To my amazement Knoppix 5.1.1 fails to detect the mouse on the ASUS PC and the recommended boot parameter to resolve this makes no difference.
Please keep this great detection for old hardware working.
The BB demo (has good sound too) is just amazing. The story was that it was created to display graphics on a bunch of hercules monitors in Eastern Europe - that can only display ascii . . .One was the BB demo, or whatever it was called
Knoppix was the pro-genitor of LiveCDs, long considered the standard for hardware detection.Linux competes with itself. It innovates. Linux creates
All could be taken as a bad night of frustrations until:~ Buttons and tabs and crap everywhere
~ Prefer games
~ Blame Konqueror for being stupid and KDE for being a pain.
~ After fiddling for fifteen minutes, I gave up and called the distro garbage.
~ That right-click thing was infuriating, so I gave up
~ I know more about setting it (sound) up than the average person
Were comments mere impulsive dog droppings - Dholes of the present pack ?I didn't realize how much more complicated other Linux's could be
no wonder people think it's hard
....... From the outre side of the shore: Will you walk a little faster please ?Sorry for the rant, but
So what is Gnu ~ or matters if any is sumwhat addicted to KDE & Konquering all."I ran Knoppix for the first time last night"
I blame it on end-of-year stress. Final exams and all, and several days before I had forgotten to take an online health test. That one wasn't a final, just a normal exam, but missing it will probably drop my health grade from an A to a C. Which means my hopes of getting an overall 3.9 average for my freshman year are shattered. Now the best I can hope for is a 3.75. But it doesn't mean anything long term. In a year it will be another drop in the barrel. It just gave me a sore pride and a sore knuckle (wooden bed frames are hard). But pride and knuckles heal. Besides, last semester I was worried if I'd even pull off a 3.0! I should (and will) be happy.P-G ~ You ARE nomally far more level headed in evaluations & summations, it was highly surprising

In fifteen minutes of promiscuous playtime, somewhat hasty conclusions were presented
it is trivial to create a playlist of audio files in /mnt ... just paste this line in an rxvt console:What is it that I want in an ideal Linux/Puppy media player? The ability - after mounting the drive where my music files are stored - to access my 20GB+ of music files the vast majority of which are in WMA format on an NTFS partition and with a few mouse clicks have a playlist to listen to while I do other stuff
Very clever from post to post. . . the waders who toe dip in waters over head.
