You are exactly right! This should be handled automatically, but the files that do that are missing. The missing directory is /etc/wvdial_options, which I attach here. Extract it to the /etc directory. It should be included in the distro as part of wireless modem support, part of puppy infrastructure.

Fatdog is too advanced for me but want to ask anyway.

I've tried to find my old menu.lst but it is on another computer
that I have not booted up now. And using search I failed too
and on FAQ only for those good at understanding RTFM

Here is one explanation why html on local disk failed to show.
The real??? address is
file:///aufs/devsave/bookmark.html

while at /mnt/home there is nothing on sda1
sda1 is on file:///aufs/devsave/

I had no idea it has that name.

the savefile ended up on the HD but outside of the fd64 so I moved it
there maybe that mess up things? I reboot to find out. yes worked well

Hi Barbol, rerwin,
BINGO
Thunderbirds ago with Fatdog, thanks all
now i'm off to learn how to hack into the commonwealth bank to fund meself a V12 Jag!!
Hmmm, wonder how I can get 'snap to' to work on my trackball. Aung

"ago"??
Surely a phonetic misinterpretation.

Terryphi,

FileZilla-3.6.0.2 is the latest and it works fine.

I installed fatdog 611 to a usb 3.0 hard drive with the fatdog installer.
Hardinfo isn't available so not much of a report here.
Fatdog is working well so far on this hp desktop pc.

@Billtoo, this might help.

1. Open terminal
2. type hardinfo

Cheers!

This is what I get when I run hardinfo:

In 611's Shutdown processing, there "may" be a bug.

If one is to start the Save-session processing to sda1, then, 2 screens later decides to have it save to the booting DVD by selecting the "Previous" buttons, the Shutdown subsystem will continue to behave as though it will store on an HDD instead of the DVD. In other words, if you backup and change it to the DVD, the subsystem will behave as it would for a HDD instead of the expected DVD screenings.

Here to help

611 has so much new stuff. Here one that might need be revisited.

I know it is reasonably easy to turn on SWAP when there is a SWAP partition present, it can easily be overlooked. Even experience "Puppylanders" have come to know that if it is present at boot-time, the distro will incorporate it into the booted system. FATDOG is not folding the SWAP into the desktop at boot.

The only reason one might not want to do so is if one is in a forensics/auditing mode or one may be modifying the partition layouts where Gparted will alert the user should it be mounted. Most of us are rarely in this mode

Questions

• Would this warrant reconsideration where the SWAP partition gets used by the booted system without having to hunt for the reason why it is not?
• Also, I may have missed something about Linux operations, but does having a SWAP partition negatively impact system performance?

I present this as a ease of use idea.

P.S. Over the years, I have noticed the subtle changes in Hardinfo that you continue to make. It does make our lives easier where in one tool we see so much about the system. Don't know if I mentioned this before, but Thanks again.

Hope this helps too

has anyone tried to burn a DVD using Pburn in Fatdog. I continually get an error just as the files are about to be written to the DVD.

I think it may have something to do with the file layering system as the files can't be found by Pburn. The files are being created however in the normal Pburn directories.

I know it works fine in Slacko so it appears to be Fatdog related.

Just yesterday, I had some interesting issues with Pburn on Slacko54 for burning FATDOG611's ISO. Seems to have been confused with a DVD+RW that I wanted it to create the multisession from the ISO.

I ended by creating the DVD manually. (After your post, it reminded me of the problem I saw and am wondering where the source of the DVD handling problem might be.)

I have NOT tried to use FATDOG, itself for DVD writing yet. I'm still wrestling with the various FATDOG releases and some of the new behavior.

Hope to provides some clue.

With the catchphrase "Thunderbirds are go!
Well there one goes, all these years I thought it was thunderbirds ago, or maybe a-go would have been better. Yes tempestuous I had to google it. Down under we just had a our first blind chap fitted with a bionic eye and the first thing he said when he saw 'light' was 'thunderbirds a-go' and the next day the creator dies.

gcmartin how about try and create a dvd from either an avi, mpeg, wmv or mp4.

Please report if you are successful. It works in other distributions, just not Fatdog.

Thank you for this, I have included this as part of Fatdog too.

Thanks Richard, I'm glad you are finally here. Let me know what is else needed to get 3G modem going, I'll get them in. I don't have a 3G dongle myself so I can only rely on others to test it.

cheers!
James

Fix and workaround here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 052#674052.

Also, thanks for Barbol, usb-modemswitch is now in the pet repo.

cheers!

CatDude also discovered the following would also fix the problem when compiling:

Compile:
configure --prefix=/usr --enable-default-video-format=PAL
make
make install

I guess this will only work for PAL.

I have tested it and it works fine in Pburn-3.7.7 and 3.7.9 with Fatdog-611.

I will now try your patch.

Thanks

Hello Friends,

Can we have these big iso files in torrent.

I am interested to use it. However, I am not able to download it because, my Internet goes off time to time. Also I have severe bandwidth limitation per month.

Hope, if we can have all the big files in torrent, we can have a taste of newly released puppies, when we have some leftover bandwidth in the last week of months.

Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

When it boots up it give an error message
that I fail to write down it is shown too briefly
for me to remember.

It fails to find a lib file due to no such directory?
Can one looks at that in some tempory file somewhere
so I can quote it here and also to compare if it is same
message in the other computer that also works well with FD.

Another questions. All these Samba servers they only work
if I tell them to or are they always active in the background by default?
