There is g_pup (search for it in this forum) but it is based on 4.1.2.

With quite a few US friends on the Fedora forum and relatives in Australia I can endorse the saying ' two nations divided by a common language '! As for en_CY ( Welsh ) and Irish english, the mind boggles!

@ thom
please see this post http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=46326 for the remake with the retro-kernel.

please report back if it works for you.

You're right, my brain seems to have i/o-errors. i will have to run smartctl to check.

@ aragon

the problem i have had with those instructions mate is this line

# tar -zxf puppy-unleashed-core-2.xx.tar.gz

it dose not work, it reports multiple errors and stuff to do with read-write change errors.

Nekroze,

?? On what kind of filesystem filesystem is the tar.gz stored ??

!! Maybe simple use the gui-archiving tool to extract !!

aragon

@ Nekroze:
Let me guess, you mounted an ext3 partition to extract your unleashed on... If the tar uncompresses in spite of the read-only errors, I wouldn't worry about them. I have that all the time and tar is uncompressing fine.

@ Aragon:
I apologize in advance for the many questions that follow; please feel free to ignore them...
I am not 100% sure what building on unleashed really does. Do you rebuild everything from scratch, including the drivers and modules? If yes did you strip out some of them to the price of compatibility?
Does the package list attached in your first post basically state the content of Barebones? If yes, I can't see <package> (replace <package> by anything, like geany, seamonkey, cups, etc...) in the list, how do I install it (I know how to build from source, but of course .pet or PPM way is more than welcome )

i won't, to ask them seems to be traceable (for me).

no, basically you're combining the official packages in your own way, with an official release as a template.

If yes did you strip out some of them to the price of compatibility?

if we are talking about kernel-modules: no.

yes

you can't see as nothing replaces nothing... this is the concept of a barebone-puppy. it's just a base to build your own puppy.

how do I install it (I know how to build from source, but of course .pet or PPM way is more than welcome )

simply with the package-manager (or any other way you like and is useable in puppy).

aragon

Excellent, therefore Barebones seems to be the best way to start creating some personalized puppy. Thanks for your work and for sharing your effort.

Could be the filesystem you are extracting to. I tried over a network drive under an NTFS environment and got a bunch of errors too.
