Guy Dog 5.0.1
There is no newer release of Guy Dog yet. I believe there might be eventually but for now Iguleder I believe is reviving calf linux I believe it is called. It is his own creation from a little while back.Is there a later release?
Guy Dog is on a back burner for now I think. Iguleder of course will be able to tell you more accurate info on Guy Dog im sure.

003 is kind of frozen, since I'm very very busy these days. I'm working on many FOSS projects in parallel and I find it hard to work on a puplet with all this mess.
However, I'm working on a nice concept that could evolve into the second generation of Guy Dog. It's a very innovative concept - a mix n' match Puppy with dynamically-loadable SFSs that implement parts of it: each category of applications is contained in a separate SFS.
Also, another nice feature is the user of Xvfb instead of Xorg - it's a framebuffer-based X server that is much smaller, but lacks the hardware acceleration provided by the latter. I want to apply this philosophy in the graphics area too - each user installs a SFS with the right GPU drivers. I'm currently examining its dependencies and compatibility.
By the way, to install PET packages, run "petget /path/to/pet" to install a package. It will complain about a missing directory - just create it.

Guy Dog download
In three tries over two days the download stalls at 7-9%. I tried both Firefox and Konqueror.
iguleder's missing repos
Hi Guys,
Regarding iguleder's missing repositories, iguleder explained and apologized. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 859#595859.
For what it's worth, I have the guydog-5.0.1.iso that I can upload if it had somewhere to go. Sorry, I don't have many (any) of his scripts or pets, except puppizard-008 and (I think it's his) dash-0.5.7, a PDF of puppizard's instructions, and some other pets (mostly I think from Exprimo) that I used in Guydog. If wanted, I'll be happy to upload them as well.

Update: here is the mediafire mirror link hope it works for those who have a hard time downloading guydog.

I have started the upload of dpup pets. There are about all those dpup pets I have. There are my compiled stuff also, for exprimo, so for some pets, some additional libs might be reguired from squeeze repos, until they work in guy dog, but I believe all pets basically works there. Launch the app in console if they dont start from menu entry and you will find out what you are missing.
If that dont tell you...in console which application name and the ldd path/to/the/application/location.
Okay little obscure but you get the idea. There will be 464 pets.

scsi driver
Hello Iguleder
Just discovered Guy Dog.The "look and feel" is fantastic.
Is there a chance to have the scsi driver included in the next release?
Many thanks for the great work

I have found that squeeze debian Puppy builds likes that there is this file: /usr/lib/gconv-modules.cache.
Barrys packages-templates NOEXCEPTIONS rules it out during woof build.
Install the attached pet and you get snappier starting time - quicker launching to some Puppy apps.

clavier keyboard
pas moyen d'avoir le clavier. no keyboard at all. Même si on modifie wizard.
utterly Amazing,
Not as fast boot times as my Arch Linux system, but running applications is flawless. This os has not slowed down at all. Flash games web browsing, word processing it all runs at the speed of light. I have installed this onto my usb drive and it works flawlessly, I had to install flash and java, which was not a problem. Pet management is great.
I want to be able to play games such as warzone2100, but am unable to figure out the problem it is giving me the error can't find libdirectfb-1.2.so.0. Is there a way to install multiple drivers for 3d support? If that is even the correct solution?
It is very nice I have tried it on ten different computers around my campus.

Hi i have tested guydog and like it. it seems to be built ok.
I am having trouble running it on an old packard bell m5 series latop. i ran dmidecode and it gave me this click here encase any of that information is useful
it will not run x I ran lspci to find out what it has and it has this.
Display controller: intel Corporation 82852/855GM Intergrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
i would like to see how this runs but vesa driver will not work a probe did not work and i did not know what driver to manually try.
i would like to run this in the old packard bell but if i cant well thats life.
i can run 528 and slacko on this computer no problems with vesa. maybe its something to do with the drivers you are using in GuyDog
I found guydog from this review. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHAyQ8BY3To
here he states that you recommend not to install apps from ppm. in fact the ppm has been disabled. i need flash plugin and a few other things. I cant find anything for guydog or dpup here in the packages either click here is it safe and ok to install the debian repos in ppm and use them.

For Flash just go here http://puppylinux.org/wikka/libflashplayer than follow the instructions when you extract the package you extract it into the directories. make sure you copy libflashplayer.so into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ into that directory it worked perfectly for me. for java I had to download a sfs files and load it with wizard wizard.
i forgot about that trick for flashplayer. and the same plugin needs to go in the chromium folder if i install that. great.mich04 wrote:For Flash just go here http://puppylinux.org/wikka/libflashplayer than follow the instructions when you extract the package you extract it into the directories. make sure you copy libflashplayer.so into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ into that directory it worked perfectly for me. for java I had to download a sfs files and load it with wizard wizard.
as i cant find any pets or sfs files for guydog or dpup then i am out of luck with java i guess. i could either install java from source with devx, or if the debian repos work i coudl add them to ppm and be sweet.
when i have some time i will look into it again, guydog is on a my 20gb usb hdd with a few other puppies.
