Never had to blanks a RW DVD just copy over!

New install, however, I'm using my rc save file. Everything works fine so far with the existing save file. I will generate a new save file. Your new pmount is a pleasant surprise, loads much quicker than the old one and has a nice "check and fix feature".

Thanks for another super distribution which is going to the top of my menu.lst.

Cheers,
Jim

Thanks for all the kind words and for all the help during testing.

The ISOs and devx are now up on Ibiblio and should soon go to all the mirrors.

I have added Seamonkey Mail capability to Geeqie. (Thanks to CatDude)

If you right click on a photo in the main window or side (left) window, select edit, then mail, you can parse photos to Seamonkey mail in compose mode. The photos are shrunk to 1024x768 before attaching. You can select multiple photos by pressing shift or Ctrl when selecting in the left window.

Gimp can be used by the same process. Simply right click on the photo, Edit, Gimp, and your photo will be loaded into Gimp ready for editing.

The Geeqie html help file is also available from the edit menu.

Enjoy.

Thanks very much to kirk and jamesbond for this amazing distro!

I'm still using the rc but will upgrade, I'm running my remaster on a
fast 4gb flash drive with a 1gb savefile, no problems

Just downloaded the new distro and so far it's working great except for one thing (please excuse my noobness)...

Can anyone tell me how to open a file from firefox in fatdog64-600? I have read the manual and faqs and spent a few hours trying to figure it out. I tried the spot thing suggested, didn't work, I also tried changing the config file from firefox -spot to just firefox with the exec parameter, that doesn't work for me either. Other programs seem to load files from my data drive (internal) on my laptop, but not ff.

I have just burnt a live cd and loaded that so not using any sfs or save files yet. All I want to do is to read the file, I'm not trying to write anything and I put it in the suggested location for spot and copied it to the desktop, so I know it's there, but it won't give me permission to read, when I use the open file command from the ff menu.

I don't know what else to do or where else to look for information, so if someone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction, I'll go and spend another few hours trying to figure it out. Is it really this difficult?

Also the forum did not remember my change of password and blocked me out for half an hour. So I've spent about four hours just trying to upload some files to you and log in to the forum.

Anyway, you FatDog64 users, hope you like the wallpapers I made, and thanks to the chaps for taking the time to do the distro.

I'm a little bit frustrated to say the least, so apologies if I sound a bit cranky, but it's been a long session and the last thing I needed was having to reboot back into windows (where I had just rebooted from into FatDog, coz that's where I did the graphics).

And sorry if I posted things in the wrong section, feel free to move, now I'm going to catch some sleep.


Anyway, this was just my way of saying thanks for the new distro - enjoy!











I've got a few more that I'm working on, so if people like them, who knows, I may upload some more .


Cheers.

Has anyone attempted the older virtualbox build script found here in 600Final?

And has anyone build the latest truecrypt (7.1a) for any of the recent FT Betas or RCs?

Ruff-Boy maybe one need to mount that drive that the file is on.
And even add it as a file for Firefox to open in case that is not obvious?

I apologize if I have misunderstood what you talk about.
As JameBond indicate in his answer above maybe try
to describe where you are at that moment and what you click on?

My experience is that sometimes one need to do mount first.
Either using menu Files and Mount or using the Terminal some
CLI code that do such mounting,

If this "All I want to do is to read the file" is how you boot then
one most likely has to mount the partition that the file is on.
Or maybe even move the file to the spot directory?

Haha it took me some 30 minutes to find my old post from June 15 about it.

Is this what you talk about?
