What I am doing here.

I do not contribute much into the public domain, as far as LINUX is concerned. Probably due to the fact that most of the stuff I have seen has been fairly, uninteresting, and not worth my time. I have been following Linux closely, privately. Up until the Blue GENE deployment, it was fairly uninteres...

Refund Souce Mailing

Barry, If the sources are going to be online soon, then I guess there is not need to mail me the sources. Thanks for refunding the money. -Hackus PS: To those of note here, I am an independant party member. Quite frankly, the democrats and the republicans piss me off. Thanks for asking though. :-)

Kernel Source Tree

I have been unsuccessful in building a viable kernel from the source entries on your page AND following the directions, which I posted several links to. I said I was irritated, and I would like to point out I do not find it "disruptive" behavior to ask for GPL source code, or to communicat...

Embedded Linux Project

Hello, I thought I would take this time to describe my project and if your interested, great! If your not, why are you reading this? :-) We have a problem with Xploretech tablets. They cost too much! :-) So, I have embarked on creating a forklift or lifttruck tablet/touch screen system that runs Lin...

Embedded Hardware Need Kernel Source Tree

Hello, I tried the new user forum, but I am looking for a kernel tree that will boot the puppy linux distro. The source code doesn't seem to exist publicly for the kernel binary. The one on the developer page, for 2.6.17.6 for download is not the one that boots the distro. I have asked questions abo...

To everyone in this thread, thanks for the feedback. I do have a rather brazen tone when it comes to the source code, because I have an intense desire to make source code available to all to learn about computers. I dislike it when I can't get source code, particularly GPL licensed code. I am aware ...

Kernel Tree Question for Source CD's

I don't mind waiting for the source CD, I never said I didn't want to wait for the CD. I apologize if I feel irritated myself, but thats how the GPL works and it is that way for a reason. What I guess Barry hasn't addressed is how to fix this "problem". (I know this is an issue because I f...

Links I have Tried

Every link on the download page, is nothing but binaries. http://puppyos.com/download/downpage.htm Not a single reference to a source build anywhere. I challenge you to find a single source download link on that page. It is irritating that a GPL project has no source reference. Technically it is a v...

GPL Compliance

Technically, the author should be aware, that any GPL'ed software must be distributed in source code form along with the binaries. I guess asking to MAIL the source code is technically in compliance, although I haven't seen the source code .... YET. But it is sorta irregular there is not a SOURCES d...

Puppy 2.02 Kernel Rebuild

Hello, puppy is proving to be a real challenge to rebuild its kernel. I have looked at the .config that comes with the kernel and have some questions. First, is there a place where I can download the tarball for the puppy 2.02 installation kernel? I am having very bad luck on my FC5 system getting t...
