I'd like you to tell your good lady wife, from me, personally, a big thanks to her, for allowing you to include all of us in your family!

Not real world?....of course it is, and I'm sure she secretly knows the real world effect you have had on so many peoples lives....by being friendly

Respect - well earned, my friend!

ttuuxxx, I don't know you that well but, I do admire your work. I find 2.14x infectious, it grows on you. Please don't work on glibc, for a second, on my account. I have reinstalled and unclicked updates for FF. I use a Belkin PCMCIA wireless card and it took me a while to rediscover that I have to use madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r4031-k2.6.18.1.pet that can be found here;

Thank you, tempestuous.

As an old guy, I hardly ever wish to be a different age than I am. However, where you are right now is a very special time. I'm sure you know that. Your friends are hoping you will take all the ttuuxxx and ttuuxxx family time you can get right now. I wish for you good memories to last you a lifetime. Make them well.

Congratulations, ttuuxxx...and also thanks for always taking care of us!
Now enjoy the little one.
Before you know it, she'll want those car keys!

Thanks for all the nice comments guys
Here's a pic of her, she is 2 days old in the picture, Funny how the hair colour goes, all of my kids and myself started off with dark brown/black hair, then that usually falls out and gets replaced in a few months with very light blond hair for about 8-12 years, then it gradually turns to a light brown, dark drown, and then almost black and early grey.
Below is 2 pic's one is the baby and one is my 8yr old, so you can see that she's just starting to turn from blond to light brown,

Hi ttuuxxx,

Nice babes !

Hope they will prosper and become first of -happy- people !

Congrats

Great kids. I'm sure occasionally you see something a little less but, they both look like angels in the pictures.

ttuuxxx, I hadn't paid much attention to your avatar. Guess who lives less than 20 miles north of Clermont and the Jim Beam distillery? Don't be surprised if when picking up a bottle you see a note from me. It's a small world.

Even though we live in bourbon country, my wife's mother and father are both from Bardstown (bourbon capital of the world) and both our fathers as well as other family members worked in distilleries, we prefer tequila, rum or gin.

If the daughters take after their mom; you're a very lucky man.

Best wishes for a happy future.

Yes I like Jim Beam and also Canadian Club, But my favorite is aberlour scotch, if you ever get a chance to try some it really nice, usually I put the bottle in the freezer for 6+ hrs to thicken it and drink it straight. Its really nice when its really cold, it doesn't freeze. But its expensive usually around $50+ a bottle, I usually only buy it every couple of years for special occasions.

Downloading............ Be doing a full install as soon as I can burn a cd.

Crown Royal or Maker's Mark.

Sounds good James, later I look back and see the updates that I've missed from top5-top6 release posted in the forum and do a regular update, This one I figured was enough with the glibc since that is the base for almost every app running on 2.14X.

Very nice Pictures! Trust mom doing well! Try and get a bit of rest....won't have a lot of rest when baby arrives home . Big sister excited with arrival?

CONGRATULATIONS!

I never do upgrades but I tried to upgrade a full install from Top 5 to Top 6.....didn't go so well. Never even got X started.... Wiping partition and doing a fresh full install on the old P3 test box.

Running Top 6 live pfix=ram on my main Linux box and discovered it doesn't like my old Nvidia card. Xorg was a complete no go so reverted to xvesa with a completely wrong screen resolution.

Xorg.conf shows the correct card and resolution but all i get is "monitor out of range" and a black screen. Not really worried about running it on this box but this is testing.......

well the 8yr didn't want her mother to have another baby because she liked being the baby of the family, but during the last month she did a complete turn around and now she looks forward to her new sister and she's ok with it now
funny how kids think.

Hi James is that your regular pc you usually test 2.14X on? also this is a glibc complete change, Please don't anyone try to update it, Always start fresh and maybe use puppy pfix=ram to make sure its a clean boot.
works fine on my pc with the ati driver, hmmm I might have to update the nv driver if that's what not working for you.

The Nvidia box is my main computer, I use the old P3 for all my testing.The only thing I could get out of Xorg was the black screen....on most other Puppy installs the "nv" driver is fine and goes straight to 1440x900.Lucid, Spup,432 etc......no problems.

Fresh full install on the old P3 test box. No problems at all.

Firefox 4.0 Beta 10 is working fine now too.Top 6 flies on this old P3.

I knew it wouldn't upgrade but someone had to try it.......
