Puppy Linux
Parmenides Mcloven
Puppy Linux is a collection of multiple Linux distributions, built on the same shared principles, built using the same set of tools, built on top of a unique set of puppy specific applications and configurations and generally speaking provide consistent behaviours and features, no matter which flavours you choose.
It has been said that the best experience of Puppy Linux is not from the software itself, but from the community that gathers around it. Whatever you have in mind - praises, curses, questions, suggestions, or just plain chit-chat, we welcome you to join us at Puppy Linux Discussion Forum or just check the discussions for the latest puppylinux woof builds.
When I installed fossapup, I did not get an option to install the distro in the entire partition. The option to install the distro in the entire partition does not exist anymore. You can only perform a frugal install with fossapup. In the past, I used to wipe out the partition, then skip installation of grub4dos, and reboot with boot-repair to reinstall grub-2 followed by sudo grub-update which used to sense the puppy installation and bring it back. However, it does not work with fossapup.
It looks like pygtk package you are trying to use is compiled against newer glib (and, possibly gtk+) libraries. Just from observation (I'm not puppy user) it looks like you've downloaded pygtk package for 4.3 (with possible newer runtime libraries).
you only did add 1 directory with 4 files in it in your system, nothing else. after restart, puppy starts (if you select it, of course!) and nothing more itself on your harddisk. It only read the 4 files and copy them into the RAM. After that, ALL happens in RAM (if you have enough RAM, if not, it can be, it starts only until a waiting point, and read the needing software requiring by you through your actions on demand from one of the *.sfs files, if it is able to start with as few RAM size) and perhaps your SWAP (as needing in Linux. But you can adding start parameter in the grub lines prevent that, if it is important for you, for ex. not your own PC etc. Pls ask at the Puppy forum). If you want it, you can save the session at the end. Follow the instruction (I do never that! I save files on my HD but not more!)...
+1 puppy! I used that with 3 old beater laptops to get my way through the first year of college. With Win98 installed, they could barely stream videos through WinAmp, but they were top of the line when I was a kid.
Puppy linux venne sviluppato per la prima volta da Barry Kauler, che pubblicò la versione 0.1 il 18 giugno del 2003. La versione di Puppy 2.14 (86,5 MB) utilizzava SeaMonkey come internet suite (principalmente come web browser e e-mail client).
