Guys, sorry for the delay, I've been avoiding the heat-wave in this part of Europe... 2.64 was released two days ago. I cannot test it at the moment because my new "work" machine is an Android tablet. I gave away both of my desktop-heaters that were used for testing Puppy. Please check out...

These are the values that should be used:

/sys/block/drive[/partname]/size * 512 (in bytes)
or
/sys/block/drive[/partname]/size / 2048 (in MBytes)

... for all drives (for now).

Anyone who buys one of the new Advanced-Format HDDs and gets the wrong size reading, please report here (kindly).

OK, forget that little size formula.
It appears that on newer hard-drives (after 2010) you may need to check /sys/block/drive/queue/logical_block_size or physical_block_size.

You might consider using data from /sys/block (instead of /sys/dev/block) in that lite drive-detector, and get it all organized even easier (and slightly faster). Partitions could be displayed as sub-menus. (And every partition could have its own sub-menu, if you want to add more options like mount/...

BMesh power-tools in 2.63.

Carve-d algorithms for polygonal (s)mEshin' in 2.62.

If there's no ATAHD file in there in the terminal in your sda7/test dir.

and something for pixel-art lovers...

Anyone who tries to follow these rules can forget about contrast.
The only thing that'll look good is some smeared, soft (low-contrast) gradient.

yeah, the point is you got the build options right.
it was virtually unbreakable on 99% of machines (even pre-2004-ones), unlike 3.x.x attempts.

Mick, may I ask who built the 2.6.37.6 for s530-main?

We should tell Ingo to disable atmospheric conditions for the delta-renderer. It's pure cosmetics and it doubles the CPU usage. That way even <500MHz could play smoothly. Anyway, lots of useful options from the command-line. Old laptop users who don't want to drain the battery just by seeing how it ...

Heh... brilliant. The memory-bug is fixed. Ingo really got it this time. With a few more rendering tweaks, this will be perfection. Already deserves its place in the Game Classics repo, along with Cartoon Fighter. Does the sdl-renderer consume 100% cpu-time on every machine? If so, people with slowe...

Cycles rendering engine is now part of the official version (2.61 - 1st post). You can test your CPU as always, if you don't wanna fiddle with Mesa drivers.

We should also mention the 3rd (shifting) way, which preserves escape-codes in arguments, why some would say that it should be #1 choice. #!/bin/sh while [ $# -ne 0 ]; do case "$1" in *.pet|*.deb|*.rpm) busybox cp "$1" /dst1 &;; *.zip|*.rar|*.bz2) busybox cp "$1" /d...

...little problem I've noticed is if you select more than one type of file, eg: *.pet and *.zip at the same time it copies them both to the same directory... #!/bin/bash for ((i=1; i<=$#; i++)); do case "${!i}" in *.pet|*.deb|*.rpm) busybox cp "${!i}" /destination1 &;; *.zip...

Don't forget ;; at the end of each case.

I think it could be nice to see if I could build a 100% static X server without any graphical applications except rxvt-unicode and cwm. Dima, if you are into innovation, strive for a 50MB enlightenment-powered-puppy, with just a working pdf viewer and a media player. You've got all the ingredients....

Just some all-organic wallpapers to complete the green-bath:

Don't have the heart to whine about anything in this release. It's been rock-solid.

:D well, i don't like your shabang either... :D i'm not even gonna change that. seriously techno, i'm complaining about unionfs .1s delays, and you're porting me to the versatile 2minute-mount approach? did you clock the devx-linking? and it needs recursion in the unmounting part too, if you wanna d...
