I'm sending a copy of Fire Hydrant 3.01c as a test run for the local historical society echrs.ca to use in the library.

This is for the public to use when they come in to do research, also the main OS for the whole group. The computers are somewhat old but I'm happily running off a 1gb flash with room to spare so I figure this will run well on their old computers.

Thanks..I'll let you know how they like your derivative.

Would the Firefox 3 pack be advisable for this version?...and for the library users?
well it would be ok, but the jwm 3.01c has firefox,and flash just not java, but java is like 60MB more around 50% the size of jwm

Just wondering.

tks

No more noise but with this driver way larger than orig I dont know what else if anything it did? ( It does have a small black boarder all around screen that was not present before?)
I see screens that are way wider than 1024x768 and need to scroll side to side and then next screen that fits 1024x768 with no scroll? I would like if possible to have no scroll side to side?
Is this possible?

Next Xsane dont seem to work? Click then nothing happens?

kinjeng wrote:no tuxxx its my problm i havent remaster it yet

this morning i found it
the problm is coz i set the partition and mount like this

hda1 swap
hda2 ext2
hda3 ext3

i try to saperate "/ " and "/root"

my fstab is

/dev/hda2 / ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/hda3 /root ext2 defaults 0 0


and it works , but...

maybe at shutdown reboot script its unmount /root first so it can excute xinitrc scrit.. isn't it?? i don't i didn't try yet

after i move again /root to normal instalation its back normaly..

maybe i need think twice to do that again

recycler wrote:Thanks for this - obviously lots of hard work gone into this! I did a frugal install of inferno on my test machine today and got it to boot up from grub so I was really pleased! (btw ubuntu is the only way I can manage to get grub setup but it works...). I am using it as my main puppy - really like the choice of additions and the overall look is very polished and appealing.

Now trying the office pup version on a 633 mhz HP desktop, 125MB RAM. Runs fine. What I would like to see most is increased screen resolutions. 800x600 is ok and the HP can do it with xvesa. However, trying it on a Dell Dimension 2400 can only get 640x480. Personally (until the next version is released) I will be using this on my two PIII 512mb machines at home and it runs fast on both of those with a high screen resolution...mmm...they both have FX5200 graphics cards which is why (lol).

So anyway - really impressed and will let you know more when I have played around with it a bit. Now...off to see of I can revive the ex windows HP desktop with a HD install of fire hydrant!
