ttuuuxxx, I saw that note about your C64 and heaved a sigh. I do wish you were in the US -- one of my biggest regrets is that I sold the C64 I had when I was in college. The college up and gave me the system and I should never have gotten rid of it... it was a C64C with two 1541 disk drives and a monitor cartridge...

...I better stop or I'm gonna cry

I miss that thing, lol. One of my good friends is a Commodore enthusiast (he's jbruchon here but he never posts) and my best friend (not on this forum) turned out to have a bunch of stuff for it that I didn't know about till after I sold the thing

You can still buy good working ones on ebay, They also have new things for the C-64, like a SDcard adapters, with the sd card adapter you could probably fit every game ever made for the c-64 on one card, plus the loading times are super fast. They also have Lan card that allows you to use a C-64 and a C-64 broswer to actually go on the net. It also allows you to turn your C-64 into a music server, The C-64 had a awesome SID audio chip in it, even today's standards it still rocks. There are lots of sites where you can download C-64 roms/programs also.

VERY cool stuff!

Thanks!

Mine was a C64C. It had the newer "toaster" type 1541s, not the VIC style 1541s. Two of 'em, as I said. Joysticks too. I never did have the mouse, that would've been cool... jbruchon tells me he has a 1351 mouse...

In 2011 there was a announcement of a C64-REBORN. With intel atom cpu. That would have been a good way to have puppy and the precious C64 combined.
I did have a lot of problems at that time with the 1541 diskdrives... Still remember that.

Don't know if the reborn was ever released officially under the Commodore flag.

Yes but the C64-Reborn came and went, I was actually talking the owner at the time and gave him Ideas where to go to in the future, Plus Linux options, Sadly the owner died and they closed up shop and that was the end of it. They were basically modern pc's in a C-64 shell, and emulated C-64. They also did the Amiga. Sad its gone, Also they were really expensive a basic C-64 shell +MB was over $600 and went over $1000 for a fully loaded one.

Hey Jeff

I believe I was the last person to produce a full featured pup under 100m. It was called THINSlacko based on slacko 5.3 (slackware-13.37).

At the time, firefox 3 was still in final development so I shipped with that, no flashplayer and xz compressed. It was a good kernel too iirc.

<-- http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 01&t=78228

I'm not advocating you base anything on that (tho you are most welcome to if you like) but what I am saying is that things can be still made small if you use an older kernel/xorg. These days mesa is a requirement or else half of the computers out there don't boot. I reckon good old thin slacko would boot to a usable screen on at least 90% of what's out there (apart from UEFI crap).

Hi Mick

I'm not really trying to get it under 100MB, What I'm doing is trying to get the system files under control, The backend of puppy has grown a lot since woof introduction, Heck I'm planing of having Chrome as the main browser, what's that like 50MB compressed

, I would use Firefox but since they started that fast track version number thing after 3.0, Its went down hill, Way too slow and crashes. Maybe Opera? Hows midori these days? I just downloaded the latest version and all its deps from slackware, removed all the extra's and quickly made a package to see what size I'm looking at, well its 16MB pet package. That's a lot smaller than all the big browsers. I think I'll try it out for a few days and see how it goes.

, I just don't want a small browser it needs to be stable and fast, I usually have around 50 pages open and surfing like that does make a browser show its true colours

I believe one of my first favs of puppy was your 4.3.5 Firefox? Loved it. Me...., Don't like Google much, don't like Opera much and yes Firefox is getting out of control. So, whats a guy to do? Dillo for searching the forums. There is a custom Dillo that has 2 search boxes, 1 regular & 1 for Murga it absolutely flies. Next I like Firefox ESR's, not so bad.. least it doesn't update daily crap. Have been playing with Palemoon..seems to be real nice so far. Please give it a look and that custom Dillo. I for one am happy to see you active again. Thanks for all the work you've done and I hope you will continue.

I came across Puppy Linux back in the day 2003?

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... h&id=38677

I have been interested in this type (distribution) of Linux ever since.

The original mascot of Puppy Linux really touched me and had me to think this Linux has heart <3

Then ttuuxxx uploaded firehydrant and he had a very cool web site, gone but not forgotten.

I could continue with the many Puppy Linux derivatives or pups...

I look forward to whatever you decide to conjure up with Puppy Linux.

Thank you ttuuxxx,Barry K for Puppy Linux and all others who endeavor to use and promote the use of Puppy.

I still own the website, just haven't made another one on it. Will think about it, just takes a lot of time.

ttuuxxx,

Not sure if you have seen Tahrpup 6.0 CE and tried it out.

It is using Pale Moon as the installed browser.
Seems to be working OK. Kind of a clone of Firefox.

Also, Tahrpup 6.0 CE is a good example of what you get if building a Puppy using Woof CE.

Something to consider

I think I might try CE. I'm opened to a Firefox fork as long as it doesn't act like the main release. I'm thinking try Tahrpup and see how Pale Moon goes after a couple of weeks of my intense surfing, If it stands up to my surfing habits, I'll make it default. Really a full a smallish full browser fork of FF over Chrome I would take any day, as long as it doesn't get crippled and crash after a few weeks of intense browsing, I usually use the net around 8+hrs a day and run live 24/7 and reset the PC every 3-4 months.

Tahrpup 6.0 CE also has a nice feature that 666philb is using to provide update bug fixes.

He has Quickpet on the desktop.
Quickpet->info->Tahrpup bug fixes

Click on Tahrpup bug fixes and it downloads, installs, any and all bug fixes, available at that time.

Try it out when you do initial install of Tahrpup.
There are some bug fixes to install.
