DebianDog is a small Debian Live CD shaped to look like Puppy and act like Puppy. Debian structure and Debian behaviour are untouched and Debian documentation is 100% valid for DebianDog. You have access to all Debian repositories using apt-get or synaptic.
It is not Puppy linux and it has nothing to do with Puppy based on Debian. Downloading DebianDog be ready to learn different package manager and different system setup in Debian manner.
Boot method - Utilities thread - HowTo thread.
DebianDog is set to autologin as root. If you like to use it as multiuser system it is recommended to start XDM login manager. Just type in terminal xdm-start and reboot. xdm-stop will reverse back autologin as root.
Login details:
root with password root
puppy with password puppy
Download DebianDog-Squeeze-hybrid-30.04.2016.iso - 147 Mb.
Kernel 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-486 (for older PC).
Default WM - JWM with option to switch to IceWM.
Default File Manager - XFE with option to use Rox.
Default Internet Browser - Dillo.
To test DebianDog for first time you need to burn it on CD and boot from it, or use DebianDog-installer click here to download and extract the archive - working from most linux systems to make frugal install to HDD or USB, or to extract /live folder on top of a partition or USB and edit grub menu.lst.
The iso is hybrid and you can make bootable usb using dd command. This option is for users with more experience and makes the usb partition with DebianDog files read-only without option to replace the included boot menu with custom menu entry.
Hybrid-iso to usb example using /dev/sdb flash drive posted here.
It is recommended to use DebianDog-installer working on most linux systems - attached here.
To keep the size small as possible all /usr/share/locale files for the included packages are moved in separate squashfs module 03-squeeze-locale.squashfs available for download from sfs-get or from here.
In case you like to change the localization install locales and load the module or place it inside /live/image/live to be loaded at boot time.
You can also install localepurge and copy only the language files you need from the squashfs module in /usr/share/locale directory to save space in the future.
Included menu-openbox from Fred with localisation support (the default menu displays categories and menu entries only in English). In case you like to change the localisation type menu-openbox in terminal or start it from System -> Menu Openbox.
More information about changing localization read here, here and here.
DebianDog has tools similar to Puppy. You can create easy separate squashfs modules and remaster the system with all personal changes.
You can even use/convert pet packages and sfs files from Puppy but it is not recommended if you like to keep well working apt-get/Synaptic package manager (which is the main advantage using DebianDog).
