What would the syntax look like if I need to suply username&password?

solved!
e-mails are stored in a profile map, under the hidden~\.thunderbird directory.
(click on the eye in ROX-filer to see it)
-> made a backup, uninstalled TB, reboot en installed TB again
Turns out profile & mail was still there, so no need to copy them back.
Pfew

For no apperent reason, Thunderbird 3.0.4 lucid suddenly stopped working. <sigh> It's the default email program. Clicking the email icon doesn't do anything, nor does anything in the dir /usr/lib/thunderbird/ Nothing: not even an error-message. No extentions / themes installed; ./thunderbird -safe-m...

same language :wink: swiss is qwerty alright, but @ isn't at the "Q"button and the U / O / A -umlaut buttons aren't there. There's no austrian layout in lupu. I'm as puzzled as you are, google only shows qwertz german keyboards but under ubuntu (10.04) I can select german qwerty and things...

I'd like to install Lupu525 on an Acer laptop.
It's a TravelMate 4070 with a german keyboard, but it's qwerty not qwertz.
What layout should I use? (there seems to be an awfull lot of combinations with keyboard models, layouts and layout variants.
Thanks!

original it's with a: - (hyphen/minus?) but I've copied the file so now there's also a lupu_501.sfs (underscore) file... no difference there.

I'll try grub4dos then... which version is tiny yet properly working?

I expect rcrsn51 (wakepups author and maintainer?) will pick up on this No I'm not. However, since you copied the files with DOS, you need to be very careful with the names.

new project...new problems... hardware: cheap PIII laptop with deceased CD-drive and lousy (read: no) USB bios-options. So I manually transfered Lupu files initrd.gz / atahd / vmlinuz & lupu-501.sfs to it's HD (using FreeDos, laplink and a paralell cable). They are all in C:\ together with the I...

From client-puppy I can ping server-puppy.
Entering the same IP adres in the pcurlftp file-sharing setup results in a connection-icon and an "can not connect to server" error.
I tried HFS under wine, yes. (should work it website claims).

hi, in order to share (music) files on my home network I'm trying to setup pcurlftp. This should be a breeze, so I am kind of lost as where to start tinkering now that is not working. It's running on two puppies. Both are behind a wireless router and have internet acces. One is the server and the ~/...

Thanks,
got it working on the second try!
My initrd lacks the .gz extension but otherwise: excellent!

I've ran into trouble with grub again. Don't remember how it all started but Linux doesn't boot anymore. After installing winXP I ran puppy's grub-wizard but all I get is a kernel panic. And sorry to say: I've been mucking about with grub soo much, the original, working menu.lst is gone. The windows...

I added the lines I found in xorg.conf.dev to xorg.conf & replaced 16 with 24... problem solved

(somewhat strange, selecting 16bit color depth in the wizard provided a clear screen, too)

Thanks a lot!

If I do that, xorgwizard runs every boot, again.

And leave my personal files / setting intact?

Shall I copy them back into xorg.conf? Did so... this skips the wizard, but gives a very very dark display. Well, at least it is a step forward, I guess. <edit> Not really...

I'm using a frugall install. All the way below is my xorg.conf file. I tried removing the # from the final line, but still I get the wizard at the next boot. # Puppy replaces the # after that.

Since an unclean exit, (lucid) Puppy can't seem to remember my videocard.
The XorgWizard shows up every boot.
Is there some file where I can config it manually?
thanks,

OK, I installed xev. It only gives: permission denied .Xmodmap had to be created and I entered lines like: keycode 178 = XF86HomePage and this works!! Search button ditto! Well sort of.
