er....................wasn't that 'Little Shop of Horrors'??

If you don't have broadband, and you don't know anyone locally who does, and you're not prepared to download it on dialup, you can order the disk directly from BarryK ( our beloved leader ).

bye for now matey !
See you when you get sorted

Superb stuff. Cheers for that one !

However, it would be a damn fine project to write using tcl though. A quick google came up with this http://www.tcl.tk/software/plugin/ticker.html It's certainly somewhere to start. I don't pretend to know exactly what a news ticker is supposed to actually do - apart from talk away in the corner of ...

It's a bit tricky to learn Linux if your PC won't boot it in the first place. My first though is that the CD isn't burned properly, and subsequently not bootable. If you've set the Bios to boot from CD first and it's going straight into windows then it presumably can't find a bootable image on the C...

Looking at the install files for the Ticker ( the one in the first post ), you need a C compiler installed for it. ( so that rules me out straight away ). Also it won't run on older X versions ( X11R5 or less ), so the version of Puppy that you are running could also be causing the problem. That's a...

it's usually well into the top 30 every time I check. Got in the top 20 on a couple of occasions too. Great stuff.

Hi RedRaven. If it's interaction you're after, just click the Chat link at the top of the screen. Puppy has it's own IRC chatroom where you can get help, advice or copious amounts of sarcasm from the other members of this forum. This can also be accessed using Xchat or Gaim ( instructions in the Wik...

edit the file /etc/profile and comment out the xwin call.
That'll boot into the command line.
( check out the 'How to stop X from starting' in the beginners section. )

FVWM has a little red plug in the tray when connected to the internet ( using GKdial ). Icewm, as GuestToo said, has an activity monitor for online usage in the tray. Depending on which theme you're using though. On the truecurve theme this monitor is almost invisible unless you tweak the colours a ...

not sure with the 2.6 kernel. There's a post about someone with a Latin keyboard who had similar sounding problems to you in ( possibly ) the Bugs Section in the forum. Can you provide a bit more info though. What keyboard language and layout are you using? Does the " work at all - in any appli...

Thanks for the help with this one Guys...................it's humble pie time though. :oops: I inherited this scanner. I was assured that it was fully working. I foolishly took this to be true. Whilst moving things around on my desk, plugging and unplugging things, I moved the scanner and it rattled...

I'd say that Puppy isn't as small as it COULD be, not SHOULD be. True there are duplicate packages that do the same job, but just from reading the forums it's clear that everyone has their own preferences, needs etc. so the variety covers a wider range of end users. There are packages I use every da...

If anyone wants it, here's a desktop icon. EDIT>> can't figure out how to attach the file to the posts, so here's a link to it. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/richard.cargill/Weblink/sticky4.xpm Maybe someone could point me in the right direction about attachments - mainly so I don't look like such a ...

But it's a parallel scanner, not a usb one. etc/sane.d/agfafocus.conf points to /dev/scanner.......which doesn't exist. does the scanner.o module included in puppy only work with usb scanners? This is my thought as it's located in /lib/modules/2.4.29/usb/ On the back of the scanner the label states ...

cheers for the reply Mike, but the problem is a bit more curious than a simple modprobe ( as far as I can tell ) looking through the files here I have the file /lib/modules/2.4.29/usb/scanner.o.gz Modprobe scanner .....then lsmod gives me the following. scanner 10688 0 parport_pc 15108 1 parport 238...

Sane????? not for long.......I'm going mad trying to get this scanner to work Using 1.0.4, downloaded the SANE backends and the Xsane GUI, but I can't seem to get the system to recognise the scanner. using the command line sane-find-scanner I get the useful message " # Most Scanners connected t...
