I don't know how much ram it needs but at that size, I think 64Mb should run it, maybe less, I would like to know how you go with it, and the amount you used would also be helpful. Thanks

A fish?
Evolved? Does that mean I have to stop eating them?
Incidentally it is better getting 10 RW-CD's then 50 throwaways . . .
Unless you give them away
You have based it on 2.17.1?
Great work - already much interest . . . clearly a need . . .

fat -free-pup version using 2.17 core 52.9MB Subject description: have some of the new pets from the new version 3 puppylinux with a 2.17 base fat-free |
|
fat-free-pup is just what the name says a stock puppy with many apps removed
no scripts were changed so no added problems either
The reason why the fat-free-pup came about
with the many upgrades and version changes puppylinux needs
to be reinstalled many times to keep up with the new progress
if you have dial-up a large iso is all day to download if you are happy with your puppy linux version but just want the new browsers when they come out and other programs that change frequently I removed them so they are not permanent
you can upgrade them without a total reinstall now with the new version 3 puppylinux it will take time to iron out the new glitches ( I looked over the new packages in version 3 and I say about 60% of the packages have been upgraded and a different kernel and scripts and also xvesa and xorg to name a few ) and I welcome the good things that come from version 3 I already use the new browsers
and hope to have the benifits of slackware packages thats a big plus
I have a fat-free-pup for version 3 in the making I have the packages sorted already and when all the reports come back with what works and what needs to be adjusted I will build the iso for me to test I'll keep you posted
I continue to use fat-free-pup as my main and only OS
another link thanks to caneri
http://www.puppylinux.ca/puppyfiles/custom
during the build puppy is hard coded for many defaults such as the default browser even though seamonkey was not used it is still seen as default by puppy not my doing thats just the way it was made but it is easily changed manually in /usr/local/bin right click default bowser open it as text then change the word
#!/bin/sh
exec firefox "$@"
thats if you want firefox .Seamonkey will just work as default after it is installed with pet-get
then once firefox is running you could go to edit >preferences> and paste this as the home page http://www.puppylinux.com/
******************* new way below as of 10-2-07 *********************************
Important update ! do you want the new firefox for version 3 puppylinux came out yesterday ? well I have excellent news for you fat-free-pup has no browser so the new version 3 puppylinux pet works fine with fat-free and it auto adds to the menu I am using it now
1.)install a temporary browser of your choice with pet-get
2.) then use one of the new version 3 pets from the official puppylinux site

Might I suggest a very small addition to this version and that is an editor that you can use when X is not working.
I always have to edit xorg.conf to get X working properly so an editor that can be used from the command line is important. I did see that ed was included but do not know how to use it. The books I have describe it as obsolete and pass on to the "modern" editors such as vi!
Perhaps e3 could be added?

In the nicest possible way, my personal preference would be that you learnt to use ed rather than increase the size of FatFree by 1 byte. Whats the point in going to the effort of paring something back to the bare minimum only to start introducing duplication?

May be this would help you?
You can run Firefox 1.5.0.3 (install with file firefox-1.5.0.3.pet). After you (must) run the pinstall. That's all.
Change to /opt/mozilla.org/bin and test with command firefox.

vanchutr,
thank you.
My problem is that i don't have a browser on this fat free version of puppy that can connect to the internet.
In command line, i type firefox, but still no browser will appear.
Right now i am using the 2.15CE. Maybe i could use this version to download such firefox-1.5.0.3.pet program.
Thank you again.

no browser forced on you (thats the idea ) |
|
please dont expect a browser it was a lot of work to remove it
why? browsers are a personal choice I dont force my opion on you for a browser
some steps you should follow
1.) configure your firewall as usual
2.)set up your internet connection
3.)used the pet-get manager and install a browser
some things to think about (you decide)
if you want it easy select seamonkey
if you want fast and light use dillo
if you want opera or firefox you have to adjust the defaults
if you want chat install that too
if you need gxine there are some libs you can download with pet-get
gxine-0.5.9
xine_lib-1.1.4
xine_extra_codecs-1
they were removed because if you like mplayer or something else
that would be just extra bloat
fat-free-pup is complete enough that I used it to build fat-free-pup
and burn the iso from unleashed thats why I left the CD stuff there in the menu
so you can create what you want
if you dont feel comfortable doing that use puppylinx more time untill you feel comfortable with it then switch to fat-free-pup
