>>>UPDATE...BuddaPup_217 replaced by BuddaPup_Dingo, see bottom of thread. Very Happy

@ Laptop users, I always boot Puppy with ACPI=OFF to keep my fan
running..ACPI=FORCE might also work for some laptops... Very Happy

[/quote]Enlightenment is fast. No, really. It's fast. It is known to run on very slow machines (like 100 Mhz CPU, 64 MB of RAM) well. So you really don't need a modern desktop to see some eye-candy and to use a modern graphical environment. Even more – you can control how fast you want it by using it's Performance configuration panel to change the cache settings and more. Enlightenment.org[/quote]

@Puppyluvr: Is wbar possible in Enlightenment? Maybe worth a try. If it works, will make Buddapup more attractive. Smile

I will let you know my feedback after trying this one. Thanks for your work.

Hey Prit1

As for wbar, it`s doubtfull, because Enlightenment pretty much overwrites everything..Menu`s , Background`s, Icon`s, Theme`s, the whole 9 yards...
E17 comes with Ibar and Idock, (seen above) , but it might be worth trying...
I`d like to get a version of Cairo-Dock for 217..But Enlightenment
would probably overwrite it too.. Very Happy

Enlightenment is kind of a beast, but worth it if you can tame her.. Very Happy

Thanks....Jay....

@Puppyluvr: Good news. I burned your Buddapup_2.17 and now am online using that. Looks great. Thanks for all the work on this version.

Tried my favorite video streams but did not work. I always have had success using gxine online epecially on 2.17.

One suggestion: If you can have better resolution icons, might look better.

GREAT Job. Smile

Thank`s Prit1 Very Happy

Flash should be pre-inabled in Firefox, but Firefox treats fullscreen flash as a
Pop-up...which it is. You have to enable pop-up`s for the site..
MPlayer still refuses to fullscreen even tho I installed the codecs.. I will figure
it out ASAP...LOL...
Opera, meanwhile, is a little more tricky...The PET I used comes with Flash
already set-up (Thanks to Ttuuxxx) and works "out of the box" on my other remasters..
I`ve already tried installing the Flash Tarball, The Flash for Opera pup, ect..IDK.
I`ll get on that ASAP too.... Very Happy

Thank`s....Jay

It might be a decent idea to change the name, pushing religion is something that can really upset people.

Hello

Well, after 2 weeks and 19 remasters Embarassed

I`ve finally figured it out..(and learned a lot about Puppy along the way} ..E17 changes the directory structure of the puppy its running on..
This causes the remaster script to "miss" things...(like Root and Ect.) Once you configure Enlightenment to your tastes the remaster doesnt work right..So I think I`m going to make an ISO out of this mulitsession Puppy.
I have this version running on 3 machines in my house,( 1 full install, 1 pup-save, and 1 frugal, plus the multisession cd).... even the one I`m on right now (My Wifes DELL laptop, only the second Puppy I`ve gotten to run on it, the other being wNOP}
Here is a shot of how it looks right now.. The Iconbox on the right by the clock shows minimized programs, and the icons rotate and move, while the flames flicker..and the rain falls..
I`ll create a sharable ISO of it yet Mad

Will post further results.... Very Happy

Hello

Well, I FINALLY got it .. Very Happy

BuddaPup_217_final.iso ...The url is http://puppylinux.ca/members/BuddaPup/
I finally had to just rebuild the SFS myself.. The ISO is 223mb, and runs on my P3 600mhz w/256mb ram. It flies on my 1.8g P4 w/768ram Very Happy

I have not tried it on a 128ram machine yet.
Removed OpenOffice for size reasons, went with Abi-word/ABS instead..
The fire is still burning, but I turned off the rain by default for lower performance machines, its in {start/configuration/modules} if you want to turn it on.. Changed all the icons and added some more backgrounds..
.....STATS......
BuddaPup 217 contains: FatFree Puppy 217
Enlightenment E17
Firefox w/Flash
Opera w/Flash
Gaim
MPlayer
XMMS
Grafburn and Gcombust
Abi-Word
ABS Spreadsheet Editor
Bluefish
MTPaint 3.20

Issues: Enlightenment pops up a warning message when you close some programs
Ignore it and close the window..ABS start-up screen wont go away, just iconify it to get it out of the way. Fallback Window Manager is JWM..
I also recommend upgrading to Ttuuxxx`s Firefox+Flash+Java..Works great!!!!
If you have wireless trouble. try the dhcpcd-3.1.4.pet
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=5333
It took a long time and a stiff neck, so I hope someone enjoys this one.. Very Happy

Here is a screenshot off the default desktop...

Try BuddaPup
its a puppy linux with enlightenment as the WM
It is lightning fast
it uses dr17 Enlightenment and 2.17 puppy
I wish I was more experienced, I would make my own version of this combo and distribute it. I may still do that.

@@Thanks SirTigger!!!!

I just downloaded both the Buddapup's 215 wouldnt start xrog at all got it up on xversa but display was way to large 217 went a bit better display looked ok . now how do i connect to the net with my wireless?
this and sound has been the downfall on this Gateway MT3421 from the start so far puppy 4 has been the only thing that will work.

I like puppy 4 but ive got the ram and HD space so im looking for a bit more eye candi .

Im pretty much a noob with linux and puppy but im starting to understand things a little more with help of forums and wiki's.

PS if you ever see a Gateway on the roadside keep on going

puppyluvr · Posted: Fri 06 Jun 2008, 09:44 Post subject: connecting to the net

Hello trucker33377 Very Happy

The little magic hat on the I-bar is the Wizard. Click "connect by network interface"
If Puppy doesnt auto recognize your wireless card , please post your card make/model
here so we can hook you up with the right drivers..I think gateway uses broadcom , but Im not sure....

@Shame about Xorg in 215 not working for your gateway...I had the same trouble with my wifes dell...Only machine I couldnt get 215 to run on (till now LOL) 217 works fine on hers too.. I think its related to the intel 910/935 graphics in her dell..Strangely enough, wNOP runs great on her dell where BuddaPup 215 wont!!..I tested 215 on every machine I could, but we dont have a gateway...

Thanks for trying my Enlightened Puppies..hope one works out for you...
For a more basic, but full featured Puppy, try Transitions..(same url)
For even more eye=candy try TigerPup / wNOP/ or Macpup

puppy 4 seamonkey has rtl8180 thats working

other issue is tar.bz2

i would like to use this with secondlife but ive not figured out how to get it to run after i put it in the folder. buntu let you run the secndlife file from the folder without doing a full install. option run then it runs in the browser so you can log in to the game

i was really wowed when i put this distro on my old panasonic p2 128MB ram and saw how well it looked good job.
( I picked up 3 panasonic toughbooks off ebay , didnt really want them but then i didnt think 20 bucks would buy all 3)
all 3 had bad batterys put them in the deep freeze they work now just fine Wink

Ill have to try the deep freeze trick on my Wife`s laptop...THX Very Happy

Hope my Pup works good for you..Remember E-17 is still in alpha and considered unstable..
Please post any strange things it does, cause after a while I may Remaster it again with any bug-fixes I uncover by then...
