Hey kirk,

I tried FD with pfix=nox as you suggested but it still won't boot the kernel. But never mind, I'll give it a go if and when I get more ram.

Thanks again for your help,

Ray

Finally got around to trying 621. appears to be working well on this box.
Only one little tweak was necessary..... had to add nouveau.noaccel=1 to the kernel line to combat multi-colored display freezes and hard poweroffs.
Occurs with all kernels since about k-3.5.x, both 32 and 64 bit.

Hello to all,

I would like to make one of my dmcrypt save files smaller instead of bigger.
Is this possible?

cheers to all

Probably a dumb question but....

Frugal install to SSD on Fujitsu s6520 all intel core 2 duo laptop went uneventfully. Wireless connection worked, posting from Seamonkey now. When I run fatdog package manager and ask to refresh package lists, nothing happens. Dialog box opens, stays at 0% for a while, then probably times out. Independent of repo I choose. Lists in /root/.packages seem correct. Anything I can do to troubleshoot this? Basically this is a pristine boot. Nothing installed or changed except to create the save file, connect to the network, and reboot.

Thanks,

Edited: Tried it multiple times, posted this, retried, checked that I had set locale etc., retried still timing out. Set up a firewall whilst poking, retried and it works on all repos. Who knows, but solved and I'm happy.

Re-edited: Moved savefile location (Thanks for nice faqs and howtoo). Problem reoccurred. Turns out to be a timing thing. My ISP DHCP serves up a REALLY bad primary DNS, which I always patch using /etc/resolv.conf.head. Prior to patching, the package manager update consistantly fails. Post patch, it refreshes very quickly and I haven't been able to make it fail. Maybe it isn't quite patient enough for a bum DNS server. Anyway, again.

Thanks,

Hi everybody,
Is it possible to display two desktops on one large monitor? Imitating a two monitor display. So that maximizing a window only takes up half of the screen.

Or is there a easy way to arrange windows side by side for instance two spreadsheets evenly displayed?

right clicking on the desktop selection in the taskbar shows "Desktop pager settings" but this is greyed out. Whats this for? how to ungrey it?

thanks

Why not just tile 2 program windows?

[Marv]

Is there (or does anyone have) a 64b lxappearance or spacefm for fatdog? Looked in the repos and so far no luck cobbling either together.

Thanks,

Edited: Made my peace with ROX with bookmarks and migrating my rightclickers from SpaceFM and can just use ROX options to change overall icon theme.
Unpack initrd, either by click or fatdog-split-initrd works fine.
Ran separate base for a few days. Line for that in my Grub4Dos menu entry was:

Hi DC;
I use this program to tile windows.

Seeking a recommendation

• Is there a utility to take all of the DVD's saved-session and create an SFS that could be used for boot-time loading? OR,
  
• Is there a recommended approach to taking the save-sessions and creating an SFS suitable for boot-time loading?

Thanks in advance for guidance.

[DC]

Thanks WillM works fine,
also thanks to whom made the pet if its not yourself

now if it could tile desktops
