Macpup is a small,light OS. The .Iso is only 164 MB. It runs in ram and is very fast. It is not a striped down, bare bones,basic core OS. Macpup is a full featured system right out of the box with apps for office,graphics,multimedia,internet and much more.And it looks really cool. MP528 is based on Puppy Linux 5.2.8 ,"Lucid Puppy", An official woof build of puppy Linux that is binary-compatible with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx packages.MP528 contains all the apps from Lucid puppy with the addition of Firefox 7.01 beta. Extra apps like Opera or Gimp are available for easy download from the Quickpet App on the ibar or the Puppy Package Manager. MP525 also includes the Enlightenment E17 window manager. The EFL libraries version 1.0.999 and E17 version 62861 where compiled and installed from source. All included E17 themes are By Verdegal37 and where customized for Macpup by CatDude and Runtt21.

If less than 30MB, do not run big apps like Firefox -- instead, shutdown Macpup and you will be asked to create a save file, that will give you more space.You can put the save file almost anywhere,Hard drive,USB Flash drive,Sd card.Etc... I recommend 256 MB total system ram for Macpup.You can also check ram by adding the systray module to the Ibar. Click on the Top Hat on the Ibar to adjust most system settings.

Then when I enter the disc back into my drive to get a prompt of some sort to install Macpup nothing happens. I do not know if it is even burnt. I think it may be burnt, because I cannot open the disc or anything. Any suggestions on what I am suppose to do?

I've got a handful of experience with Ubuntu, but that's it. Recently I'm running the latest Macpup 528 on a Acer Travelmate 7510 Notebook because it's fast and suitable for tendious tasks. There's also installed Windows 7. Compared to Windows 7 the Notebook gets exceptionally hot running Macpup. The temp gadget talks about 60° C though the Notebook runs in idle or does light tasks such as text editing. Using Windows 7 the fan only runs when there are heavier tasks but with Macpup it even runs idling. Has anyone an idea how to fix the problem?

This is the method I use because some of the java.pets of sfs files dont always work. First make a /usr/java folder. Then go to this page and download and save the Linux self extracting file it's 20.6 MB <a href="http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com" rel="nofollow">http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com</a> Then use geany to copy down these instructions so you can close firefox. Now move the jre-6u30-linux-i586.bin you just downloaded into /usr/java Open a terminal in /usr/java and run: chmod a+x jre-6u30-linux-i586.bin The name of the bin should change color from black to red in rox. Now run: ./jre-6u30-linux-i586.bin Let it do it's thing.When it finishes it will say "done" in the terminal. Now run : cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins And then run: ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_30/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so That's it. Now open firefox and run about:plugins in the address bar and see if java is listed down at the bottom <img src="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j106/runtt21/java2.jpg" /> In the macpup528 folder on my macpup page I have a Macpup-jre-control.pet that will add a menu entry for the java control panel. To run java web start apps you need to link javaws from /usr/java/jre1.6.0_30/bin into usr/sbin.  Then you can make a script to run javaws to the web site with the web app. For example I use this script to run the cgoban client for the KGS go server,  #!/bin/sh javaws <a href="http://files.gokgs.com/javaBin/cgoban.jnlp" rel="nofollow">http://files.gokgs.com/javaBin/cgoban.jnlp</a> If you can download the .jnlp file you can run it to like this script I use to run the Jago client. #!/bin/sh javaws /root/working/jago.jnlp rkonrad on "help with java" http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/help-with-java#post-2497 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 23:31:24 +0000 rkonrad 2497@http://hardkap.net/forums/ I'm on macpup 528 and have installed java from various sources: quickpet, sfs and java doesn't work.

While I have tried my hands on many distros (which includes a 2 year old version of puppy for some file recovery work) my primary OS has been either Ubuntu or Arch. The thing I love most about ubuntu is that it has packages for all the things I want. But as Ubuntu is developing, it is losing backwards compatibility to my old machine which uses Intel graphics. It has forced me to move away from Ubuntu, so I don't have to pray to god so my Xorg will work. I cannot go back to Arch because its just too much work in maintaining it. The very first idea that came to my mind was to install a minimal distro, and with that the instant recollection was of puppy linux with its minimal GUI and it bloody worked on my intel graphics. I have two questions, 1) Does it still work on the onboard intel graphics that comes with pentium 4? 2) I know puppy is a minimal distro, but I cannot live without the latest version of gcc, firefox, thunderbird,skype and pidgin. I also need to use wine from time to time. I can take care of install qucs and a torrent client. Is puppy still capable of this?

So I made a Frugal install (I got some problems with Full), and made a savefile, but I only give to it some MB, and when I tried to install GIMP it said that I need more space, so I resized it to 2GB, but now I think that I probably need more space. So, is there a way that I can give to my savefile more space (Is the only savefile on the Netbook), for example, to 40 or 50 GB (The Netbook has 55GB).

Next issue is my usb wireless adapter, the internal Atheros works fine, but my Alpha AWUS036H is a problem, i know this is a issue with many distros but it seems it is loading the correct driver, it works out of the box on Backtrack (for obvious reasons if ya know what this adapter is famous for )and i also had no problems with it on PC-Linux live disk, Im hoping to resolve this issue with MacPup because Im getting ready to install BODHI on my brand spankin new HP G62-340us notebook that i got for the unreal price of $279 US, i know the issue with the adapter will likely be the same with that install as well, so i would like to solve it now with my MacPup on the netbook, like i said i know there are known issues with certain distros and this adapter, some fixes are available, my question is does anybody on this forum have a easy fix? Love the distro! My netbook is BLAZING fast, gonna test drive the dual boot for a few weeks and the decide if im gonna dump Windows 7 all together and just run MacPup and maybe another small distro on the netbook, but not until i get the touchpad tapping issue resolved.

I'm rather a linux/macpup rookie, so it's ok if you point me to any further reading ;), I sure missed some basics. My use case would be to use macpup for internet banking by using macpup for exactly this purpose only, hoping that it doesn't get poluted by any malware or the like. However, I'm looking for some additional things and answers - I encrypted my personal save file with hard encryption. Are there any opinions how safe my USB stick now is (e.g. are stored passwords and data really safe or can they be hacked rather easily if I lose my USB stick) - Is there an automatic update function in macpup to always get the latest fixes (assuming there are such as in every software :) ) as a really dumb user a tray Icon saying like 'your make pup is up to date' would be cool and very assuring... - are there any good virus scanners etc to be used in macpup - how can I configure macpup/grub(?) such that it can not access the hard disks on the notebook I'm running it on by any chance? - nice to have: how can I use my logitech BT mouse, hci devices don't seem to exist at all.

This time I hope my question is not so foolish. My Macpup (JWM) system is set in every way I know how to UK - time,language, keyboard etc. The /etc/keymap file reads UK but I still get @ for " and vice versa. Anyone else experienced this? neerseer on "Boot script" http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/boot-script#post-2392 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 13:49:10 +0000 neerseer 2392@http://hardkap.net/forums/ Hi, I have installed MacPup 525 on the first partition of my HD. Crunchbang is installed om the second partition. Grub 2 is used by Crunchbang to boot the system. I need a boot script to use for the menu entry in Grub 2 so I can boot MacPup. Something happened the other day and eliminated the Macpup entry from the boot menu. Macpup is still installed but I cannot boot into it. Any Help ??
