The travelmate has 512mb RAM, I use Carolina 007. The rc3 boots fine on a Lenovo T61 (which I use now) and on Asus eee netbooks.

But the post of rg66 gives some hope for the Acer. Maybe (hopefully) I something went wrong on my side. Is it possible for to upload your Carolina 007 iso somewhere where I can download it?

The travelmate needs 007rc3-non-pae iso. You can make one with 007rc iso and 007rc to 007rc3-non-pae delta file. As long as the md5sum checks out it should boot. The delta you need is this one http://smokey01.com/carolina/isos/lina- ... .iso.delta. The delta file md5 is d37ccfc54e8e7842e9b21e6d0663c4de. The 007rc3-non-pae iso md5 is de72ecac9bf405b676ccefec8cdf6a2f.

Thanx! I have no clue what went wrong before. But now it works, the Acer has returned to life

(as long as compiz stays unabled but that is a detail. Even cairo dock works well so... as long as you do not mind the stains and scratches on the keyboard and lid the look&feel is that of a Mac, with the price tag of a big mac that is)

and xbmc is working! nice nice nice!!

hi dromeno .... you'll need to add hitchers repo to get iplayer in xbmc

download the zip here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19745842/Repo/x ... -4.0.0.zip

then in xbmc go to settings, addons ... install from zip file

then after it's installed got to get add-ons and click on the hitcher repository... then install iplayer


some other good repos to add are ...

anarchintosh.repo for icefilms. http://anarchintosh-projects.googlecode ... .1.0.1.zip
bstrdsmkrs repo for 1channel films http://repo.gosub.dk/bstrdsmkr/reposito ... -0.0.3.zip
eldorados repo for project free tv https://github.com/downloads/Eldorados/ ... -1.0.2.zip

no wireless in 007-rc3

for me wireless is working (also on the travelmate)

XBMC: 666philb thanksfor the repos! BUT... I wish there was a solution to the ip adress problem. BBC will not play outside the UK. PBS only works in the US. etc. etc.

I wonder... is it possible to add some I2P or similar proxy option to Carolina. Does not need to be bullet-proof ToR but just enough to obtain the required identity to legally watch the news of a foreign country.

I can't use Carolina-007rc because frisbee wireless always says invalid password...

I have tried repeatedly to connect via wireless but no success...

I have no problem logging onto my wireless router with any other "puppy" or linux distro ??

Any suggestions ?? Thank You.

You should update to 007rc3 because frisbee was broken in 007rc.

In the mean time, open control panel and click on network button. Click on internet connection wizard and choose yes to disable frisbee. Internet connection wizard will open and click on wired or wireless lan button. Choose simple network setup and see if it works.

why no wireless for me? Kernel difference

rc - 3.2.18-ski and required firmware/driver/module included

rc3 - 3.2.13 and required firmware/driver/module NOT included

for most puppies it is "wl" (Broadcom)

rg66...
Thank You for the instructions...
I am now able to connect to my wireless router...
Next, as you suggested, I will upgrade from Carolina-007rc to Carolina-007rc3...

Both 007rc and 007rc3 use the 3.2.13-ski kernel. What module is it that you need?

Did wireless work in 007rc?

Pfind does not work correctly in Carolina: the file/action/help menu is not visible. I will ask Zigbert to have a look at it.

I think the C.U.P.S. is outdated, this one most likely gives a problem when printing in landscape format. The new version is cups 1.4.8 if I am informed correctly.

One other question about the packet manager / dependency checker: is it difficult to add an option so that Carolina also tries to locate missing deps in the ubuntu repos? Now it only looks in a couple of puppy repositories .

On the other hand... I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that Pup-Sysinfo worked (it is not in the Carolina repo). Same for snap2 backup.

If you're talking about the menu's in the screen shot below, they only show after a search.

yes wireless worked in rc, but NOT rc3.

Module needed (i believe): wl <--------------that's broadcom

Strange, rc3 is based on rc so if it worked in rc it should work in rc3. Are you using a savefile from rc in rc3? Have you tried it in ram? Did you check that the rc3 md5sum is correct?

rg66, no I mean the options in the screenshots below. pfindstart= startup menu, pfindaction= results menu. These do not appear in Carolina yet.

Especially the actions menu is very useful (allows for bulk operations such as copy on large amounts of files in different directories.)

screenshots were taken in Lucid Puppx 528005

I had no rc save, so yes I ran in ram. I used rc iso and delta to convert rc to rc3 nonpae, so no need for md5sum.

May I ask where's Elroy? No biggie,just wanted to say hi. I've been telling people everywhere I go about Carolina. You know, it's easy and fast to download... As I recall, Elroy is some kind of boss of a gambling club in Nevada? Well, again I'm just saying thanks and I dig it very much. Thanks dudes.

Hi

I've built the RC3 with the delta non-pae and boot is ok. I had a savefile inside the directory, hope it won't hurt, I didn't kow if start from fresh is recommended... Seems very good. Did you do something with the fonts ? no change for me. See upup-precise from pemasu, it has very few fonts compared to yours but they all display very fine and the right font in the right place.
Great work !

Sorry for edit: do you follow this thread about the xdg menus ? could useful and very good in Carolina

Zigbert replied (pm) to my question about pfind:

the problem is an outdated 'pfilesearch' which pFind depends on. Carolina 0.7rc has pfilesearch-1.28 while the latest is 1.34
