Dang, hope they can't remotely erase my boot DVD's ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Also It using a windows exploit to prep an executable script to drop into /tmp/cups for multiple OSes not just linux. It patches a xml sniffer on Windows to grab remote desktop running in Windows logging into a remote machine as the root user.
If you use that method for running puppylinux then STOP!
Otherwise nice FUD attempt.
Has ZERO to do with seamonkey running as root.

Re:spot
Fatdog64 loads the browser with user spot - one disadvantage of this is that your browser could not see files outside the folders owned by spot (obviously, but I always forget 'coz I've grown up using root in Puppy).darkcity wrote:I thought browsers ran as Spot on Puppy?

What about the save files?
Hi,
What would happen if you have save files to a frugal install?
would there be a possible recovery?
At the very least, i save on different mount points.

I left the house, DVD was ejected, then I returned home the dvd was IN and computer rebooted.p310don wrote:if they manage to do that, they might get through the interwebs, take your ejected DVD and put it in the microwave - make for sparkly fun

So IF they can cut power that would reboot computer and the hardware automatically pulls the disc back in.... Sneaky NK hackers.
