You are just downright DANGEROUS, Ed! I thought the thread title read "Marital Arts" and I was looking forward to learning something new!

Thanks, muggins. It works for me in Lucid as well, and although it's link to GIMP produces an error for me it will still export to a 16-bit tif file I can open in GIMP (if only in 8-bit). Much appreciated.

But: The devs and Barry should be asked at least, if they support this idea and would be willing to participate in the manner I suggested in the first group of examples. Would they even be interested? I think it is a fair question, and fair to expect an answer to that from them personally, before p...

I find it exceedingly obnoxious that any attempt to fix something or improve something, or even bring it to attention is labeled as whining. Not every " attempt to fix something or improve something, or even bring it to attention is labelled as whining "; certainly not by me and most of t...

Thanks for your interest, oligin10.

When I was project coordinator for Puppy, first with 2.15CE and later with 4.2x series, there was a cacophony of voices clamoring to be heard on the subject of what Puppy could or should be. In the beginning it was easy to pick out the voices of reason, but in the end there was so much "sound&q...

as far as i'm concerned, whodo has zero cred in regards to his views on puppy and should not be speaking on behalf of BK particularly without a supporting link Oh please. You just don't like what I tell you, regardless of where it came from originally. You want a link? How about a direct quote (aga...

Oh well, it was worth one last try!

I disagree with the "Do-ocracy" analogy. One person can't do it alone. Not when the few people with the ability and power to "let them in" stamp them with the "reject" stamp. Nobody can "do" without appropriate "official" support. You know, that uno...

What I'd like to see (or identify the appropriate version) is one that runs pretty well on 128MB. I booted one machine with 64MB, but it was painful -- marginally functional once up, and a swap file was installed (I actually had more RAM than that to install, but was testing how small for booting)....

wow whodo that's big time stuff you were done awhile ago and don't even know it yet good thing YOU don't officially represent pup Oh how droll. You've been posting here for a mere 6 months less than me; please remind others here: what have YOU actually "done" beside whine since December 2...

well, in the past at least, you were talking very serious biz with that number as in the less the better there were non official variants (and still are i believe) that filled a disk might check out lighthouse What's the matter, jonyo? Discovered that your "hero" has feet of clay and isn'...

Tending to keep on topic more than you in this thread, the future of Puppy depends on moving into the mainsteam. How? Puppy must be expanded to full CD size where it can actually show off and be used right out of the box rather than merely being a tool to build a full system. Add 500MB to Puppy and...

If you cannot develop, be grateful for those who do, for nothing... Appreciate the product, or learn how to make it how you want it... Im not being rude, or mean...just realistic... here's some reality show me the goods and it better be good and that's just to start And who made YOU the arbiter of ...

But if you cant play.....shut up and listen.... i doubt you speak for puppy linux and if you do, get lost Says who? Are you presuming to speak for everyone else who doesn't speak for puppy linux? That would include me, wouldn't it? You don't speak for me! BTW, personally I never did "get lost&...

this strikes me as someone who understands the significance of a user-base http://puppylinuxnews.org/home/p_9/...[snip]... in particular Puppy will be extremely friendly for Linux newbies Puppy will just work, no hassles ... and immediately following your hand-picked quote comes this little gem: Ho...

i don't take those comments to be take it or leave it and they have to be taken in context with what was going on in 2007 i take those comments to mean ~ i'm gonna do my thing Really?

and i would say you have a poor attitude and outlook that came to roost No, I just have an attitude that you and a few other whiners don't personally like!

he doesn't say like it or leave directly as you do Really? Then what do you perceive is the meaning of this? Puppy has never been run as a "proper" project , it has always been ad-hoc. There is no CVS/SVN server, no bug-reporter. For the last couple of years, new puppies have been release...
