No it's not.

If John Murga is unhappy with its presence, he can move it elsewhere or remove it completely.

But he hasn't.

Square brackets deleted in the quotation.

Okay, you are breaking the margins on purpose. Because one person posted something that you (but apparently not the moderator) thinks is off topic,
you are breaking the board intentional for everyone.

Grow up and please edit your message so it doesn't break the forum.

Rufwoof, please send me a PM with the URLs of posts with spam in them. You'll find the URL of a post in the small white rectangle to the left to the word "Posted" at the top of a post.

If you have a suggestion for a better place for this thread, feel free to include that as well. Thank you.

Never mind. Rufwoof's mini-vandalism didn't show in my computer so I thought it was fixed. Not until I clicked on "Quote" in his post did I see what he'd done. I've removed the offending link from his post and banned rufwoof.

Changing your computer's hostname

At one time, this was a BFD in Puppy. It was deemed essential that the name change happened on-the-fly, which required multiple steps.

But it's actually quite simple:

1. Update the file /etc/hostname
2. Update /etc/hosts
3. Reboot.

3- select keyboard layout handler and click on add button
4- now on panel flag of US appeard!
5- right click on that and (keyboard layout handle setting)
6- unckeck keep system layouts
7- add layouts and even can change change option key...
That's all

Intel wifi driver
===>
if your computer wireless card's manufactured by intel , may be can't connect with PeasyWifi

Do - connect to internet with cable and in terminal

Or download

@borzeh: Thanks for your support with this project and your solutions.

multilanguage keyboard support: I don't know much about multilanguage, but Fred does. (All my stuff is gettexted if anyone wants to start translating. :wink: ) And there are many features in lxpanel that I have never investigated.

Intel wifi driver: I thought about including all of firmware-iwlwifi in the ISO, but it's pretty big. For people who want to keep their setup small, check for errors in dmesg, then get just the firmware file that's missing.

There is information about firmware here. Many of those packages are already in the ISO.

To use that you must:
1- Extract this file to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
2- change line 342 of .config/openbox/rc.xml from

<command>xscreenshot</command>
after RestartX only need select part of screen!
Screenshots go to root exactly. if you need another folder to save images

<command>xscreenshot -p /root/screenshots/</command>
:!: make shure create screenshots folder! , xscreenshot cant do that!

Thanks, since yours is for 64-bit, here's also 32-bit xscreenshot that I compiled (attached).
The source I took from here:

WlanMaker

WlanMaker uses your computer's WiFi adapter to create a temporary wireless network.

Your WiFi adapter must be capable of switching into an access point. Internal units that use the ath5k, ath9k or b43 drivers work well. Some recent Intel Centrino adapters using the iwlwifi driver may work. The Broadcom vendor wl driver does NOT work.

Certain external USB WiFi adapters like ath9k_htc, carl9170 and rt2800usb also work, as do some Realtek adapters like the 8192cu or 8192eu. However, these Realtek devices require custom drivers from the 64bit "combo" driver pack.

Note: Running a firewall on the Wlanmaker machine will cause problems. If you really, really want a firewall, ask for help.

---------------

The basic WlanMaker setup is NOT an Internet sharing tool. It does not provide Internet access to client computers. But see below.

Start WlanMaker from a terminal with:

Code: Select all

wlanmaker wlan0 ssid passphrase
Select your own SSID and passphrase. This creates a WPA2-encrypted network with DHCP that hands out IP addresses in the range 192.168.51.10-250. If you prefer an open network, use the passphrase "none". The server computer gets the IP address 192.168.51.1 on its wlan0 interface.

Leave the terminal window open for the duration of the session. WlanMaker may throw some warning messages. But provided that it does NOT return a # prompt, it should be working and ready to receive clients.

For example, you could turn your laptop into a self-contained wireless HTTP server. Or you could add the p910nd print server and make a "WiFi Direct" printer.

Windows client machines may show the connection as "limited" because there is no Internet access.

-----------------

To enable Internet sharing, the server machine needs the additional package "iptables" via apt-get.

Start the server with:

Code: Select all

wlanmaker wlan0 ssid passphrase eth0
The fourth argument is the server's Internet-facing port.

Client machines will get an IP address via DHCP and a route to the Internet.

--------------------------

WlanMaker can be used as a wireless repeater.
a. Your laptop has a WiFi connection on its internal wlan0.
b. You plug in a compatible USB wifi adapter wlan1.
c. You run: wlanmaker wlan1 ssid passphrase wlan0
d. Another laptop can connect to the second ssid.

Peasy Net Player

The Simple Python HTTP Server is a handy way to share a music collection across your network. It is easy to set up and users can access the files through their web browser.

But playing music in your browser can be awkward. The Peasy Net Player lets you play the tracks as if they were on your own hard drive.

1. Open the remote HTTP server in your web browser and go to the desired page. . It can also be a sub-page of the collection.
2. Select and copy the page URL.
3. Open Peasy Net Player and paste in the URL. Click Play.
4. PeasyMP3 will open, loaded with a folder of links back to the music server. Click Start.

The dependencies are peasymp3 and mplayer.

Peasy Net Viewer

This is the sister program to Peasy Net Player. If the remote HTTP server is sharing pages of photos, Peasy Net Viewer gives you an easy, one-click way to see them.

1. Open the HTTP server in your web browser and go to the desired page.
2. Copy the page URL into Peasy Net Viewer.
3. Click Load. This builds an index of the remote page and shows the first picture.
4. Click /Next/Prev/First.

The dependency is viewnior.

Here is a trio of applets that give you fast, one-click access to the command-line tools sync, umount (all) and diff.

I keep shortcuts for them on my desktop.

Update: V1.1 has a desktop shortcut for ejecting the optical drive tray.
