this searchmonkey or the yahoo project?

As the problems I had were so weird and as I didn't find a md5sum to verify if the download was done correctly, I decided to download again.

Either in the meantime the iso has been updated or I had indeed a bad download, but this time I got all the good questions on pfix=ram.
And I am in xorg
Just have to see if I get the proposal to create a save file.

But: altho I defined my keyboard to be Belgium, it stayed in us.
I redid the config through the control panel, but to no avail, still us.
Finally I edited xorg.conf and changed us to be.
I am in Belgian now.

I suppose I better open an incident in the bug track system for this.
Hopefully there is a follow up, as for other puppies I used a bug track system, already but never saw any activity.

I rebuilt busybox from master with almost allyesconfig and have set up a pinstall.sh that will only make symlinks if the program is not installed in the executable path... so if you have a program installed you will need to move it out of your path (so which cannot find it) prior to installation if you want to test the busybox version (although I configured busybox with the ability to install itself via busbox --install -s , I used a pinstall.sh script to do it manually in case programs are installed to non-default locations - when tar is configured with --prefix=/usr for example)

If anyone would like to test it for dpkg or others it also provides the following:

Hi technosaurus,
Using Stardust-012, I converted my pupsave-431_2.2fs to 3fs and modified the initrd.gz file so that the pupsave-431_2.3fs will mount properly as a journaled file system on my ext3 partition. They are working great. I hope that you are considering having options to create pupsaves as 2/3/4fs with the corresponding changes to the initrd.gz so they will mount properly as journaled file systems on ext3/4.

Thanks,
Jim

[technosaurus]

I haven't taken a look at the code for creating the [2-4]fs files, (I think Barry already patched init for ext4 in woof)
the empty *fs files gzip down to next to nothing if I recall, so maybe it would be better to have a gzipped version of each so they could be available at startup rather than having to create them afterwards?

now that kernel 2.6.33 is out ext4 will likely be default, since now you can use the ext4 driver for ext2 and ext3 filesystems

What is the md5sum of the iso please?

[Béèm]

[Béèm]

Could it be considered to include SeaMonkey 2.0.3 instead of 1.1.18?

It seems Google code operates a standard checksum facility which uses SHA1 checksums (a standard inbuilt Linux checksum - although I couldn't get it in Puppy!).

If one gets the download by going here:
http://code.google.com/p/puppy-development/downloads/list

Find the file to download and click on ANY info EXCEPT the file name. You will be taken to a page which shows the SHA1 checksum.

For pup-431-2.iso it is shown as:
56773f186be134a509f6e6e29a530d72c84a380b

All you need now is to get the sha1sum utility. As I said it appears not to be in Puppy. Me - I just went to the command line in Knoppix.

[abushcrafter]

Thanks. Puppy comes with GTKHash which does MD5 and SHA1 sums.

Thanks for the info re GTKHash. I see it on the menu now.

I was looking for sha1sum in the past because that was supposed to be an inbuilt linux command line tool.
