Here (user:puppy, password:linux) you find one for kernel 2.6.25. But I think this Flightgear puplet is older...

EDIT- found it! Here (get the NVIDIA-718601-k2.6.21.7.pet package).
When I remaster the .iso will I have to unpack the dotpets first or just include them whole?

Since it's my first time using compiz-fusion and I don't know if it automagically opens pets.

As far as I know, you can create a live-cd from your installed system (even a frugal install). I'm not using Puppy now and actually since I've changed pc I'm looking forward to have a frugal install of Puppy soon. In Puppy 4 series there's an item in the menu where you have that option to create a live-cd from your installed system, but since FlightPup is based on 3 series it seems, you must check if it's there.
If it is then all you have to do is install the nvidia driver .pet and then remaster the system.
If that tool isn't present you may search for it (I think it may be a feature of the Puppy universal installer).
Sorry for posting two links, you'll have to use the older one, I think. The NVIDIA-718601-k2.6.21.7.pet package.

Now, if you're gonna try to to create a new iso without first installing it (even a frugal install) including the nvidia driver, I don't have experience with this.
I know that the tool to mess with the iso is isomaster and it's usually included in Puppy (at least the 4 series ones).

Hi JB4x4,

I've looked for http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/jb4x4/iso/FlightPup-v1.iso and it no longer appears to be there. Have you moved it to somewhere else?

Hi Nancy, thanks for the pointer. I didn't know about ysflight. I shall get that too. I was mostly interested in the FlightGear flight simulator though. It is a truly gorgeous flight sim. Check out the images on their home page at http://flightgear.org/. I've been trying to compile FlightGear and have run up against a number of problems that could be avoided if I could get ahold of the FlightPup disk iso.

Hello miriam,
I've been playing with the new version two. I was able to compile it in Mepis using Brisa's script and instructions from the wiki. I don't suppose that would work in Puppy, I've not tried it yet.

http://brisa.homelinux.net/fgfs/downloa ... e-2.0.0.sh

It is a magic sim and very nice . I tried Multiplayer and used terrasync to get my local airport. The multiplayer user map is fun to look at too to see who is using.

You do need a fast computer, plenty of memory and a decent card. My Nvidia 5200 just manages if I turn off all the extras.

Yay!! Thank you so much. I'll be downloading it today.

I want it, not so much for myself, though I do want to play with it too, but mostly for my Dad who used to be in the airforce during the second world war. He is pretty fragile at the moment after a series of unexpected operations last year. (All young-person things like appendicitis -- in his late 80s!) Anyway, it took a lot out of him (no pun intended) and even though he has always been a very active person he now often sits and zones out. He likes using the computer, and as well as writing emails and exploring GoogleEarth he plays some card games on it. Unfortunately all those things wait patiently for him while he vagues out. It occurred me recently that if he plays a simulation -- a flight sim or a racing game (I downloaded Torcs too) -- then he will have to pay attention or he'll crash. It might train him to take control of his attention again.

So, thank you from me and, even though he doesn't know it yet, my Dad. :)

John Lewis was going to give me a copy until
you posted CatDude.

Very decent of him and you.

I am downloading it and will reupload it to 2shared.

http://www.2shared.com/

And bad luck if there are scantily clad ladies on that site.
I will try to refrain myself from checking that it's there every day.

Update:
4 tries later >> here it is.

Hi Miriam,

If you really want to sharpen your dad up Try Red Baron II.

Regards Tony.

:) Thanks Tony. I'll mention that to him... though he'll probably want to start off with something less challenging.

Hi Miriam,

I must admit that I started off with the game as a "shootemup" and later settled for just circuits and bumps on the old ww1 aircraft.

Regards Tony

Woo hoo! I just finished downloading the slackware binaries and they work perfectly.
http://packages.flightgear.org.uk/slackware-12.2/
That is for version FlightGear 2 and I'm using it on Puppy 3.0.1.

I had previously tried to compile FlightGear, but had some trouble, however in doing that I also downloaded and compiled SimGear http://www.menet.umn.edu/~curt/simgear/downloads.html. If the slackware binaries don't work for other people (they work on mine) then you might need SimGear too... however, I kinda doubt you'll need it.

I'll try to download the FlightPup liveCD iso again today (the download failed yesterday, part way through). When I have that I'll be able to demonstrate it on anybody's machine without having to install it. Thanks again to CatDude for uploading the FlightPup iso.

Hello miriam

If you are having trouble downloading via the browser, then use wget instead.

Open ROX-Filer and go to the directory where you save your downloads,
then open a terminal in that directory and use the following command:

Code: Select all

wget -c --user=puppy --password=linux http://www.puppylinux.asia/members/catdude/FlightPup-v1/FlightPup-v1.iso
If for any reason you get disconnected, just re-run the command and it will pick up where it left off.

Hope this helps
CatDude

Hi CatDude. Yep, that's what I used, though without the '-c' to continue. I'll try continuing what I downloaded earlier and see if it gets the rest. Thanks for the suggestion. I much prefer wget rather than browser downloading because it is much more reliable. I was very surprised when it didn't get the whole thing.

Cool! cthisbear has uploaded it too. Good on ya. :)

CatDude, I continued the download using wget last night and checked it with md5sum. It showed bad checksum. So I downloaded it again. This time wget made it all the way through. However when I ran md5sum on that it also checked out as bad.

Are you sure the checksum is correct?
Both my downloads show md5sum value of:

Code: Select all

d2d30bca577c310feced8f80fa4817c9  FlightPup-v1.iso
This is different from the checksum value given online.

They won't boot due to corrupt kernel.

Does anybody else get the same problem? It takes me about 10 hours to download this, but I'll try again anyway.

Miriam,
If you've not got this to work yet, Pm me with an address and I'll post you a CD. I'm in West Aus so it shouldn't take too long.

I have the same problem as miriam.

Have downloaded from two different locations and after writing to cd it gives me invalid or corrupt kernal image error :( .

Any ideas? Or can I order a live cd that works from somewhere?
