But two suggestions that we learned the hard way was to drop -J (Microsofts special bug filled add-on to iso9600) and add -D for deep directory support. Also do not get too attached to growisofs, I could not find a work-around for its limitations with UDF , but cdrecord can do the same task as growisofs, but we would need to add a bunch of math to tell cdrecord where to append on the disc. UDF works the same on DVD & Bluray and the driver has a iso9600 support in its code history.
I was ready to drop -J and replace that with -U (udf) but udf has a problem exactly as you said - it doesn't support session when run under growisofs. In fact I'm not sure whether cdrecord supports UDF session at all - have you got it to work? The problem of dropping -J is that when the disc is read in a Windows system; Windows can only display 8.3 file names. This used to be important (as most Fatdog users also use Windows), I'm not sure now. Perhaps newer version of Windows understand Rockridge directly?
I'm happy to deploy -D if it doesn't have any bad side effects. I don't use multisession (or burn data to DVD) that much myself, so I appreciate a feedback from one who spends a lot of time on these things.
I'm sure I added the base2ram setting, but I will double check.
Please make sure you use it like this: "base2ram=yes". Just adding "base2ram" isn't sufficient, you must pass a parameter value.
For me I can get around these issues easily by just using the simple scripts I already use for testing.
Fatdog64 method of compartmentalizing the environment makes it easier for me to test newer multisession code. So do not spend any of your time, If this works for you, NOW. But I do hope you would consider, changes to multisession that would combine more of the old style puppylinux with the two methods you used. Those two changes where on my high priority list for the practical reasons of addressing the old style puppylinux multisession negatives. But not as a replacement.
Thanks. I am always open for patches
Atle,
Thank you for your kind words.

Could be because of missing firmware. My wife's laptop has amd trinity too, and for the longest time the radeon driver would mess up the screen until I found out the missing firmware and added it. If you can somehow capture your "dmesg" output when running the radeon driver and save it somewhere, we may be able to figure out which firmware is needed.
WillM,
Thank you, I will send you a PM.
JustGreg,
Thunderbird, like firefox and seamonkey, run as "spot". You need to put the profile under /root/spot and grant access to all the files in .thunderbird to spot (or make them owned by spot). Alternatively, you can run thunderbird as "root" by editing the desktop file.

Used PPM to get the SAMBA extension to set password, test configuration, etc.
Saved the shipped configuration to smb.bak and created a new smb.conf.
Via Control Panel, I enabled the SAMBA server also setting for start at boot.
Tested the system for ability to share and shutdown to save all session changes to the Live media.
On reboot, I can see the system start and gather the save-session files from the Live media.
On Reboot at desktop, /etc/samba folder has been reset to pristine (meaning none of the prior session changes exist)
and Control Panel shows that none of the SAMBA server selection are present (thus, no server enabled or running at system start).
Not sure what you need to debug this problem? Ask, and I will comply. (I just trying to set this FATDOG to replace version 5s which ran for years.)
Does other aspects of session save works? Only /etc/samba doesn't work? Or you fail to save the session altogether?

And a cursory lookup in
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html says that it is supported by the legacy driver, which you can install from the Package Manager if you like (try it first on a blank new disc so if you screw up all you lost is a disc).
Alternatively, if you are happy with "nouveau.noaccel=1", then create a blank new file located in /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf
and put the text "options nouveau noaccel=1" in it. The option will then be used for future reboots.

How do I activate it?
I don't have any pppoe so I can't test myself.
1. Please post output of "ifconfig -a". It could be that you've got a good connection but simply the nameserver isn't set properly.
If you want to try this and happy with Google, you can do "echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf" (from terminal) after you've got your PPPoE connection up. 8.8.8.8 is Google's DNS server.
2. Try "modprobe pppoe" and "modprobe pptp" and see if it helps.
cheers!
