Thanks for the v2 point release; I may try this out on my home kit from later this week. Perhaps it will fix the showstopper problems with my two main computers. BUT - I will need the VirtualBox Drivers modules (!) Can these be packaged please? I already downloaded the x86_64 isos to try, but there ...

Please read the PeaZip Docs carefully. There are some major compatibility issues with this archiver format. [ i.e you may archive stuff with one version and others may be unable to retrieve the files when they are unaware of the version issues ]. I have had to re-do nearly 3GiB of cloud stored stuff...

>[..]check out my previous comments in this thread about Network Manager and play with this app for a while

Cant find it! Looked all over the LXDE and KDE Desktop/menus. Root and Guest. How do I invoke it? Where is it?

Planning ahead for the Weekend and Mon/Tues: when I was to move everything over to Virtualbox 4.1.14 ...So I was rather counting on no personal "showstoppers" in RC2... Need advice on one major issue for my usability. kppp has been dropped, damnit(!) - BIG PROBLEM for me. I was surprised too by the ...

Thanks Guys. If its a quiet week at work I'll have time to play. Will take my collection of Porteus 64bit CDs with me. @fanthom: Thanks for the step by step CD rebuild guide. If I ever succeed in getting past a flashing cursor (and hangup) I'll do just that! @brokenman: Thanks - the nohd code will s...

Last September I bought an HP Pavilion AMD A4 vision Netbook to satisfy mobile computing needs. It is a REAL PAIN to use 64bit LiveCDs with this Netbook! There is no "boot from USB" option available. I dont want the complications and risk of data loss of trying out installed Linux 64bit Distros as D...

After checking out the Mozilla Security announcements and related articles yesterday I seem to remember a statement that further support for Firefox 4.0 may be skipped and a transition to 5.0 made. Orphaning the v4 series. With the nicely ciustomized (slackware access plugin) in the next release - c...

@jcuk did you install Vbox extension pack as per this thread announcement? http://porteus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=187&p=841 Yup! I omitted to say in my original post that I had, then appended a general statement I'd installed it But not How. Heres the How :wink: Doing this exactly the same w...

Am I in time to report some Problems since RC1? I am entirely "Save to RAM" + VirtualBox module focussed user First stage testing of RC3, first run with 15+Hours uptime of running Host+Guest VMs. Having considerable difficulty "passing through" my USB storage devices to any Guest Virtual Machine sin...

@fanthom no way...... - no additional features after rc3! we must stop at some point and release 1.0 [..] (i'm glad that you people want to contribute here but i want to get my summer back!) Amen to that! We are now past the peak of Summer (longest day). No day is ever long enough when you do softwa...

@fanthom hmmm... some time ago brokenman wanted to do the same thing but he decided to not continue working on it. Reason: Porteus is a livecd linux and "Welcome" popup box at every boot can be little annoying.... (same as asking for changing default passwords) How do you want to deal with it? EDIT:...

Sadly I had to reboot to a different LiveCD (puppy) when (re)building a Windows laptop
with a replacement disk drive.

Couldn't get an NTFS format option from the KDE partition editor...

Working from LXDE VirtualBox VMs in RC1, as KDE is temporarily not usable for that
No choice of UK Country/Keyboard selection here, that was only added to KDE (thanks!)

Can we have a UK choice built-in here too please?

--jcuk

@fanthom Thanks for the advice! Happily working from RC1 LXDE for the last 24Hours One bonus already - no mysterious loss of resolving; VMs running continuously. Busy working with some Python math stuff, will post again when I have more experience from RC1 as a host. Display on my Home T180 box is f...
