MijnPup: LibreOffice 3.3 (Final version) Firefox 4.0 (b10)

[nooby]

Bert I envy you doing remastering. I am too vulnerable to failure and feel so ashamed when things go wrong and doing a remaster seem very risky when one are as clumsy with computers as I am. But congrats about doing it.

Hi Bert,
Remastering Puppy is not difficult. To make a "diet" Mijnpup:
Start Mijnpup with pfix=ram.

Then, delete:
/opt/libreoffice
/lib/firefox

Then: Menu -> Setup -> Remaster Puppy Live-CD
Answer the questions, wait a few minutes and a smaller Mijnpup.iso is there.

(But... after remastering this version without a browser and without office: you've got Puppy 52 Why not use Puppy?)

(Dutch: druk hier Bert, daarom weinig antwoorden van mij. En mijn Engels is ook hopeloos. Groeten daar in Vlaanderen. Kunnen jullie het snel eens worden met de Walen? Wij Hollanders kunnen moeilijk doen, maar jullie kunnen er ook wat van.

Edit: zie nu dat het remasteren je al gelukt was... )

[dWLkR]

hoi!

is het mogelik dat jij noog XBMC met mijnpup installeert?

excuse my bad dutch writing skills... i can only speak dutch a little - but i am not good at writing in dutch! :>

[nooby]

I don't know a word of Dutch.

puppymartin so one have puppy 5.2 back. ohh had no idea.

Okay good to know. The surprising thing is that Mijnpup did not need nosmp it just booted again and again while the standard lupu 520 needs nosmp to boot.

So something need to be different? Or am I mixing something up getting it wrong? I look in menu.lst again

title mijnpup Without Wine 1024x768 yes openbox
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
kernel /mijnpup/vmlinuz pmedia=scsihd psubdir=mijnpup i915.modeset=1 pfix=fsck
initrd /mijnpup/initrd.gz

nope no need for nosmp there so your mijnpup sure is different from the usual 520

Thanks a lot Martin for finding the time to reply. Can't believe remastering can be this easy! I've been reading many forum threads about it, downloading tutorials and some scripts and it proved to be a delicate operation. I tried many times and always something went wrong and when I finally succeeded, the new iso had some little errors in it!
Will try your method later today.

(But... after remastering this version without a browser and without office: you've got Puppy 52 Why not use Puppy?)

Not exactly Puppy 5.2...look at what you've removed from 5.2 to arrive at Mijnpup. I am using Lucid 5.2 as my daily OS now, but want your cleaned and simplified environment to install on the box of someone I love, who gets totally confused by the 'busy' and 'techie' 5.2 desktop and menu.

Nogmaals dank!

dWLkR:
Sorry, no XBMC. It is too much for Mijnpup.

nooby:
The only boot difference between Mijnpup and Puppy 52 is the xorgwizard that starts before X/Openbox is started. (the screen where you set your monitor resolution.)

@puppymartin, thanks again for all your responses and staying updated on this project. I do have another question. Firefox updates automatically is there a way to have libreoffice update automatically when they come out with new updates. For me the office suite and browser are the most used applications on my computer and it would be awesome if they were able to update by themselves without having to randomly check if there is a new version and then download and unpack it and everything... just automated ya know? Thanks again.

[puppymartin]

No automatic updates in this version of LibreOffice.
See: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss@doc ... 01288.html

Mac and Windows should have auto-updaters, Linux should have an
auto-updater available only when installed from source (if it is
practical), otherwise updates should be handled by the distros package
management system.

[sinc]

so, I don't really understand what the above means. how was this version installed. Did you install it from a .deb? so if a person were to go to their website and install the tar.gz then it would include the automatic updates? thanks for clarifying the tech speak for me. b/c if thats all it takes i can replace the files in /opt with new ones that will update. thanks again, every time thank you.

Hello:
I installed Remove apps in Puppy Lucid 5.2, and used it to remove the Abiword and gnumeric. It worked fine and removed the two packages. However, it left the Doc and help files along with the menu items pointing to these.
How can one remove these as well?
Thanks in advance!

I have done this, but would like to know how I remove the items from the menu?

After remastering, I have the LibreOffice suite still listed in 'Documents'

Thanks in advance!

[puppymartin]

Before remastering 5.2/MijnPup, you must fix the menu.

Open terminal:
# /root/Startup/run_fixmenus
and:
# fixmenus

Then you have two new menu-files you need in your new remaster:
/root/.fbpanel/default
/root/.config/openbox/menu.xml

Succes!

[chrome307]

Thanks for the tip!

Hopefully I will managed to to do it right this time

Puppymartin,
Kan je even de kernelversie MijnPup vermelden want ik zit met een kaartlezer die een speciaal besturingsprogramma'tje (driver) nodig heeft ? Ik geloof dat het programma in de versie vanaf 2.6.36 aanwezig is. Het ook kan wèl dat het apart gecompileerd moet woorden.

Could you specify the kernel version of MijnPup as I am stuck with a card reader requiring a special driver? I think that kernel version 2.6.36 was the first one to integrate the driver. It is also possible that the driver must be explicitly compiled.

myke

[nooby]

Didn't pemasu had a card reader for Acer D255 very recently. Yesterday?

[sinc]

I think FF4 is out now.

I also noticed that ppt and pptx are not associated with libre office in this version. can you automatically have firefox associate those files with the libre office presentation program.

Thanks.

[P123]

Could you please include Truecrypt in the next version of this puplet.

** W O W ** Man, how awesome is that?!?!?!? This is pretty much everything I had ever hoped to achieve with my derivative "RexBang". I sincerely wish i had been aware of this two months ago! >>OUTSTANDING<<

What do you use for the menu, may i ask? It is beautiful!

Yes it is a beautiful distro.

Welcome to the forums mate

I believe the Window Manager is called "Open Box" which piggy-backs itself on to the JWM (Joe's Window Manager) that ships with puppy.

Go exploring a bit, click on the home icon on the desktop, then click to "open all files" (left hand side of the "eye" symbol in the file manager) and look for .jwmrc and .jwmrc-tray which are the menu system.

In the menu you will see (if you take the puppy menu alternative) that you also have the choice of IceWM which uses slightly more resources but which has a different look. Many prefer it.

Have fun

Thanks puppymartin for MijnPup. This looks to be what I need (the 52 beta 3 Jan 29, 2012), but I should ask if MijnPup is fully functional on an Asus EEE 900a (Atom processor).
