I have been experimenting with Corepup-7
I have a recent Chromium running ...corepup-7 in this configuration takes about 57 megs of RAM

there is barely anything else. One could of course add to it.

some interesting tools to get you started if you want to try it out.

I have been experimenting with Corepup-7

neat! which of these is the latest and greatest? Seems it's up to 8 or 9. How to install? Looks like you have to run a script(s) to upgrade 6?

I find the Corepup-7 created by using the script mcorepup06.fig produced an ISO of 65 megs, to be the better well rounded version. corepup-8 and corepup-9 are minimal and I think you may like them but to get the hang of it Corepup-7 is the gateway.

To run the script I have used both Puppy Linux Tahr 6.0.6 and Bionic 18.05+8 to build corepup-7...

insure Python 2.7 is installed (I needed to make a symlink python to python2)

I create a directory /root/ftpd/Corepup
I place there a copy of CorePlus-6.4.1.iso, fig46.py, mcorepup06.fig

then I open a terminal in /root/ftpd/Corepup
and use the command ->

Code: Select all

python fig46.py mcorepup06.fig

followedby ->

Code: Select all

./mcorepup06.fig.py

I install the iso manually to a usb stick formated to ext4 with boot flag set on
create a directory copy the contents of the corepup-7.iso to the folder and rename /cde to /tce

I then use Grub4Dos to make the usb drive bootable and then manually add these lines to menu.lst

Code: Select all

title Corepup-7 jwm test
  uuid 7c0c8c85-da6f-4699-8bd2-6dfa6feae012
  kernel /Corepup-7/boot/vmlinuz showapps tce=sda1/Corepup-7/tce/ desktop=jwm waitusb=5
  initrd /Corepup-7/boot/core.gz

title Corepup-7 icewm test
  uuid 7c0c8c85-da6f-4699-8bd2-6dfa6feae012
  kernel /Corepup-7/boot/vmlinuz showapps tce=sda1/Corepup-7/tce/ desktop=icewm waitusb=5
  initrd /Corepup-7/boot/core.gz

your UUID will be of course your storage device.
I have also used root (hd0,0) for example instead of UUID when using a hard drive.

when corepup-7 first boots you will need to use a terminal and goto the drive root and adjust the ownership of the /tce directory so Corepup-7 can write to it.
check the threads for more info! Good Luck!

many thx for the detailed steps! i won't have opportunity to try it anytime soon, tho. Hope corepup will become a stable iso someday
