Hi Keef, nice find.

I downloaded INX-1.1.iso and checked the checksum. Burned to CD-RW.

The iso boots fine to display the initial splash screen, when I hit enter, it starts to boot from CD and then just sits there. Once every 30 sec. the CD seems to be accessed but the screen never changes.

There ...

Tried PPLOG and it throws the "403 FORBIDDEN" error.

In /root/httpd entered:
# chgrp -R nobody hiawatha

but I still get the same error.

what did I miss ?

Cheers,
Richard.

Hi muggins,
Is there a .pet for this ?

Edit.
Oops,
I looked again and there it was ...
I'll be getting new glasses soon

Richard.

@thoase

But, where is my "startup" folder?

Try
/root/Startup

Hope that helps.
Richard

Hey ttuuxxx,
You done good !!!
Your .pet work just fine, importing qfx files.

Thanks,
Richard

Puppy 4.2 looks nice 8)
You guys did a terrific job !

I am very happy to see that you updated HomeBank to 4.0.2.

I am having a problem importing .qfx (Quicken) type files, it spits out an error: "OFX support disabled"

I know this works in Fedora, is there something I can do to enable it ?
Or is ...

@growler
Thanks for your quick reply ; I'll look at it tonight.

I thought I would just make it a PET - its uninstallable then on a full hard-drive install

Sound good to me.

Cheers,
Richard.

[snip]In preparation for 4.2 I thought I would configure a squash file to work with hiawatha web-server[/snip]

Has anyone any idea on how I can get the new files over the top of the old config files in pup_4xx.sfs?

Why not prepare your .sfs as before, minus the conf files. Plus a .pet ...

Those are non-standard drivers that I compiled specially for the Eee.
Wait for the final release of 4.1 and I will compile them again.

And I don't think Barry usually includes third-party modules in alpha releases, anyway. Alpha testers should not be attempting to use such ...

Hi,
This looks like a really interesting version, and am looking forward to testing all the new features.
The first time i've experienced this problem is in 404:
My ethernet driver: atl2 can not be loaded and seems no where on the distro. Same for my wifi driver: ath_pci.
Doing the >Load module ...

Hey, MU
I am sooooo impressed,
You handled that interview like a real Embassador for Puppy and Muppy. You artiiculate so calmly and lucidly; very professional. I'm glad you're on this team !!!

Cheers,
Richard.

Nathan,
I am looking at what you did in the wallpaper setter to orient myself to your way of doing things. Also I'll look at Zigbert's pburn.

Cheers,
Richard

Nathan,
I'd like to look at some scripts in which you implemented localization. Where are they to be found?
Do I need any special privileges to just check a couple of them out and see how you went about it?
I think I could help separating out the text strings and replace them with
variables.
Do ...

@Leachim,
Some developers seem to use "xdelta" to expedite updating their .isos from one release level to the next. I wonder if the same tool couldn't be used to serve your needs.

Cheers,
Richard.

Great news,

Today I boosted the Simplux boot process.
I rewrote all remaining inititalization scripts.

Are these incremental improvements available for download somewhere?

Cheers,
Richard

@Grayson Another curious thing is every other time I scan in pupeee the Wizard reports "No Networks Found".
Is your blue light on before you scan ? If not, touch Fn + F2 to activate your wireless transmitter.
Sounds like your wireless is disabled until you scan, at which time the wizard seems to ...

I decided to push the development of Simplicity - integrating a Gdk-interface for easy GUI-programming.

This will not delay overall development of Simplux - Simplicity is a core part of Simplux!

I am intrigued, is there a more up to date manual available for Simplicity?
Even if ...

@tqwe,
To move a window or dialog box (if you can't see the top) simply hold the Alt key while clicking anywhere in the window, and drag it (holding left mouse button) until you can see the area you want.
HTH,

@dvw86,
Okay here is a bit more of a technical question. If I rename the iso, should I also call the main sfs file something else as well?
FWIW I would say no.

1. the sfs file is inside the iso
2. we don't want to make it an administration headache.

The idea was, when you download an iso all ...
