Hi.

My real name is Rainer Steffen Hain and I'm a long Time Member of this forum but made only two posts in the beginning it seems. I can't even recall what they were related to nor simply how to find out to search for them, so I didn't even return to just to visit this forum after these two posts it seems.

I'm a drummer, composer and hobbyist in developing programs for Puppy Linux and to create/design Puppy Linux operating systems.

My notorious reputation is based on LazY Puppy, L.A.S.S.I.E., SFS P.L.U.S., T.O.P.L.E.S.S. and N.E.M.E.S.I.S. plus the fact that no one ever really did understood what I am doing and what I have created over the past 8 years being a member of the murga forum.

So, I decided to quit after a huge rage (I asked for a ban) and to publish instead a new operating system with some of my main and smart features built in.

My newest operating system from the LazY Puppy Series is Art Studio 64 (its Topic is under the Puppy section) which includes some of these features.

E.g. there is a GIMP64.sfs to download. When booting Art Studio 64 into X desktop, open a terminal and type gimp into that terminal. Hit enter. You will notice there is no GIMP installed (command not found), but there's menu entry for GIMP. If you would click this menu entry GIMP will run in a few seconds.

But it comes much better than this the way. Just left-click a .jpg, .png or .xcf (or any other graphics image file) by holding shift key down, will run the GIMP and load the image into GIMP.

Remember there is no GIMP installed, but only the GIMP64.sfs!

So that's what I call the modular concept: using programs from .sfs modules just like they would have been installed but aren't installed. This modular concept is a mean part of my T.O.P.L.E.S.S. and N.E.M.E.S.I.S. Puppy Linux Wrappers which gives ability to my Puppy builds to modify/customize them at boot up process by the use of simple text based .cfg files.

So I can run them either in original shape (just as downloaded) or in a complete different setup. E.g.: the welcome first boot splash plus the personal settings popup can be suppressed just by such .cfg file and its settings.

I have explained some more of this here: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post5978151

Thanks.

Howdy!.

Suggest you scrub personal data from post.

What personal data? My real name?

My real name is already spread over the internet by the use of being a member of the murga forum for almost 8 years. It is also to be found in almost all of my scripts in all of my LazY Puppy systems being published in the past.

No need to remove it, except it would hurt the forum rules...

...would it?

Hi RSH, I tried to send you a PM on the Puppy forum but of course that didn't work.

I was hoping the notification email would at least send the subject line.

At any rate, I can PM you here. Glad the forum hasn't stopped you from working on Puppy.

I can't receive notification emails since I had trouble to re-register on the Puppy forum. So, I think it was rockedge who was able to spent an email account to me that worked to re-register. Nothing I tried from Germany worked. There were others having equal troubles. I never used that email account which rockedge offered to me again. So, I can't tell if it 's still active.

Yes, I think you can PM me here, though I need to find out how all that stuff is working here.

And no, no one will ever stop me from working on Puppy - even not Merkel!

Greetings Rainer.

Ditto, thanks.

Greetings RSH.

Ditto, thanks.
