Thank you for the feedback. I was pretty sure i had the java DISABLED by default in FireFox. However i might of missed it. I will run the live cd and doublecheck. The coming 528 version will not have java. The java package was necessary for LibreOffice to run, and it installed the firefox java plugin as well, but i think i had it disabled.batchain wrote:Dear Sir:
I have been using Diamond 2.12 for three days with no trouble.
Kernel modules auto-load for my hardware:
Video chip: Intel 845G (i915)
Sound chip: Intel 82801DB (snd_intel8x0)
Ethernet: Realtek RTL-8139 (8139too)
Wireless: 3Com OfficeConnect (zd1211rw)
I chose the 'intel' driver during Xorg setup at first boot.
My only concern is the default enabling of Java in Firefox.
Some people might consider that a security problem.
Thank you for both the clean GUI and including
Firefox 10 with a working Flash.
Kind regards,

Did you add LibreOffice? The new 528 version of Diamond does not come with LibreOffice. However I have Diamond528 installed (full) on my PC, and i was able to configure my HP PSC1610 printer and print from Abiword without any issues. CUPS did not list my printer model, but i have seen this in the past; i just choose the driver for HP PSC 2110 and it works fine. Let me try it from the live cd and see if it works there as well.davec51 wrote:Just using the new version on CD. Internet connection is fine now, but a new problem has arisen: I can't get the printer (HP) to work. I set up the CUPS as usual, the printer shows up on my LibreOffice, but there is no printing. I set it up several times, so it's not likely that I made a mistake in the setup. Is it a bug, or just my usual incompetence?
Cool!! And Thanks. I will incorporate it into the next release.tubeguy wrote:http://tubeguy.org/puppybg/diamondwall1600x1200.jpg
You're welcome! Good news! A 528 version with LibreOffice will be available soon.Colonel Panic wrote:Hi. Just downloaded and and now posting from the new Diamond (5.2.8 ), it's another great Puppy.
Thanks for all your hard work! I think I'll still keep the old one around though for when I need a good live implementation of Libre Office without having to download it again.

It's your project, but would that be better than keeping Diamond the way it is and loading LibreOffice from an SFS file, which could also be loaded from any other Puppies which might share the partition?TLM wrote:You're welcome!

There will be two versions of Diamond: the first one without LibreOffice, and the 2nd one will be called Diamond_full, with LibreOffice. Other than LibreOffice and Java, the two versions will be the same and i will do my best to keep both up to date. The SFS option will still be available for those who want to use the smaller version of Diamond with an SFS. Actually as of the time of this posting, Diamond528_full is finished; i just need to get it uploaded and post a DL link. Also added Lxmenu category icons to the lx start menu in Diamond_full. Will do this to the smaller version next update as well. Diamond Slacko is doable, if i find the timeColonel Panic wrote:It's your project, but would that be better than keeping Diamond the way it is and loading LibreOffice from an SFS file, which could also be loaded from any other Puppies which might share the partition?TLM wrote:You're welcome!

Hello, and thank you for the feedback. I just ran GtkHash on the iso and i am getting:Ruff-Boy wrote:First of all, thanks for the Diamond distro.
It's currently at the top of my list to put on my 9yr old laptop.
Working better than about 7 or 8 others that shall remain nameless.
I am using the Diamond_2_12rtp.iso version at the moment but wanted
to try the updated Diamond528_full.iso. I have downloaded it three times and each time I get an md5 hash value of:

NOT

as you have stated. I'm using HashCalc.
Are your totally sure about that MD5 or am I doing something wrong?
Could someone else confirm this or is it just me?
Thanks.
