Downloaded and installed RC5 this morning.

The bookmarks in the dillo browser no longer work. This browser (Dillo 0.8.5-il8n-misc.) came from the dillo_0.8.5-4.1.pet which was included as a fix on page 194 of this thread. It had always worked very well until RC5.

I uninstalled the dillo_0.8.5-4.1.pet and the browser reverted back to the original Dillo 0.8.6. The bookmarks again work. The problem with this is that the lettering in the browser is so rough that it is difficult to read. I use dillo a lot for reading. Also, the very handy menu to make adjustments to dillorc is gone.

I use dillo a lot because the version of Firefox in this puppy is too slow and unstable on my old clunker.

Just lost a post yet again...I hate this forum software!

I can confirm that it works as ttuuxxx says in my frugal install.

Thanks for your feedback clarf.
Perhaps I should not have used "home".
If I install 214X frugally on, say, sdb3, then I get a desktop icon for that partition which is called "home."
If I do a Full install of 214X I don't get any icon for that partition, which I feel is wrong, as that partition could and in fact does have other stuff on it (frugals).
If I do a Full install of 431 then I do get a desktop icon (not called home but called sdb3).
Not life threatening but if it's a simple tweak might be worthwhile?

Re remote printing:
In Pnethood I can see the remote PC which has the printers attached and also can see and open shares. Also, like you, I can see the remote PC in lameSMBexplore but can't see any shares.
I wonder if lameSMBexplorer is working for anyone. Also what advantage is it supposed to have over Pnethood? I did ask before but there were no replies.

If you have any ideas what I should be checking to fix my remote printing issue then it'd be appreciated.

Cheers
Dave

here's a small filemanager that I linked rox's icons too, can't figure out how to set new icons to it, like for pet,sfs etc.
Anyways its small and looks nice (now it does), and it crashes if you go ito the opt directory, not That this was going to be installed by default, but I just like trying different things, Too bad it hasn't been updated in like 5yrs, really could of had some potential.

I don't think you are reading what I wrote.

I want to use the dillo browser came from dillo_0.8.5-4.1.pet that you included on page 194 of this thread; because it is much better looking and works better. I used that dillo 0.8.5-il8n-misc browser until RC5.

The browser that you showed in your book.jpg is not the browser from the dillo_0.8.5-4.1.pet. Look at how rough and uneven the lettering is in your book.jpg.

What I have now the Dillo 0.8.6 browser that is in 214X is better looking than the book.jpg.

There is no use in raising questions in this thread because your answer is:

Does anyone know how to make dbus make its socket in
/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket I think it used to when I first installed dbus, The reason why I found another network monitor (blinky replacement) that compiles fine but needs the socket for it run, it comes with new features like for wireless etc. Would be nice to get it going.

I installed the lameSMBxploer-0.2.1b and somehow got to see my samba shares.
So it looks like the new version works but I have to say that I much prefer the seemingly ease of use of Pnethood. Perhaps put both in but pls pls don't chuck Pnethood which just works despite HairyWill no longer being so active here.

ttuuxxx,
Yes I only installed the one pet as mentioned. I read Patriot's first post a few times but still couldn't work out if that was the correct one or not. Let me know if you want me to do any more tests on this but as I mentioned before I don't feel comfortable with this app so I may not be the best one to do the tests.
Glad you agree to keep Pnethood.

Re Dillo. If you feel the old Dillo is buggy I'd rather you keep this one. But up to you as ever. I trust your judgement.

Dave
