Ok, I compiled this using your compile line ttuuxxx and it is much smaller than I'm used to, 911k in fact, interesting...

Try this one for 214X:

http://rapidshare.com/files/406754628/c ... 1-i386.pet
MD5: ADD63B31239DAAA1EF74EB3540B35DDC

It does work, I ran freshclam, and clamscan from the command line.

The other version you posted with the GUI, well you can use clamscan and so on from the command line as well with those ones.

Anyway, This bears testing. Let me know what you think of it.

You can't get Chrome to work, the reason is that google hasn't released the source code, The older Glibc in 2.14X doesn't work with default chrome.

Also here's xgalaga++-0.8 I just compiled it.

Not true. You can get and build Chromium source. But getting it to compile on Puppy seems really complicated.

Ttuuxx,
just downloaded 2.14x and tried it. Boots fine froim cd but trying frugal install it stops with 'init' message 'Usage INIT init is parent of all ....'
Using it now to post this and it seems very good to me ( not a techy) so this is a layman's opinion. Thanks for all the work you and others put in to puppy for the likes of me.

Rescued Hp Pavillion 667mhz 512meg 16gig hd .

thanks

That error message tends to disappear if

Code: Select all

root=/dev/ram0

is included on the kernel line.

Awesome, I'm gonna do it.... or not... but definitely one of the two.

Well, just in case, here are my errors...

MHHP,
thanks for that, Working a treat now.

cheers

spoke too soon.

Ffmpeg version 0.5 built on Aug 30 2009 gcc:3.4.4

compiler did not align stack variables, libavcodec has been miscompiled and may be very slow or crash. This is not a bug in libavcodec but in the compiler. You may try recompiling using gcc .=4.2.

and cant download version from repos, download failure

jockjunior don't upgrade gcc its not a simple task and could mess up a lot of the system, you can just upgrade ffmpeg from the repo and make some system links to the ones installed so gxine would still work, usually with that error it still works, that's why I haven't tried updating it.

Sinc: I'll try to compile it this weekend.

Hello Forum,
I am using 214X-RC5 ( I think it rocks:) TY Tuxxx and friends) with Putty 0.60 pet to connect to a SCO unix Server. It works well but I have a one problem. The window size is a function of the font size. SCO works with 80 Cols, 24 Rows. So if I need a larger screen, I choose a larger font. That too is fine. Unfortunately, the largest server side font I can get is 15 or 16. I get a small screen (60%) When I use any client side larger font, the output gets LLQQ in place of line drawing characters. I tried Unicode/Poormans/Disable LLQQ options, but there is no way I can get the client side fonts to work well. Whereas if I choose any of the server side fonts, the display is perfect, but the largest server side font is 16. By the way the server side fonts are NOT supplied by the server. The server has larger fonts, even up to 24 size. But putty has its own set of server size fonts which work well. The server alias fonts do not work well either.
Now to the help I need, Is it possible to somehow install a larger size font (18/20/22) which comes in the server side fonts family in putty. Can someone help me in overcoming this problem which is giving me quite a few sleepless nights.

Hi I compiled putty and changed the fonts to the largest 24 and made 2 menu listings under network, one for putty terminal and one for settings, hope that helps.

Hi sink maybe you should forget about google chrome on 2.14X, lol I was going to compile it, buttttttttttttttttt the sources are 750MB compressed and the working directory is 10GB, That is just crazy for any app, its 10 times larger than Seamonkey and that takes about 2hrs to compile.
Here's the 750MB sources http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/arch ... rball.html

Dear ttuuxxx,
I downloaded and installed the pet. As I feel it on 214X , it is very elaborate and more than anyone with a fonts problem could ask for. The pterm adds the icing. I will be able to test drive it only on Monday because SCO is at office.
Please accept my deep sense of gratitude. I wonder how much time and effort it takes, but you sure have another admirer. Thank you and will give you the feed back soon.
Best Regards,
crsrds.

I'm D/Ling RC5 now. What kind of chance of this working on this:

Dell Latitude LT: 266 MHz MMX, maxed at 64 MB RAM, 6GB HDD, with external CD, no floppy, and a BIOS that won't allow USB boot.

I've tried various Live-CDs from 4.3 down to 3.01(2.6.18 something kernel). They all hang up at
"Searching for Puppy files in computer drives... pup_xxx.sfs not found. Dropping out to initial-ramdisk console.../bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off"

I believe the bottleneck is the amount of RAM. Any tricks to making a swap partition without a complete boot? I'm considering pulling the HDD and repartitioning in a different machine. The lack of a floppy makes things difficult and the CD drive is flaky. Maybe a minimal system on CD with partition tools?

I've tried with acpi=off and pfix=ram with no difference from before. loglevel=7 gives a lot of info but nothing alarming to my eyes. (question: how would you save the output?)

It would be great to get Puppy running on this ancient machine. I've been chuckling at people calling their 1 GHz+ and 512 MB machines "Old".

Heck, my main machine is a 366 MHz 192 MB laptop that works great withTurbo Extreme. I'd just like to get something similar for the Dell, now crawling along with Win2K.

I'm sorry for not reading the complete 247 page thread, if some of this has been covered already.

Thanks.

thank you sir for looking into it. i agree that doesn't seem worth it. unless I use my mwife's main computer I don't even have 10 gigs to play around with on this one.

thanks ttuuxxx for all you do for this community.

Partitioning the HDD in a different machine would indeed be your easiest step to possibly solving this. You would be able to make a Linux swap partition for puppy to load into beyond the 64mb RAM. I believe there are other options but I'll leave that to the "more knowledgeable than I" members.

zenfunk · #3699 Post by **zenfunk** » Tue 20 Jul 2010, 07:01

I used a copy of Deli Linux (google around for the iso). It boots to a command prompt without using a swap partition. From there you can run cfdisk to partition your drive.

Dear Tux,
We tested the Putty 6.0-i368 today on 214X and the server being SCO openserver 6.0. Functioned well in SSH, Rlogin and Telnet. The Pterm worked without any problem taking it's settings from the default settings in Putty Settings.
Regarding the Fonts, we have been able to find a working solution with fixed (misc) medium 20. There are as i said two classes of fonts. All the Fixed (misc) and Fixed (sony) fonts work well with the server. The rest do not. I do not know why. Unfortunately, the larger size fonts you provided are in the 'not working well category'.
If I am not asking for too much, is it possible, at your convenience, to add 16/18/20/22/24 in fixed (sony) and fixed (misc) with options for regular/medium/bold condensed/semicondenced etc. This will really fix my problem. Is there anything I am doing wrong in the settings? Kindly advice. Thanking you, crsrds.
