Precise puppy with kernel 3.3.5

#1 Post by Speedyluck »

Hi, i made a new precise puppy iso with kernel 3.3.5 (the last stable when i compilated it);
this is basically the original precise puppy 5.2.5 iso with update kernel and some bugs fix.
I used this script to compile and update:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=78385
thanx to Igudeler for the original script and Pemasu given it to me.

Compilated the kernel for i486 smp preemptive desktop (so for all pcs..) for < 4gb ram, with virtualize and all scsi ata sata drivers;
however on boot htop show only 48M ram usage (but this isn't the focus of this iso).
I removed loading partort module (parallel port) at boot (init on initrd) and corrected 2 code lines to allow the shutdown script to create the save file (bug? about line 1455 on init).
changed cups to 1.3.11 (the new 1.5.2 missing something and wanted print...)
added symlink 'cdrom' to sr0 on /dev (missing on original iso and some programs went looping).
added some libs missing and other symlinks

Pemasu made a precise puppy with kernel 3.3.2 , so this new iso is for testing, who wants can fix bugs and suggest fix (with the above script linked i can easy edit and create a the iso)

Here the download link:

Haven't had much time to test but no big show-stopper bugs discovered yet.All the basics working on initial boot. Upgraded SeaMonkey to 2.9.1 and did some eyecandy tweaks....looks pretty solid so far.

Great @James C

Is that SeaMonkey upgrade available via a PET somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, Speedyluck,

Thanks for the link. However, nothing happens at that download site after the 30 seconds wait. Is the site allergic to opera?

Thanks in advance for any hint.

Best regards.

It seems you have to hit the start button more than once and they are telling the truth about speed limits

yes, you have to click a second time to start download.

hi linux28, i don't know about xim, but reading from this link

http://linux.thai.net/~thep/th-xim/
http://linux.thai.net/~thep/th-xwindow/ ... #Input_XIM

X11R6.1 introduced Thai XKB map using Latin keysyms which map to ISO/IEC 8859-1 characters

you have perhaps to load nls_iso8859-1 ?
the module is on the initrd, but the init script don't load it, so you have to add into case/esac code
jp*)
modprobe nls_cp852 # (or nls_cp850 ?)
modprobe nls_iso8859-1
;;

or load it from terminal:
modprobe nls_iso8859-1

and boot with parameter "plang=jp_JP.utf8"

Hello!
Hope that we can solve this xim problem, without having to switch can test is just to open a text editor in the input menu, no problem there will be a row of input method, I do not know where the issue should be how to solve. I am a computer novice beginner, do not understand. Hope can be resolved, first thank you!

Hi all!
The script actually works.
I rebuilt my image of the Three-Headed Dog with kernel 3.3.6.
I downloaded the image Speedyluck, but it does not work installer.

Thanks for the link for the iso to test :)

@ Speedyluck

Can you remind members to turn off any pop up blockers on the browser when they click thru to your link otherwise they will end up going in a loop and being told that they have exceeded their download limit?

I tried, its pretty much the same as Pemasu (wireless networking problems) also xorg does not work right. No save file created. Need some more work.
