Hi

This is sounding good - can't wait.

Once again - many thanks to all concerned for all the hard work and brain-strain.

I think puppy is already the best small distro by a long way -
this CE elevates puppy to the highest levels.

Stonking stuff

Very best regards - Ray

actually cool pup just informed me that a newer Gutenprint is out, I'm downloading right now, the source package is 1.5MB larger, so I don't know it it will do at all. Depends how it compiles I guess.

Here's the Ghostscript package. Its small because I removed the fonts like Barry did I, also linked it the our built in fonts, not sure if it works or not, not time to test. But it worked in the past for barry without the links.

As i had reported time ago(and some other members too on different dell), the last puppy that boots the kernel on Dell laptop 1526 was puppy alpha 406 with kernel 2.6.25.15.,next kernel 2.6.25.16 after writing "booting kernel." it stops,hangs.

Initially I supposed some drive/modules change in kernel from 2.6.25.15 to 2.6.25.16, or some changes in <init> script from "initrd" , for my surprise the only difference between them where some encrypting modules,so not there was the difference.

the answer to this bug seems to be in kernel compile configuration, because for my surprise 2 experimental puplets with the same kernel 2.6.25.16 but with different configuration from standard, both with SMP enabled (to run on multicore enviroment) boots & runs with no problems ,on my Dell 1526, these are:
galipup : g_pup-1.2.iso, (with MU SMP kernel for 4.1.2) and lxde-pup411-k2.6.27.5-dillo-v01.iso

Now there is still some question: if the difference is in enabling SMP only or there was some other difference in configuration that makes it to work on my dell (processor is AMD Turion 64x2 TL60)

I just printed with abiword, Keep in mind I never used Linux printing before yesterday really, so this is all new to me, But on the other hand I'm pretty good a compiling and getting things to work, so feel confident Smile

Anyways How does Abiword print, the way I did it was create a PDF and saved it, then opened the pdf and printed it, when I tried 'Generic Postscript' Abiword Crashes, and when I ran it via command line, and tried it again I got this message
# abiword

** (abiword:9606): WARNING **: Can't g_module_open /usr/lib/libgnomeprint/2.18.2/modules/libgnomeprintcups.so

lpr: Error - no default destination available.
Broken pipe

So was the Generic Postscript always broken in Abiword ?
I'll look for a fix
