NEWS
260128/260125 about PuppEX Forky64 - Build
260128/260125 - with Openbox/JWM respectively LXQt
2.3
My new DebianDog/Puppy
Linux derivatives (two versions) are
built using the Forky
Build Script. They are compatible with Debian Forky
- upcoming
Debian 14. They are for UEFI
computers and non-UEFI computers. Build 260128/260125
uses Openbox/JWM
respectively LXQt
2.3 as Desktop Environment (DE). "Compatible
with Debian 14" means that you can use the apt
commands (apt update, apt upgrade, apt install
MyUsefulPackage etc.) and Synaptic
for installing thousands of new Debian packages in
PuppEX Forky64. PuppEX Forky64 can easily be installed
manually (frugal
install) to hard drive if you have at least one
Linux system installed. You must also use Grub
as boot loader. Read about how to do that at https://puppex.exton.se
SPECIAL NOTE
PuppEX Forky64 JWM/LXQt is not a "normal" Puppy Linux
remaster, since it is based on DebianDog,
which is a very small Debian live distribution
shaped to look and act like Puppy Linux. Debian
structure and behavior are untouched. See: https://github.com/DebianDog
HOW
TO make a FRUGAL installation - Instruction...
SAVE without a FRUGAL installation
When you run version 260128 of PuppEX Forky64 from a
USB stick you'll be asked to create a SAVE folder
when you shut down the system. Such folder can be
created on an ext4 partition. No need for a Grub
installation then.
NOTE ABOUT SOUND: In PuppEX Forky64 Build
260128/260125 with JWM/LXQt you will NOT have sound
when logged in as root.
Study all installed packages in Build
260128 respectively Build
260125...
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT PuppEX Forky64 Openbox/JWM/LXQt
BUILD 260128/260125
Normally you run all Puppy Linux versions as root.
I.e. you will automatically be logged in as root to
the desktop. Not as regards Build 260128/260125
though. When the boot process is ready you will end up
at LightDM's
Login Manager page. Log in as the ordinary user puppy
with password puppex. You will then enter the
LXQt Desktop. You can also log in to Openbox/JWM/LXQt
as root with password root. While
logged in as the ordinary user puppy you can of course
use Sudo to become
root. Example command: sudo pcmanfm-qt.
Differences
Build 260128 works in the same way as Build 260125.
The only difference is that Build 260128 uses Openbox
alternatively JWM
as DE (instead of LXQt). It also has Google Chrome
installed. JWM is the traditional Puppy Linux DE. JWM
(Joe's Window Manager) is a light-weight window
manager for the X11 Window System. JWM is written in
C and uses only Xlib at a minimum. Openbox is
default in Build 260128 though. With
PCManFM
and LXPanel.
Very similar to the LXDE
DE.
REMASTER PuppEX Forky64
Please note that you can build your own Puppy Forky64
version using PuppEX Forky64 JWM/LXQt as a "template".
Do it like this:
1) Make a frugal install of PuppEX Forky64
2) Change everything to your liking
3) Start the remasterscript (Quick Remaster Gui).
Watch this screenshot.
(It is for PuppEX Trixie64, but the app/script works
in the same way in PuppEX Forky64).
ALTERNATIVE: You can build your own
DebianDog/Forky64 System following the instructions

ABOUT PuppEX Trixie64 - BUILD 251222 - with KDE
Plasma 5:162
Some people think
that using Wayland
in a Linux System is very important. I have therefore
built a PuppEX System which has Wayland installed. I
call it PuppEX Trixie64 KDE Wayland 251222. My
new Puppy Linux derivative is built using the Trixie Build Script (mklive-trixie).
The new System is compatible with Debian
Trixie - Debian 13. It is for UEFI
computers and non-UEFI computers. Build 251222
uses KDE
Plasma 5:162 as Desktop environment (DE).
"Compatible with Debian 13" means that you can use the
Apt command
(apt update, apt upgrade, apt install
MyUsefulPackage etc.) and Synaptic
for installing thousands of new Debian packages in
PuppEX Trixie64. Study all pre-installed
packages in PuppEx Trixie64 KDE.
Install to hard drive
PuppEX Trixie64 can easily be installed manually (frugal
install) to hard drive if you have at least one
Linux system installed. You must also use Grub
as boot loader.

NOTE ABOUT SOUND
In PuppEX Trixie64 Build 251222 with KDE/Wayland you

can't run as root.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT PuppEX Trixie64 KDE BUILD 251222
Normally you run all Puppy Linux versions as root.
I.e. you will automatically be logged in as root to
the desktop. Not as regards Build 251222 though. When
the boot process is ready you will end up at SDDM's
Login Manager page. Log
in as the ordinary user puppy with
password puppex. You will then enter the KDE
Plasma Desktop. You can also log in to KDE as root
(Other) with password root. While logged in as
the ordinary user puppy you can of course use Sudo to become root. Example
command: sudo pcmanfm.

NEWS ABOUT
PuppEX Slack64 15.0 251110
This Puppy derivative
is built by me using Puppy
Linux Woof-CE Builder. It is compatible with Slackware
15.0 and uses kernel 6.17.7-aufs-exton.
This Puppy system works very well on UEFI
and non-UEFI computers. You can build your own
Puppy Linux Slackware 15 compatible system using
PuppEX as "groundwork". Just start the remaster tool (Remaster
Puppy) and follow the instructions given by the
remaster script. Study all installed
packages in this PuppEX build.
I've installed NVIDIA's proprietary driver 58.82.09.
That's because I could not get X to work on one of my
computers with a new NVIDIA
card RTX 4060 in any other way. The driver will
be used if you have a relatively new NVIDIA card. If
the card isn't automatically recognized after boot you
shall run the command xorgwizard. When
choosing card you shall go for Auto. After
that restart X and you will hopefully enter the
Desktop as root.
When booting you may
see one error message regarding an unclean
shutdown. Just ignore it and the boot will
continue!
For a frugal
installation of PuppEX Slack64 add the following boot
lines to your existing Grub configuration
(/boot/grub/grub.cfg):
menuentry
'PuppEX Slack64 exton build (FRUGAL - sdb2 -
SAMSUNG) 251110' --class gnu-linux --class gnu

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX
Dev64 with the ROX
Desktop Environment - Build 251014
This Puppy derivative is made by me. It is built from
Devuan Linux 5.0
(Daedalus) packages and packages built from woof-CE
Recipes. I've also compiled a brand new kernel - 6.17.1-puppex.
This is possibly one of the best PuppEX versions I've
ever made. Everything just works! I could run the
system very well on all of my six different computers.
Among them on a really old computer Acer
Aspire 5102WLMi from 2006. Study all installed
packages in this PuppEX build. NOTE: Debian
12 bookworm (and thus Devuan 5.0) will
be supported until June 30th, 2028. Note also that you
can use the Apt
command (apt update, apt upgrade, apt install
MyUsefulPackage etc.) and Synaptic
for installing thousands of new Devuan/Debian packages
in PuppEX Dev64.
About Devuan
Devuan GNU+Linux is a fork
of Debian without systemd that allows users to
reclaim control over their system by avoiding
unnecessary entanglements and ensuring Init
Freedom.
NVIDIA
I've installed NVIDIA's proprietary driver 58.82.09.
That's because I could not get X to work on one of my
computers with a new NVIDIA
card RTX 4060 in any other way. The driver will
be used if you have a relatively new NVIDIA card. If
the card isn't automatically recognized after boot you
shall run the command xorgwizard. When
choosing card you shall go for Auto. After
that restart X and you will hopefully enter the
Desktop as root.
INSTALL PuppEX Dev64 to hard drive
That is best done in the same way (frugal)
as regards PuppEX Jammy64 - see below.
How
to make a frugal installation - Instruction...
IMPORTANT NOTE: The normal remasterpup2
script (which is included in all Puppy Linux versions)
doesn't work in PuppEX Dev64. The remasterpup2 script
works very well in PuppEX Trixie64 though. It works
very well in PuppEX Slack64 15.0 too.
NOTE1: PuppEX Dev64 uses the original Devuan
5.0 repositories.
NOTE2: The best way to run PuppEX Dev64 (or any
Puppy Linux system) is still to run it from a USB
stick and save the system changes on the stick. You
will be asked about that when you reboot or shutdown
your computer.
DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
If you need development tools you shall download and
load puppex_devx-devuan.sfs.
Put puppex_devx-devuan.sfs in the folder where you
have "installed" PuppEX and then click on it to load
it. Test it by running the command which git.
