Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I have been waiting for someone to release a bare bones version of Puppy431 but could wait no longer. So I have put one together myself:

http://puppylinux.ca/members/choicepup/BareBones431/barebones431-jrb1.0.iso

I have removed as many of the apps and their dependencies as I felt practicable, almost all. I left the sound libraries but deleted the video codecs, etc. There are a few non-working menu items,pdict, puppypdf and bcrypt which I could not find the pets for and decided to leave in case someone wanted to reinstall the functions.

I left the defaultprogram files and desktop icons as they were although now non-functional except for connect and console. You can modify or delete them as you wish.

There is an up to date list of included pets in /root/.packages/woof-installed-packages and a llist of the pets I removed in /root/.packages/woof-installed-packages-removed.

I intend to use this as the base for ChoicePup431 and have already installed the latest SFS-TCZ_Linker-431bk-1.2.pet and am playing with SFS and TCZ files.

Enjoy, J

This is very interesting and could be just what I have been looking, a very very cut-down puppy, with almost no apps, to use as a platform but with all the tools and drivers to make it installable to a wide range of hardware. Was looking to tinycore before this.

So I started to take off all the apps I didn't need and then realised that there wasn't a browser, which I do need.

So, based on what you have done to 431 which browser would be easiest to install, ie requires fewest dependencies. Had a look at seamonkey and firefox and both had a long long list of deps.

Grateful for any help
Dave

Congrats jrb this sounds great. Unfortunately I will need to wait for my next trip out of the jungle to download the iso - link speed here is very limited.

In reference to davesurrey's question, did I not understand what I read in previous posts? I thought the sfs files contained all the required dependencies, so could he not just link the firefox sfs? That is what I am planning on doing, will I run into problems?

Keep up the great work.

Chris
