Mine does not "change" every second. I can't say I ever noticed when exactly it reverts back, but I did know that. I think I assumed every boot. I just made a script. If I see the laptop getting a little too warm....I just start it from a console. I suppose you could put it in /etc/rc.d/r...

After I set up xlock, I just put /usr/sbin/xlock into /.initrc before the exec currentwm line. When I don't want to use it, I just comment it out. I tried this in 3.01 Retro but it did not work. Is there an updated solution for the latest Puppy? (Bruce B's option above does still work.) Thanks! -PHIL

I would guess the same... for example installing the OpenOffice cut-down 3-2.2.0 packages results in a list of missing dependencies so long the OKAY button is pushed off the bottom of the screen. Since everything I need OO to do still works, I don't give it much thought. However, when the day arises...

Ooooh, that sounds neat! Which file/what code if you don't mind?

i went to install flash 9 for firefox on my 2nd computer running puppy full hdd installation and it failed with an error that glibc was older than 2.2 and needed to be upgraded. It worked on my other computer that has a puppy full hdd installation because i had installed the compiler environment......

A second tray worked! Here is my full code from /.jwmrc-tray: <JWM> <Tray autohide="false" insert="right" x="0" y="0" border="0" height="26" > <!-- Additional TaskList attribute: maxwidth --> <TaskList maxwidth="160"/> <Dock/> <!-...

HairyWill: Nicely done! That has however produced another issue to overcome. :? When minimizing an app's window to the "fake tray" there is no way to get it back again. See if you can reproduce. My thought around this is to run 2 trays if possible. A normal one at the top and the fake one ...

This one is for the "experts": how about reducing the usable size of the pinboard(?) so that wbar can always be seen, instead of disappearing behind full-sized windows? This would give it a nice XFCE Panel behavior, allowing buttons to always be accessible without minimizing or closing ope...

@Trapster: What file do you edit to load Conky when using XFCE? I've tried all the usual suspects with no luck. Thanks in advance!

FINAL UPDATE: New (used) Dell Latitude C600 P3 / 256 mb RAM / 20 gig HDD / D-Link DWL-G650 PCMCIA wifi card..... Success! Installed from the NDISWrapper as before and I now have wifi with WPA security to my home router. Automatically loads and connects on boot. Puppy 3.00 Retro. Thanks to all who co...

Excellent! I shall investigate and implement.

I love this utility! In a future version, if you could include a temperature readout for the CPU it would be perfect and allow me to drop wmpower.

Thanks!

Alas, they have older versions listed, but not my exact model. I'll drop the admin an email and hope that he updates the list.

Thanks for the link!

by the way, do you know which chipset it will have? You'll have to help me out - I don't know how to determine the chipset. The PCMCIA card I bought is a D-Link DWL-G650. I have been able to get it loaded and configured using the NDISWrapper option of Connection Wizard and DHCP. Last step will be t...

http://custom.nimblex.net is doing it! I just created an ISO file with options I selected from a step-by-step wizard. I will report back on how well it worked and runs. Cheers! Getting us back on track.... The NimbleX wizard worked like a champ. However, also included about 30 apps that I didn't as...

I tell you what I think would be really slick (and probably a programming nightmare!) is to have an online wizard that spits out an iso file: This has been suggested before as well, so on the surface it seems like a good idea. I seem to remember there was a distro that tried this. It generates a ma...

Roger that!
