Thanks, ttuuxxx!

I am wondering about my "fix" for playing DVD movies, though. I don't see a dvd link in 431's /dev, so I am certain that the real solution is elsewhere....

With only my best wishes throughout this holiday season,

I havent got sounds working. With previous releases updating Alsa packages has worked and the onboard intel sound started working. Well I updated all Alsa packages from the ttuuxxx 214XX folder, but that didnt work. Propably not good idea to load all the packages.

Wireless with intel onboard wireless loses connection and wizards does not get it working again. Ndiswrapper got the driver working ok thought. Iwlagn would be the right driver. Needs propably command line hacking.

zdrv_214.sfs cant be added to boot up. No sfs found /mnt/home. Well it is nothing important anyway.

Md5 sum was ok. Cd burned with Puppy.

Here's a terminal ink monitor for printers, basically install the package and open a terminal and type ink and press enter then it will give you the commands like

I think the Webserver has brother called Marvin, the depressed robot, according to Douglas Adams.

Really awesome page not found, cut at the end...

"Everything here is just mind-numbingly stupid.
That makes me depressed too, since I have to serve them,
all day and all night long.
Two weeks of information overload,
and then *pffftt*, consigned to the trash.
What kind of a life is that?
Now, please let me sulk alone.
I'm so depressed._"

I don't have any issue with DVD movies in gxine.

I have a symlink in /dev/dvd pointing to hdc. Puppy created it at startup...

Thanks, guys. If I am the only one with the problem, I am thinking it must have been a bad CD or something (rare, but not unheard of).... I am going to ask for a return of the CD in question to investigate further on my end (used it fresh from the burn to set a co-worker up with Puppy214X).

Again, I honestly appreciate you guys taking the time to verify the problem was only on my end. Makes me feel like 'family'.

And Clarf, now that you mention it, I do see the dvd symlink in 4.31's /mnt/dev/ as well (as an icon, not a folder). Thank you for pointing that out!

I think when 214X finalizes, I'm going to be giving a lot of CD's away....

EDIT: STILL NO GO... Md5sum verified, but burn not verified when burning a new disk using burn2iso in Puppy 4.31. Everything looks okay except for the /mnt/dev/ directory; no dvd symlink and a curious-looking 'core' symlink that says "File doesn't exist, or I can't access it: /dev/core" (see attached screenshot). Burned another CD using xfburn from that 214XRC2 CD and the verified iso image -- and got the same thing. ATM I am testing on a Dell D610 laptop with common Intel hardware -- pretty standard fare, I should think. Help?!

ttuuxxx,

Thanks for the helping hand. Here is what I've got so far:

- I verified my download of 214XRC2 via md5sum; checked good.
- I have burned a different copy using the iso burner in 4.31 (official) and each iso-burner included in 214XRC2; remembered that maybe only one past Puppy ever verified a multi-session burn, so re-did this with single-session mode; verified good burn (Pburn image attached)
-I still do not have a /dev/dvd symlink of any kind when running from a live CD (Well, that is unless I manually create one per your guidance)
