Test booting frugally on ntfs on internal hdd on Acer D250 10" Netbook.

Flash works on SeaMonkey but despite setting is 1024 x 768 it only show 1024 x 600 on the external screen that I use for my old eyes that don't like the 10" small text.

Same with viewnior it also only show 1024 x 600

all else works good. I tested both the uni and the not uni. Both loaded and booted and looked and behaved the same. I used the nosmp code in kernel line.

here is the pic to show how it looks with 1024 x 600 it leave a huge area unused.

Lupu 513 and 525 and 528 allow me to see the whole resolution 1024 x 768 while Wary Puppy and Slacko seems to have code that is different to Lucid Puppy so Wary and Slacko both only allowing 1024 x 600

OK a websearch showed fsck.ntfs doesn't exist, too bad, maybe a link to ntfsfix can solve it ?
I was also refering to previous bugs, like flv not showing, csv, ntfs, keyboard language, menu.lst, hotmail, ext4, empty dirs, hosts.conf, /etc/groups, mouse scroll...

[Aitch]

ntfsfix only flags the drive so windoze will run chkdsk next boot into windoze

ntfsck was under development by Anton Altaparmakov, but seems to have stalled?

http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-Ntfsprogs---ntfsck-p22472855.html

I found ntfsprogs-2.0.0.tar.gz, which may contain ntfsck...but I haven't checked it

Anton's development seems to have been absorbed into Tuxera
I don't know if you can include/update NTFS-3G with ntfsprogs for Wary

@linuxcbon

I hope that I can be of some assistance with most of the issues that you have raised. I did not address the file system issue as Aitch has responded to that. Please correct me if I have misunderstood any of your posts.

@Barry asked for UNI experiences

Running Live media (LiveCD) WARY 5.1.4 on a UNI. Included is the system report. Seemingly is working without issues for the apps tested. Performance seems same as before.

System P3 384MB RAM, ethenet adapter card, ISA and PCI card slots. HP Pavilion.

Hope this helps

Here is the report from uniprocessor system on 5.14.

I did a manual frugal install to a compaq desktop pc.
Sound and wired network good, I used the video upgrade wizard to
install the mesa driver.
