Puppy is going back to his roots. Booting from SD. Moving to a new processor. Making every bit count. Join the Puppy geek adventure for 2012. Woof Woof
Lobster tries out Raspberry Pi hardware
How do I get an operating system for my Raspberry Pi?
Currently we are recommending the just released (April 14 2012) Debian Squeeze
(Puppy not yet available) coming soon . . .
In Puppy Slacko and most modern Puppys click on the downloaded Squeeze zip
It will expand
Move to the directory where the unzipped image is and type
# dd bs=1M if=debian6-17-02-2012.img of=/dev/sdc
boot up
login pi
password raspberry
startx
for desktop
How do I change the desktop image to something Puppian?
Right click on desktop
change desktop or wallpaper (can not remember which - must have sardines) and then drag the file from USB keydrive (I added a lime coloured USB hub to the Raspberry) to the file selector
How do I install my favourite Puppy programs in the Squeeze?
Use the first terminal you come across (from I think the second Squeeze menu item)
(password = raspberry)
sudo su apt-get update apt-get install mtpaint
then run mtpaint (that is an example) from the terminal
History of Raspberry in Quotes
In almost every computation a great variety of arrangements for the succession of the processes is possible, and various considerations must influence the selections amongst them for the purposes of a calculating engine. One essential object is to choose that arrangement which shall tend to reduce to a minimum the time necessary for completing the calculation.
Ada Lovelace (died 1852 - early Pi-oneer)
The Raspberry Pi Foundation will be making a big (and very positive) announcement that just might interest you at 0600h GMT on Wednesday 29 February 2012. Come to www.raspberrypi.org www.raspberrypi.org to find out what’s going on countdown to announcement
"With tens of thousands of customers looking to order on the RS website since the launch of Raspberry Pi earlier today, this is the greatest level of demand RS has ever received for a product at one time. We clearly understand how excited customers are about this ground-breaking product and we are working closely with Raspberry Pi to satisfy this unprecedented demand." Chris Page, General Manager, Electronics at RS Components
Absolutely can't believe the interest. We've got the Chinese State Broadcasting "news" people visiting this morning Liz Upton from Raspberry Pi HQ 3 days after launch
Raspberry PI FAQS
We are near to ARM Raspberry Pi's release for our smart dogs. After we have Pi hardware, comes the first mainstream ARM Puppy ISO with testers, support, derivatives, Puppy artwork (already available), wiki and forum support etc.
We only have to support broadcom multimedia on the first build
Once Puppy is solidly on Pi, we will add drivers for other devices

How do we Boot?
I am a beginner. What do I do? Details?
