Thank you for the kind words, you makes me blush Embarassed

ttuuxxx:

As far as I know there were no changes to network wizard in previous release, it seems a driver problem...

In fact connectwizard script is just a frontend to launch net-setup.sh (Network Wizard) or gkdial.

I uploaded an updated version for my dropbear launcher, just a small change to start the key generation code in background and make the dropbear Server GUI starts a little faster...

Hugh :

Could you please post output when you try to manually load the PCI driver.

What a modprobe -r "driver" and the modprobe "driver" shows?. Could you please post your /tmp/bootkernel.log file.

Greetings,

I've been working on the next release for 2 days now,lol I wanted to implement a better home finance software the one in 2.14X is really old and not that good, So we have 2 options Grisbi or Homebank, I did supply earlier in this current release a Grisbi package but didn't have feedback on it, So lets look at it, Grisbi by far is the nicer looking application, It has more features, Its also maybe 200kb, larger compressed, due to the 760kb in flag icons, lol
During the 4.2 build a lot of people wanted Homebank with .ofx support, So I built 2 packages one for the main release and one for the others that do online banking eg ofx, made a lot of people real happy.
. the reason why I made 2 packages is that to have online banking built into the application itself it uses a couple really large libs,
libosp.so.5.0.0 <--2MB extracted and stripped
libofx.so.4.0.1 <-- 265kb
compressed those libs add around 1.2MB, Just to do online banking and import ofx files.
The end result would be around 2MB Finance Suite, I could even add Homebank for a extra 300kb and it could use the same libs Smile

Like I stated in the past with Gnumeric, that I don't use it, never have, don't need it and takes like 5MB compressed and is only good for one thing, Where as this home Finance software could be used by more people than Gnumeric and its under 1/2 the size. hmmm what to do, any ideas guys? Grisbi full or stripped down version ?

lol do those flags ever compress it went from 760kb expanded to 56kb compressed when I removed them and repackaged it. Not really worth removing 190 flags to save 56kb, lol

I like Homebank enough to have switched to puppy for it. Embarassed

I would at least keep it as a pet. Home finance is one of those things that is not important until you desperately need it.

Either way, as long as there is finance software of some kind available, it shouldn't make much difference. Besides, you have shown really good taste, I'm sure we don't have to worry about it.

I think I'll go with the small Grisbi package and have a upgrade, The reason why is that Grisbi can import all the file formats HomeBank plus it can import GnuCash files which from looking at HomeBank doesn't.
Also Grisbi works on plugins, where as Homebank doesn't. So building a plugin/lib package would be easy.

And if you want a full version of notecase with all the locales include, I'm not including notecase 2.14X. Have to save some space Smile

here's a version of Rdesktop that won't work on any older version of 2.14X, only on 2.14XRC3 +, Its for the next release and is patched for Gnutls, not Openssl, Should work on other puppies with gnutls, not only did I have to patch but newer gnutls 2.8+ no longer comes with a libgnutls-config scrtipt, So I went hunting and found one, then I edited the code and tried and it worked first shot Smile

So will be included also Smile
