Puppification of Arch Linux for Raspberry Pi - JWM, Rox, Geany and mtpaint for Puppi using Arch binaries
How do I get Puppi Arch?
You don't. Not yet. You make it! You customise it!
Your Puppy, your choices! It is the Arch way + Puppy Power.
Later we will have a ready made real PuppySchoolRaspberryPi Puppi Arch
So what is this exactly?
This is Arch Linux with Puppy small efficient programs added . . .
Get me started!
OK - you got it!
Step 1 download and install the Arch image file for Raspberry Pi on a SD card
With Puppy
In Puppy Slacko and most modern Puppys click on the downloaded Arch zip
It will expand
Move to the directory where the unzipped image is, open a console by
right clicking and select new terminal. Type
# dd bs=1M if=archlinuxarm-27-03-2012.img of=/dev/sdc
The part archlinuxarm-27-03-2012.img is the image and if you have a later image
replace with the updated image name
Other methods Other distros and Windows
Step 2 run 'Arch'
boot up
login root
password root
You are now at the Arch command line
Step 3 Update 'Arch'
(optional but recommended)
Arch is a rolling release - constantly updated .
Update command can take a while - took about 40 minutes on broadband
pacman -Syu
Step 4 install JWM Window Manager
This will give you the 'Puppy standard' Joes Window Manager . . .
pacman -S xf86-video-fbdev jwm
Step 5 start JWM Window Manager
xinit /usr/bin/jwm
Step 6 add Puppy style programs
Open the terminal
pacman -S rox geany mtpaint netsurf
optional but recommended
open terminal
pacman -S ttf-dejavu
Step 8 run programs
Open the terminal and type
rox or geany etc
Step 9 Create an image file of my changes for other Puppi Users?
Step 10 Add programs compiled for Raspberry Pi ARM v6
Step 11 Add/Create custom Bacon Programs
Put SYNC after DISPLAY
like so
Code:
DISPLAY
SYNC
on programs using HUG
Useful commands
tar xvzf something.tar.gz decompresses files eg. gtkdialog for ARM
If you want root access "sudo passwd root" at prompt after login / before "startx".
“sudo modprobe snd_bcm2835” at prompt after login / before "startx" for sound
Where do I read more info?
