Yes...I've seen something very similar with a pendrive. Grub will load from my harddrive, and i select the DSL entry for the frugal system installed on my harddrive. If the pendrive was attached when i booted, that is the system that gets loaded...if it was not attached, the regular HD frugal system will be loaded.

I have no idea how this works, or if it's intentional.

Earlier issue: It would be interesting to know what those additional processes in the 2.4 system are. It would be a logical guess that this is related to the increased ram use.
It's possible that just the fact that you are running one system from harddrive and one from CD is making a difference.

There are no new processes related to the increase in cloops.
There is a very small memory increase.

Booting with:

dsl base norestore

Is a fair way to see the difference between 2.3 and 2.4RC1
Do a free command.

Thanks a lot Roberts for your quick answer and for the tip; it is then probably due to my backup.tar.gz.

I also checked the moving in the boxes of fluxter with the wheel of my mouse at my office, and it works perfectly, I didn't knew that feature; thank you again ke4nt1.

Suggestion:
Is it possible to make the boxes activable for those who have a laptop and a point-and-click touch pad only?
Or would it be possible to make them activable by keys' combination strg+tab (actually the combination which works with kde)?

I wanted to thank you for the option to save wireless settings. I have DSL installed for my 6 year old sister, and she was having problems typing in the SSID, let alone a wep key, for the wireless.

***THANKS***

Dear all,
it seems that the cups server (http://localhost:631) doesn't work (error message: The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:631; same error message with http://localhost:631/printers). Is it a specifical problem of 2.4?
yours
z
