By the way just out of curiosity, what makes Q-8.8.1 not booting properly if q.sfs is not inside initrd.q ? It works properly with initrd.q, vmlinuz and q.sfs.

Powerapplet_tray version 2.7 I've made another small change to the battery app so that the icon will update immediately (well, within 15 seconds anyway) when the charging status changes rather than waiting until the battery percantage changes. I compiled it in Quirky Beaver64 8.7.1 and made the pet ...

I've attached my modified version of powerapplet_tray.c (with all the above modifications) in case anyone is interested... Hello rooftop, Thank you very much for the most needed fix for my favorite Quirky Beaver64 8.7.1. I downloaded the source from: http://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/source/alphabet...

What you describe is not possible with the chooser widget. To be more precise: It would be possible to pass a filename to MMview and show the file content in the viewer, but it would not be possible to select the corresponding filename in the file list programmatically (a limitation of the chooser ...

After covering plain text files, audio/video and - at great length - image files there is one category MMview doesn't yet support: the "raw" display of binary files. Starting with this update I'll add some tools which to my knowledge don't exist in Puppy and which will make the forensic a...

I was able to get the deadbeef installed from here, works very well. http://deadbeef.sourceforge.net/download.html Thanks.

I made a manual frugal install from ISO file xerus64-8.4.1.iso to a hard drive.

Sound volume state is not preserved at reboot.

I made a patch that fix the problem.

Hi I booted from an older xersu64 dvd that I had and did the following: I installed to a SDHC card on my Acer Revo which has about 2gb ram, have used the same method to install to flash drives. I downloaded the iso and easydd and put them in a hold directory, opened a terminal in the hold directory...

Maybe not enough RAM.

I made a frugal install of the previous version, Quirky Xerus 8.3, to a couple computers and all have at least 4096 MB RAM.

hello foxpup and Leon thanks for the replies. I tried typing in the install specs as foxpup suggested changeing them to suit my ext4 partition but to no avail the same problem occurs. I then tried the various menu options by Leon and still no joy - it just stops with kernel panic. Not to worry i've...
