I don't really get it... It must be somewhere in ROX's options, but i don't seem to find it. It's not in JWM because i already checked there. So, basically, in every window managed by ROX (except the desktop that i fixed), the font used is Sans 12 instead of DejaVu Sans 12. Where can i change the fo...

Thanks for the info Bruce B ! ;)

I just checked youtube and it seems that the GTK+ update fixed the flash player in Opera too. :D

Thanks for all your help and keep this great little distro updated!

Thanks for that, fonts are okay now. ;) As for libsdl, i installed it but still mplayer doesn't work with sound output set to sdl. It must be something about my hardware, well, guess i'll just live with it as i'll be getting that lappy on the 12th of September. :D Now all that remains to be fixed is...

Summer could've been better but it was nice. ;) Well, last three paragraphs were the questions. :P About themes, sdl library and flash in Opera. Anyway, never mind the theme and menu issues, as those got fixed by updating GTK+ to the latest version. But that messed up my desktop fonts, they are thin...

Back to Puppy and have more questions!

Hey people, i'm back. :D First of all i wanted to thank you for the great 2.17 release, it runs incredibly well on a full install. 8) I'll get a 1.2GHz lappy with 256MB RAM (plan to put in 512MB) soon, and be sure Puppy will be my distro of choice. I can't wait to see what it can do on a decently-sp...

I've gotten it to run as well.

Google rocks! I just found this in the Ubuntu forums:

Type this in a terminal and voila, DOSEmu doesn't crash anymore and i face a beautiful C:> prompt. :D Now let's see how games will run on my crap machine. :P

Yeah, do a HDD install. A little more RAM won't do any harm as well, i run 2.16 just fine on a Pentium-MMX 200MHz oc'ed to 250MHz and 96 megs of EDO RAM.

If it takes that long, i suspect the CD drive may have an issue as well, but again, a HDD install will fix all of those. ;)

I'm talking about this version. ;)

As for the DotPups, you uninstall them from the PETget package manager, you will see them listed there. If you want to remove all configs/settings as well, then delete the corresponding directory in /usr/local after uninstalling.

The latest version of MPlayer (1.0rc2) does NOT work on CPUs without SSE, as it has not been compiled with CPU auto-detection. Try 1.0.8, that should work. ;)

If MPlayer was working well initially, I think the simple solution would be to re-install Puppy from scratch. I don't want to do that. Anyway, once i tried using the zoom option, MPlayer works just fine. ;) "1.0.8" is a naming error. It's actually 1.0pre8. The latest version of MPlayer is...
