resignation

Sorry to see your pain. There are many lurkers that never reveal themselves but are very interested. arry is following his own path with Quirky, Wolf,gag Wary. There are several developers doing their own things. Each has probably at one time or another felt the same way. Please don't give up..........

Pburn saved, but had to retry several times befor it would load due to syncing glitch. Burniso2CDgave best results, but neither would save my wireless connection (the ever problematic rt...

No Save

Cannot save back to live CD. This has worked thru 4.2.1 , but new version doesn't. Otherwise works very fast. Please put more contrast into new theme no matter what it ends up. Like the metallic look.
Thanks Stray

HI. Glad to see you are doing a project helping others. For natuve Thai speakers, I would start with SUTinRAM as it has been well translated (no English involved) For learning, SCIM would be better although it isn' translated, it is more flexable. Once it is installed, a list of keyboards appears on...

Thanks

Thanks for the leads. D/L and tried them. ThaiPuppy burned as Dingo-(this happened with the original also)- and wasn't Thai ready. The developer version I could not find a link for. SUTinRAM is a full translation but is crippled in various ways. Your best bet -and what I currently do for my wife- is...

SCIM Patch

Just d/l and burned 4.2.1rc2. SCIM installed without a hitch and worked without patching. Have been using UTF=8 character set for Thai without problems. Also works in e-mail for me. :D

Thai

Is there any attempt to localize a Thai language pup? SUTinPUP was a very good start but too much was cut out and the iso no longer seems available. Thai pup was also available at one time , but is now done. I am currently using SCIM (thanks to all who got it working0 but prefer a more complete syst...
