4.1 Alpha 7

[zigbert]

Suggestion:

/root/puppy-reference/fonts could be nice

[zigbert]

Also...It seems that ffmpeg is not compiled with the --enable-mp3lame setting. This is needed to allow ffmpeg to encode to mp3.

I have just booted the 4.1beta Retro and the network wizard reports the wag511v2 as ath_pci and doesn't warn about not supporting WPA

Yes, the ath5k module is only available in newer kernels. This driver has been reported as unreliable, so I suggest you first check whether it works with WEP encryption, and/or no encryption.
If it works OK, now you can go ahead and fix the Network Wizard so it will recognise the new driver as compatible with WPA this way:
Open /usr/sbin/wag-profiles.sh in Geany and at around line 147 you will see a long list of wifi drivers starting with "bcm43xx". Insert "|ath5k_pci" into that line and save. Now you can configure for WPA.

If the ath5k driver fails to make a connection, you should configure your system to load the "ath_pci" module instead of the "ath5k"

Hi!!
Please, is there another link for download?
This
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... 4.1alpha7/
is extremely slow and goes in timeout after 8-10 mb downloading...
Is there a mirror or another link? I'd like to try this distro in my msi-wind u100!!

Many thanks!!

Just tried the 'Standard' release.
Deleted the sfs as suggested, had a problem at the choose keyboard stage (MRI or NRI but it said it would try and continue)
Which it did
Usual thing got to desktop - few seconds of mouse and keyboard and then it froze

back to the retro for me . . .
How are you getting on?

I had two of my hard drive partitions mounted, and then mounted a flash drive and did a "Universal Installer" on it, and then copied a few files to it. I then unmounted the flash drive, and then attempted to unmount the hard drive partitions. This failed with the message: "FAILURE! In the case of removable media, the most common reason is the media is not currently inserted. If so, please remedy." This message is little help because the hard drive is not removable. If I try a umount in a console window, I get the message "Device or resource busy"

Shutdown worked, though.
