Hm. If you boot Puli in Lazy mode, and while the /bin folder is being renamed to, let's say, "Hарру_Nеw_Yеаr" or even to a more complex string, the toolset of a malicious intruder becomes very limited or unusable. Have fun! Regards, gjuhasz |

Hi gjuhasz, It's been a while since I set up a USB-Key with Puli. So, thought it best to review the instructions. III. For advanced users, Paragraph 2, regarding smartload, says "Puli seeks those referenced packages in the /packages folder of the boot device and auto-loads them during bootup". With Puli 7.1, no "packages" folder is within the zip file, nor created by 'unzipping'. Is its creation something for the user to do? Or has the need for it been discontinued. I sort of remember that in an earlier "Bark", smartload looked for files on the partition. I noticed that among the SFS you've provided at SourceForge you have Iron, but not Opera. I'm sure opera will run under Puli 7.1 as it runs under Xenialpup64 (also Bionicpup64). I'm interested in Opera as it provides a free VPN. I wonder what your thoughts are about regarding its use under Puli. |

Dear mikeslr,
Thanks for the notification. Puli seeks the referenced packages in this folder by default. An (empty) /packages folder will appear in the zip file of the next updates.
As you know, Google discontinued supporting hardware acceleration a few months ago causing extremely slow motion in my favorite WebGL sites like http://madebyevan.com/webgl-water/. So, we have three choices to survive: 1) Use the current versions of the Chromium flavors (including Opera) with closed eyes while visiting slowmo sites. 2) Use earlier versions that enable h/w acceleration 3) Use Firefox or its relatives such as Pale Moon. I try do my best to keep Puli compatible with the popular browsers. Consequently, ad 1) You may download the current version of Chrome and/or the Chromium based ones such as Iron, Slimjet, Opera, Vivaldi. Puli can (smart)load and flawlessly run any of them, sharing your bookmark set for each. I don't see the advantage of mirroring these official packages in my SourceForge repo. ad 2) In my repo however, you see an earlier 64-bit Iron version, the latest one which supports hardware acceleration - note that it is more vulnerable than the current one. ad 3) As Mozilla does not provide .deb or .rpm package for Firefox, we Puppy fans should create pets that may or may not run in all puplets. I have a Puli specific Firefox pet file (nightly flavor, can be sandboxed with Firejail) among the 64-bit packages and try to refresh it regularly. Feel free to download and update its /opt/firefox folder from the current version then repackage it for yourself any time. The attached screenshot shows that you can run more than one browser instances in Puli simultaneously, e.g., the current Opera, the earlier Iron, and a Firefox nightly version. Have fun! Regards, gjuhasz

Hi gjuhasz, I think I'm beginning to understand how to fully implement the advantages you've built into Puli. In part, that's a result of your recent guidance. But also, to a large extent I chanced upon a file you named readme-710.html at SOURCEFORGE. There have been some changes since you started this thread in December 2014. A large part of my confusion resulted from my decision to read thru the thread from its beginning. I strongly recommend that you edit the First post to point to the readme-710.html file. Less strongly, perhaps you could include something like it in /root/my-documents [or /usr/share/doc] in future versions of Pul with perhaps a desktop icon or menu entryi: once setup a User wouldn't have to access the internet to find answers to many questions. Sorry that I can't give you a url reference to it. As I wrote, I changed upon it and have had the devil of a time trying to find it again. |

Dear Puli users, Happy New Year! I am proud to announce the new, 64-bit Puli 7.2. The main files are available at http://smokey01.com/gjuhasz/Puli-7.2_Jan2020/. Installation instructions and detailed description of the new version can be found at http://smokey01.com/gjuhasz/readme-720.html and on the first page of this forum thread. The latest Pulis are mirrored and many external 32/64 bit packages are regularly updated in the shared folder structure at https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppyszoftver/files/Puli/. Changes include a more flexible postXload feature: - postXload is configurable from the smartload files - the .sfs packages can be postXloaded The new version contains updated references and bug fixes, too. See the first page of this thread for details of Puli features and usage. You can track the evolution of the Puli versions by browsing this forum thread and/or by comparing the readme files at http://www.smokey01.com/gjuhasz. Have fun! Regards, gjuhasz |

Dear Puli users, A Puli specific OpenOffice-417_64hup.sfs is downloadable from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppyszoftver/files/Puli/Puli-64bit/packages/ You can see the current version of other office suites there, too: - LibreOffice-6.3.4_64hu.sfs - softmaker18-973_64hup.sfs Tested with Puli 7.2 but probably run with many other puplets. Have fun! Regards, gjuhasz |

Dear Puli users, I received a couple of questions in a PM:
I created a small pet package that swithces between different security profiles. Compatible with the latest 32-bit (v6.0.2) and 64-bit (v7.1 and v7.2) Pulis. See attached. After installed, you will see three options in the right-click -> Setup menu: - Switch to Mild - Switch to Rigorous - Switch to Crazy Be careful: select the profile that best matches with the environment and the visited site(s). Have fun! Regards

Based on the inspirations of Mike Walsh at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=117835, I played with Cliqz browser in Puli 7.2, and I really like it. Cliqz is nice and fast. The "factory default" .deb file can be smartloaded and runs well without any hiccup. Have fun! Regards gjuhasz |

Dear Puli users, Good news: WebGL support returned in the new Chrome 80 version. Tested with Puli 7.2. I expect that Iron, Slimjet and other Chromium based ones will be updated soon. Smartload the officlal google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb file and visit http://madebyevan.com/webgl-water/ Please don't forget to configure your environment according to your best interest, i.e., what to share or report while browsing. Have fun! Regards, gjuhasz |

Dear Puli users, Nowadays, many of us, including our children and their teachers are working from home due to the COVID-19 related restrictions. Based on the discussions with some stakeholders, I created a 64-bit Puli educational version (HU only), tailored from the on-horizon Puli 7.3 See in the folder https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppyszoftver/files/Puli/Puli-64bit/Puli-7.3_Apr2020/ and in the forum thread at https://skamilinux.hu/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&p=8852#p8852 Announcement of 7.3 with new features and more details are expected here in a couple of months. Take care and have fun! Best regards, gjuhasz Last edited by gjuhasz on Wed 17 Jun 2020, 13:13; edited 1 time in total |

Dear Puli users, I found a couple of bugs  in the just announced (Apr 24) educational version:
* An ancient SNS bug returned. (Fixed the same way as I did in the earlier Pulis.) * Obsolete router info raised difficulties in recognizing the user's valid data. (Purged.) You can find the updated install material at https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppyszoftver/files/Puli/Puli-64bit/Puli-7.3_Apr2020/. Sorry for the inconvenience. Take care and have fun! Best regards, gjuhasz |

Hello. I want to try but LinuxLive USB Creator does not see the downloaded archive. Also, I am a bit worried about it: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6ec00c268cc79d375dfcaf6b9d81247346ff374392c7db65d359482a24c8f0ea/detection |

Hello Puli. I am very interested in this Puppy but I can't seem to get it installed. I have no windows machine so I can't use the tools you point to in your first post. I have tried several Linux Image writing tools to no avail (yet). I keep getting messages like "no frugal install files found at sdb'x'" or "no boot records written to sdb'x' ". Really want to run this distro but been trying to get it to run for almost 2 days now. Any help would be appreciated.
