quick question

I want to play with the defualt settings in aria2c. I often start aria2c through flashgot, which so far as I can tell does not allow adding command line arguments. this also means I donot keep the url naturally. My real struggle is that if the connection drops so does aria2c, and I have to restart ...

The driver is exactly the same size I figure that is a key indicator, and it didnt work so thats another.

but, I was only guessing how to deal, and put the gspca.KO where the old one used to be.

didnt seem to change anything,
thanks

complicated but possible?

you said it is complicated to get the drivers needed onto puppy 4.2

but I cannot get jaunty to start up. It shows the boot options, but no further. it just hangs, with a flashing underscore.

how complicated is it, I realise I am quite the newbie. but I should like to learn.

a few more thoughts

Hi I have been using puppy 4.2 for about a month now, I really like the feel and the speed. I am not a complete linux newbie, but I feel I don't understand all that much.

Aria2c

wxdfast has issues

I tried this wxdfast, but what I found as I tried to download a new distro (109 M) that it seemed to dowload this whole file into ram before saving it where I had told it to put it. This meant the puppyspace bar was full. Eventually the download finished and it saved it where it was supposed to go ...

This prolog application is awesome.

so mu?

does this mean, using this makes using rpms as simple as using the .pup files?

once you have done that, it is installed?

if so, that's awesome.
