(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Thanks Tony. I'll mention that to him... though he'll probably want to start off with something less challenging.

Hi Miriam,

I must admit that I started off with the game as a "shootemup" and later settled for just circuits and bumps on the old ww1 aircraft.

Regards Tony

Woo hoo! I just finished downloading the slackware binaries and they work perfectly.
http://packages.flightgear.org.uk/slackware-12.2/
That is for version FlightGear 2 and I'm using it on Puppy 3.0.1.

I had previously tried to compile FlightGear, but had some trouble, however in doing that I also downloaded and compiled SimGear http://www.menet.umn.edu/~curt/simgear/downloads.html. If the slackware binaries don't work for other people (they work on mine) then you might need SimGear too... however, I kinda doubt you'll need it.

I'll try to download the FlightPup liveCD iso again today (the download failed yesterday, part way through). When I have that I'll be able to demonstrate it on anybody's machine without having to install it. Thanks again to CatDude for uploading the FlightPup iso.

Hello miriam

If you are having trouble downloading via the browser, then use wget instead.

Open ROX-Filer and go to the directory where you save your downloads,
then open a terminal in that directory and use the following command:
If for any reason you get disconnected, just re-run the command and it will pick up where it left off.

Hope this helps

Hi CatDude. Yep, that's what I used, though without the '-c' to continue. I'll try continuing what I downloaded earlier and see if it gets the rest. Thanks for the suggestion. I much prefer wget rather than browser downloading because it is much more reliable. I was very surprised when it didn't get the whole thing.

Cool! cthisbear has uploaded it too. Good on ya.

CatDude, I continued the download using wget last night and checked it with md5sum. It showed bad checksum. So I downloaded it again. This time wget made it all the way through. However when I ran md5sum on that it also checked out as bad.

Are you sure the checksum is correct?
Both my downloads show md5sum value of: This is different from the checksum value given online.

They won't boot due to corrupt kernel.

Does anybody else get the same problem? It takes me about 10 hours to download this, but I'll try again anyway.

Miriam,
If you've not got this to work yet, Pm me with an address and I'll post you a CD. I'm in West Aus so it shouldn't take too long.

Hi John. Nope I haven't got it to work. I would be very grateful if you could do that. I'll pay for the postage. I'll pm you...

I have the same problem as miriam.

Have downloaded from two different locations and after writing to cd it gives me invalid or corrupt kernal image error .

Any ideas? Or can I order a live cd that works from somewhere?

Hi

@ miriam
So sorry for not responding sooner, but i have only just seen your post.

Absolutely sure.
The ISO that i uploaded had the following md5sum: c1e485f6ca6300d6af9ae18d2d4628a1

Code: Select all

d2d30bca577c310feced8f80fa4817c9  FlightPup-v1.iso

This is different from the checksum value given online.

Well, i just download the ISO from the link cthisbear gave: http://www.2shared.com/file/QsFPYDTC/FlightPup-v1.html
and that gives the same md5sum you are getting, so i can only assume that it is corrupted.

Also, as you are probably aware,
most (if not all) ISO's over 100MB (that includes the FlightPup-v1.iso) on Caneri's servers have been deleted by the Morons otherwise known as his hosts.

@ aracnachid
I will upload it somewhere in the morning, then post a link here.

That sounds like a good idea mate, and very kind of you too.

You can PM me if you like.

aracnachid, I'd be happy to post you the FlightPup CD along with another disk containing the iso, as John Lewis kindly did for me.

Just PM me your postal address and I'll try to pop it in the mail today.

Ummm... that goes for anyone else who has had difficulty downloading it too.

CatDude, thanks for the thought. I appreciate it. I now have the iso though, thanks to John Lewis posting the disk(s) to me via snail-mail.

I will pass on that favor to anyone who asks.

Hi

Thanks to the generosity of smokey01
you can now download it from here:

FlightPup-v1.iso

That's OK my dear, no problem

Thanks CatDude and Smoky01. I grabbed a copy. The md5sum checks out too.

Thanks miriam for posting the flightpup disks to me. I am happy to pass the favor on for anyone having trouble getting a copy or downloading the iso.

If anyone wants a copy of flightpup sent to them please send me a personal message and I will be happy to.

Thanks again miriam

hello flightgear lovers

flightpup1 is the only way for me to get decent framerates out of my older equipment (ati x1300). fglrx isn`t working anymore with modern xorg-versions for that card, with puppy3/4 it is. with the opensource driver radeon (tried in ubuntu) the framrate is unplayable low.

since flightgear 2 has arrived some time ago, I searched the web for something like flightgear2.pet or even a preconfigured flightpup2 as followup for flightpup1.

has anybody an idea where to find something like flightgear2.pet?
or could JB4x4 continue with his nice work he did on flightpup1?

thanks for any answers!
