I guess I'll also answer here as I also have a PM in my inbox from matias. Of course!! Your response is welcome! :) Unioning only works on live CD distros because aufs is not inlcuded in the kernel of any standard (installable) distros. And since uafs is implemented with a kernel source-code patch,...

Matias, The forum has a lousy PM system. I replied to your PM and the reply got stuck in my "outbox" for days. Anyway, I'm publishing my response to the PM here - I hope you don't mind. If you do mind, let me know I'll remove this post. ----- cheers Hi jamesbond!, thank you so much for yo...

Hi! I want to execute applications that have been built for another distros (like archlinux). I have all dependency tree packages, i merged all of them on a directory, including libc, all. This full directory, have the next form: full_package_with_deps ./etc ./usr ./bin <-- here is my executable (el...

static built (no shared libraries), lightweight, 64bit linux distro here: http://dslr.dimakrasner.com/ What you describe about shared libraries is bad packaging or bad library versioning. Simple rules for a stable repo: 1. Build all new software against the originally distributed libraries unless m...

Hi All I am relatively new to Linux. So if my question/solution is way off the wall please let me know why it is way off. How about when you install software the software itself gets installed to a new directory. Then all the libraries that this software needs is installed to the same directory. Wh...

You can use chroot: install Debian Squeeze in a directory, Wheezy in another and so on. Then, you can bind mount the /tmp of each version to /tmp and run applications with chroot. It's a hacky solution you can use to install an incompatible version of a package, but there's no clean way to make it ...

Hi people, I don't like how to work linux with software. Shared Libraries, is good because all libs are available for any application (lightweight packages etc), but for me, the biggest problem is that packages are always linked to a specific version of libs. This makes the system always synchronize...

But if I created a brand that made money (say, by taking market share from these guys ) couldn't I help financially support upstream projects which are currently struggling ? Yes, of course. You can help with money! In that way, its fine. All is allowed in order to help. My response was oriented in...

Hi Lowtech, It's difficult to make money with opensource selling products, opensource world have their business selling support. There are some aspects for that Studio 13.37 should be free. But there are other factors for that Studio should not be free. In my opinion, your knowledge is your single s...

I'm new in programming. I'm started with C a week ago.

The code, compiles and runs OK.
But it is only a functional structure.

structs, pointers, unions etc.. in order to provide a:
"Readable post-code".

Its funny to see Puppy on BSD, but.. it is inviable! Now, a linux system without systemd will be still alive if developers, uses systemd as optional dependency.. if not, is a serious trouble. I think that it is very difficult to maintain a Linux system in this direction. But, "maybe" the u...

Hi to everyone!! I have a Wifi USB Realtek 8188s, puppy load the driver with ndiswrapper. I can see all the available networks with iwlist, but when i want to connect with dhcpdc, it uses the external IP and not the local IP. The result is no connection. I made all steps with Network Wizard, and als...

Try the boot option: boot: puppy radeon.modeset=0 Thanks, it works! But, load a bad resolution, and i can't change it. Xorg crash with "no screens found" Have you tried Xvesa instead of Xorg? Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and you go at prompt. Type: xorgwizard Choose Xvesa. Then: xwin to start X. th...

Hello again, matias. 4-5 years ago, there was a very nice OpenBSD derivative called Olive BSD, not too big, perhaps 450 Mo, if I remember correctly, with OpenOffice included, but I think it has not been updated. Have you tried the recent GhostBSD ? BFN. musher0 Hi musher0, thanks for you answer ;) ...

Hi friends. My question is that, someone knows about a Puppy BSD based distro? If not, there are plans to build one?? I'm reading a lot of BSD documentation, and it seems a very good system, mature, with great perfomance, and good compatibility. The only is missing is that doen't exist pre-builted s...

Hi, i recently downloaded Slacko 5.6 PAE version and everything works ok during CD-boot, but when X.org server is loaded, then my screen crash with color lines, distorted graphics... the system then break and you can't do nothing more, except restart..

Hi RSH... I see some topics talking about the potential incompatibility with shared libraries. I found some linux distro, GoboLinux. That have a No traditional unix folders, with the purpose of allow to install programs with different versions, and expand compatibility. GoboLinux is an alternative L...

Thanks for your comments, i will send them to the project creator.

Hi to everyone. This is a project from Argentina introduced by marianxs, a gtk/qt developer. Due the fact that, LibreOffice main developers/comunity don't help in any senses, we are in the way of get the help from users from any comunity. Some LibreOffice developers are not interested to change the...
