Quirky 018 feedback
Manual frugal install.
Had same ext4 problem as reported by Jim1911
Ndiswrapper wouldn't work (with a Netgear WG111T, been ok before)- reported that the driver had loaded, then nothing...
Tried another USB dongle using rt73usb, (TL-WN321G) and this works, even with WPA-PSK. No need for Pwireless2 either, which is a first for Quirky and most of the 4series.

Q018 Samba shares on LAndisk not working
The Simple Network wizard worked great (on my Acer Aspire 5100)
Unfortunately no joy with either of the lameSMB apps. So installed Barry's patched pnethood-0.65-utf8.pet but Barry this is missing this bit:
So I had to extract it from my 431 install and add it to the pnethood script manually.
Then pnethood finds my lanDisk samba shares but unfortunately when I go to show the the files its all wrong (just one icon with no file name and should be many files all with names)

Alsa driver
Manual frugal install
Alsa picks up motherboardsound chip and runs ok both gnome and pmusic pick up sound.
Does not pick up soundblaster card on pci slot and after configuring, pmusic plays mp3s but gnomeplayer does not.
The soundblaster card is not saved and has to be rerun at every boot.

first time testing it, it found the video card real easy, second time had to do a bunch of test and finally Vesa worked which is good. Usually use it.

Had to fixmenus to get the icons right in the menu
freememmory applet is only showing a 1 screenshot below
Seamonkey is using the newer theme, Below is the theme from 2.0.4 I'm using in 4.3.2 plus the extra settings for a personal bookmarks like the forum, ibiblio, puppy.ca
Just shutdown seamonkey, delete /.mozilla <---hidden folder and install the pet and start seamonkey
This new setup is great, I really like the animated windows decorations and menu button, plus the taskbar/menu icons are much clearer than jwm

when I added the "blue-moon.pet" icon theme and switched icons it set the icons on the desktop and not in the menu, typing fixmenus fixed that, usually it would do that with out the extra fixmenus step.

Thank you C.H.LeeCHLee wrote:bug report:
1. hardinfo can not list the kernel module, it was because missing the lsmod in /sbin.
2. gnome-mplayer can not play the file with space, it was because the defaultmediaplayer and defaultvideoplayer script missing the "" for $@, it should:

Thanks!

Fbpanel bug or feature?
Fbpanel Menu automatically closes every so many seconds when your slowly "cruisin" the menu. I personally find this annoying. This is using pfix=ram. Is there line in a config file I can edit?

resolv.conf cleanup
Just noticed that if I manually clean up the binary crap in resolv.conf file, ipinfo no longer spits xml markup to the screen under DNS tab.
I just wonder if that was choking gtkdialog somehow.
I just wonder if that was choking gtkdialog somehow.
Now that Quirky is using GRUB4DOS, there is an interesting change in philosophy. In previous Puppies, installing GRUB's stage1 code to the MBR was seen as dangerous and there were warnings about doing so.
However, the GRUB4DOS installer only installs to the MBR with no warnings about potential side effects with the other existing operating systems.
In fact, the safest way to install GRUB, onto the partition boot sector, does not appear to be supported in GRUB4DOS.
