If it is really that easy -as you say- so, why didn't you do all that stuff by yourself, getting it to work, building a PET and offering it to the Puppy Linux Community?
This would have been much more appreciated than anything else you did offer until today!!!
You can do this already with your LazY Puppy. I did show you how to reach this in the German forum.
Again: why didn't you do all that stuff by yourself, getting it to work, building a PET and offering it to the Puppy Linux Community?
Friendly Greetings from Germany, the Country with the Guys owning ugly Parents, the country of Franz Joseph Strauß and Adolf Hitler (who has been an Austrian), the country of the new German-Finance-Nazis, the country of a lot of other (ugly) things - like you have mentioned such often before...
...and not to forget: the country of LazY Puppy!
I did understand what you did explain me but you don't did realize at all what is interesting in Puppy for the great number of visitors and fans:
discover new versions, new ideas, new ways being really comparable as the base is about the same till 10 years ago. it is as a bicycle: always only 2 wheels, only one direction bar, only 2 pedals and only one seat. an extremely simple thing. but a lot of people give great amount of money, till a lot of thousand $, to get the in their opinion actually more smartest bicycle version (and doesn't build there own bicycle itself but buy it absolutely finish and ready to use; they never use some screwdriver, only and that is limit an air pump)...
consequence: your creation did interest me as you did publish that it is ready to use as a final version...
... and is yet forgotten. yourself did depreciate it with the publication of new experiments to port it to other puppy's
but
as well your main Lazy as your 2 new experimentations (I know, you did explain in German why you did begin with old bases) are based on old puppy's, are not interesting at all any more!
BK did understand it years ago and did create perhaps for this reason with great realism his famous new-version-builder "woof"... before that, he did create the dynamic save file actualizing itself to make the passage from version to version easy for those using a save file!
I am sorry, your Lazy is relatively new but his base is already obsolete and not interesting any more for a lot of us (I only use an unique version as old as yours, as the base is the same: the KDE-Puppy from Josep2424. Why? Because it is the only one Puppy version that I know making possible to turn the screen 90°. Before that I did use for a very long time Quirky 120 with the big kdenlive.sfs beeing only operable with Quirky 120, exactly for the same reason: People using geographic aps as Openstreetmap, Google maps etc., I do it really daily, can't be happy with Linux version where it is only possible to work from west to east, like real economical life
in the world, but not from north to south, like real like real poverty level difference
in the world
!. If you try to add yourself new packages that you are using in new versions, you meet more and more protest that your libraries are not actual any more, and that happens more rarely with fresh versions of Puppy (same thing with new creations like alpha pup instead of arch pup for ex.: you are totally dependent of the coder - different of the initial arch pup, where it was possible to actualize using a standard package manager adequate to user different great depositories, not only Arch, but Archbang or Parabola linux. Parabola opens full access to 100 % free and open source real GNU stuff...).
If you want to sustain your Lazy, you will probably have to port it to a distributions builder like "woof" (can also be a script as used by Iguleder, or Debian, to reinstall Debian, you only need 3 conditions: have bash in use, have "wget" and have "ar", and you can install from script from each other Linux having the same version of bash, or Nutyx, same thing as Debian but with code from book Linux From Scratch, you only need the bash version from LFS, being a little different from that one from Puppy, and build a base in the console, continuing to use at the same time your computer with it different origin Linux, more, you can recompile the base and start a completely new Linux version compiled from scratch from sources of the famous book). If that is given AND EASY to do (try to rebuild Nutyx from scratch, not from binary packages: you will see how easy it can be to do that! It can really be interesting for foreign language, also not French, people, as this would give access to change the language from French to each wished other! It was the reason why this option did be initially published: The author of Nutyx did help to create an Dutch etc. version and reorganize and publish his script used by him in the background since the distro exists so that other can operate easily with it...), I can imagine that the Lazy system would probably interest more people as it is really powerful and the warranty to dispose on an always actual, never obsolete system would be given for all people (of course, those don't having to turn 90° their screen)...

Code: Select all

I don't think that arch-pup uses something entirely new , but it's creator seems to ba a good coder .
of course Karl. but it is one of different ways, not a standardized proposal to all users (I did do that in /root/.jwmrc since years ago as I am a real fan from JWM: no other window manager is as smart and offers as much possibilities under 200 kb binary size
). in theory, a /root/.start or /home/user/.start would also be valid also in commando mode only (see new distro from iguleder for ex.) or with a libvga.so etc. regardless of the use or not from somewhat like xorg or some window manager settings etc.! it would be a really universal access to individual start setting changes. as you see in ."x"initrc, this file is what especially good for X...
kind regards
