Stick with your vision you have been a gentlemen throughout this thread, you other detractors should hang your heads in shame - disgusting behaviour and unfornately nothing new.

thank you very much.s243a wrote:I appreciate any and all efforts to innovate with puppy liinux. Keep up the good work, learnhow2code
yes! (there is an option to boot from one or the other. the idea is also to mix them. the sfs files of both distros get opened and mixed and edited, although so far no dramatic mixes have taken place.) ive considered copying binaries / libraries from the refracta mode to puppy mode, and ive considered copying binaries (with required libs) from puppy mode to refracta mode.So back to the original post, are these two different distributions merged into one or are you just providing an option to boot from one of the two?
If you could strip out all the windows manager stuff as separate sfs files then I would expect mixing would work as follows.learnhow2code wrote:thank you very much.s243a wrote:I appreciate any and all efforts to innovate with puppy liinux. Keep up the good work, learnhow2code

on the mixing, ive mostly copied puppys default wallpaper, but then this went through rebranding, per suggestions from the puppy community. puppys isolinux configuration is mixed with the one from refracta.
there would be other mixing features by now, but i took time to work on something related to puppy mode-- it can do things to the puppy mode, or the refracta mode, or both, or mix things from one side to the other.
as to who can understand this, let me offer this script as evidence of a theory: packaging and distro building are so similar, they practically use the same kinds of scripts and files. put another way: distro building is packaging on a bigger scale.
No, not at all. I've seen and see many things that should be changed in puppy. When I think they are universal enough to warrant inclusion I try to offer the suggestion as close as I can get to the original author. If I think they are my personal quirks only or have the potential to break or change what other people think of as established script behavior I rewrite or manually remaster for my own bedevilment. It's not change or no change, just a matter of style in my view... and I for one am trying very hard to be constructive here and on the forum overall.learnhow2code wrote:im not trying to put words in your mouth, i know youre not forbidding anything-- but it sounds like you might be trying to make a case against changing puppy at all, or just "leaving it to someone else."
so, heres the story there-- its actually really simple (and something i ought to consider changing.)ally wrote:ran script:
./mkfigos09.sh: line 4: proginf: command not found

so you install that pet, and then to run mkfigos you do it like this:learnhow2code wrote:* you will need fig-- which you would already have if you were running fig os. you can get the .pet for fig here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 501#909501
this is so many kinds of wonderful...ally wrote:finally got around to running your '09 script which created figos0.9.iso
I'm not clever enough to understand what changes I should see over and above a 'normal' tahrpup build
i think you got the syntax error with version 1.0 for the same reason you did the first time on 0.9.I have tried '10 script but I get a syntax error on line 4, again sadly
newsfs absolutely did replace the tahr one-- the files i added wouldnt be in the iso you uploaded (and, they are) otherwise.ally wrote:ok, how do I fix the current figos09.iso? there is new.sfs in 'newsfs' folder, should this replace the tahr one, what about naming?
youve figured this one out nowthe mkfig10 is named nkfigos10.fig.py and I run using python mkfigos10.fig.py
are you kidding? i cant believe how willing youve been to learn something like this.apologies for my lack of knowledge
well thats very interesting. some of the code that changes the ping scripts (this is a whole debacle you can see me getting flak for in this thread-- i turned off the scripts that ping duckduckgo and other sites in tahr) is working-- the part that creates baseping and baseping6 works... but the part that edits the existing scripts. this line for example:I will create a new archive page when '09 gets corrected, and no I didn't mess with the ping script, wouldn't know how, the only thing I changed was the download location for tahr from ibiblio to nluug as it's faster
hey, its got the full iso now!ally wrote:rebuilt and added fig10.iso
new page just being created and files uploading, see here
