Hello, tallboy. I had other reports telling me that all went well downloading from that site: if you experienced something wrong at the linelinx site, please tell limelinx, not me. I don't manage that site, I'm a simple user there. But in my experience, they're pretty serious. On the other hand, your "crap" may be due to any number of things: is your disk full? is your firefox cache full? Do you have a hosts file to protect you? Is your firewall on? As well, if the Firefox browser doesn't do the job for you, you have a number of other choices: SeaMonkey, icecat, QTWeb, opera, etc., etc. Best of luck. _________________  "To err is human; to really foul things up, you need a computer!" / "L'erreur est humaine; pour vraiment f... la m..., il faut un ordinateur."

Sorry, musher0, in the heat of the moment, my outburst came out a bit on the harsh side... 
When I clicked the download button, some 'lots of single girls'-page came up, and when trying to get rid of that, the whole 'fox just froze. That happens now and then. BTW, I run off a live-CD, firewall is on, all caches, history and cookie files are emptied whenever Firefox is closed. tallboy |

Hello, tallboy. Apologies accepted. It's already forgotten. That you are getting unwanted material when you download is worrysome, though. Do you have a "hosts" file? It redirects a great many advertising and porn, etc., even "phishing" addresses to a "never-never land" fictitious address, so you don't get intrusions in your browser. It works with any browser, too. I use the one from http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm. But there are other good ones. You unzip and put this file in /etc under the name "hosts" (all in lower case). It's not the ultimate solution but it helps. Bye for now. _________________ "To err is human; to really foul things up, you need a computer!" / "L'erreur est humaine; pour vraiment f... la m..., il faut un ordinateur."

I see these new posts just now, I'll test your new pets musher and try to mirror somewhere. I also use hosts file you mentioned for blocking unwanted sites. _________________

thanks for the wxGTK-2.8.12-i686-dpup485.pet , I needed it for compiling audacity. How did you managed to compile wxGTK-2.8.12, all I got was one or two libs and no bins!

Weechat and Pidgin packages for dpup485 are here: weechat-0.4.0-i686-dpup485.pet Note: I had to compile/upgrade this lib libssh2-1.4.3-i686-dpup485.pet to get it compiled but it seems you don't have to install it to work pidgin-2.10.7-i686-dpup485.pet I also upgaded libidn for this build libidn-1.26-i686-dpup485.pet it seems it works without this pet but it gives error in console Also if you need dev/nls/doc pets look here: http://meownplanet.net/dejan/isos/dpup485-pets/ _________________
