Special Information
Puppy Linux is a lightweight Linux distribution that focuses on ease of use. The entire system can be run from RAM, allowing the boot medium to be removed after the operating system has started.
Applications such as AbiWord (a free word processing application), Gnumeric (a spreadsheet) and MPlayer (a free multimedia player) are included, along with a wide choice of web browsers that can be installed.
The distribution was originally developed by Barry Kauler and other members of the community. The tool Woof can build a Puppy Linux distribution from the binary packages of other Linux distributions.
Linux Installation Instructions
Download puppy531-XXX.tar.gz to /
https://sourceforge.net/projects/erpxe/files/plugins/
extract puppy531-XXX.tar.gz file:
tar -xvzf puppy531-XXX.tar.gz
Download Puppy Linux 5.2.8 (Lucid) ISO Latest Version to /mnt/ :
http://puppylinux.org/main/Download%20Latest%20Release.htm
Mount ISO file to temporary location (/mnt/cdrom/)
mkdir /mnt/cdrom/ mount -o loop /mnt/lupu-528.iso /mnt/cdrom/
There are several distros in the Puppy Linux Family: Fatdog , Lucid , Quirky , Slacko , and Wary.
We used LUCID as an example - to use a diffrent version replace the folder name accordingly.
/tftpboot/er/plugins/puppy/fatdog/
/tftpboot/er/plugins/puppy/lucid/ /tftpboot/er/plugins/puppy/quirky/ /tftpboot/er/plugins/puppy/slacko/ /tftpboot/er/plugins/puppy/wary/
Copy vmlinuz to appropriate directory: (LOWER CASE ONLY!)
cp /mnt/cdrom/vmlinuz /tftpboot/er/plugins/puppy/Template:Lucid/
We will have to repack the initrd.gz file to contain the SFS file:
Create a temporary folder:
mkdir /tftpboot/temp cd /tftpboot/temp/
Copy initrd.gz from mounted CD to temporary folder:
cp /mnt/cdrom/initrd.gz /tftpboot/temp/
Extract and remove intird.gz file:
zcat /tftpboot/temp/initrd.gz | cpio -i -H newc -d rm initrd.gz
Copy SFS file from mounted CD to temporary folder:
cp /mnt/cdrom/{lupu_528.sfs} /tftpboot/temp/
Repack the new initrd.gz file:
find | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -4 > /tftpboot/er/plugins/puppy/{lucid}/initrd.gz
Remove temporary folder:
rm -R /tftpboot/temp/
Verify files with filelist.txt in each folder.
All Done!
