Alpine 2.00 -- for Puppy 4.x & Lucid Puppy 5

#1 Post by moB »

Here's a post in FD64 forum: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=238 featuring a few setup tips. (BTW/ Alpine is used by Linus Torvald, among others.)

Setup search result: http://www.google.com/search?q=alpine+setup

I prefer to do setup by editing the config files with a text-editor, for the most part. When it works `just that easy' on first run I get a good feeling. Suit yourself :-)

A review: http://email.about.com/od/linuxemailcli ... alpine.htm

Lucid Puppy can get this program from ubuntu, but there's no menu entry. As I was in compile-mode I just went ahead and did it.

Multiboot-friendly: my son's box has three operating systems accessing the same mail directory on the hard drive, all running different versions of Alpine.


Mail can be safe and useful again.

For some reason maximum upload size is zero again...

You'll have to wait until I can get this uploaded :-(

@ moB

The link to the *.PET file in the FatDog64 thread, just to clarify, is that only for that particular build or will it also run in a 32 bit environment?

Hi chrome307!

It was compiled under FD64, which is based on T2 and is 64 bit, so unless you're running a 64 bit T2 I think it would fail to work.

My experience is not good swapping around like that, but I could be wrong. What do I know?

I'll have another go at posting the pets tomorrow :)

The more I learn the less know.

I compiled it with PL 4.31 using the source code available, it requires OpenSSL to be installed, alternatively you can 'make' it without the use of SSL.
