Litepup 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 have been have all been the same as iPup but without Firefox. Basically iPup lives on as Litepup.

Thanks for the quick response.

I'm making my first baby steps in linux.

I'm trying to run puppy on a 128MB RAM laptop. The program runs swiftly until I install firefox. It becomes then very sluggish, even if I let it reboot after installation.
I thought that I was maybe doing something wrong and was therefore hopping with your iPup to see if a correct installation of Firefox caused the same problem.

I just ran your litepup version but miss there the tool present in the standard package which allows one to create an internet connection. I'm sure it is possible to create this connection without the tool but do not have the skills to do it.

Can you help me out somehow by either:
-telling me how to correctly install firefox without slowing down puppy
-sending me an old version of iPup you still have lying around

In addition if you can post a link to a page explaining how one can create an internet connection without the tool present in the standard puppy package...

Cheers!

I am really at a loss. I sent a "private message" to Barry, but haven't received a reply. I remember there being a way to speed up Firefox, but don't remember what it is. (Thus the "private message" to Barry.)

"Raffy" has Minipup that he has designed for systems such as you are describing. The website for Minipup can be found at http://bexa.org/pup/.

I have posted a iPup 1.03 (65 MB). A cautionary note, this image does not include the zdrv squash file which will need to be downloaded from ibiblio.org.

Thanks Todd, I'm looking forward to testing it

Which Puppy did you base this on? Did you use Unleashed?

May I suggest, to avoid confusion, that you add the base Puppy version to your version, e.g. iPup-2.14-1.03?

Also, perhaps, a brief summary of changes made? Might be good to start a "history" file on your website.

I have re-setup the website http://www.ipup.info/ to address the questions posed by "pakt". Thank you for the feedback!

Todd

Thanks Todd, nice page

Paul

I have added dotpups for Flash and Java to the http://www.ipup.info/ website.

placed next to your pup_save.2fs squash file.

believe it or not some people may not be sure where that is . . .

I have created a new iPup. This current release is based on BarelyPup. However, I am working on setting up my own divergent line (similar to what Grafpup has done), based on 2.13 framework but with updated files. It takes a lot of work but. . .I think it will be worth it.
