Found it....
you probably have the fixed gtk2 for firefox stability so you need
to put this attached library from nimblex into

/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/printbackends/
relaunch firefox and see....

for the inkmonitor this miniscript is needed...

Hi Ttuuxxx.

I've been using your puplets and following your progress since Fire Hydrant 3.01. Need I add "keep up the good work!"javascript:emoticon(' Very Happy

')

So, please take this as a suggestion from an admirer of your technical expertise and aesthetic inclinations; from someone whose expertise, as an attorney, is in the field of communication: how to create clarity, or when required, confusion. javascript:emoticon(' Twisted Evil

')
Placing the link(s) to the latest/revised ISO, sfs, and pets on the first post of the thread is a great idea. However, for those who come to the thread after, as yours are inclined to do, it's grown --I'm was tempted to spell that as "groan"--javascript:emoticon(' Rolling Eyes

') trying to figure out whether 'patches' you developed were included in your latest release can be a difficult. javascript:emoticon(' Sad

') This is because the "subtitle" of the first post gives the date when it was first posted. Sometimes the release notes are self-explanatory.

But it would help if you would include in the text the date of the release. That way, a newcomer can quickly scan through the thread for discussions following that release.

Thanks,

MikesLr

My wife was using Windows on her computer -- it died. I loaded Ttuuxxx's wonderful puplet and everthing was great, but only for the first boot. After that, it can't find the network.

I'm booting from the cd. On first boot, it seems to be copying the sfs file to the hard drive but not including the network drivers. The machine uses the forcedeth driver for nvidia. When I search the file system for the proper driver, it can't find it. As a matter of fact is doesn't seem to find any network drivers. I'm assuming it uses the sfs on the cd for the first boot up and then the copied sfs for subsequent boots.

I know the driver is on the cd because I can set it up on the first boot. I'm telling it to save the network settings. Can I manually copy the right driver to some place in the layered file system? Can I mount pfix=ram and somehow add the proper driver to the .sfs? Any advice?

Sorry if this has been dealt with already. I've scanned through the pages, but there are a lot of them. Now I'm off to work for the day.

Not the intended purpose, but my zdrv cutter utility will get you 99% there

I've solved my reboot problem.

I just had to copy the zp430305.sfs file to the hard drive in the same location as
the pup-430.sfs. Now when I reboot from the cd, the proper drivers are
available and everything works great.
