CD and boot from it, or use MintPup-installer working from most linux systems (click here to download and extract the archive and read the instruction inside first) to make frugal install to HDD, USB, SD-card or to extract /casper folder on top of a partition or USB and edit grub menu.lst.
Login details:
root with password root
puppy with password puppy
MintPup 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.
Read the second post about the two available boot and save file options.
Only Jwm-IceWm version available for download:
Click here for testing light OpenBox setup from Fred.

Default WM - JWM with option to switch to IceWM.
Default File Manager - XFE with option to use Rox.
Default Internet Browser - Dillo.
Check for updated iso images here.
Mirror download link (thanks Ally).
md5sum
Code: Select all
mint ~ # uname -a
Linux mint 3.13.0-37-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 22 21:30:01 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
The DEVX module includes also add-apt-repository packages: Loading the module only for adding new PPA repo and unloading the module keeping the PPA repo active works from limited testing.
Remastering GUI scripts work (but I prefer to use /opt/bin/remaster-mint-cli from terminal because it is well tested in MintPup).
Included some art wallpapers special made for MintPup from futwerk.
Al wallpapers you can download here.
You can make bootable usb from the hybrid iso using dd command. This option is for users with more experience and will make the usb partition with MintPup 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 mintpup-installer (click here to download and extract the archive and read the instruction inside first) working from most linux systems 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 02-locale-mintpup-jwm-icewm-xz.squashfs available for download from sfs-get-MintPup or from here.
In case you like to change the localization load the module or place it inside /live/image/casper 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.
A big thanks to Kazza for providing the hosting space for MintPup and all DebianDog versions, modules and packages!
