Minisys-Linux Muppy008 (dec, 20, 2007) / SP3 (jan, 13, 2008)

Mark: Mini-Muppy008-2EN is a beautiful piece of work - thank you.
Having difficulty loading a driver for RTL8100 on an old MSI6378. It doesn't load automatically and none of the usual (eg 8139, which seems to work for a lot of Realtek) drivers, incl the NE2K generic load, either. I looked through your 'More' tab, none of those options worked. I typed in RTL8100 and was surprised to see 'failed to load' rather than 'not available'. Probably I've missed something? Appreciate some guidance, please. If I have to load foreign files, please can I have very detailed instructions about where to find them, exactly what to do, etc!

Supplementaries:
The standard Minsiys 008-2 starts up OK with only 128Mb main memory + swap, but doesn't seem to use much swap on larger apps, loading the cpu cycles instead? This slows things down a lot. Farming out the tasks between main, swap and cpu seems less than optimal? Adding RAM isn't a problem, but this observation seems curious.

'Lame' and 'pitiful' have extremely negative connotations in English. Is this word choice a consequence of translation or an huge joke?!
Only the Trash and Xlock icons remain overlapping (800x600 - rather more in the 640x480 default preferred by BK).
Icedock: selecting 'full screen' caused everything to lock up!

Hi. I would like to start by saying that I hope I am posting this in the correct area. Second, I am so thankful that I found the greatest distro ever; Muppy 008. As an elementary music teacher, I finally found my solution to what I need day-to-day (using different school computers via ram, USB drive and boot CD).

Running a KDE sfs has given me Amarok. I depend on this for quick categorization of my music library. Whohooo!!

Amarok is broke, however, in the newest version of KDE 3.10 sfs. So I have gone back to 3.58 sfs. Is there something I need to adjust to fix Amarok in the new KDE sfs?

Thanks to all that is involved in this project!
