Ok, i am able to print in Abiword from the live cd as well. Can you print from Abiword? I do not remember, but does LibreOffice have its own printer administration? if so, maybe something in there.

You're welcome! Good news! A 528 version with LibreOffice will be available soon.Colonel Panic wrote:Hi. Just downloaded and and now posting from the new Diamond (5.2.8 ), it's another great Puppy.
Thanks for all your hard work! I think I'll still keep the old one around though for when I need a good live implementation of Libre Office without having to download it again.

It's your project, but would that be better than keeping Diamond the way it is and loading LibreOffice from an SFS file, which could also be loaded from any other Puppies which might share the partition?TLM wrote:You're welcome!

There will be two versions of Diamond: the first one without LibreOffice, and the 2nd one will be called Diamond_full, with LibreOffice. Other than LibreOffice and Java, the two versions will be the same and i will do my best to keep both up to date. The SFS option will still be available for those who want to use the smaller version of Diamond with an SFS. Actually as of the time of this posting, Diamond528_full is finished; i just need to get it uploaded and post a DL link. Also added Lxmenu category icons to the lx start menu in Diamond_full. Will do this to the smaller version next update as well. Diamond Slacko is doable, if i find the timeColonel Panic wrote:It's your project, but would that be better than keeping Diamond the way it is and loading LibreOffice from an SFS file, which could also be loaded from any other Puppies which might share the partition?TLM wrote:You're welcome!

Hello, and thank you for the feedback. I just ran GtkHash on the iso and i am getting:Ruff-Boy wrote:First of all, thanks for the Diamond distro.
It's currently at the top of my list to put on my 9yr old laptop.
Working better than about 7 or 8 others that shall remain nameless.
I am using the Diamond_2_12rtp.iso version at the moment but wanted
to try the updated Diamond528_full.iso. I have downloaded it three times and each time I get an md5 hash value of:

NOT

as you have stated. I'm using HashCalc.
Are your totally sure about that MD5 or am I doing something wrong?
Could someone else confirm this or is it just me?
Thanks.
I got curious on what you report so I will look in htophoven wrote:Just a query, I installed the small version and it continuously accesses the disk after starting. I have plenty of RAM and no swap file. Any ideas what it's trying to do?
It is frugal install on USB drive and no save file yet. There is constant drive access after boot, on all USB drives attached. No CPU usage is showing apart from less than 1% from X itself. I've used the normal Puppy 5.28 and it doesn't do this. RAM is 2GB so should be plenty.nooby wrote:I don't notice that it access the HD at all.
But I have not done a save file yet
Please clarify; is it accessing your hard drive, your USB drives, or all of them? The only thing that comes to mind right off hand is that Diamond has some Python applications, namely PPY-Mount by forum member alexandrion. PPY-Mount is a python written version of Pmount with a very simple and clean interface. It might constantly probe sata, ide and usb ports, but i would not think it would do anything until you actually launch PPY-Mount. In what manner did you observe the constant drive access? Is it your HD LED flashing, or what?hoven wrote:It is frugal install on USB drive and no save file yet. There is constant drive access after boot, on all USB drives attached.

Thank you for the encouragement. I am working on a new version which is almost complete with several new features. Just one final bug, which i think i figured out just awhile ago, but right now i have to go to work, so it will have to wait until this evening. There should be new versions available before the end of this month. Hopefully within the week.darry1966 wrote:Very nice. Low ram usuage haven't noticed any problems with it so far.
May well keep this one.
Nice work TLM
