I've been loving this distro. I wish I had picked up the kde addon while it was up. If anyone can share it, that would be wonderful. I hope Mark is still around and this distro has not died!!

From what I'm reading in the forum, MU has left the Muppy project. Last I heard was that he would release a new version under a different name.

It is too bad.

A remarkable operating system which I use, with joy, daily.

The download links still work.

Thanks, but those links are for 8.3. Better than nothing, but an older version.

I have the mini, the addons and Office for this if anyone else needs them. I can put them on rapidshare.

Sorry. Never noticed that before. Wonder why the main site was never updated?

I had re-uploaded it on my own server, unfortunately it is slower, so it is great to have other mirrors, too.

See this thread:

Myself I work on extending wows pup now:

But this is a private project, not by profession, so I have some different priorities than with Muppy.
You will however notice some common concepts Smile

I came across this thread looking for more info on Muppy, glad I did.
I am just trying Muppy now for the first time and I had thought from looking at the Muppy page I got it from that it was a current project, but apparently not.
Now looking back I see the files I downloaded are dated as being updated as of December 2007, so that is over a year old. In my haste I was thinking they were December 2008.

This is the page I started with
http://puppylinux.org/wiki/archives/old-wikka-wikki/categoryderivative/muppypuppy

I assume that this is the same Muppy, and that the version 8.4c is the last new one?
If so, that is too bad.
I was really excited when I found this, but if it won't be updated and supported anymore I may have to keep looking for a more "robust" supported puppy.
Lighthouse gold looks promising and uses kde.

And of course I see that MU is now working on "Ultrapup" which promises to be very good once complete, so I will watch that project with anticipation.

I am currently using Buddapup-dingo with enlightenment, it is really nice and fast too.

Thanks,
Tom

I like the Live-008.3-EN version very much so I downloaded the 008.4c-EN version. At 764.5MB even with overburn turned on using K3B I simply produce coasters. Should I be trying to burn this to a DVD? I could not find a check sum on line but I generally don't have errors downloading, even using dial up. Slow but I have successfully downloaded a lot of Puppy and other larger .iso's.

Tried Brasero to burn 8.4c to DVD. Made another coaster. Will try K3B but am unsure which to choose, "Burn Cd image" or Burn DVD iso image"???

I found this message: "you have to use growisofs to burn it instead of cdrecord (wodim)."
K3B shows that it has growisofs, perhaps Brasero only uses wodim???

Burn CD image would not proceed waiting for CD media. Burn DVD iso image gave warning that image file size was incorrect.
Did md5sum: f51dc505c17167604ab8a18e8d27b981 Muppy-Live-008.4c-EN.iso
Can anyone confirm with an md5sum from known working copy of iso? Before I delete my copy and move on.
