Hi puppymartin,

thanks for mijnpup (sounds a little bit familiar to us in belgium Wink

)

Cheers
Charlie

Thanks this one do work very good. Have only booted three times but usually Lupu520 would fail to boot on three times so you seems to ahve solved that one. So that is good. It played everything I gave it. Pictures worked in 1024x768 despite it reporting it had x600 I use two screens so it is a good puppy you made.

I tested it again and this a good one indeed. Just works which I can not say about Lupu on my Acer D250. So thanks again. Well done!

Frugal install-wireless working fine. I miss gtkam, where can I find the download?

Looking forward to the next version.

Since you are going "big" in puppy terms here and removing the small apps any thought to adding amarok to handle the music?

l0wt3ch, nooby, maxpro4u, sinc... Thanks!

(sinc: sorry, no Amarok - Mplayer will play anything Smile

)

(maxpro4u: gtkam, maybe back in the next version.
Old gtkam: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-4/)

One version to go. LibreOffice is final now, waiting for Firefox final.

Sorry me being so naive.

so this Mijnpup is more modern than Lupu511?

It can do everything that lupu 520 can? I mean use same repos? Same pets for 520?

That would be very good because 520 totally fail to boot on my Acer D250 while your MijnPup boots each time have never failed once as I remember.

Can it do IceWM? Use Zigberts pwidget analog clock and so on?

Audacity?

Puppy Studio fails to boot too. Can I borrow the prgrams form Studio and use them in MijnPup instead? Music progs?

Hi Martin,

I really like your MijnPup project, the clean looks and the choices you have made. Being based on Puppy 5.2 further augments the possibilties.

I guess you've become accustomed to crazy questions by now Very Happy

Here's mine Wink

:

Would it be possible to make a "barebones" MijnPup? By that I mean 100% MijnPup minus LibreOffice minus Firefox!

Many of us are now installing the browser of our choice outside of the save file, which has several advantages.

Same for the Office app. It is often installed as an SFS or statically on mnt/home or by using the package from PortableLinuxApps

I am asking this, because I have no remaster skills..
This "barebones" would be close to perfect in my view and, as a bonus, a much smaller download. (100-150MB?)

I have a feeling many users would be interested in this.

Bert is right. But to be complete to have both would make both us and you happy. You could have the bigger one as you prefer it and the small one is a users choice puppy. You describe how one make use of sfs and placing them on HDD in Frugal install and so on.

I trust many would like such a puppy.

If this is really based on the super Lupus 5.2 then I would be interested, too - if we can get our hands on a Mijn withtout firefox and office...

It's not called "Mijnpup" ("My pup" in Dutch) for nothing Smile

Martin made it the way he likes it, and of course he has every right not to be interested in another version...

After hours of struggling I succeeded in a remaster, a bootable 115MB ISO, with LibreOffice and Firefox removed. ( and some small apps, like pfind, pfilesearch, remove_builtin,... added back)

I would happily share it, but it has some small but annoying errors...
Booting time is back to normal though.

Including a heavy-weight like LibreOffice in a pup is not a good design decision IMHO, especially given the alternative possibilities I linked to in my post above.

But there's a lot to like in Mijnpup !

I might try remastering again, but can't promise anything Wink

I forgot to mention this:
Martin made it easy to remove Firefox. It can be uninstalled in PPM (Puppy Package manager)

In a way it looks like LibreOffice is easy to uninstall too: it is installed in /opt.
Removing the directory 'LibreOffice' from /opt will make it disappear, but unfortunatily it will still get loaded, when running from live-cd or as a frugal install I think...
