(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Now a question, i booted with option 5, first boot, hod do i to save the configs, net, xorg, ...? =)

Option 5, this is normal CD-operation I think? (not shure, I use a special harddisk-install, so have no such menu).

Usually, when you shutdown, you will be offered to save your settings in a file called pup_save.3fs.
This uses 512 MB (if available, else less), and includes its own internal ext3-filesystem.
On next boot, it is mounted automatically, and merged with the read-only folders of pup_201.sfs from the CD, that includes the base-system like X.
This is achieved using "unionfs", so it is possible to write to /usr/X11R6 for example, though originally it is write-protected (as it is on the CD).

one other note, in case you get strange compiler-errors, please look at this bugfix:
http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=9108 (4th message).

It is not needed for Quake itself, but maybe for some libraries.

Yeah, i did nothing extra, option 5 to boot, configure X with 3D and Nvidia, netcard.

In order to build q2p i compiled SDL from the main site, modified the Makefile adding -lvorbis and -logg and if 1 where you know.

Oki, time to reboot and see.

Cheers

Now i have it.

Fullscreen problem fixed by adding more screen modes, there was only one by default.

In other hand i had some issues where the puppy cd was, if i put the cd in my first device, the dvd-rw, the installer will not run properly and the files are not found,
i must to put the puppy cd in my second device.

Very nice, now enlightenment and some console editor and i'll be happy

Puppy has "mp" as consoleeditor.
I prefer mcedit from midnight-commander, you can install it with the dotpupdownloader in the setup-menu.

Or nano:

Enlightenment:
we have E16:

http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.p ... hlight=e16

Or in a big addon with lots of other stuff:
http://dotpups.de/puppy-releases/Megapu ... README.htm

Meanwhile Puppy offers a lot of additional programs except new Gnome-dependent applications.
If you miss anything, just ask

E17: I had a working CVS-release from august 2005 once, but removed it as my server was full.
But it was relatively easy to use, I had compiled it in Mandrake-Linux, and mounted the folder then in Puppy.
So if you have it already working in another system, this might work for you.
Just add "lib" from E17 to /etc/ld.so.conf
But you could compile in Puppy too, certainly.
I currently move some files from my server, so I could send you a password to upload a current version.

I know that this is an old topic, I was just wondering if this iso is still avaible?

Maybe Mark Ulrich (MU) could be persuaded to add some of these to Muppy? I suggest posing that question in the Muppy thread - see

http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=12160

Most for the games can be found here:

The ones with a July 2006 upload date are packaged with MU's dotpup wizard for easy removal.


Quake 3 with demo data can be found here:

http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Games/


It's the file called "icquake3.tar.gz".

I dont know if you found the iso
but its still at

http://mymirrors.homelinux.org/puppy/

hey just curious, is it possible to get wolfenstein: enemy territory with it?

Is there some way that I can merge the 108gameCD2 files (especially the NVIDIA drivers) with the latest Puppy?

I've tried upgrading the NVIDIA drivers from their web site, but I get an error message about the file wanting to install in root and that the Puppy installer doesn't allow that.

I wish there was an override for that error - I get it alot.

There are readmes with short instructions, but I did not try myself.

Hello Kirk,

I wish to have a look but I cannot access to the link....it seems as if the server was down... Do you have an alternative?

I am preparing a little remaster with games for my childrem's summer holydays and I am looking for Supertux....which is neither in dotpup.de..

Thanks
