Abiiword runs!
@Aragorn.
Thanks for the pointer, with the missing dependencies listed I managed to track all of them down and install them - libwv took some finding! - and Abiword now runs. All I have to do now is set up the dictionary/spell-checker for ' proper ' ( UK ) English , and I think I can remember how to do that, or at least where to find the relevant threads. One tip for anyone else in a similar position, make sure you install the right version of pets, I initially installed goffice 0.5, no joy, 0.6 was what was needed.

@ Nekroze
sorry overlooked.
a) smp
no it's not, as puppy 4.21 is not. there is actually no barebones-version with smp (i think)
b) problems unleashed
basically, you should follow http://puppylinux.com/development/puppy-unleashed.htm
potential pitfalls:
- do all steps in puppy!
- partition-type: ext2, etx3 or reiserfs partition
- download the packages directly to the correct 'packages'-folder.
for more help, we'll need more info and exact error-messages.

There is g_pup (search for it in this forum) but it is based on 4.1.2.aragon wrote: there is actually no barebones-version with smp (i think)

With quite a few US friends on the Fedora forum and relatives in Australia I can endorse the saying ' two nations divided by a common language '! As for en_CY ( Welsh ) and Irish english, the mind boggles!aragon wrote:yes, en_US or en_AU might be a pain for some usertechnowomble wrote:for ' proper ' ( UK ) English

Re: g_pup
You're right, my brain seems to have i/o-errors. i will have to run smartctl to check.raffy wrote:There is g_pup (search for it in this forum) but it is based on 4.1.2.aragon wrote: there is actually no barebones-version with smp (i think)

Nekroze,
?? On what kind of filesystem filesystem is the tar.gz stored ??
!! Maybe simple use the gui-archiving tool to extract !!

@ Nekroze:
Let me guess, you mounted an ext3 partition to extract your unleashed on... If the tar uncompresses in spite of the read-only errors, I wouldn't worry about them. I have that all the time and tar is uncompressing fine.
@ Aragon:
I apologize in advance for the many questions that follow; please feel free to ignore them...
I am not 100% sure what building on unleashed really does. Do you rebuild everything from scratch, including the drivers and modules? If yes did you strip out some of them to the price of compatibility?
Does the package list attached in your first post basically state the content of Barebones? If yes, I can't see <package> (replace <package> by anything, like geany, seamonkey, cups, etc...) in the list, how do I install it (I know how to build from source, but of course .pet or PPM way is more than welcome )

no, basically you're combining the official packages in your own way, with an official release as a template.I am not 100% sure what building on unleashed really does. Do you rebuild everything from scratch, including the drivers and modules?
if we are talking about kernel-modules: no.If yes did you strip out some of them to the price of compatibility?

you can't see as nothing replaces nothing... this is the concept of a barebone-puppy. it's just a base to build your own puppy.If yes, I can't see <package> (replace <package> by anything, like geany, seamonkey, cups, etc...) in the list
simply with the package-manager (or any other way you like and is useable in puppy).how do I install it (I know how to build from source, but of course .pet or PPM way is more than welcome )

Could be the filesystem you are extracting to. I tried over a network drive under an NTFS environment and got a bunch of errors too.Nekroze wrote:@ aragon
the problem i have had with those instructions mate is this line
# tar -zxf puppy-unleashed-core-2.xx.tar.gz
it dose not work, it reports multiple errors and stuff to do with read-write change errors.
