@john3voltas, simargl compiles the kernel himself and sadly never compiles the module. Although it is possible to switch AlphaOS's kernel with the kernel from Slacko or Precise.

Is there an easy way to combine two sfs into one?

Is it as easy as unsquash, merge and resquash?

Any gotchas?

I have combined the sfs from 6.0 and 7.0 exactly that way with no problems. I usually have them both unsquashed anyway to add or subtract from them and then just copy them sequentially into a merged directory and squash it. Carolina, which I use often has a little more flexible GUI copy, but alphaOS has better compression parameters, good for roughly 10% more squash. I have modded my linas with them also see http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=81312&start=765 . No real caveats other than the usual EXT FS ONLY! and backup backup backup. Once a version is 'stable', having them merged makes it easier for me to keep track of what I add etc. There is also a clever rightclick in the 7.0 lina to do the combination but I haven't tried it out. Merging and squashing works ok for me and I can see what I'm doing.

Simargl... Thank You. I am making good progress in understanding and using AlphaOS 7. A while back, I figured out how to log onto my wireless router. And, now, thanks to your feedback, I can use pacman. I have successfully downloaded firefox and a few other apps that I needed.

You asked me to post the output when I used the command pacman -Syu The following is the current output:
[root@alphaos ~]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
alphaos is up to date
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do
[root@alphaos ~]#

Suggestion: You need to change the pacman help manual in alphaOS 7 to state that the command for downloading packages is pacman -S firefox (as an example)... not pacman -Sf firefox as it currently states.

Anyway, Thanks Again.

Sorry, another question: When I open my miscellaneous file... the icons have pictures of "locks". Why? Can I get rid of these and just have the regular icons? I don't like locked folders.

By the way, even with the pictures of locks, the files still open, but you cannot copy all of the contents of a particular folder to another folder. However, some of the contents do get put in the other folder?

Again, Thank You...

hi, has anyone get this error when using yaourt?

Code:
curl error: Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)


I have loaded devel sfs and added archlinuxfr repo to pacman.conf, maybe missing something?

Regards,

Sorry I can't understand this, is problem in image thumbnails that are not refreshing or in spacefm not displaying read only folder. For missing emblems in read-only folders, and other things that need fixing I made bug reports in spacefm page https://github.com/IgnorantGuru/spacefm/issues

My folder with various sfs files show locked icons... none of the other sub-folders in my main folder have locked icons ? Not sure why this folder's icons show the "lock" ?

yr1945, that is not lock - it's just default icon for sfs files, I replaced older 48 pixel with this better looking and larger icon, guess you don't like it Very Happy Cheers

Simargl, see another screen snapshot. The note says "fatal... galculator not found". That's the reason I thought they were locked. They they will not load ? Any other Puppy OS will load them.

Anyway, Thank You for your reply. I will just download a couple more apps that I need via pacman.

I believe that you have an excellent OS here... Keep up the good work !!

I've never used Arch but just installed your alphaOS 7.0 frugal. Booted fine on my old Fujitsu Siemens laptop (Pentium M 1.6 GHz CPU with 1MB Ram), which I do most of my Puppy development work on. Interesting distribution. Good luck with this. It's an interesting distribution and I hope it gets well supported.

Note: Posted this message also in alphaOS forum http://alphaos.tuxfamily.org/forum on this occasion since one thread here on murga forum may not be enough longterm for a distribution that is quite a bit different from any usual Puppy derivative. For that reason, in future I'm more likely to post on the alphaOS forum when comment specific to that version.
