Has anyone got Quote: | pUPnGO_V412_XVESA_JWM.iso | running as a GUI yet?
I downloaded, installed with puppy pfix=ram, got a cmd prompt okay.
If I type I get a graphics screen but blank except for the mouse cursor so what else to type to get a gui?
Also doing at cmd line gives me a basic browser but it doesn't seem to be connected to the net as get Quote: | unable to connect to remote host. | and returns I was hoping this would be a bit easier to start off.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Yes of course. How stupid of me. Thanks my friend.
I'm having one of those days
Now any idea about why I can't get my internet connection.
ifconfig -a only brings up the local loopback.
Tried dhclient eth0.....not found
ifup eth0 ...can't open /etc/network/interfaces
Driver issue..wonder how I fix that?
Cheers

i haven't tried to connect to the internet yet bc I am not near an ethernet cable, I'm almost always wireless. But what might be helpful would be to use the build script instead of the iso and include ttuuxxx's file manager pet. That will help to be able to search files, but be aware that you have to be in 4.12 in order to use the build script.

Hi davesurrey
Are you running in qemu or on a real machine? pUPnGO only provide drivers for vmware and qemu as is...
Try command route at command line...

Update: New build with latest BusyBox snapshot (v.1.17.0.git). A more intensive use of BusyBox used to reduce size (-700K) and complexity. Build script, BusyBox bin and new grub/bootmanager scripts included on iso.
Overview:
Kernel (original) 1,6Mb
initrd.gz (original) 1,3Mb
pup_412pUPnGO.sfs 2,0Mb (3,7Mb with GUI)
zdrv_412.sfs 700 Kb (Lynx)
Basic still boots (in virtual machine) with 16Mb whereas GUI-version needs approx. 24 MB to get to a GUI...

Kim,
Thanks for your reply.

Running as a frugal install in a real machine. So I guess I need to add the lan driver. Not sure how to do that from cmd line so it'll be a learning experience.

Not sure what that tells me that I didn't know.
told me the loopback is okay and that eth0 isn't working.
Thanks anyway.

Try to view in a normal p412 which modules are loaded (lsmod) and build them into pUPnGO - then it should work...

Am I right or wrong?
These micro versions of puppy can be used together with all the sfs files that allow it to start up programs without being fat due to only adding one program at a time?

some posts down in that thread. I guess they are made for Choice pup. How is that one different from the pupngo?

pUPnGO is for advanced linux users, its the extreme lightweight version, It hardly has enough in it to actually run in gui. Its a building a base tool, Where as Choicepup has a solid base, and works well out of the box, pUPnGO you have to configure things to work etc, but it you have the time you'll learn a lot from using it, but you'll need patience and google

Choicepup could be next step learning linux for me then. I tested to start anew with Stardust last night and managed to do both codecs to mplayer and to find and take down Firefox 3.57 so that was an adventure.
Choicepup look interesting if one have not the latest hardware then. only use what you need when you need it. But Stardust works very good on my HP/Compaq 5622 with 2 or 3 GB RAM not sure.
oh, are all puppies adjusted to be used on USB flash? Does all puppie by default write only when one tell them to?

Sounds like a great base for a browser only puplet... something I would like to get back to eventually - probably with Midori. I would try a fully static build but since flash is a necessity I would likely pull in the shared libs that flash 9 depends on and do the rest static. Figuring out required libraries is easy using ldd, but does anyone know how you find the other required files (images, fonts, config files etc..) short of parsing a strace output?

Do not know if this is an answer to your question...but pUPnGO build script has some limited ability to include ordinary PET-files in the build. Place them in /data/pets-folder and at least the files will be in the build...

@goingnuts
Although that works it also brings in (sometimes many) unnecessary files.
Actually I was refering to programs that segfault if missing some random file (not a library) that is hardcoded in. This could be a config file or even something as simple as an image file.
When you compile with debugging enabled, programs often output these problems to the command line (which you can log with [program] [-options] 2>programerror.log)... but debugging makes the program significantly larger and would require a full rebuild
Without debugging enabled, you can use strace, but you get too much info:
strace [program] [-options] &>program.log
I seem to recall a program called filewatch or something that would just tell you what files were accessed by a program... so that one could pull in only the files that are absolutely required.

Run 'strings' on the binary? Lsof can help too.
