#3 Post by PeterSieg »

Hi, probably not implemented yet? Just want to let you know, that I
have booted 1.0.4 bare bones from iso image that also contains
opttools.sfs on cd root. It was NOT mounted automatically..

PS
Have fun :)

Peter,
It is supposed to work... of course... but I forgot to actually test the code...
anyway, copy opttools.sfs to /mnt/home/, then reboot, see if that does the trick.
...presuming booting from live-CD.

I just downloaded 1.0.4 and installed OpenOffice. Works like a charm. Nice addition!

Will the full modules package be available for this version, or is it already? I need to work on my sata drive.
I love it when a plan comes together

A surprise in store?

In the News Page dated 19July05

Under the heading "The future"

The last couple of lines

"...On the other hand, I may not do any of the above, as I had an interesting idea yesterday..."

Has PuppyMaster (Barry) got something up his sleeve that we are not privy to yet?

Very intriguing!

Automount opttools.sfs

#7 Post by PeterSieg »

HI Barry,

you wrote:

How can I do that in my environment?
Here at work I have only w2k with qemu, the 1.0.4 iso image with
opttools.sfs put in cd root (same place as usr_cram.fs is located).

At home I have a PC with DVD+USB-Stick holding pup100 personal settings etc. NO HDD at all...

PS
Have fun :)

I can't help you myself Peter, but I feel the uncontrollable urge to do a little dance of joy... I didn't realize how excited I was until this morning, when I saw that cute litttle puppy's face up at the top of Distrowatch News....
Great job everyone-

Looking forward to burning this puppy (o u c h !)

Danlef,
I just uploaded the modules tarball to ibiblio.org.

Peter,
Is there room on the usb stick, to put it in the same place as the pup100 file?
if so, that should work.

No room on usb stick :(

#10 Post by PeterSieg »

Hi Barry, its just a 128k stick :(

Anyway, for the time being, it's no problem at all to mount it manually..
But for future releases, I think it would be good, if Puppy searches also
at the same location as it does for usr_cram.fs...

1.0.4 looks good! I like option 3!

Greetings,
Peter
Have fun :)

Just a note of thanks for this new release. I got broadband at home a few weeks ago and had trouble getting Puppy 1.03 to configure the ethernet setup.

I don't know if any change was made to this with 1.04, or if the operator (me) was incompetent, but everything was much easier this time.

OpenOffice is a nice addition and makes Puppy more complete as a desktop option. It's too much to ask for the 1.9 beta I suppose? :)

Chubby is proving very popular and we might need a torrent if anyone is up for it . . .
Only just managed to download the Chubby Puppy :) the download site has been busy for the last two days.

it's easy to make a torrent file
ctorrent is supposed to be able to make torrent files
hard part is finding a tracker for it
http://linuxtracker.org/ is a tracker that could be used

something like:

ctorrent -t -u http://linuxtracker.org/announce.php -s puppy104.torrent puppy-1.0.4-mozilla.iso

dijjer is another way to spread the bandwidth using peer-to-peer

Where to find Puppy Linux Peer-2-Peer distribution points

#15 Post by J_Rey »

I've updated the Wiki page that tells where to find Puppy Linux P2P file distribution points: http://www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/PuppyP2PDistribution. It now has torrents for Puppy Linux 1.0.4 and Chubby Puppy Linux 1.0.4. It is a Wiki page so, of course, feel free to add any more info as appropriate. If its easier then you can just let me know what's new and I'll add it for you.[/url]
