Puppy linux supports deb and Ubuntu and Puppy are both 'linux' so, maybe gcc from ubuntu works in puppy linux too. Using pupy linux package manager to install gcc would cost me more Internet Data (which i have limited). Used to shop for, download, install, update, uninstall and back up video games. Works on Windows NT, OS X and Linux. Zero Install (0install): Cross- platform packaging and distributions software. It is available for Arch Linux, Debian, Knoppix, Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo, Open. SUSE, Red Hat and Slackware. Part of OS X 1. Notice that I said PPM primarily uses PET packages. Puppy Package Manager also supports the following packages - *.deb (Debian),.tgz (Slackware),.pkg.tar.gz (Arch), and DotPet. Puppy Package Manager can also access Ubuntu repositories. NOTE: A repository (repo) is a collection of software packages on a server. Dog is a small Debian Live CD designed to look and function like Puppy Linux, but its Debian structure and behavior are not modified. It has access to all Debian (. Deb) repositories using apt- get commands in a terminal window or the Synaptic Package Manager from the menu. Install Deb Package Puppy Linux. Used to shop for, download, install and update video games. Works on Android, as well as Play. Station 3, Play.

I have ISO of Puppy Linux and just now I have downloaded ISO for Ubuntu.

Puppy Linux does not have gcc installed . But I know Ubuntu 14 has gcc and many other softwares installed. So Can I import those packages(like gcc, etc) from ISO file of Ubuntu and install it in puppy Linux or vice versa ??

I have slow internet connection and its pain to download all those packages again. I have many programmes installed in Puppy Linux too . So I don't want to leave Puppy Linux and redownload programmes again in Ubuntu. If its possible to migrate from Ubuntu to Puppy or Puppy to Ubuntu offline, please

P.S. I copied whole / of puppy Linux to Ubuntu's / thinking that it would work. Before restarting it worked, but after I rebooted Ubuntu, it stopped loading :p ..

I know Ubuntu 14 has gcc and many other softwares installed.

Actually I would guess the live CD/install .iso does not include gcc, but it might. That image is just intended to get you a minimal desktop system. Anything you want after that needs to be installed via network.

[In fact, as the OP observes in a comment, there is a way to rip packages from the live CD by using dpkg-repack.]

If you downloaded all the packages available for Ubuntu 14, they might fill a dozen or more DVDs. Not one CD. So...

its pain to download all those packages again.

If it was not installed, then they were not part of the .iso, so you did not download them in the first place.

Puppy Linux does not have gcc installed

But presumably Puppy has its own package manager and you can install gcc that way. You probably cannot use the one from Ubuntu, and vice versa.

I copied whole / of puppy Linux to Ubuntu's / thinking that it would work.

That was a very bad idea. You might as well start from scratch with that partition now, it will be thoroughly wrecked.

Hi gang.
Meanwhile, musher0 left the grounds where the controversy was flaming to do
some useful research...
Here: https://www.thefanclub.co.za/overgrive/installation-instructions-ubuntu
we read, under 'Requirements':

Quote:

Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit / 64bit) or later installed. The software should work on most Debian based systems if they support Gtk3.

(Bold, etc., by me.)
Ladies and gentlemen,
'Voilà pourquoi votre fille est muette' (famous sentence by Molière) !
Transl.: 'That is why your daughter is a mute.' Ok. Not funny. Anyway...
Puppy at this time has only partial support for GTK3, namely for gnumeric. Or in a
few cases 'compiled in our kennels' , the dev has compiled the needed GTK3
components along with the app.
Also, as dancytron has mentioned, Puppy has only partial support for python. I tried
the overgrive on my machine and a message said that python2 was missing.
Puppy has:

[/usr/lib]>lg -d pyth* drwxr-xr-x 37 2048 nov 5 22:20 python2.7/ drwxr-xr-x 32 3648 oct 20 19:47 python3.5/

but not the true python 2, it seems.
Sorry wert, you're out of luck. Any other app can do what overgrive does? Maybe
a GTK2 one, based on perl?
IHTH
