[linuxcbon]

Some empty dirs :

/etc/pam.d
/etc/simple_network_setup
etc...

Cannot modify files in ntfs partitions ?

[linuxcbon]

/etc/group are you sure all that is needed ? same for /etc/gshadow,

/etc/host.conf should be ?

James C,
Could you also please test the Video Upgrade Wizard and install the commercial nVidia driver. I need to know that it still downloads and installs ok.

Hi Barry

Just a quick noob report to say all seems to be working well
with wary 5.1.3.4_smp.iso.

Manual frugal to sda1 using grub4dos to boot. ext3.
800mb ish swap partition. 256mb ram. 2.5Ghz celeron proc.
9yr old Acer 243LC laptop.

Good news - SNS works as expected.

Maybe a later grub4dos version for final (eg 1.7).

Thanks for everything you do - much appreciated.

Very best regards - Ray

Inspiron 700m single core.

Did full installs of uni and smp.

Smp had a few problems finding usb devices at first;
needed to be unplugged -plugged-rebooted.

Smp also uses 10mb more ram according to htop.

[James C]

Wary 514 RC smp live pfix=ram.Everything working on boot. No problem using usb flash drive. Using all 4 cores.

Thanks for the feedback.

I think that I have fixed the nVidia package download. Grab these two files, gunzip them, place them in /usr/local/video_upgrade, right-click->Properties and make sure the 'execute' flags are set.
