Hi, I would like to know if Firefox 5 runs faster than firefox 4 in Puppy 2.14X. Does anybody has made a benchmark between firefox 3, 4 and 5 in this great Puppy version?. I also read somewhere that Firefox 5 have better memory management than previous releases and corrected the memory hungry requir...

214X-top6.2 has the wireless connect problem I posted with 6.1. Much has to do with several label definitions in /usr/sbin/wag-profiles.sh; some need to be surrounded with escaped quotes . As an example, change line 634 from <label>$L_BUTTON_Scan</label> to <label>"$L_BUTTON_Scan"</label>...

Hi ttuuxxx,

Is there hope to have a new metacity package with composite manager added for the next 214X-Top version?.

Maybe something like the one you posted here for Lucid:
. It looks nice.

Thank you

To answer your question: I've been thinking about how to upgrade the kernel to sfs ver. >=3.1 (proper, 214 has some 3.1rc[1|2]), and also whether it would be feasible to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.18.8. Kernel 2.6.18.1 that was used for 214[-|r|X], 216(1) and 217(1) were patched by BK and all the li...

Hi MHHP, Thanks for sharing your experience. One question: Why didn´t you go right to 2.6.18.8 kernel?. BarryK already patched this kernel with squashfs-3.3. Although the unionfs version he used has some bugs and your squashfs patch is newer, that kernel version is very stable. Long time ago I used ...

In XP-Pro, if you turn on non-simple file sharing, then "username=guest, password=guest" will also fail. That's because Windows tries to login to the guest account using the incorrect password "guest" and fails. However, "username=guest,guest" will work because that di...

Re: USER_PASS mount option

In Wary, "mount-FULL -t cifs" does not recognize the "-o guest" option. However, "mount.cifs" does. Thanks, rcrsn51 for the information. But I guess "username=guest,guest" is more safe. Are you aware that the Rescan and Refresh buttons no longer work like the...

Many thanks WarMocK, It´s a promising application. :shock: First impressions: Nice look and feel (I liked the fake transparency effect, icons selection and theme). The drop-down Menu works fine, but the fixed size is uncomfortable (I think it shouldn´t be encapsulated in a Window). The configuration...
