Hello John,

No, I have no PS/2 plug-in. Now I choose the third usb plug-in of the pci card. This works in most cases.
In this old machine with 256MB ram the Karamba sidebar crashes. In newer machines with more ram there is no problem. I would appreciate to use the sidebar. Is there any work around?

Use a serial mouse! May not be fashionable but does exactly the same and you'll find bagfuls of the blighters, under beds, in skips, w.h.y. Most decent boards still have a COM port header even if it's not brought to the backplane.

svgt,
Karamba doesn't crash on my Pentium III 800 Mhz 192mb's of RAM test / development Laptop or any other PC ? If you run karamba from terminal what errors does it list when crashing?

Hello svgt,
I don't have an answer on this one, very strange!

don922 · Posted: Fri 17 Sep 2010, 01:32 Post subject: continual BAD download

I have downloaded Legacy OS 4 times and have yet to get a download that matches the md5sum listed!

Downloaded 3 times from Softpedia and 1 time from meownplanet. I have used pwget once from Softpedia and used wget from the terminal 2 times. I used wget from the terminal when I tried the meownplanet download site.

I have used both the terminal and GtkHash to read the md5sum for each download. They are always in agreement. These md5sums never agree with the downloaded "correct" md5sum.

I have I crappy ADSL connection I have wasted nearly 10 hours trying to get a good download.

I know that pwget supposedly verifys the download as it is downloading, but I don't see why md5sums aren't correct.

Can anybody tell me how to get a good download?

I am running a 12 year old PII 350 which should match up with Legacy OS very well.

John, did you forget ttuuxxx made a prozilla.pet?

I have downloaded and installed prozgui-2.0.4beta3-1.static.pet. There is a menu entry, and when selected it I get a gui which I enter the where to put the download. I enter the URL click OK and the gui closes without anything happening. I don't ever get to the download menu.

I know that I'm not the brightest bulb in the house but, this has to be the most counter-intuitive program that I have seen, since DOS. And I can't find any Help Files.

I want to download http://www.meownplanet.net/puppylinuxstuff/TEENpup/legacyos.iso and use User = puppy password = linux

How do I do that? Help!

Hello don922,
I've created a simple user's Guide for Prozilla download from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/uk7nmaxt3rgo3ur/Prozilla%20User%20guide.pdf

If you don't see these boxes then Prozilla isn't working correctly and most likely crashing. (Missing Dependences / Libraries ?)

Don

You can also try multiget, which you may find easier

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=10026

This program needs wxGtk libs installed. These can be downloaded from here

http://www.esnips.com/doc/2bd88906-61ad-4b6f-8d09-8b1b8f5da237/wxGTK-2.8.7-i486

Run via Menu->Internet->Multiget, or by entering multiget in a console.

I uninstalled prozgui-2.0.4beta3-1.static.pet and installed prozgui.pet; which seems to be working. I have downloaded Legacy OS 2 more times from Softpedia with Prozilla and the md5sum didn't match either time.

Hello don922,
The link works for me. You just have to wait a minute or 2 for the download link to appear. Not to worry I've zipped the pdf up for download here. it's not a big guide and you most likely have already worked out most of it. With over 7000 downloads from Softpedia your the first to say the MD5sums don't match? I hope you have more luck soon.

don922,

I see that John Biles has already responded, but will add a couple of things to what I see -- just for future reference.

Attached in a screenshot of what I see when downloading from that link, with a thin red circle around the actual download link.

I put a heavy red circle down in the extreme lower right of my screenshot which is where you have your No-Script icon. (The icon is missing in my .png only because I have not loaded it in the Puppy version I am currently using. But it's a good add-on to have!) Although it looks to me as if you have already enabled scripts on the page you are trying to download (and I am pointing this out for the benefit of others), No-Scripts function (when enabled) is to stop unfamiliar web sites from doing so.
