NEWS 250913 ABOUT PuppEX Trixie64 - BUILD
250913 - with Cinnamon DE
My new Puppy Linux derivative is built using the Trixie Build Script
(mklive-trixie). It is compatible with Debian
Trixie - Debian 13. It is for UEFI
computers and non-UEFI computers. Build 250913
uses Cinnamon
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. 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 250913 with Cinnamon you will
NOT have sound when logged in as root.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT PuppEX Trixie64 Cinnamon BUILD
250913
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 250913 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 Cinnamon Desktop. You can
also log in to Cinnamon 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.
REMASTER PuppEX Trixie64
Please note that you can build your own Puppy Trixie64
version using PuppEX Trixie64 Cinnamon as a "template".
Do it like this:
1) Make a frugal
install of PuppEX Trixie64 - Instruction
2) Change everything to your liking
3) Start the remasterscript (QuickRemaster 1.7.1).

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Jammy64 22.04 241109
This Puppy derivative is made by me. It is a replacement
for Build 230222. It is built from Ubuntu
22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) packages and
packages built from woof-CE
Recipes. I've also compiled a brand new kernel - 6.11.7-exton.
The reason for this new build is that I came to realize
that Ubuntu 22.04 LTS will be supported until April
2027...
CHANGES
This build uses the standard Puppy Linux DE. I.e. ROX.
I have added PCManFM File Manager and Samba
so that you can reach your Windows computers in you home
network. Watch this screenshot...
COMPATIBLE WITH Ubuntu
22.04 LTS
PuppEX Jammy64 is compatible with Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy
Jellyfish), which means that Ubuntu packages for
Ubuntu 22.04 can be installed and used in PuppEX. You
can use the Synaptic
Package Manager or the apt
command. (apt update, apt upgrade, apt install
MyUsefulPackage etc).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The normal remasterpup2 script
(which is included in all Puppy Linux versions) doesn't
work in PuppEX Jammy64. I had to use my "special
remaster tricks" to be able to fully build PuppEX
Jammy64.
INSTALL TO HARD DRIVE
PuppEX Jammy64 can easily be installed manually to hard
drive if you have at least one Linux system installed.
You must also use Grub
as boot loader. Do it like this. (A frugal
installation).
1. Extract everything from the PuppEX ISO to a folder
called (for example) PUPPEX-JAMMY64 in the root (/) of
your Linux system. Watch this screenshot...
2. Add the following boot lines to your existing Grub
configuration (/boot/grub/grub.cfg):
menuentry 'PuppEX Jammy64 (FRUGAL - sda5) 241109'
--class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os
$menuentry_id_option

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Noble64 Mate 24.04 241031
This Puppy derivative is made by me. It is a replacement
for Build 241007. It is built from Ubuntu
24.04 (Noble Numbat) packages and packages
built from woof-CE
Recipes. I've also compiled a brand new kernel - 6.11.5-exton.
This is special about this new PuppEX version:
1. I've replaced the original Puppy Linux Desktop
(ROX)
with Mate (The
MATE Desktop Environment is
the continuation of GNOME
2. It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop
environment using traditional metaphors for Linux and
other Unix-like operating systems), which I
find more useful.
2. I've added some essential packages. Among them
Samba so you can connect to your Windows computers in
your home Network. Study all
installed packages...
The ISO size is therefore rather BIG (930 MB), but
PuppEX runs nevertheless as fast as the original Puppy,
which means that it runs very very fast! Puppy
Linux/PuppEX runs from RAM.
You'll need at least 2GB RAM to run this PuppEX
version.
NOTE: When the boot process is ready you will
automatically be logged in as root to the Mate Desktop.
The password for root is woofwoof (if
you for some reason should need it). The original root
password for all Puppy Linux distributions. When logged
in to the Mate DE you must wait a few seconds
before the Desktop and the apps are fully loaded.
COMPATIBLE WITH Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
PuppEX Noble64 Mate is compatible with Ubuntu
24.04 (Noble Numbat), which means that
Ubuntu packages for Ubuntu 24.04 can be installed and
used in PuppEX. You can use the Synaptic Package Manager
or the apt command. (apt update, apt upgrade,
apt install MyUsefulPackage etc).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The normal remasterpup2 script
(which is included in all Puppy Linux versions) doesn't
work in PuppEX Noble64. The remasterpup2 script works
very well in PuppEX Bookworm64 though. It works very
well in PuppEX Slack64 15.0 too.
NOTE: PuppEX Noble64 Mate uses the original
Ubuntu 24.04 repositories. Ubuntu 24.04 will be
supported until April 2029...
Install PuppEX Noble64 Mate to hard drive
That is best done in the same way (frugal)
as regards PuppEX Jammy64 - see above.

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Slack64 15.0 241018
This Puppy derivative is built using Puppy
Linux Woof-CE Builder. It is compatible with Slackware
15.0 and uses kernel 6.10.13-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.
I've included devx_puppex-slack64.sfs

The root (superadmin) password
Normally you have no need for root's password
in a Puppy Linux/PuppEX system (since you are always
logged in automatically as root). But if you for some
unknown reason should need it it is: woofwoof
in PuppEX Jammy64. In PuppEX Trixie64 and PuppEX
Slack64 the password is root.
NOTES
about Google Chrome
Google
Chrome can be installed in PuppEX Slack64 without
problems. You can use this pet.
Chrome can also be installed in the same way in PuppEX
Jammy64. You'll have to install one extra package though
- apt install libnss3
