01micko has created a number of Puppy derivatives and PHATSlacko is one of them.

Its the opposite of thinslacko and previously called FATSlacko, designed for production. PHAT means Productivity enHanced And Tuned.

PHATSlacko 5.5.02 was released on Mar 11, 2013. More information : http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84913

Download PHATSlacko-5.5.02-ORIGINAL.iso (409 mb) from : http://puppylinuxstuff.meownplanet.net/ ... ko-5.5.02/

Features
based on slacko 5.5
includes kernel 3.8.2 source, md5, devx etc
minimum system: pentium 686 class processor, with the PAE instruction, 2GHz single core, 1 GHz dual core, 1 GB RAM, preferably with swap.
runs well on a USB stick, using f2fs (Flash Friendly File System).
LibreOffice 4.0.1 - full office suite
Samba 4.0 - for serving your files across the network
VLC 2.0.5 - default for watching DVD's and videos
Audacious 3.3.4 - default for mp3's and CD's plus Pmusic too
Kompozer - for HTML editing
Transmission 2.77 - with GTK+3 libraries
JRE 1.7 Update17 - no browser plugin enabled
Ipscan 0.3 - Angry IP Scanner, uses Java.

I have created 4 new Chinese Language pets for PHATSlacko 5.5.02:

phatslacko-5502-zhhk-fx-7.3.0.pet
phatslacko-5502-zhhk-sm-7.3.0.pet
phatslacko-5502-zhcn-fx-7.3.0.pet
phatslacko-5502-zhcn-sm-7.3.0.pet

In order to conserve storage space and download time, I have uploaded 4 delta.pet files to the public sharing folders. Please see first post for the download addresses.

thinslacko-5504-zhhk-fx-7.3.0.pet__phatslacko-5502-zhhk-fx-7.3.0.pet.delta (1.6 mb)
thinslacko-5504-zhhk-sm-7.3.0.pet__phatslacko-5502-zhhk-sm-7.3.0.pet.delta (1.6 mb)
thinslacko-5504-zhcn-fx-7.3.0.pet__phatslacko-5502-zhcn-fx-7.3.0.pet.delta (1.7 mb)
thinslacko-5504-zhcn-sm-7.3.0.pet__phatslacko-5502-zhcn-sm-7.3.0.pet.delta (1.7 mb)

To get the pet, just download "A.pet" with "A.pet__B.pet.delta" and run the delta file
For example, to get "phatslacko-5502-zhhk-fx-7.3.0.pet":
1. download 2 files: thinslacko-5504-zhhk-fx-7.3.0.pet and thinslacko-5504-zhhk-fx-7.3.0.pet__phatslacko-5502-zhhk-fx-7.3.0.pet.delta
2. put them in the same folder
3. run thinslacko-5504-zhhk-fx-7.3.0.pet__phatslacko-5502-zhhk-fx-7.3.0.pet.delta
4. a new file phatslacko-5502-zhhk-fx-7.3.0.pet will be created
5. check that the new pet file is executable, if not, change it to executable before applying

I have tested the latest released universal half-Chinese Language pets:

fcitx-420-en-zh-7.3.1.pet
SCIM-147-en-zh-7.3.1.pet

and they can handle PHATSlacko 5.5.02 already.

In order to save storage space and upload/download time, I have decided to use a new approach to release the Chinese Language pets.

Background
The existing method creates 6 independent pets for each English Puppy:
A. 2 Universal half-Chinese Language pets -- for fcitx input platform and SCIM input platform
B. 4 full Chinese Language pets
a. Simplified Chinese with fcitx input platform
b. Simplified Chinese with SCIM input platform
c. Traditional Chinese with fcitx input platform
d. Tradtional Chinese eith SCIM input platform

Each group of 6 Old Chinese Language pets has duplication in these area:
1. The fcitx and SCIM input platform exist in 3 different pets
2. The Chinese font file exist in all 6 pets

Key changes in the new approach:
A. there are no changes in the universal half-Chinese Language pets. There will still be 2 universal half-Chinese Language pets, 1 for fcitx and 1 for SCIM input platforms.
B. the full Chinese Language pets will be changed as follows:
a. the number of full Chinese Language pets will be reduced from 4 to 2, 1 for Simplified Chinese and 1 for Traditional Chinese
b. the fcitx and SCIM input platform and Chinese font files will be removed
c. the user needs to install either 1 of the universal half-Chinese Language pets to get the Chinese fonts and 1 of the input platforms
d. the new size of the full Chinese Language pets will be reduced to about 1 mb for the Traditional Chinese and 2 mb for the Simplified Chinese pets
e. to reflect the changes, the names of these pets will be called zhhk and zhcn (dropping the fx and sm)

The first English Puppy using this approach is the ce 4 and the names of the new pets are:
1. ce-4-zhhk-8.0.0.pet (1 mb) and
2. ce-4-zhcn-8.0.0.pet (2 mb)

To use these pets:
a. install either one of the universal half-Chinese Language pets (latest version is fcitx-420-en-zh-7.3.1.pet (12 mb) and SCIM-147-en-zh-7.3.1.pet (20 mb))
b. install either one of the new pets for Traditional Chinese or Simplified Chinese

The new pets are available now in the public sharing folders. Please see the first posting of this subject for the download addresses.

The 64bit Puppy system family has 2 new additions, Fatdog64 630rc2 and Slacko64 5.8.6.

I am creating new Chinese Language pets for them using the same approach as for the 32bit Puppy system:

a. first create universal half-Chinese Language pets with Chinese font file and Chinese input platform (either fcitx or SCIM)

b. followed by a version specific Chinese Language pet to display desktop and menus in Chinese but without the Chinese fonts and Chinese input platform

Part(a)has now been done and 2 new half-Chinese Language pets for the 64bit Puppy system were uploaded to the public sharing folder:
fcitx64-420-en-zh-1.0.0.pet
SCIM64-1414-en-zh-1.0.0.pet

Please see first post of this subject for the download addresses

Features of these half-Chinese Language pets:

1.each can handle anyone of these 3 64bit Puppy English systems:
lighthouse64 602; fatdog64 630rc2 and slacko64 5.8.6

2. fcitx64 has the fcitx input platform version 4.2.0 with 4 Chinese Input Methods

lighthouse64 is one of the 3 64bit English Puppy systems. The latest version is 602 (base and mariner) released on July 1, 2013.

Chinese Language pets for lighthouse64 602 Base and Mariner were made and released on July 10 and 15 2013. These pets were made using the previous style with each pet containing a Chinese font file and a Chinese input method platform. I have now modified these Chinese Language pets to:

1. remove the Chinese font file

2. remove the Chinese input platform

3. consolidate the Base and Mariner pets

these new pets (can handle both the Base and Mariner systems) are:

a. Simplified Chinese: lighthouse64-602BM-zhcn-1.0.0.pet

b. Traditional Chinese: lighthouse64-602BM-zhhk-1.0.0.pet

To use these Chinese Language pets, you have to install a 64bit universal half-Chinese Language pet first to get the Chinese font file and Chinese input method platform. The names of the latest 64bit universal half-Chinese Language pets are:

c. fcitx input platform: fcitx64-420-en-zh-1.0.0.pet

d. SCIM input platform: SCIM64-1414-en-zh-1.0.0.pet

These pets are now available for download in the public sharing folders. Please see the first post of this subject for the download addresses.

For more information about lighthouse64 602 including download addresses, please see my posts on July 10 and 15 2013.

Known issue:
After installing fcitx64-420-en-zh-1.0.0.pet, the lighthouse64 system becomes very unstable, screen can become frozen and requires a reboot - thus losing all current work. The SCIM pet is a lot more stable.

Further to my post on Jan 14, 2014 about Quirky 6.x, Barry has released quirky 6.1.4 on Jan 31, 2014.

For more information about Quirky 6.x: http://bkhome.org/news/viewCat=Quirky&p=1

To download latest quirky-6.1.4.usfs.xz (107 mb): http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky ... rky-6.1.4/

I have upgraded my Chinese Language pets to handle quirky 6.1.4 and the 2 new pets are:

quirky-6.1.4-zhhk-8.0.1.pet (2.8 mb) (Traditional Chinese)
quirky-6.1.4-zhcn-8.0.1.pet (2.9 mb) (Simplified Chinese)

version number 8.0.1 was used because I have updated some Chinese translations based on the input from an unnamed forum member.

Please note that starting from version 8.0.0, the Chinese Language pets do not include Chinese input method platform nor Chinese fonts. The recommend method to use these pets is to install a half-Chinese Language pet prior to install the above pets, the latest half-Chinese Language pet are:

fcitx-420-en-zh-7.3.1.pet (12 mb) for the fcitx input platform or
SCIM-147-en-zh-7.3.1.pet (20 mb) for the SCIM input platform

download tahr-6.0.1.usfs.xz (173 mb): http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky ... ahr-6.0.1/

In order to provide Chinese Language support for quirky tahr, I have updated the Chinese Language pets as follows:

In order to run either fcitx or SCIM input platforms, quirky-tahr requires a special gtk patch:
quirky-tahr-6.0.1-zh-gtk.patch.pet (2.9 mb)

This pet is kept separate from the universal half-Chinese pets because it is only needed for quirky-tahr and the size is too large to be absorbed into the universal half-Chinese Language pets

B. Universal half-Chinese Language pets:
New universal half-Chinese Language pets are required to give Chinese font file and Chinese input platform to quirky-tahr. The 2 new pets are:
fcitx input platform: fcitx-420-en-zh-8.0.0.pet (11.9 mb)
SCIM input platform: SCIM-147-en-zh-8.0.0.pet (19.6 mb)

C. Chinese Language pets
Chinese Language pets will provide Chinese desktop and menus for quirky-tahr, the names of the new pets are:
Traditional Chinese: quirky-tahr-6.0.1-zhhk-8.0.1.pet (2.5 mb)
Simplified Chinese: quirky-tahr-6.0.1-zhcn-8.0.1.pet (2.9 mb)

To use these pets:
1. To have Chinese fonts and Chinese input platform for quirky-tahr
a. install the gtk patch pets in A above,and
b. install either the fictx or SCIM universal half-Chinese Language fonts in B above

2. To have items in 1 above, Chinese desktop and menus for quirky-tahr
