(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Well, I finally figured out the easy way of creating an iso.
So, I will be releasing my flavor of puppy.
I'm still ironing out the kinks, but should be ready to go by
the end of this week.

Anybody interested in helping me out with the (whole) bittorrent thing.
That would be appreciative.

Will give more detail later.

if you are running Azureus, you can share files/folders from your machine by clicking File, Share ... it's that easy

you need to configure your torrent server first (mostly tell it your ip address ... which could be something like www.dyndns.org )

your Azureus torrent server will be available to anyone at www.your-ip:port ... they can download the torrent file there ... Opera users can download your iso just by clicking the torrent link

screenshot of my Azureus torrent server running on Puppy, serving a geexbox iso ... i did it just to show how easy it is ... someone would click on the file name on the left, under Torrents, to download the torrent

another way, is to make a torrent file for your iso (just as easy) and uploading the torrent to a tracker like http://linuxtracker.org/

READ POST BELOW!!!

My azureus lists one seeder and two leechers on this torrent, but it sure isn't downloading to my puppy. Which is unfortunate because I'd really like to try this puplet out. Something wrong with it? or the tracker? Anyone having more luck? Btw my azureus is working fine

You can download openoffice2.
If you choose to download openoffice open a terminal where you downloaded it. And type tar -xvzf openoffice2.tar.gz
This will extract the file, once done delete the tar.gz
Now go into the openoffice2 folder and then enter the program folder.
Look for an executable named soffice press that and it will walk you through.
Have fun.

Hardly ever used Limewire or Azareus . . .

The FTP link I could not link to or download
Limewire the name you suggested previously was not found . . .

Your ISO file seems to be nearly 200 meg? of which only 80.9meg is available so far?

I am keen to use the database in OOv2 so would appreciate help in getting and installing this ISO

Can anyone make sense of what is happening?

I am just floundering about here . . .

klhrevolutionist edited his previous posts to remove the methods that weren't working. Try to get the torrent again, should be fine now, 3 people have completed downloading it so far with four seeds. Just click on the name of the Revolution Puppy file and that'll open the torrent. Enjoy!

the easiest way to download using bit torrent is to use Opera 8.5 ... just click on the link at the left of the page, Revolution_Puppy.iso

I'm getting JWM and JWM only, and the peach-theme without the puppy-pic. Am I doing something wrong? Ok. As usual OO2 is cool though, and it seems to work too

Well, I don't know why that is happening. Icewm is the default.
but if it's not on there I will look at the build again.

At least it has openoffice 2.
Anyway you wanna tell the me what your desktop looks like ?
What programs are on there ?
give me some detail as to what is on there and is'nt.

It is probably picking up settings from your previously used pup001

Give me a screenshot of the desktop & these folders.
/root/

/root/my-roxapps/

/root/my-applications/

/usr/local/

Also, include your memory & ram specs

Here is how it looks first time it boots

Edit: Here is how it really looks... after I got icewm going and got a background pic in the right resolution. OO2 as well as the media codecs work beautifully

Would be a large undertaking to take away the superfluous aplications like f.ex. Abiword and Gnumeric as well as integrating OO2 in the menus? Maybe that will become my petproject.. at least I could learn something new

Hi, I downloaded the OpenOffice file only. I got error messages when unzipping it. The soffice file doesn't show in the program folder. The download was 103MB, which I think is correct.

If I do get OO2 going, is it okay to remove 1.1.4? Thanks.

My pup file was too small. I expanded it 512MB before trying OpenOffice 2.

I expanded again and deleted the old OpenOffice file and it worked fine.

Thanks to klhrevolutionist for his patience with PMs.

My Puppy is a highly modified version of the standard Mozilla, not a chubby.
