Nice job. Great base to build upon (or not). I've been running 109CE, 213,215CE and 216EZ but thought this be just the thing for a fanless VIA 800 box I have. 216EZ runs a bit slow on that box so I wanted to upgrade it to "FatFree217". However. I think there must be a problem in the wlan setup (worked great with 216EZ) as I get device recognition and then the cpu runs so hard the clock updates about every 5 to 10 seconds, mouse is unusable and a reboot and skip of the check to see if the wlan is alive doesn't even make the system usable. I haven't tried the full 217 but guess the problem is really there.

Hopefully puppy 3.0.0 will play better with my H.W. and you will make a 'Fat Free' version of that.

Thanks,
KJ

Bare Bone style Puppys are very useful. I must admit I lean towards the Chubby style Puppys . . .

With Ezpup
and my evolving add on

those people needing the lean with some selected add-ons (they can of course use the package installer) will be able to customise a useful Puppy breed of their own . . Wink

I tryed Fat Free yesterday for the first time and it seems to me a great idea since I can start from a basic Puppy to costumize without having to learn how to build it from scratch...

Do you plan to create a Fat Free Puppy 3.0? Very Happy

oui · Posted: Fri 12 Oct 2007, 14:03 Post subject: great !

bonjour big_bass

great, really!

thank you very much!

I did add:

wine (.28 from dotpups.de)
Konqueror (standard package in puppy)
of course with qt3 (needed also by much goodies: opera, skype, lyx etc.)
and OO220_215.sfs*

and I have a really great and fast system with OO 2.2 ! and wine .28 !

I would consider on your place if it is usefull to maintain the ROX-filer!

Konqueror is really better, do more and better!

Thank you again

salut

For some reason I thought that Konqueror required KDE. Am I wrong?

bonjour

you are "almost" right.

but embedded Konqueror is a regular puppy package (try it!
"install" > "package manager" etc... and look yourself)

I use now "fatfree" on Puppy 2.17 + konqueror + Open Office 2.2 + wine .28 !

all does wonderfull !

ttuuxxx, do you have a fatfree 2.17 iso available for download? I would be keen to try it as a possible rescue CD to fit on a business card sized CDR. (50mb-ish capacity)

cheers

Thanks Hoven. I didnt realise the fatfree was 53mb. I tried burning some other small versions of puppy last night and found that the 50mb limit is strict so I have to go under 50mb.

The 4.2.1 is just over the limit too, unless I can find some way to force overburn. Thanks for the link, I will give it a try.
