If I am not totally off mark, you can boot puppy into memory with pup001 for data (or other partition), customize it as you see fit (removing fvwm95 or whatever) and then remaster live-CD (menu-setup-remaster) I tried remaster a couple of times, but never tested my results. I could be off I'm a newb...

Thanks Bladehunter and Barry. I got all I were looking for

Barry, are you using 2.6 for future Puppy? I am a forward looking

I don't want to change kernel header. vlapt did that for me and messed up. I had to reinstall VL and manually get kernel header for 2.4.29. The way vlapt behavious seems to suggest that VL will use 2.6 as default soon. If Puppy uses VL as developmental platform, it MIGHT mean Puppy 1.0.5+ uses 2.6 k...

got VL5.0 RC2 installed. It uses kernel 2.6.10 to replace 2.4.29 if you use vlapt to upgrade kernel header. I have to download 2.4.9 kernel header separately, but 2.4.29 kernel souce nowhere can be found in VL download sites. Do I have to go kernel.org to get source? It seems VL will be using 2.6 so...

glad you liked it. yes, c:\boot.ini is a hiden file

shouldn't you be by his side while he is asleep?

I shall give it a whirl on my hubby's pure XP laptop while he's asleep

I have two NICs with my laptop (built-in eth0 and docking_station eth1), so eth1 for wireless is no-go for me. I would suggest use wlan0 (ndiswrapper default) to avoid potential conflicts

OK, I finally made Puppy 1.0.3 working on NTFS partition. here comes step-by-step instructions how to do it: Assumations: 1. Windows 2000/XP on the 1st partition of the 1st IDE disk (/dev/hda1) 2. NTFS used for Windows What to do (all steps in Windows): 1. downloaded Puppy 1.0.3 ISO file 2. burn a l...

asking a favour

could someone who has developmental platform for Puppy 1.0.3 create a new image.gz file with ntfs support loaded?

should be something like

modprobe ntfs
mkinitrd /image 2.4.27

or just

mkinitrd -m ntfs /image 2.4.27

will have development platform for 1.0.4/VL5

Thanks a lot

I don't think NTFS is mounted as read-only, IF you are using pup001 on NTFS as your home both /dev/hda1 and pup001 mounted as full read-write don't know pup001 could be writable if /dev/hda1 is in read-only only workaround is to hide /dev/hda1 by deleting it from mtab/fstab, df won't show the entry ...

I guess I should remember to login first

I ALMOST got it working on NTFS. here is so far I went 1. installed wingrub206 (W2K + NTFS) 2. copied three files from puppy 1.0.3 to C:\ 3. add menu.lst as follows: -------------------------------------------- default 0 timeout 0 title Puppy-1.0.3 rootnoverify (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/ram ...

sorry for typos. I have updated the package and uploaded mkdotpup script (.gz) in my previous posting. it SHOULD BE working now by the way, i just tried the latest mrxvt dotpup it puts mrxvt in /usr/X11R6/bin/ but it puts this menu item in Icewm: prog "mrsvt" mini-sh /usr/local/bin/mrxvt -...

OK Flash, you can put mrxvt to your index. The new make will add entry to all three WMs (ice, fvwm95 and jwm) still don't know how to post the script (mkdotpup) Edit: correct typo and upload mkdotpup script So, should I put this in the index, or consider it a beta release and leave it out for now?

Should iceWM be the official WM for Puppy, along with xp theme, it COULD be a XP/Windows95 machine (was it the reason to use fvwm95 originally, so that Windows users would be at ease?). iceWM menu management (auto hide when appl is not available has 1 point plus over fvwm95) do we know how many use ...

yeah, it is on my list I am kind of in a waiting mood, for 1.0.4 and VL5Std. I am in VMWare session. That's a good start. You now need to add code to have the program register itself in the menus, most DotPups don't. Sample code can be found in my FTP server package ( http://www.murga.org/%7Epuppy/v...

I wrote a bash script to create dotpup package from a filelist. it generates potpup.sh (needs to customize pre/post tasks) and then *.pup package. when the package installed, it also registers with PupGet. usage: 1. create a filelist for all files in the package. The filename should be packagename-r...

don't know. I grabbed it from VectorLinux with additional library I love those tabs, Firefox, konsole. mrxvt is about 200KB larger than rxvt, could be used anywhere in place of rxvt, even opions. I am using it myself. can each of these options be left out at compile time? I'm really addicted to the ...

I just made my first *pup GuestToo's DotPup Template. Visual-Dot-Pup failed to include files Here are words from mrxvt site ( http://materm.sourceforge.net/ ): Mrxvt (previously named as materm) is a lightweight and powerful multi-tabbed X terminal emulator based on the popular rxvt and aterm. It im...

OK, I made mrxvt working on 1.0.3

how can I share?

If I have to make a mrxvt.pup, who should I send it to? Thanks
