Well done. Long overdue.
Good choice of Puppys Cool

Puppy 3.01 Standard Slack compatible - being developed further in a community Edition

Puppy Dingo 4 Final (2.6.21.7)
Latest and newest, much older software still needs compiling, setting
up for this new edition which only uses .pets at present

Puppy Fat Free 3.01
have not tried this - what is left out?

Puppy WNOP 0.2
Compiz Fuzion wobbly interface
- probably the Puppy with the most 'bling' interface

Puppy 2.15CE
Puppy gorgeousness
uses icewm, the 'Viz' community edition
is still popular with many users

Puppy 2.12 (with Zdrv)
Very stable 'modernised' reworking of the 2 series

Can you tell us something about how you achieved this? Smile

Thank you Wolf Pup

Is it difficult to make? Shocked

I have Teenpup2008 and Puppy 4 NOP isos.

Can you give us some guidelines on how to duplicate what you did?

That magic is so useful in making a bootable cd with many flavors of Puppy Linux to try and let others feel the magic. Very Happy

Thanks a lot.

Wolf Pup- I like this concept. I downloaded and burned the iso, but when I boot the disk, I get "grub>". What do I do to get the menu up and load some Puppys? By the way, I pressed TAB, got a list of commands to try and tried them all, to no avail. My computer boots up and goes straight from the system bios to the grub>.

@Wolf Pup: I have a similar version with multiple Puppies. How does remaster work if one uses a version from this Multi-Puppy? Do you have the Isolinux files also in the CD. But the boot.msg files will differ for each Puppy right?

A brilliant concept:
I am downloading now.

I would like a Puplet or mixed version.

Wouldn't it be great to download multi Puppies with your
boot choices concept?

Now that is something to work on.

Cheers...........Chris.

Thanks Wolf Pup. This is a great idea, and it is the CD to give away... 6 Puppies for the price of one.

And wNOP is unreal, I never got around to trying it before. Now that I have tried it, I feel like giving up on my own pup! Wow Shocked

Open a console/terminal in the same directory as your iso and md5.txt files are located and type the following.

md5sum -c puppy_fancy-1.2.8.iso.md5.txt

or just type md5sum puppy_fancy-1.2.8.iso and physically check the numbers by eye by opening the md5.txt file in an editor(Leafpad)

Best,
Eric

Downloading it to this computer would have taken around four weeks and I ran out of memory and space. So the memory thing is another thing I have to learn about. So I went over and downloaded it on our windows xp machine and burned the iso using the iso burner that I have used many times before successfully. I got the same thing. "grub>"

So I downloaded image to a mac, a puppy and an xp machine and got the same thing: three separate downloads, three separate cds, three identical grub>. Maybe cthisbear will have a definitive answer. Sorry I can't confirm anything about md5sum yet.

Thanks caneri for the tip.

I have attempted the download 4 times with pwget
the md5sum were the same (but wrong)
Has anyone successfully downloaded this version? Smile

It might not be uploaded correctly? Embarassed

File deleted untill a better connection to a wifi ap can be made to re-upload the file. Sad

OK. But I'm wondering is there anything I can change here on the disk, maybe on the grub file and see if it loads up? It appears as though I have the opening picture here it's just not telling it to load up correctly.

This is a copy of the boot/grub/menu.1st text.
