ripple_06.2
GPRS connect works but you must have a pup_save file active to see the "PGPRS Connect" and "PGPRS Setup" links in the network menu. If you dont have a pup_save file then you need to do as per the attached images.

from menu>Setup>wizard wizard>connet to internet>intenet by wireless GPRS modem> (now look at attached images gprs.internet.png) > then in a terminal/consol (now look at attached images pgprs-connect.png)

Ripple6.3 Emerald still needs to use the ctl+alt+backspace to do a selection.

Hi Lane, I know you've done it before, but can you post your graphics card again? I'll do some research over the next wee and see what I come up with.

@aarf
Thanks for all that info! I'll reply soon.

@ aarf. I don't think so... but we can try. As far as I know the vmlinuz is made differently when rebuilt from unleashed, and the initrd.gz has also changed. It's not particularly hard to download an iso, so I'm unlikley to do that.

@ LaneLester
Try manual configuration, and choose the earlier card drivers (96.something-or-other) If you got it working in Ubuntu, we'll get it working in Ripple. Does wNOP or TigerPup work on that card? Yeah, I think I prefer the 06-2 config as well.. someone had mentioned a dockbar that didn't autohide, so I thought I'd play around with other settings. Cheers.

Compiz Icon>configure compiz>General>general options>edge trigger delay needs to be moved above zero to say 2 or 3. With this setting both emerald and compriz management become easier in small screens. Double clicking the quit button in emerald is made possible.

Thanks aarf. I'll have a look at the drivers shortly ane, no time for the next day or two however. Thanks for sticking with it, I'll try and get a fix happening. I'm sure we'll get it working. I'll answer all the above in more detail in the next few days. Thans for your enthusiasm folks!

until the graphic designers/artist do their magic:
attached GPRS icon.
Note that GPRS isn't supported in native Xandros on eeePC 701 so GPRS is a definite selling point for ripple.

Thanks aarf. Can you explain to me what gprs is? I'm woefully ignorant. Cheers.

@dinky Gprs lets you connect your laptop to the internet via cable or bluetooth to/with your mobile phone at any location you can use your mobile phone . Gprs/EDGE is a pre 3G technology that is still the only one used in large parts of some countries. The same connection scripts can also be used to do the same for 3G at least in Knoppix so I assume in puppy too.

That's really awesome! I'll have to try it when I get a chance, though I'm not sure how to do it with my mobile. Data cable works fine... anyway... will have a play. That really makes the eeepc's extremely portable with Ripple. I'm wanting to integrate wep cracking software into Ripple's next release as well, to... um... test your own home secruity. I suppose this is the first real release we're working towards. Can you be in charge of the Gprs integration? I know nothing about it, and it would be great if someone else culd take this onboard. What this means is probably just creating some user docs for it, and helping integrate it into the user interface. Sounds like it could be good to have that icon you made on the dock bar.

I'd like to start pushing Ripple out more on other forums as well (there was a live cd starting up on the compiz-fusion thread.. we've just done it), but currently it comes down to time. I want to be developing this stuff, not talking about it to others. We aso need more testers for the latest beta version, to see if the cfwizard is working at al. Anyway, cheers for that.
