Hello, nice release 666philb !

I've been looking for some time for a bones version that can run a decent web browser and that I can customize without having to remove 40 builtin packages

I have a problem with the Puppy Package Manager, it doesn't update repositories and the 'puppy-unicorn-official' is grayed and I can't remove it ,

Any clue or fix ? Thx.

hi ShokAIM,

i've updated the .pet on the first post. it should fix the updating the PPM problem

some new backgrounds.

Background unicorn 7 : j'achète !
(dowloaded and installed... on unicorNOPen hungarian Puppy )

"no video player no wordprocessor no osmo no planner no email no spreadsheet no pdf viewer no asunder no isomaster no transmission no homebank no clipboard no bacon (accidently, should be in)"
so many no made me search for a Puppy unicorn ready for use, with a PPM providing some new stuff compared to classic puppies.
unicorNOPen does not provide gnumeric and abiword, added thanks to the japanese SFS (7MB)

To get a Puppy thin, there are librairies to withdraw, much bigger than these little applications known as default ones in Puppy since puppy 3,
Bluetooth 3D are useless because no applications exist yet, even in Ubuntu. It's the fat to trim.
When a Puppy is released to public, programming stuff should be withdrawn because a user will rarely use it, and user's home applications kept (uncompressed, all puppy user bins and sbins are no more than 10MBs).
Browse with gdmap or treesize your puppy, you will see where there is clever cuts to do. Printing stuff or scanning are less needed than a mediaplayer, unless you don't listen music
Imagine the scandale in your family when you remove seats to keep your repair tools in your car ! you can remove the wheels too, because the car is always on the repair deck !
It's just my opinion. Slacko 5.3.3, Racy 5.3 or Dpup exprimo are full featured for home users. Sure icons themes and backgrounds are not a lot... but we can add those that we like easily, as this unicorn background .

I download yr version 666philb, for a try.
XFCE puplet from Hongrie is nice but PPM Utopic does not work well, i miss simplescreenrecorder and ffmpeg
Netsurf makes loose advantage of this very speedy Puppy, verifying sites .
Should I accept the certificate or not ? How could i know

"unicornpup is a stripped down 135mb woof build and can be used as a base for remastering. " Skamilinux.hu not only remasterised Unicorn, they got it a pin-up Puppy

Done. UnicorNOPen and Unicorn 6.0 are brothers (or sisters)
grammar question for translation :
Puppy is fast
it is fast he is fast she is fast
What subject is to be used ?

Remasterized with QtWeb. Why ? I could have prefered Palemoon, or slimboat but not opera, and not Dillo, they make loose my time a lot asking certificate every second.
See the magyar versions of 666phlbert unicorn here. these european developers had always been great in cartoons. They are great in remastering puppies too. Nice job.

"unicornpup is a stripped down 135mb woof build and can be used as a base for remastering. " LegOPen is a remasterization yet done by european hungarion Puppy guys. easy ! and very Nice.
Legopen Hungarian spoken here .
"Kimondottan Pen-re készült hordozható, kis méret (150 MB+Kernel), a feladatnak és a gépnek megfelelő
Puppy gyorsan összeállítható (LegO).
Alkalmas min. PIV 1500 MHz 512 MB gépekhez (PIII 1000MHz 128MB gépen kipróbáltam működött)" Très bien, bravo

Just to say that Augras pet works too with unicorn, . PPM loads packages from archives Tested with Legopen, the blue Danube version of Unicorn
I provide it free of charge at french forum here

PPM loads packages from archives but :

# gramps
.gramps.gen.utils.grampslocale.WARNING: ICU not loaded because No module named PyICU. Localization will be impaired. Use your package manager to install PyICU
Gdk, Gtk or Pango typelib not installed.
Install Gnome Introspection, and pygobject version 3.3.2 or later.
Install then instrospection data for Gdk, Gtk and Pango

gramps_3.3.1-1_all.deb: 7256 K installed instead. version_4.0.4+dfsg-2|gramps|4.0.4+dfsg-2

Unicorn 6.0 lets you take advantage of Unicorn packages. In fact i don't mind which puppy i use, which kernel, i only consider what apps i can run, really.
Qt libs are included, so you can play many diiferent apps than with Precise Puppies. Different, perhaps not better. But understand puppy passengers needs some new stuff

netsurf replaced by QtWeb. Seems really good (first tries)
Tested : YouTube, Facebook, Music bazaar, MusicMe
and Forum Puppy Linux Francophone.

Unicorn6 Puppy(noPae) v.2 Angol/Magyar, 2017, Jún
Improved version casting by Team Skamilinux. Dive, click, in the blue

Unicorn is sized to fulfill a CD, by Csipesz...
I keep my version, much faster to load, on my pendrive. But for people still burning ISO, few minutes more for so many applications is not a silly idea.
It's appreciated that Puppy Hungary takes care of his kennel, updating versions, improving them by light pinches of salt (or pepper)

U Light version 49 will surf the web keeping Unicorn 6.0 as light as we could.
Goffice Q1 10MB loaded on the fly, not for daily office homework as LIbre Office, but for takings notes or a quick spreadsheet.
Icons Vamox from the Hungarian version.

PPM based on Utopic can be updated, in spite of information here and there.
Bug is corrected by a pet provided first page of this topic.
Hungarian Puppy Linux team has just released a new version of Unicorn sized to fulfill a CD (as they like to do)
