I am about to buy new internal HDD with 4TB capacity as second drive (e. g. I do not need to boot from that drive). I want such capacity because I will use it mainly for storing (and processing with Avidemux) DV-AVI files from (traditional) DV camcorder and for backup my files from primary drive. I ...

Can somebody create Avidemux 2.6.1 as SFS? I need this version because of its support for .TS files.

Thank you very much in advance.

1. You did not specify URL for minuscule utility. I have tried to find it, but the word "minuscule" is quite general and I have got many other. non relevant links for the keyword. If the Minuscule utility really create binary compatible PostgreSQL files, I doubt that can be use in any othe...

(English is not my native language. I hope explanation of the problem will be clear enough). Background information: I have a lot of recordings from satellite TV. They are all in TS (Transport stream) container and the format is: (a) video in MPEG2 in standard resolution (PAL 720x576) (b) video in M...

Before I have wrote my reply, rcrsn51 already created his advice. As he is expert for Gnost, you probably have solution now. I think Gnost is very good, capable (and also small) solution. But because you have found some disadvantages in using Linux based solutions as Clonezilla, Partimage etc., let ...

Yes, you are right. I did not realize that it is more question of file system rather then operating system. I have Ext2 on sda1 (with frugal install of Puppy and Quirky) and FAT32 on sda2 (for compatibility reason). And I have made first tests on sda2 (which is my DATA disk - I keep save file as sma...

I am about to write some academic paper. For this article I need to download and process quite a lot of HTML files. I am still not very advanced Linux user and I did not have experience with CLI tools like wget, grep, sed etc. I already solved some problems (described futher) myself, but other are b...

I already solved the problem. Experienced users of wget probably know about it. But it is a little bit tricky, therefore it can be useful for user with limited knowledge of wget and other CLI tools (like me). Problem: I need to download quite a lot of files with the same base URL, but different quer...

This weekend I wiil be away, therefore only short message.
Thanks to all for help.
It seem that's everything is solved.
When I will be back, I will reedit this post, retest the script and then mark the whole topic as SOLVED.

Once more thanks to all.

Thank you very much, technosauras and amigo for you quick response and help. Sorry for not saying "thanks" for so long time. I tried your script soon after your post, but then I was so busy both at work and at home. I further modified your script and have learned few other thinks. I will p...

Thank amigo, your script works fine. It is quite simple. I have thought it would be much complicated. I do not know all the details of proper syntax (like where need to be semicolon, "do" keyword etc.) but the main idea of the script is now quite understandable even for me, with absolutly ...

After quite long time of searching for different programs for the task, I have found that jpegtran is the perfect tool for my purpose, because it can do loseless JPEG rotate (and crop/other transformations, too -- but rotate is my primary concern). Besides, it is "built-in" in Puppy (or Qu...

When the problem occurs?: If you are using some web applications that utilize Remote XUL (XUL through HTTP) , you may experience some problems (from minor to severe, depending on particular application) after upgrade do Firefox 4.0.x. Some examples are: Domino Web Access for Lotus Notes, some webma...

I have downloaded and installed DosEmu (using universal binary from dosemu.org) that is just unTAR two provided bin.tgz files. It seems that DosEmu start properly, but cannot find command.com . I get completely confused, what is proper syntax and path to specify for it (on enclosed picture there are...

Running command your suggested from virtual terminal helps. /etc/rc.d/rc.network restart It is seems then also invoking the command without restart , that is just /etc/rc.d/rc.network does the same. I tried both. The output of the command is (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is IP adress): Waiting for interfaces to ...

How to manually force Puppy/Quirky recheck Internet connection few minutes after boot? I have Puppy 4.x and Quirky frugal install. My Internet connection is Wi-Fi but just to the roof of block of flats. Then there is a router and plain CAT 5 cable going directly do RJ45 connector in my computer. The...

I am quite confused from previous posts Does it mean that is it not possible to boot all Linux distributions (and other OSes) directly from Grub Legacy (no Grub 2) ??? Currently I have frugall installation of Puppy 4, Quirky and Lupu via Grub Legacy on first partion (sda1). I certainly want to keep ...

Personally, I started with Puppy 4.1.2 (in January or February 2009). It was the latest version available at that time). It is my first Linux experience (not counting some short exposure long time ago) and I am using Puppy and Quirky (at home) all the time (no Windows at all). At work I have to use ...

Yes, I know that Barry Kauler lives in other part of Australia,
but I wish to express deepist regrets to Brisbaine, Queensland
and to all Australians.

I also hope that all other developers of Puppy and Quirky are safe, too.
And wish to all Australians who have suffered soon recovery.

Mysp.
