Make a Puppy-Libre

To make our custom Puppy GNU/Linux more free software friendly, we should take out the "GetFlash Install Flash Player" program from the menu, also.

I know that this thread is old, but I would really to get a puppy-libre started. I asked on the Puppy Linux forum, too.

Instead of getting useful replies on the Puppy Linux forum, they think I'm some kind of "Wacktivist".

Well, it's common.
The most think only free software doesn't works. All my PCs runs like a charm with 100% free software.

Because of this I like the Trisquel forum and other FSF-related, like h-node, etc. Not only this, but everyone here discuss about freedom, not only about *free* software or *free* technology.

Have you taken a look at antiX? Its goals are similar to those of Puppy: fast, lightweight but fully-functional (JWM is one of the proposed window manager), etc.

Although antix is not 100%-free, it is based on Debian Wheezy and *probably* (I have not checked) is "freer" than Puppy in its default setting. Besides, I believe Debian Wheezy's repositories offer far more free software than Puppy.

EDIT: It apparently is *not* freeer than Puppy in its default setting (firmware-linux-nonfree and flashplugin-nonfree). It may however remain easier to free (you can use jxself's repository for Linux-libre and remove Adobe's Flash plugin in favor of Gnash, which is in Wheezy's repository).

As I hinted in the Forum post I am not completely out and work on other projects which will not consume that much time. Well, here comes the first try :-)

Many GNU/Linux enthusiasts had contact with with the Slackware GNU/Linux distro and appreciate it's clear structure. Slackware follows the Unix and KISS principles very strictly.

Slackware is the oldest surviving and still maintained GNU/Linux distro out there. For experienced GNU/Linux users Slackware is very simple to administrate. That's why many GNU/Linux users prefer the simplicity of Slackware over GUI driven configuration wizards

Unfortunately Slackware does not have a clear policy about what software can be included, and nonfree blobs are included in Linux, the kernel.

There are sevceral fully free distros which are based on popular GNU/Linux Distros, for example Trisquel, which is based on Ubuntu, BLAG is based on RedHat/Fedora and Parabola GNU/Linux is based on Arch. But curiously there is no fully free Slackware equivalent.

For this reason I've created the “slack-n-free” repo. It is not a complete distro. As for now there are builds of the Linux-Libre kernel available, tracking Slackware kernel builds with version numbers corresponding to Slackwares.
