Linux Mini Guide for Windows Converts & Beginners scribbled by Patriot (the Uber Lamer) The scope of this mini guide is currently very limited. It attempts to give beginners & windows users gain some understanding of Windows-to-Linux differences. Only basic instructions will be provided whe...

Hmmm ..... I am making mini-guides for some charity org members ... they seem to need a push to get them going as most are still on older win9x machines ... I was asked to do this as I'm one of the few who's using linux and they really need to cut down software overheads ... (Fortunately, the board ...

Ok ... I'll go and get a copy. Much appreciated. Must get some shut-eye now ...

Errr ... whoops ... getting a 403 at puptrix ... hmmm ....

Hmmm ..... This post was getting very messy ... I've edited this post to keep it short & simple ... New step-by-step installation procedure : 1. One-click-to-install cups 1.4b2 2. Reboot 3. Start CUPS and add printer, login IS required. Default user: root; password: woofwoof. 4a. LPT printer set...

Hmmm ..... Hey ttuuxxx ! Thanks for the heads up ... I was wondering if 1.4b2 will still give me a headache ... Apparently NOT ! :) I've just grabbed the source and made a quick compile ... Also made a pet package too ... Slightly smaller package here ... I noticed dir2pet made duplicated man-html f...

Hmmm ..... Recently I have the need to test internally made packages on fresh puppys and QEMU enables me to make those tests on different fresh puppy 4.x versions rapidly ... I've read about how xorg does work on QEMU from here : http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=35469 After like the ...

Hmmm ..... Hey there BarryK ! But, what do you mean by "let's move it somewhere"? Do you mean you just deleted the 'cups' folder? :wink: ... err, no ... I moved /var/spool/cups to /tmp/spool/cups ... and set cupsd.conf to point over there ... I couldn't go through the entire cups sources t...

Hmmm ..... Pardon me for my bad ... 8) I took a look at my words again and I have hastily put down the words "the grub boot loader" when I meant was the "the grub boot loader config script" in puppy linux ... a couple of missed words for my bad being an uber lamer .... :) I did p...

Hmmm ..... I have Puppy 4.1.1 and I have copied sfs files on my hard drive, but I need everytime to insert live CD in order to boot my system in Puppy. I found a "Grub installation" menu but I don't know how can I install Grub so that I can boot my puppy system without Puppy CD. I followed...

Hmmm ..... I've been trying to figure out how to get latest CUPS working. I know that the default CUPS 1.1.23 works just fine. But as soon as I upgrade to CUPS 1.3.3, it broke something somewhere. I've also added Samba server 3.0.26 and the stuff won't play nice. Apart from that, paraport modules st...

Hmmm .....

Did some more reading on memory management and more or less understood why memory usage goes up to the brim now ....

Ok, need to do some more midnight oil burning and do some scripting to drop the caches and fine tune the limits ....

Hmmm ..... ..... I compiled the latest 1.3.9 version, but no joy there either. Tried altering permissions - still nothing. ..... I've found out a working solution for my box ... Using cups-1.3.3 here ... For some reasons that I've yet to ascertain, the spool folder requires *FULL* rwx permission at ...

Hmmm ..... Hey there ! I'm currently on Puppy 4.1.1 configured to run Samba 3.0.26 + CUPS-1.3.3 + OpenSSH 5.1p1 + VNCserver ... Everything seems to be working fine after I whack it for a week ... Several changes were made to make it work the way I wanted ... There's some loose ends that I'd like to ...
