I've released my version of Wyoming puppy linux(codename: wardog) and uploaded it today. In addition to the usual puppylinux applications it includes seamonkey 1.1.16 with the enigmail plugin installed and configured GPG encryption utility GPA graphical interface for GPG zfone, graphical interface utility for encrypting VOIP "phone" calls and openvpn I'm releasing it as donationware, and if I can get some money rolling in for all the hours I've spent building it, I'll keep building onto it, and creating new releases. Next on my slate of things to do, is a gtkdialog based (point n' click) utility to configure openvpn. The current release is at http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/zoot/custom-puppy-421.isoand it's md5 file is at http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/zoot/custom.md5If anyones interested in donating, send me a PM, and we'll make some arrangememts |

I believe that the people in power -- not only political power, but also economic and social power -- will not non-violently give up that power to the people. Power is not a material possession that can be given, it is the ability to act. Power must be taken, it is never given.

I'm posting this from the SeaMonkey browser in a fresh virtual machine install of Zoot's Wyoming Puppy LInux. Took me a little doing to remember all that's involved in doing a brand new frugal install to a hard drive, but I got it working. Now to see if the dev.sfs file for Puppy 4.21 will work with it, so that I can build Emacs. Then this may become my standard Puppy, which I use to build Trubanc binaries.
Thanks, Zoot.

Bill,
I can't see any reason why the dev.sfs or any other extension won't work..............but if it don't, let me know and I'll get it fixed

The devx sfs worked fine. Couldn't get Subversion to build, but emacs and git built fine, with a little work for emacs. Could probably get Subversion to work by installing full versions of the libraries it needs, but probably won't bother. Can pull those bits elsewhere and rsync 'em into the VM (which reminds me that I need to build rsync). Haven't tried building the CCL kernel yet (Clozure Common Lisp).

well.............here's a screenshot of todays build.
It shows the zfone VOIP encryption utility and it's preferences screen.
The graphical interface for openVPN that I wrote up today, along with the "server" configuration screen.
And an rxvt...........with a "real live" openvpn running in it, that has just initialized with another machine and has an encrypted tunnel between the two.....

Nice work, Zoot. I got Clozure Common Lisp to compile in my Wyoming Puppy VM. And my Trubanc code works with it.
rsync was included with the OS, so I didn't have to download and build it.

Nifty stuff, and it sure looks like it'd be fun to DL and play with this some, if it weren't for the fact that my plate is currently pretty full...
Maybe later on.

I don't know if I should post this here or in " Fun with Flash Drives", so I'll post it in both. I have installed Wyoming Puppy Linux on a thumb drive and am running it under Windows using qemu using this method: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/use-qemu-to-boot-linux-from-windows/. The problem I am having is mounting the thumb drive in order to save data from the Linux session. I don't know how to find & identify the drive. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Under puppy the drive should be /dev/sda1................and it should show up at the bottom of your puppy desktop right above or very close to the "menu" button......and when you shut puppy down............depending on your installation method.............it should give you the option of creating a save file..........and it should include /dev/sda1 in the location to create the save file to

I tried it out as well, using qemu, this morning. The flash drive loads up as a HDC1, I guess qemu makes the flash drive it's running from look like an optical drive. Won't write the session to it as it thinks it's an optical drive.
I need to fiddle with it more, as I'm at work right now, it's going to go rather slowly.

# Download your favorite Linux CD (ISO) Image and copy it to the QStart directory on the flash drive Well there's your glitch.....................an iso filesystem is read only................and I'm fairly certain that qemu considers that iso filesystem to reside on the entire device(partition)..................so the entire device is read-only............... If perchance one were to boot off the puppy cd...............then one might be able to use the Gparted graphical partition manager to create and format two partitions on the thumbdrive................and the one with the iso file on it would still be read only..................but the other one wouldn't..............and there's your storage....... And the partition that holds the iso file doesn't need to be any bigger than the iso file and whatever qemu wants there............because it's never going to get anything more written to it anyways |

Today I patched some minor bugs in some programs I've been creating for release 2
The first is a little program that you feed a domain name(ex: thementalmilitia.com) into, and it writes an entry into your /etc/hosts file, to bypass further DNS queries for that domain
The patch is a sed script that checks /etc/hosts for any existing entries for the URL, jumps through some loops and hoops, and replaces them with the new entry.............and it's purpose is to keep folks from having half a dozen copies of the same record on file...
I've also polished up the graphical configuration/operation utility that I wrote for openvpn...............it now allows authorization via PKI and the use of certificates with an additional HMAC layer of preauthorization instead of just static "private" keys...................
I've also figured out how to run ssh/sshd through the openvpn tunnels, and have setup X11Forwarding..............along with the usual sftp, scp, etc,etc that comes in the openssh package.....ah*grin*........encrypted traffic inside of an encrypted tunnel.
So now............if perchance one is at a "mobile" computer, and has access to one of these openvpn "servers"(using this distribution) one can operate programs located on the server, from the server thus allowing one to run a dead clean "mobile" computer...........right down to running seamonkey and email applications "from" the server.............and of course..............your GPG keys and keyring are also located "on" the server but are usable on the mobile computer..............so you really don't even need GPG on the mobile computer................and thus nothing gets stored on the mobile computer...............
It's kinda' slow to load great big applications............but for folks who wear their hat with the shiny side out, the extra time spent loading apps from the server would be a small price to pay for the deniability that comes from not even having any browser or email application on their mobile computer..............let alone caches full of "naughty material".............
Another thing that comes to mind is that this openvpn with the ssh/sshd stuff is accessible and usable by versions of windows equal to or higher than w2K running putty as the sshd/xwin server....... so you can run linux apps on yer windows box over the internet or a LAN.......
