show current location in the terminal- how?

Some months ago I found a little hint in a tricks and tips post that allowed your location to be shown in the terminal. ie instead of # you got /usr/blah/blah or ~/etc/blah/blah. It was a simple trick, just a very small change to a file somewhere but I have just had to reinstall from scratch and can...

Puppy linux is also very happy and maybe, just maybe, you should ask yourself whether walking around with your head buried in the darkest depths of your own anus is actually a pleasant browsin(sic) experience.

So go here http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/puppy-4.3.1/devx_431.sfs and get it. now put it in /mount/home which should be the same place your pup431 sfs is. Open m...

Hi, sorry I was quite ill for a few days and couldn't / wouldn't get to a computer. I thought that the .blender folder contained the GLIB stuff. I don't have the folder on my system any more as I deleted later the same evening so I can't check. Check to see whats inside the .bender folder and if it ...

Ok, downloaded the file and left clicked. pzip opened and I extracted cleanly. No wrapper failed to exit for me. There is a readme file and it would be quite a good idea to read it! There is also a hidden folder so you will need to click on the icon in the rox toolbar to show hidden files. Pair of b...

I often get the wrapper exited with an error a lot with tar.gz's but they still seem to work. I suspect there is a different file you should be clicking on or even opening from a terminal. Are there any folders called make or install or (even) readme? If there is a readme it is probably worth invest...

There's Tranmission which is a reasonable torrent downloader or ptorrent which is a command line torrent downloader, not so easy. Not sure about about straightforward p2p though. Have you tried google?

And , of course, the next step is to put an entry in the menu. So, go to the folder where you extracted the driver too and rename the icon to xerox.xpm. Now drag it too /usr/share/pixmaps This is easy to do if you open two rox windows (rox = file browser, menu-filesystem-rox, one window shows your d...

Xerox Phaser 6110

Xerox Phaser 6110 installs and works fine in Puppy 431. You will need this gtk+12-1.2.10 and this glib12-1.2.10 available here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=358155 Install these two pets first. Next, download dvex431.sfs from here http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/...
