Barry, concerning gxine, why persevere with it when its so buggy?

Yes Sage, but the other thing is that Gxine has by far the best user interface. That Xine-ui is truly awful, and no matter what I do, I can't get it to permanently show the controls. But if Gxine won't work I'd go for Mplayer any day, because it does work. Apart from the lack of DVD navigation, does anybody ever have any problems with it?

I'd vote for Mplayer over Gxine.

Curious behavior of the (static) network settings. Having unplugged the RJ45 during an abortive attempt to install an absolute dog of a distro (DreamLinux), discovered that the IP addresses of the NIC and gateway were lost from a full install when restarting P4beta1, but not the DNS addresses. No big deal just strange.

Hi, I am 3.01 user, very satisfied, would like to test 4 beta but the download for me (ADSL) is about 2kb/sec about 10 hours to complete and with this rate it is always corrupted or stopped during download. Any idea?

I made some progress on this. ideflash frugal installations can now run in PUPMODE 13. See the thread below:

I think this may be a bug. I went through Menu/Desktop/JWM Configuration/Taskbar/Tray Height Option (in gtkdialog)/SHORT and found the Error message:

I updated the Trash roxapp to fix the bugs introduced when Barry put it in Dingo, and add other features/bugfixes.

There is a lot of other code changed, and I might have missed something so please report any bugs.
I've also made some suggestions for how somebody with a little knowledge and time can improve it. Some of these would be very quick, so hopefully someone will take it up and we'll see another version soon Smile

Barry - you should be able to drop it straight in Dingo now.

Hi all

Thanks linuxcbon I changed my xserver to 24 from 16 and now it works no blue screen.

So far I like Puppylinux 4.

1.when I restart xserver,it always crash
2.I can not save sessions, it always say "sessions not saved"
3.New mount tool is bad then ever. when I eject the partion, it always say wrong message in red word,and mount NTFS partion,it can't be writed.
4.I hope the author can provide locale for puppy4 series.
