You only did by quoting an acronym I am not familiar with.

So, I have upset you then? Does all talk of World politics upset you? Or is it just the type that involves the US.

I think, in actual fact, that you have proved my point. Thanks.

Who and what decides political correctness here? Beats me....my error for even participating in this thread....I should have known better...it has nothing to do with Puppy, doesn't help anyone understand Puppy or computers...so it really is Off-Topic. Sorry I got sucked into the obligatory bashing,...

That sort of thing is actually compiled into the kernel (or it can be). You may need some modules compiled against the kernel that are specific to Acer, which is another way of doing it. I spotted them when I was compiling a kernel a while ago, but left them out since I couldn't see the need. They w...

Since Seamonkey 2.x uses the same engine as Firefox 3.x there should be few issues with porting over any plugins. To be honest, I have been using Seamonkey 2.0 for a while now, and I have yet to find any reason to roll back to the old 1.x variety. Even with the reported stability issues (which I am ...

That's what I think anyway. Political correctness be damned. Your very detailed post simply points out that there are certain responses that are not forum-politically correct and elicit F-P-C responses such as yours. Thom Who and what decides political correctness here? What is "F-P-C"?

Changing the User Agent is the key: anything relating to Microsoft will need this to be done. I have this link for making Seamonkey behave. It also works if you are using a beta version of any Mozilla browser, since these put the beta codename instead of the proper User Agent in the settings. To be ...

We're not all like that. But some, oh yeah. It may not be forum-politic to say that.... Thom Why not? Even the pulp dramas on television that come from the US have vaguely apologetic and self deprecating storylines regarding what one could view as overly aggressive nationalistic tendencies. It's li...

I packaged Ghostscript 8.70 for Puppy http://puppylover.netsons.org/dokupuppy/programs:ghostscript direct link It seems work fine, only, at end of installation, it shows a warning about a single dependency missing: libgio-2.0.so.0 but it seems work fine do you think gs may work also without libgio-...

sikpuppy did you have a look at the configure script? some times you can edit them and reduce the version number before compiling. ttuuxxx Yeah, but I already had the new QT, and in any case I tried to run it without using the new QT and a lot of QT libraries are missing in Puppy 4.3.1. I then copi...

Looks great 8) Photo tip for dark pics drag into mtpaint go to effects / change colour and up the gamma (reset if you go to far) I also did a quick 'sharpen' also in effects Is this more what you experience - rather than what the camera portrays? :) Erm. I hope not, the original looked better :P Lo...

Erm what is that coming out of his mouth? Puppies don't smoke pipes.

It is full install. What you suggest is not right. Since there is a button in that menu that asks you to point to .sfs files to load at boot, it should be able to find these files. Moreover, it should allow you to navigate to these files, or at least give a directory or something. That application ...

Full install? Frugal install? Just a puppy savefile? If it's a full install then it won't matter where you put the devx file, it simply won't be picked up. I suggest just booting the live image in the VirtualBox environment, choosing to boot to Ram and rebooting, saving as a 512Mb savefile. Then cho...

It's installed, but have found a problem already for them.

I still need help please with where I can find a list of the versions of libraries for the release (4.3.1).

thanks

Install into /usr not /usr/local

And the whole thing eats up how many watts? They are LEDs, so probably about the same as one 60W incandescent globe. If each was 100mW, which is reasonable, then perhaps 60 globes would be needed to eat up 60W. A fridge on standby uses that much, and that's just sitting there waiting for the food t...

Here's the latest version of Musicscore. I haven't done much except play the demo tune, which worked, perhaps the rest needs someone more familiar with the actual program to fiddle with. I would especially like to know if any features are missing since I tried in this instance to make the packages a...

I've been waiting for some time hoping this would be updated since MuseScore is one of these apps which really needs to be kept up to date on Puppy. I'm needing functions (such as ABC files inport, and also play the created tune) which only became available in version 0.9.5. :-) I did and I have. T...

The point lie in the rest of the post about a particular innovation,

Huh? Come again? Rife?

Perhaps I should stop using it then if it has so many problems.

Internet as a "right"? Perhaps it would be better to clearly define how any other "rights" are handled. Like free speech, freedom of personal beliefs, freedom of passage, freedom to wear silly hats. None of which are a given, as I see it, in this current day and age. Although I w...
