Is OSS disabled in the kernel ? It should be because it has been replaced with ALSA.

new version Quick Launch 1.3

I found a way to deal with a lot of windows open.
I just click a button and the problem magically disappears Laughing

It should install easily.
Remember Ctrl-shift-L launches it.

Notice to anyone trying to use 'ppp', for example dialup Internet, somehow a PET got left out of the build. Install this:

Wary 5.1.99
Installed firefox 4.0.1 from ppm.
The fonts look ugly in comparison to seamonkey. No antialiasing maybe ?

Upgraded Warysave on K6 machine to 5.1.99 beta. Error message on startup about missing backdrop file (default.jpg IIRC), selected one from wallpaper setter and no further problems on subsequent boots.

No obvious problems noticed after the upgrade. Will test frugal and full install if I can get the damned machine to start (PSU is flaky ATM).

I assume that ffmpeg is still the i686 version at this time and it'll be replaced with an i486-compatible build when you get the time to do it.

The only problem so far was with the universal installer,it gave an
error about the hard disk being mounted when it wasn't and then exited.
No problem with manual frugal + grub4dos.

I also made several versions of the default background in mtpaint
using different colors to make it a little easier on the eyes.
