NEWS FLASH!!!!!

[Stokey]

Eat your heart out Bill Gates the Puppy Master has beaten you to the post

Puppy 1.0.5alpha2 now released

Now come all you Puppys who have never compiled any source code download 1.0.5alpha2 and have a go

Even my Aunt Maude is going to have a bash at it

It's exciting - the preprocessing, the compiling, the assembling and finally the linking...... sucess (maybe)

And if you get compile errors, more excitement trying to figure out their weird and wonderful meaning

I beleive that some people actually do enjoy doing the above,
while most of us play/watch some sport, go to the theatre, play with the kids or grandkids do a bit of gardening, get the Harley out and go for a bit of a spin etc, even enjoy the company of the the opposite sex (?)

Well I'm off to check on my Aunt Maude who is Googling to find some easy Linux source code to download and compile, she keeps saying "tarballs" to me......... Is that rude or not!

So happy compiling

I don't understand if your happy or sarcastic???
But I wish you would make yourself clear.

I to get the same error when trying to get user_devx.sfs
What new page mike???

[mike]

This is the address that I'm trying to get the file offa

http://www.nstsoftware.com/puppy/

according to the New Page, that's the spot......

[klhrevolutionist]

If anyone has a copy of the new user_devx.sfs
please share it as the server is acting up.
Unless Barry restricted it to developer's only.

[Flash]

Mike, do you mean the news page? As in Barry's Puppy Linux news page?

[mike]

Yes, and then I followed the links posted therer for the appropiate download...

[BarryK]

Problem fixed.
Download away!

[Lobster]

I tried downloading twice from Firefox and was succesful on the third attempt using Opera. You can see a pic of the Alpha Pup on the wiki news:

you can read about it at puppylinux.com under News
This IS NOT a release version of Puppy - it is for developers to compile programs (I know this has been said but . . .)

Lobster
Point taken, however if you read the News page again it does say the release is for Puppy enthusiasts and developers

Lets not make the club to exclusive


To klhrevolutionist
Will post a seperate reply to your query (remember I put nearly all my posts in the Misc section of the forum, that may provide some clue) must dash just got a phone call from my Aunt Maude she has got a few compile errors

[Lobster]

Lets not make the club to exclusive

tsk tsk - the only person I would exclude - is myself
Everyone is welcome to download and have fun

- let's break open a new bag of virtual Puppy treats to celebrate . . .

[Guest]

Unable to find download link for usr_more.sfs and usr_devx.sfs gives errors. Anyone get KDE working?

[Lobster]

There are aprox three files in pupget for KDE (the main file - an essential library and a database segment) None of these appear to be downloading at the moment

[BarryK]

No, no, don't try, no KDE pupgets yet!
