2013.02.04 Lighthouse64
5.15 Final
was released last
Oct
30th. I suffered a relapse shortly thereafter, similar to last winter,
but not as severe. I'm doing a little better now and am working toward
a
new release of LH64 with significant core updates, (kernel, glibc,
Xorg, etc.) as well as updated Xfce and KDE add-on packs.
2012.08.03 Development of Lighthouse64 has
resumed, albeit at a slower pace than before. The web site has been
transferred
to another web host and a new mirror site is under construction. A few
updated Pet packages for L64 5.14 via the Update package
manager are planned.
2012.05.18 Lighthouse development is currently
on hold due to ongoing illness. In addition, the webhost plan requires
that non-essential and older/beta ISOs and SFS files be removed from
the web site to minimize disk usage. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Thank you for your support during this difficult time.

Pup 5.02 G Released PuppyLinux
derivatives forum
- PupControl, a full-featured
control panel specifically designed for Puppy-based derivatives like
Lighthouse
- SFS
'copy2ram' at first or any boot,
with a brief prompt for full SFS selection and configuration early in
the boot process, prior to mounting the layered file system.
- If sufficient free RAM
is detected,
all core files and SFS add-ons can be copied to RAM. This means the Mariner
ISO is now a true LiveCD with the add-ons Mariner & LibreOffice SFS running in RAM at
first boot.
- Available free RAM is
recalculated
after each copy2ram. If RAM is low,
only SFS files that will safely fit in RAM will be copied and the rest
will mount in place. This way all selected add-ons will be loaded,
making maximum use of available RAM.
