On the this moment Linux distributions are released with a thoroughly worked interface and with all sorts of goodies. In comparison with other distributions, Puppy Linux looks outdated and less attractive. Puppy Linux may not win beauty contest, however, it is important that inside and not outside. If you take a look at the distribution not paying attention to appearance, detect the pearl of the Linux distribution.

Puppy Linux was written by Australian Professor Barry Kauler.

Distribution is created to be small, efficient and user friendly. This category includes well-known distributions, such as Damn Small Linux, Slax and SAM Linux, but Puppy Linux has serious advantages:

Collected almost from scratch. Puppy is very small and not demanding to the gland.

When loading with CD, the entire dystro is loaded into rAM And starts without the need to access the CD, which makes Puppy very chest.

Puppy makes it possible to save session data into a separate file, even if you run a dyro with CD-RW.

Puppy Linux is installed on any media including USB Flash, hDD or to the memory card.

The system configuration can be easily changed using a convenient setup tool.

Puppy Linux includes quick and convenient applications For the Internet, office, graphics, video, sound and even several entertainment games.

Puppy includes its own file managerBy installing additional applications trifle.

As a result, Puppy Linux is an ideal distribution kit for use on old computers.

As well as with any other Linux distribution First you need to download the ISO image of Puppy latest version And burn it on CD. Make sure the primary bios booting device Assigned CD drive.

Like other Live CD Distractions, Puppy supports boot parameters. For example, Puppy PFIX \u003d RAM The parameter causes Puppy Linux boot into the RAM without loading the saved session, at the same time Puppy PFIX \u003d PURGE makes global stripping files that can be very useful for system recovery. The full sheet of boot parameters and their descriptors can be viewed on the Wiki Puppy Linux page.

In the process of loading, you must select a graphical server X, consisting of two XORG and Xvesa options. Xorg supports many advanced settings for modern iron, but may not start on old computers. Xvesa has a limited number of settings, but it starts almost on any computer configuration. Usually users choose first xorg if the screen does not show anything after that, then you can choose Xvesa. As soon as Puppy boot need to choose optimal permission Screen. Puppy has an excellent permission control system. All you need to choose the desired resolution and click the Test button. If everything is displayed on the screen correctly, but you can continue to work by pressing Okay. You can also determine the resolution manually. As soon as Puppy finally booted, take a look at the picture on the desktop, which contains several prompts, including information about the available RAM memory, the status of connecting to the Internet and saving your settings and data.

Install Puppy Linux

Although Puppy Linux is perfectly started with the CD, you can also install it on any media. Puppy includes its own installer. Run it by choosing in menu menu → Setup → Puppy Universal Installer. Installer includes detailed information About the installation process, and we recommend that you read everything carefully, choosing the necessary options.

For example, to load a Puppy with a USB flash, which uses FAT32 file system, you need to install files to the boot sector. To install the files to the boot sector, select the MBR.BIN option when the dialog appears with the list of available loaders. If you install Puppy in new USB A flash drive, most likely it is not formatted as a boot device. In this case, you must run gparted.

Run gparted, click on the Flip section right-click Mouse and choose Manage Flags. Next, select Boot and click OK to close the window and confirm our changes by clicking the Apply button. Then we close the gparted and the installer will finish everything else yourself. Install Puppy on the hard drive is also easy. You need to choose between the minimum (FRUGAL) and complete (FULL) installation. With minimal PUPPY installation, it simply copies multiple files (VMLinuz, initrd.gz, pup_301.sfs and zdrv_301.sfs) with a CD to the selected logic disk, which allows you to run Puppy Linux as a Live CD dystro, only from a hard disk and saving a session and data On hard disk. You also need to configure the GRUB loader manually. Full setting Allows you to set the entire distribution on the hard disk in the logical disk you selected.

Run Puppy Linux with QEMU

Puppy, installed on USB flash, makes a distribution very compact. Instead of carrying a laptop with you, you can run Puppy on any computer using a flash drive. However, in some cases you will not be allowed to restart Windows and go to Puppy Linux. QEMU Manager is an emulator that allows you to run Puppy on windows platform . It is also important that QEMU Manager is a compact program and so we can install it on USB flash with Puppy Linux. To create virtual MachineFounded on QEMU with Puppy Linux, you need to download the QEMU program and the image of the last version of Puppy Linux. Unpack QEMU Manager and copy folder to USB flash. Copy ISO image to the QEMU Manager directory and launch qmumanager.exe. Click Create New Virtual Machine, then an assistant will appear, which will help you set up a new virtual machine. All assistant options are quite understandable and you will be able to install a new virtual machine (VM).

Once all the steps in creating a VM are passed, check out that the View Advanced Configuration Options After Saving Box is marked. Next, click the Save Virtual Machine button, which saves the new VM and opens the settings window. Next, go to the Disk Configuration tab. In the CD-ROM section, click the Browse button and select the ISO image with Puppy Linux. Select the boot from CD-ROM option. Save the settings by clicking on the Save button and now, you can close the window. After that, you can run Puppy on the VM by clicking on the Launch button.

Configure Puppy Linux

Puppy Linux has a control panel that will allow you to configure OS without any problems. To invoke the control panel, select MENU → SETUP → Wizard Wizard. This control panel will help you configure any PUPPY aspect, including local settings, sound, x video, internet connection and firewall. If Puppy has not configured, as the driver on WiFi, you can set them manually. To do this, click Load Module, select the desired module From the list of drivers, and click Load. If the driver for your WiFi card is not in the list, you have the ability to install a Windows driver using NdisWrapper. Go to the More section, select NdisWrapper, specify necessary driver And click OK.

As soon as the file is loaded, you need to create new profile (New Profile). Indicate the desired deviceClicking the AppOptiate button, select Wireless, Create New Profile and fill the required fields. The assistant supports multiprophili. With it, you can switch between different wireless networks. To return the default settings, you can use the Menu → Desktop utility → PuppyBackGround Image. You can also remove the icon from the desktop. Click right-click on the desired icon and select Remove. If you selected the minimum setting or you run Puppy with USB flash drives or another removable device all your settings and data will be saved in separate file pup_save.2fs. For next download Puppy will automatically download the created Pup_save.2fs file.

Install applications

Puppy Linux has its own package manager that can be used to install additional packages from the official repository. Puppy uses its own format called PET, so the list of applications available in PET packages is not big, but it contains basic applications such as Mozila Firefox., OpenOffice.org, Gimp and others. To install the application using Puppy Package Manager, you just need to highlight the desired application and click Okay. Then the Manager downloads the selected package, checks its integrity and installs. In addition, you can manage the I.DEB packages that allow you to use debiano packages. To access this feature you need to install 2 packages using Puppy Package Manager: Dillo web browser and PB_DebiaInstaller.

Next, you can download .Deb packages from the Debianovsky repository. Run the Menu → Utility → Rxvt Terminal Emulator terminal and enter the PB-DebianInstaller command. This command will launch the installer and the Dillo browser. We find the Choose button and select the downloaded.deb package, click Check Dependencies and install the required packages, if required. After pressing the Install Now and Finish button, everything is ready.

After that you can run the installed program from the terminal. For removing installed program You can use Puppy Package Manager. After installing Debian packages, keep in mind that PB_DeBianInstaller is still experimental version, and can make your system unstable. Use this program with caution and do not forget to do backup Systems.

Reoper Puppy Linux

After you set up the system and installed applications necessaryYou can collect your own Linux dystro. The necessary program Included in Puppy (Menu → Setup → Remaster Puppy Live-CD) Allows you to rebuild it all with a few clicks. The program of all-manually creates a Pup_301.sfs file (where 301 is a PUPPY version number), creates an ISO image and writes it on a CD-DVD. All you need to choose a logical or disk from which the program will make an ISO image.

It all started with the fact that I downloaded my laptop from the flash drive and received this wonderful PuppyRus-A system (abbreviated PRA)! You did not have a limit - everything flies, the battery works 50% longer, there is everything you need for work and all this is 200 MB distribution! By configuring the system for yourself, I recommended my friends to put a PRA. After 3 days I find out that one of the 4 people no one coped with this simple, at first glance, the task! Problems were as follows

how to choose the desired distribution

how to make a loading flash drive

how to install a system and software

1. How to choose a distribution

2. How to make a bootable flash drive

To install PRA, a flash drive is required 4-8 GB, it is more hardly necessary. To not be confused with files, clean the flash drive from all content, you can even format. We need only a place equal to the size of the distribution image of + 300-500 megabytes to the settings file - while the flash drive is approximately 1 GB will be involved in PRA, the rest of the space can be used for storing anything, i.e. The flash drive can be used in direct intended. File system on FAT32 or NTFS flash drive.

Choose a flash drive based on speed characteristics. It will reduce the download time and save your future system! Use utilities for measuring performance.

All work on the preparation of flash drives will be done in windows Environment (in Linux you can also). We will need any program to reveal iSO image (7-Zip, Ultraiso, Total Commander. with connected plugins, etc.). All we need, we take inside the weather or create themselves. We find a folder in the sewn wIN. Here on this way: pra03-1503midDle1.iso \\ Boot \\ Grub4dos \\ Install \\ And rewrite it in the flax root. From the root ISO rewrite on the flash drive files grldr. and menu.lst.. The contents of the flash drive looks like this:

Now let's make a flash drive. Need to work with administrator rights!!! On the flash drive will start the file /win/Grubinst_gui.exe., choose your flash drive in the upper window (do not confuse with HDD and focus on the size!)
UPD: If you want to speed up the download from the flash drive, check the NO Backup MBR checkboxes, Disable PrevMBr and enter 0 in the "TimeOut" field

downstairs click Install And get this window:

In this place sometimes problems arise! In some cases wingrub. Completes its work with an error. But sooner or later we will be able to get the result, by what ways (you can offer your own methods):

read the error message, add the proposed key to the "EXTRA" window and try again.

did not work B. Win7.but easily happened in WinXP.

it turned out after formatting flash drive utility HP USB Disk Storage Format (Found on the Network)

helped if you put a frashka sign boot in a programme gparted. in Ubuntu. (choose a section, flag control, put a tick boot).

in the environment WIN. make a flash drive an active integrated utility diskpart. of command line or external software. Such a flash drive B. Windows (disk management) will show a sign of the section " active" For some reason grub. Sometimes on some flash drives it does not. (google and find !!).

write the ISO image on the CD, boot from it and, working in the system, create a bootable flash drive (start-system-round installation).

use ultraiso programs or RUFUS, they can format and create bootable flash drives from ISO.

UPD: Sometimes you need to enter the key in the Extra -Skip-MBR-TEST field.

It is noticed that most often problems are with flash drives, on which the manufacturer predets its software!

The specified methods managed to make the loading 8 flash drives, which the first times refused to become booting! By the way, all that we did with a USB flash drive can be done with an SD card, just not each device supports the boot from the SD card. If none of the existing ways to make a flash drive loaded to you, change the flash drive !!!.

And so, all the preparatory procedures are completed, we try to boot from the prepared flash drive, installing such an opportunity in the BIOS of your device (for different devices There are different combinations of keys to enter the BIOS, no one has problems, look for help online). If, as a result of the first download, you received a multi-colored menu with krakoyabram, placed in the frame - Congratulations! You all happened, the last step remained! To make the menu readable, delete the folder on the flash drive wIN., write to the whole folder instead boot From the source (there and fonts and everything you need), overload, and !!! You can pour a cool menu!

Worse, when you saw anything at the first boot. Do again everything that is described above maybe you made a mistake at some stage, or try to replace the flash drive. There are answers to many questions related to the preparation of flash drive and system loading.

3. Plive the software on a flash drive

This is the simplest thing we need to do. We remove all that we recorded on it and rewrite all the contents of ISO. That's all! Now the flash drive looks like this:

Loading, select in the menu Loading in the RAM ... ..\u003e 500 MB "and get a clean system !!! It remains only to set it up for yourself and save. About this in the next step by step instructions -

https://youtu.be/wj86h8qyfae - here video - how to put PuppyRus-a Linux (Puzzle) on the USB flash drive.

4. Installation on HDD

Gentle can be installed on a hard disk as the main (single) operating system or in addition to existing, for example Win7. Installation on a hard disk in both cases is no different from installation on a flash drive, you need to make the same steps

being in Windows Unpack the contents of ISO to the root of the disk C: /, in this case you mix all the files and folders from the right and win, but this is a purely aesthetic inconvenience, the system will not affect the system, edit Menu.lst in this case

launch the /Win/Grubinst_Gui.exe file under accounting administrator (launch from the name) and install the Grub4dos loader to the disk, as described above

Now you can overload. You will be available for boot and win. You can get to Win from 2-seats during the download process. For the first time by pressing the Space key in response to the downloader message, the second time from the Boot menu by selecting the "Download C HDD" item.

If the right is set as a single system and you do not have the ability to boot under Win, then all installation procedures can be done by booting with a CD of a disc created from the right image, then select the fought installation and go through the steps, selecting the items in the proposed menu.

https://youtu.be/3b-al7w-moy is a video, how to put Puppyrus-a Linux (PRA) on HDD.
- here detailed description Another option, without installing the bootloader, with the possibility of kickback.

4.1.1 Hard disks, partitions and file systems

The hard disk can be divided into several parts (sections). In the operating system, each such partition looks like a separate hard drive. In Windows, each partition of the hard disk (as well as floppy drives and CD-ROM drives) corresponds to its letter. Usually a: - This is a floppy drive, C: - Primary hard disk section, D: - cD-ROM drive, E: - the second section of the hard disk, etc. Most often, Windows uses file nTFS system or FAT32.

In Linux, the primary section is addressed as / dev / hda or / dev / sda. First letter ( h.dA) Indicates the type of disk: "H" - IDEHD, "S" - SATAHD or Flash, Second (H d.a) Letter means: "D" - disk (Disk), Third (HD a.) - Disc number. For example, if you have on your PC second tough Disk, it is addressed as / dev / hdb or / dev / sdb. Sections are numbered in order, starting with a unit. The hard disk / dev / hda1 section corresponds to the disk with Windows, partition / dev / hda2 corresponds to the E Disk (if D - CD-ROM), etc. Linux can work with many different file systems, including ext2, ext3 or reiserfs. These FS in Windows without special read will not be read, but Linux can freely work with file windows systems. Best of all, the Linux is supported by FAT32, so to exchange information and joint storage in Linux and Windows Best Total use this FS. The main thing is to remember that the files cannot be placed on FAT32 if the volume exceeds 4 GB.

4.1.2 Defragment Hard Disk

Download the Defraggler defragmentation program. The program is good because it works faster than the built-in Windows defragmentator. Constantly updated and refined, unlike the latter. The Russian interface is present. So there will be no difficulties when used. Install Defraggler on your computer, launch and first choose the interface language:

After localization, select the disk that is required to be defraged (1), press the Analysis button (2) and check the disk for the presence of fragmented (divided) files. Such files are displayed in red. If there are many similar places on the disk, and the size of the disk is large (40 GB or more), the process of defragmentation may take a long time.

After reading the results of the analysis, we click the defragmentation button and wait for the completion of the operation.

4.1.3 Creating sections

Now you need to plan the amount, size and type of partitions created. I recommend to create in addition to the section with Windows another three sections. In this example, it is assumed that initially there is one section with Windows (disk with :). After breaking the hard disk will look something like this:

Primary section: NTFS or FAT32 (Windows)

Second section: ext2 or ext3 (on this section we will install Puppy)

Third section: Linux swap section (Linux Swap)

Fourth section: FAT32 (for sharing files between Windows and Linux)

Windows we will leave on the primary section. The second section will have a Linux file system (EXT2 or EXT3), we install Puppy. The third section must be made a little more than the size of the RAM of your computer and format the Linux Swap file system. This section for paging files. The fourth section FAT32 will be designed to exchange files between Linux and Windows, its recommended size is the remaining free space.

With the procedure for dividing a disk to sections (preparation for installation) you can familiarize yourself with, looking at the video. Roller

Video size: 516 kb.

Upon completion of all procedures, the following should be obtained:

Close Gparted. Now you can go to the PuppyRus setting on the hard disk.

4.2 Installation

4.2.1 Frugal Installation Using "Puppy Universal Installer" Universal Installer (Puppy Universal Installer)

Frugal Installation copies a PUPPY image file from a CD on a hard disk. At the start of the Puppy system, the RAM is read in the RAM (RAM) just as if you were loaded from the CD, but it occurs significantly faster. Thus, this method combines the benefits of loading with CD (protection against unwanted spyware) and booting from a hard disk (speed). Moreover, the transition procedure is simplified new version Puppy - everything you need is to replace some files. ()

To get acquainted with the installation process you can watch a video. Roller will start playing after full load. Depending on the size of the roller, the download may take a long time.

Video size: 4.8 MB.

Click to download and view the screenwriter created by Wink!

You can also download a video for local viewing on a computer: Archive with roller (4.8 MB)
To view the roller, unpack the archive to the folder and start the HTML file.

4.2.2 Manual Frugal Installing / Updating Puppy

To use this option, a bootloader must be installed on the computer. If the bootloader is not yet set, we recommend using the "GRUB loader configuration" ().

Load from the CD using the Puppy PFIX \u003d RAM option. Copy Pup_301.sfs ZDRV_301.SFS initrd.gz VMLinuz files

on the Linux section (EXT2 / Ext3) or FAT32.
If you update PUPPY, rewrite existing files. Configure the GRUB bootloader edited by the MENU.LST file. It is usually located on Linux on the / boot / grub directories.

Add the following lines to the MENU.LST file: Title Puppy Linux 301 Frugal (ON / DEV / HDA2) rootnoverify (HD0,1) Kernel / VMLinuz PMedia \u003d Idehd Initrd / initrd.gz

Note: (HD0,1) Specifies the hard disk and the section on which GRUB files are installed. Depending on the device from which you run the system, you will need to set the value. pMedia. on the uSBFLASH., uSBHD., uSBCD., iDEFLASH., iDEHD., iDECD, iDEZip., satahd., →

To begin, download the image of the distribution to the links of the official site http://www.puppylinux.com/. You can download the image from the Russian project Puppy: http://uco.puppyrus.org/ Using the UnetBootin program, we write an image to a flash drive. Next, be loaded from this flash drive and get acquainted with the distribution. If everything suits, you can start the installation.

There are 3 options for installing a PUPPY distribution to a computer:
Full standard installation file System On hard disk.
In this case, the hard disk creates a standard file linux system - Catalogs / Boot, / etc, / usr and TDY and work occurs both in any other Linux distribution.

Installing an uncompressed autonomous file system. On the disk in this case there are operating system files without compression. When starting a computer part system files It is transferred to the virtual file system in memory and work is already there. The user profile files are saved directly to the drive. Some system logs are written only to the virtual file system and are not saved after rebooting.

Installation of Packaged (Compressed) Autonomous File System
In this case, the entire file system is distributed among several packaged files and is saved on the drive in the form of ordinary files. At the start of the computer, the kernel is loaded, and then from files on the drive is retrieved to the memory of the file system with which it will work operating system. If the computer has more than 256 MB of RAM, this option will work. Loading the system in this option is longer, but applications will be run faster. Space hard disk Used only to save download files and work session. Periodically, the system will drop into a file or directly in a separate section of the current session dump, including user documents.

Selecting the installation option remains for the user. In the first version, as practice has shown, multiple files are overwritten in the file system - this option is applicable to machines where there is a mechanical hard disk. The second option is the "Golden Mid" between the speed and use of the resource of a solid-state rigid disk. Some system logs are not recorded on the drive and remain in the RAM file system layer, but the user profile (including the browser cache) is saved unchanged. For the second option, you must additionally configure applications for even more saving drives (for example, disabling the cache in the browser). The third option saves the drive as much as possible, but due to the compression procedure, the system loads and turns off slower. Briefly advancing and disadvantages are set forth in the table:

Separately, it is worth noting the selection of the file system for the drive (Hard or solid-state disk) and using the paging file. For solid-state drive, the best file system will be EXT2 or EXT4 (but with journaling disconnected). If an ordinary hard disk is set in the netbook - EXT4 system is quite enough. The paging file is not needed for the first option - during tests, it has never been used, and the video player and different Internet applications started by car. For the third option, it will be useful because the memory of the 512MB is still not enough to work with the location of the file system in memory. In any case, the swap file in 300 ... 350MB at the end of the file system does not prevent. If the user, instead of a solid-state drive, an ordinary hard disk is running, the Swap file can be increased to 1.5 of the size of the RAM (but not more than 2GB) and place it closer to the start of the disk.

Process installations Linux LUCID PUPPY 5.2.5 (LUPU-525) The hard disk does not constitute some kind of supercount, however, some features of this process are able to bring a beginner into the difficulty. Below Sets Lucid Puppy 5.2.5 will be described step by step, including the GRUB BOOTLOADER, with playback of the LUCID PUPPY 5.2.5, in the course of this action of screen images.

The LUCID PUPPY 5.2.5 operating system has the amount of data on a CD 128 MB and is capable of working directly from the CD. Its distribution, distributed in the form of an ISO file (CD image), recorded on the CD, insert this CD into the tray, restart the computer. If the BIOS CD-ROM is shown as the first boot device, the computer will "pick up" a compact, download files into RAM, and after about 2 minutes, the LUCID PUPPY 5.2.5 operating system will be ready for operation, despite the presence on the hard disk Computer installed earlier than another operating system.

Working with LUCID PUPPY 5.2.5 In the Live-CD mode, it has a significant advantage as reliable virus protection, since the viruses are not able to get into the CD. However, it is necessary to put up with a long start of the computer (copying files with CD), which is a significant disadvantage. Installing LUCID PUPPY 5.2.5 The hard disk allows you to significantly speed up the download, and use Puppy, as an ordinary "stationary" operating system, while highly fast.

So installing on a hard disk.

Installer is ready to work, you can run it by pressing the "Install Puppy to SDA1" button, but we will not hurry. Winchester was previously formatted in NTFS, moreover, it has only one partition. It is not good. In Linux, including Lucid Puppy, its own file system, in addition, living space For Puppy, it will be useful to slightly reduce somewhat, without giving it a whole hard drive (in order to be able to put on the same hard disk and another operating system, if in this future we will have a need). Thus, now our task is to create a Linux-separation on the SDA1 disk, say, 5 gigabytes. (Create for a Puppy section of less than 2 gigabytes is not recommended - taking into account the installation of additional Puppy programs there is not enough space.) Accordingly, we click on the "FileSystem In Partition" button.

Since the SDA1 hard drive was formatted, it is clear that there is no count on it. How to put a ram - see in the material "Grab loader for Lucid Puppy 5.2.5"directly continuing this article.
