Playdayz, I'm still trying our your 3 April Sanity Check version -- you are quick! One thing I have noticed is that stay-connected.sh does not appear to have executable permission in the /root/startup/ directory. Doesn't this need to be executable to function correctly? If so, it's easy enough for a...

Thanks for the information! I've often needed a way to add a signature to a PDF without the added hardware of a printer or scanner, hence my interest in this feature. Guess I'll have to wait for an updated SFS (sfs3?) from somebody that works with the 4-series pups (Fluppy 13 or the just released Le...

It's also the best pdf editor you'll find
Can someone explain how to edit PDFs with LibreOffice? I was not aware that was possible.

Downloaded Beta5 and played with it for a bit. You know that Deadbeef won't play a large MP3 audio file, right? It maxxes out my CPU with silence until it reverts to the 'Stop' mode. No matter, Pmusic does play my mp3 audio book, so you've got the bases covered. Is Deadbeef there pretty much for wav...

John, May I please add my voice to those who desire a Frisbee wireless connect option? I very frequently find myself running your LegacyOS2 as a live CD because of your magic scripts and plinej's ripping tools, but cannot run Legacy full time because of no connectivity to the outside world. (My sole...

Thanks, Dewbie. The updated Wakepup will not help my situation because it is putting more options in that need a keyboard to answer before booting -- I need zero options that require a keyboard before booting the USB.... However, you brought up an interesting thought -- putting Grub4DOS straight ont...

I don't know if Wakepup is still actively supported or not, but I am hitting the USB keyboard wall when attempting to use Wakepup. To compound matters, I know absolutely zero about DOS or any other coding. My Pentium 4 machine boots from my (fd0) Wakepup floppy (created via John Biles' Legacy OS2), ...

zigbert, I tried creating and burning an .iso via Pdvdrsab in Slacko-5.3.0.1-MAIN, Wary 5.2.2, and Lupu-528.003 -- with no luck. I think I had a bad disc (maybe!)

Pburn 3.4.1

Just loaded a live CD of lupu-528.002 and tried Pburn again... Pburn created an .iso from an .avi and burned to DVD without any errors. What do Three-headed Dog and Slacko have in common? The kernel? Googled the previous error 'PERFORM OPC failed with SK=0h/ASC=00h/ACQ=02h' and came up with this: ht...
