Wow, thanks Jamesbond! I was going to do Fix#1, thought I'd just grab the udev rules from some other distro. But then after some searching it seems there's problems with multifunction devices (scanner, printer, fax) being identified as a scanner, then printing doesn't work because the new node is assigned to to wrong group. So Fix#2 is looking real good.
Thanks again.

Steve,
I presume you install your java by downloading the .bin file from Sun website directly. When you run the .bin file, it will extract the entire JRE (or JDK) to the current directory. You can then move this directory elsewhere as you wish (e.g, under /opt). I will continue this with assumption you have installed the JRE under /opt/java.
To get java working under firefox, according to here http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.6.0/manual_i ... linux.html you have to create a symlink in firefox's plugins directory to correct java library.
To cut the story short, all you have to do is this:
Replace "/opt/java" above with where you installed your JRE.
Checked it in firefox's plugins page (about:plugins) before and after you do that. If you still need further confirmation, you can come here http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp to check. You don't even have to restart Firefox after that to get Java working.
(Tested with alpha4, with JRE update 18 - though I'm sure it will work with update 17 as well).
Hope that helps, cheers !

Kirk, almost ready to send you my $20
A-4 for my setup now works for my chipset. Not any wizards for Xorg on cd or full install first boot. Running sbin/xorgwizard from terminal dont work, xorgwizard-old brings up the wizard but on restarting the Xserver the screen is dark green with barely visible text. Quick and dirty rebuild needed to fix it. (delete everything execpt boot and root and do a full install, this way all my settings, apps and docks are are saved) However I can take xorg.conf out of A-3 to give me my 1024:768 screen. Takeing xorgwizard out of A-3 dont work, afrer restarting Xserver get a prompt but cant type 'xwin jwm' another Q&D install needed. Aung

Hi kirk,
Just asking, are you going to release alpha5 soon, or are you going to hold for a while until 2.6.33-series kernel and the issue with aufs/unionfs has stabilised?
cheers!

Yes, I've been meaning to post something. I've been working on a NFS file sharing application for Fatdog. I compiled 2.6.33.1 with AUFS enabled for NFS. It's working, but I'm trying to hammer some bugs out. If you kill the nfsd servers without umounting, then the system becomes unstable. If it can't get things to unmount reliably, I'll recompile the kernel without NFS support for AUFS and make the NFS file sharing application work with folders out side of the layered file system (/mnt/home). I might do that anyway to avoid AUFS from having to do so many tricks and having less storage limitations.
I haven't really had any problems with AUFS. The previous alphas have all been ext2 in the save file. Alpha 5 will be ext3. I did this once before, but it seems like I got some error messages popping up when the save file was on NTFS. Unionfs is just too scary. I don't think it gets much testing due to AUFS. Apparently you need a patch for Unionfs so that most web browsers will work. That can't be good.
I'll upload alpha 5 later this week.

Cool ! Thanks kirk, and no rush. I've been running alpha1 (your very first alpha on 2.6.28 kernel) for a while now, off an NTFS partition and I hacked the initrd to use ext3 for the save file, and yes I got a few worrying messages each time I shutdown, but so far no loss of data on either the save file or on the NTFS partition itself.

64 bit puppy
G'day Kirk,
Thanks for Fatdog 64. I have been searching for a 64 bit pup for a while and accidently came across your.
Works like a charm on my Toshiba Satellite L500 laptop. Gimp boots in 2.5 seconds.
