(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

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/puppys ... 3_Apr2020/

and in the forum thread at

https://skamilinux.hu/phpBB3/viewtopic. ... 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

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/puppys ... 3_Apr2020/.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Take care and have fun!

Best regards,

gjuhasz

Dear Puli users,

I released the final 7.3 educational package:

* New team collaboration links added.

* Firefox updated to version 76.0.1

* LibreOffice downloader "pulified", old bug fixed

You can find the updated install material at

https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppys ... 3_Apr2020/.

The general-purpose flavor of Puli 7.3 will appear in the same SourceForge repository soon.

In addition, I tested the latest version of many applications. See them at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppys ... /packages/ folder.

Take care and have fun!

Best regards,

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/6ec ... /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.

Tip: How to Make a Bootable Flash Drive using ISObooter

Yours truly,
Appreciated Help

Thanks for that! Before I get to it, since puli comes in .zip format (not ISO) will this actually work?

Gonna try it anyway..........want to learn some new stuff

You're gonna go with which, 32 or 64? The most current?

Most current, 64 bit. Just did the whole thing, getting a black screen with some letters for about a 10th of a sec and it shuts down. From what I could see probably a "grub" message.

Will give it another shot.

Gimme a sec..

Gotta give me a few.. I'm still trying to work out Gjuhasz's instructions..

No hurry. Also still figuring out why and what.

Hey BP, sorry, I'm gonna pass. There's more here than I care to involve myself with.

Semme wrote:Hey BP, sorry, I'm gonna pass. There's more here than I care to involve myself with.

No worries. Will give it a fresh start tomorrow.

Too bad though, this distro has some promising features. Should be easier to install imho.

I knew (with a little help from my friends) I'd get it. Convoluted 4 shore, but I got it. I don't think I've ever had to jump through the hoops I did with any other Pup install, but, by George, I GOT IT!

I'll add it's NOT for beginners, @ least, not in my opinion.

Tell me, is there anything wrong with Bionic64? Is it not easy enough to use? I don't know.. Maybe you're coming off Windows and still overly paranoid? If you plan on banking and whatnot, just make sure your browser of choice is current.

Besides, you'll get timely support running one of Pups mainstream builds.

Hi bullpup,

Maybe this post will help. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 04#1042604

You may not need to fully follow the instructions. Once you've unzipped the package you can copy/move all the files from the unzipped folder to an uniquely named folder --such as puli-- on sdbx. Then add Puli to your bootloader's grub config or grub4dos menu.lst.

If you are running a different Puppy and sdb is a (a) USB-Key or (b) you don't have a UEFI computer and don't care about overwriting your current bootloader, just run Menu>Setup>Grub4dos. Grub4dos will create a new bootloader which will list and boot almost every operating system. But Grub4dos can't boot UEFI computers. The 'almost' is that I've had it fail to recognize manjaro as an operating system. [My preference is to place grub4dos on a USB-Key even when Puppies are on a hard-drive. Plug in the key: boot puppies. Unplug the key, boot Windows & Other Distros].

If your current bootloader is grub2, ask how to customize it to add Puppies.

There is NOTHING wrong with Bionic. Period. works perfectly. It's my main OS.

I DO come from Windows some 12 years ago and STILL paranoid Nah, I just love learning new things, trying out 'exotic' distro's and I am very interested in security stuff.

That is why I'd like to try Puli. And learning another way to install a Puppy. Inquiring mind and all that.

@mikesir
Thank you for your instructions and will give it a go later today. Gotta go to work now.

Thanks for pitching in guys.

Dear Karambol,

I propose to download LiLi from this folder:

http://smokey01.com/gjuhasz/LiLi/

It does not contain any virus. You can check the md5 and sha checksums.
I tested it again using my overprotected Win 10 corporate laptop this afternoon.
Lili can accept the zip compressed Puli image.

See the first post in this thread (just updated).

Have fun!

Dear Puli users,

I assembled an IrfanView-454p.sfs package for fun.

Downloadable from this folder:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppys ... /packages/

You can select EN, DE, HU languages and many plugins.

I tried to minimize the runtime environment,

Tested with Puli 7.3. Probably runs with other puplets, too.

Have fun!

Regards,

gjuhasz
