Because the default Show is Type (*.*)That is it is expecting files with dot extensions Simply change Show to All Files (*) Posted by sheldonisaac on Nov. 28 2008,16:58
I was wondering about the minirt:: should I be using the newer smaller one with 4.4.10?Why is it smaller? -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 299115 Nov 25 09:54 minirt24.gz -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 310209 Aug 31 14:19 minirt24831.gz -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1005209 Jul 10 08:24 linux24 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 22 2008 grub Posted by roberts on Nov. 29 2008,15:16
minirt24.gz is where all the changes are for each release, linux24 would change only if the kernel was changed.So, you must update your minirt24.gz if you wish to avoid bugs and stay current. The size varies with each release. Posted by sheldonisaac on Nov. 29 2008,16:47
Thank you, I hadn't realized that it changes that way; I'd thought only the KNOPPIX file changes. Sheldon Directory of C:\KNOPPIX . <DIR> 01-07-08 8:46a . .. <DIR> 01-07-08 8:46a ..

You should always copy over both. Even the kernel could change, but unlikely due to modules not always supported going forward in the 2.4 series. The change log or notes does not specify where I have made changes in KNOPPIX and/or minirt24.gz. As a matter of fact, the frugal update option copies over linux24, minirt24.gz and KNOPPIX, but saves your boot configuration file(s).

* Updated minirt24.gz waitusb function occurred in release 4.0.* Optimized minirt24.gz - much smaller occured in release 4.4.3. My point is that DSL consists of three main files, linux24, minirt24.gz and KNOPPIX. In order to avoid problems one should not mix and match from various releases. All three should be updated when a new release is posted. Posted by stunix*com on Nov. 29 2008,19:12
so when i have different frugal versions running from different directories, can i do something like :?
and then in grub
is this right? Posted by roberts on Nov. 30 2008,03:12
yes. Looks pretty much like mine:title DSL Ver 4 on hdb1 (mydsl=hdb1 restore=hdb1/dsl4) kernel (hd1,0)/dsl4/linux24 quiet noacpi noapm noscsi frugal knoppix_dir=dsl4/ mydsl=hdb1 restore=hdb1/dsl4 initrd (hd1,0)/dsl4/minirt24.gz title DSL Ver 4 on hdb1 (base norestore xsetup vga=normal) kernel (hd1,0)/dsl4/linux24 quiet noacpi noapm noscsi frugal knoppix_dir=dsl4/ base norestore xsetup vga=normal initrd (hd1,0)/dsl4/minirt24.gz title DSL Ver 3 on hdb1 (base norestore toram xsetup) kernel (hd1,0)/dsl3/linux24 quiet noacpi noapm noscsi frugal knoppix_dir=dsl3/ base norestore toram xsetup initrd (hd1,0)/dsl3/minirt24.gz Posted by andrewb on Nov. 30 2008,22:54
Robert,What is the problem with Firefox the first time it is used on a new installation? When first starting up, if there is no internet connection, or you are behind a firewall it takes many minutes before the program displays anything on the screen. Once it is loaded & the proxy setting corrected things work as expected. It is a real pain having to wait for a few minutes for the program to time-out when it can't make a connection the first time it is started on a new machine or installation. Is this due to the default home page being a web-page & the program tryoing to make a connection to the net, or is there some other reason for a connetion being attempted prior to the GUI being launched. Making it the same start page as for Dillonwould be a good idea. Posted by roberts on Dec. 01 2008,07:24
Likely so, and many websites at that, e.g., all the google ads.Alas, I cannot change this. It is something that is not my domain. This site owner has his reasons for such and I must respect that. Posted by stunix*com on Dec. 03 2008,07:36
Im using wget along with a remote php script to output my external IP addressecho `wget < http://domain.com/ip.php > -O -` it works on 446 but now in 4.4.10 get loading bars and error messages. what changed? <edit>looks like it worked with busybox, still cant work out whats wrong.</edit> <edit2>fixed by adding -q switch for quiet.</edit2> Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Dec. 03 2008,08:39
the echo part is redundant... it should just be fine with just the wget blah part. Posted by stunix*com on Dec. 03 2008,18:46
very true. it is part of a longer line for a no-ip log after update,echo "Ext: `wget < http://www.domain.com/ip.php > -O -` date %m%h" %D%M%Y>> /opt/no-ip.log or at least something like that. its groovy now but wget seems to have changed from what I can see, in 4.4.6 wget -V gave me an Busybox association, and 4.4.10 it seems to be a standalone wget. ah well, at least it works now. Im finding 4.4.10 very polished and wanting for very little. thou I wood look at updating rdesktop client and possibly including the rdesktop server plugin, unless I or someone make a .dsl out of them. get rid of gphone and would aumix be smaller than wmix or dmix? Posted by chaostic on Dec. 04 2008,03:06
You should still be able to use the busybox wget, unless it has ben removed from the busybox compile.Instead of "wget blah" use "busybox wget blah" Posted by stunix*com on Dec. 07 2008,18:53
me again.working with cron, i cant get it to run anything on a sunday. My testing has boiled down to this:- * * * * 0 * beaver or * * * * 7 * beaver which in my mind should open beaver every minute on a sunday. i also have tried 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 which work fine for the rest of the week (after changing system clock) and also a "*" for everyday, so is there a problem with the sunday - is DSL religious and taking a day of rest? I am getting around this by configuring the av scans (my aim) on other days, but I thought I should post. |
