Okay, I am trying to host these files on my website instead.

ftp PupPi files

account name: a3804781
password: puppi1

So far, it's just the rubix tar.gz that's there.

Edit
Adding rxvt, gfrename, bcrypt, xorg-server and puppi.tar.gz (the image of the Arch File system I've made look a bit like Puppy!)

By the way, I did a pacman -Syyu on the arch OS yesterday and lots of updates came through. I think Arch are about to release a new version ...

I am going to add a little text file here which shows the steps I take to get to a basic graphical environment from the arch image (using xorg-twm).

Antiloquax, I tried your puppi.img in qemu and managed to login as root.
However, I can seem to get X running at the moment. And how did you get a window that says "Qemu" in the titlebar? This is just a quick report; I will try some more tommorrow...signing off after this message. When I run "startx", I get the following error messages:

Hi Tman,
I don't think the JWM warning is the problem here. I get that as well, I must have made some mistake in my .jwmrc, but it doesn't ususally stop X from starting.

I'll get back to you when I've seen if I can sort this out.

As for the "qemu" title bar. That's just how it has always looked since I installed it!

Hi Tman. I have just downloaded the puppi.tar.gz and unpacked it.
The md5sum was okay:

Issue 1 info on the Puppy powered RacyPy

I dunno why i can't get a graphical interface going. I compiled it with the following settings:

Good news,

I downloaded Slacko, and tried compiling it again. And it worked!
I have uploaded a pet for Slacko, if anyone wishes to try it out.

Qemu-arm 1.0.1 for Slacko

[antiloquax]

Glad to hear that it's working!

You guys are doing great

I tried setting up woof2
have done it previously (at least initial stages)
http://puppylinux.info/topic/getting-started

Could not even download woof
even reregistered with a new woof name . . .

May have to try compiling programs again
or try learning some Chinese for light relief . . .

@Tman - I think you can use Samba to set up a shared folder. I'm not sure how (yet). I am just DDing things back and to. It's slow, but it works!

If anyone can tell me how to use Samba, I'd appreciate it.
I've tried pnethood, but nothing seems to happen. Do I need to install Samba, or is it already there?
I am downloading a Samba pet to have a go with that.

EDIT
I installed Samba, but it gave me a segmentation fault!
I have compiled a few more things.

I've never used samba, but i thought it was for sharing files between a Linux System and Windows System.

Anyhow, I have discovered an easier method: you can mount your puppi.img ...

Example: First, create a folder called /mnt/imgdisk (or whatever name you prefer), then use the following terminal command:

mount -o loop /path/to/puppi.img /mnt/imgdisk

Unfortunately, I don't know what the unmount command in Puppy is:
I thought it was "unmount" but, I guess that doesn't exist in Puppy.

EDIT: I just found out that the unmount command would be: umount /mnt/imgdisk

umount, not unmount

Good point ... why didn't I think of that?

I have been trying to have go at Assembly code today. I kept getting segmentation faults!
Do I use "as" or do I need a specific arm assembler?

[Lobster]

I am not sure that qemu would work on the assembly level?
. . . apparently it does . . . wow
