Thanks for the offer of help, I have traced the problem to a problem on my e2fs partition. I couldnt delete some files and directories. Xorg was using the old xorg.conf and so load a matrox driver. Solution, start again. Where would be the best place to umount dev/hda4 in the shutdown process ...

You must already have an older version of X.org installed (for example Puppy 1.0.7 beta). Realy basic question, how ? I have a "3D Rage Pro 215GP" video card which works find with 1.0.7 but not at all with 1.09ce, I get buffer underflow um 3 times something else and then back to the prompt. I tried ...

I'm all in favour of a multiuser puppy, one of the few things I dont like about puppy is running as root.

I would suspect that the new cd drive is set as slave rather than master or that it is on a different connector on the cable. Linux names hardware according to where it is connected unlike windows which uses the next available name.

Would read errors not indicate that the disk isnt being burnt correctly ? ie nero says I burnt this but what is read back is different. I would try writing at a slower speed.

Does it realy matter ? Its a nice picture, not using it wont change anything.

Here http://forum.puppylinux.net/viewtopic.php?p=494#494 Nathan F said: I've just finished uploading the final beta iso to http://grafpup.com/puppydev/puppy-109beta2.iso. As always this is a temporary mirror and I will remove the file within a day or so, so anyone capable of mirroring long term ...

Hmm not sure what you have wrong I havent had a problem at all. Ah maybe you are not finalising them, that would upset windows. Graveman Data CD Settings Format CD_rom Mode 1 (default) Long filename support Use Rock Ridge extentions... I guess tick this Use Joliet extentions... tick this Do not ...

A large portion of the Linux community just plain scoffs at anything Puppy related because they are under the impression that running as root will automatically frag everything. It's a worry to me as well. Some of the windows uses I have tried to get using puppy also dont like the non xp-ish-ness ...

Very good Nice to see "company" with a sense of humor

I used to use dos for email icq and browsing um 4 years ago if you have a look here http://bonzo.orcon.net.nz/dloads/ you will find an assortment of tcp/ip bits and pieces. Ptsdos could be worth a look its a Russian dos with built in net working, can't remember itf it was ipx tcp/ip or both.

Have a look at this http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.p ... e1407407a0 does the printer show up in LinNieghborhood ? if it does then I think that my modified code will work

How about including this or a variant of it as samba-1.0 in /.etc/pdq/interfaces then we can use samba connected printers. interface samba { help = "Use this interface if your printer is connected to a Samba server" required_args "WHICH_PRINTER" argument { var = "WHICH_PRINTER" desc = "Which printer ...

I havent tried this with a windows printer but it does work connected to a linux fire wall ( Freesco ) running samba. Copy this next bit and save as samba-1.0 in /.etc/pdq/interfaces run the printer setup wizard and select samba in xpdq. interface samba { help = "Use this interface if your printer ...

For me 1.0.8 should be a full bug fix, nothing new just fix the bugs. This idea that a service pack should be released a couple of days after the main .iso is absurd, fix the bugs then release the version. If a bug is found fix it and release a minor version. Pkzip was like this I think 204g was the ...

Didn't some one say, its easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a camel to. Something like that anyway. My guess is that Bill hasn't heard this and is preping himself for heaven, doing good deads so he looks good. I still think he's a bastard. Giving away a few ...

It shows a general slackness and poor breeding.

Puppy 0.98 runs fine and 102 does as well except that I have a x for a cursor rather than an arrow.
