hi simargl,

i found the dev.sfs and kernel sources after posting.... the nvidia driver compiled ok, but on restarting i found i had lost mouse and keyboard..... guess i need to edit xorg.conf?

mavrothal,

you wouldn't want the filemnt script to use 'notify-send' rather than yaf-splash?

As far as I am concerned, this thread is closed.

Oh dear, I feared this may happen.

Lots of over zealousness about a decent "idea".

Some points to consider, and sorry mavrothal, whom I have had many dealings with and I consider a well respected member of this community, for the thread hijack.

What has recently been refered to as "Archpup" is not, by definition of a puppy, this is the first Archpup. and I could post many other links. (What defines a distro?)

@ simargl or whatever your handle will be in the coming.. I hope you have a thick skin.

Please restrict your murga-linux activity to the "puplets" thread. What you have created, by all accounts, is truly brilliant, but it's not Puppy, it's not a new idea, big_bass did it with slackware>>Slaxer_pup/TXZ_pup years ago as have others... Sickgut has done a brilliant job with Pussy (debian/apt based), at least 2 years old by now. Jemimah has oozed brilliance in many forms (puppeee, Fluppy, Saluki)and had took it upon herself to create her own community out of shear will and respect, leaving only one or two threads here over several years (distro specific) and giving back by sharing relevant work (pwireless2/frisbee) . These guys didn't start way too many threads and still have loyal following.

There is nothing wrong with forking in an open source world.. However, pay respect where and when it's due.

Cheers.

So, now you have found "excuse" to express your opinion, I guess you have some personal
"not-liking" related to me and that's why you never commented anything before.
This thread is created by mavrothal, xfce version by stifiling, I only start new discussion after
new release has been made.
If that deserves such a comment then fine, if admin wants to ban me I would leave gladly.

PS: Never thought so much hate would appear in the open source world...

But I am giving it back to the Puppy community, right? you talk like I constantly steal something from you, and
you're mad with a good reason.
When you go to archpup home page, it's written "this distribution is based on Puppy Linux", what else should I add
there, to make you happy.

It is not standard Puppy because it's not built by using woof, but it has everything that makes Puppy Linux the best
OS in this world, plus something more.
Do you really think, making Puppy Linux fully compatible with pacman is easy task, cause believe me it's not. Yet, I
nowhere insist to promote those tools and scripts, especially not to turn them into religion, if you know what I mean.
