Python, Puppy and Raspberry Pi blog from Antiloquax and Lobster
Once Puppy is solidly on Pi, we will add drivers for PARM other PARM devices
New Click for PuppiArch Puppi Arch base
Click for Puppi Puppi Debian Squeeze base
What are the proposed Puppi spec?
These are likely to change
- Run in the 256MB ram of the Pi
This means we can lock the SD card if we wish and write to a second device for config and data e.g. a keydrive. It also means calling from memory cache rather than SD
- Recognizable Puppy scripts and programs
In the Debian Squeeze Lobster is currently experimenting with:
running programs = Geany, Midori, Leafpad
installed mtpaint, xchat etc - see Puppi
Pets being compiled by Barryk - including gtkdialog
- JWM - Joe's Window Manager
- Rox File Manager
- Puppi Control Panel
- Puppi Soft Phone
- Puppi GROWL Security
- Mhwaveedit
- MoManager - create non-english Puppi
- Puppi Cloud support, Meebo, Gmail, Yahoo, IRC etc
- Transmission bit torrent
- Emergency Yodel button - optional
How soon before Puppi is on the Raspberry Pi?
Guys our worst developer - that would be me Lobster, has a Rpi board. It came two days before general release. Debian, Fedora and Arch have had boards six months ahead of us. More able developers such as Barry, Raffy, Sickgut, Antiloquax, MarkG and others have boards on order.
The Raspberry Puppi is part of PARM. We are making Puppy available for ARM processors, tablets and smart dog and bones
How do I get an operating system for my Raspberry Pi NOW?
Mark (antiloquax) is working on an ARCH based Puppy in Qemu
This base will help bootstrapping a Puppi distro
Debian Squueeze for Raspberry Pi contains some Puppy familiar programs, such as Geany and Leafpad
Can I have a step by step setup tutorial?
How do I burn the Debian Image; the downloadable .img with Puppy?
In Puppy Slacko and most modern Puppys, click on the downloaded Squeeze zip
The zip will extract.
Move to unzipped image directory, open a console by
right clicking and select new terminal. Type
# dd bs=1M if=debian6-19-04-2012.img of=/dev/sdc
The part debian6-19-04-2012.img is the operating system image and if you have a later image
replace with the updated image name
And for ArchLinux?
dd bs=1M if=archlinuxarm-27-03-2012.img of=/dev/sdc
login root
password root
No Window manager just cli
type help to get started
New Are there other distros to try on the RPi whilst awaiting Puppi?
Raspbian tweaked Debain used and suggested by John Murga
Redsleeve not tested
How to do I use Mtpaint screenshot?
See the info on installing favourite Puppy programs
When installed mtpaint is in your LX menu under graphics
The screenshot facility in mtpaint is under File/Actions/Time delayed screenshot
What the ffffffffff?
If you are getting strange auto-repeats or other weird behaviour try plugging the USB keyboard or other device directly into the Rpi, or use a powered hub.
What if I am American?
Any Youtube tutorials?
Can I have Raspberry PI FAQS?
After developers, testers and users have Pi hardware, we can move towards the first mainstream ARM Raspberry Puppi ISO
Puppy artwork (already available), wiki and forum support etc.
Which Raspberry Pi Foundation resources should I use?
Join Pi forum Pi thread
Join Raspberry_Pi on twitter for news as it happens
