Hello everyone . I`m new on the list and my english is not to good so forgive me if i will do some errors .
Now I have problems installing DSL 0.7.3 on the hard drive.
My configuration is an old Gateway Solo 9150 laptop with fallowing configuration Intel P II 333 Mhz , 4 GB HDD , DVD-ROM , Super disk drive ( 120MB floppy ), TV in , TV out , quadro audio output , 2 USB Ports , 2 serial , 1 CRT and more features.
I`ve proceed to Hard Drive instal script but when I told to the script " my partition number is hda5 " did not recognized end is exiting without any error message.
The same instalation from an DSL 0.6.3 worked perfect on my laptop.
The partion ext 2 (83) type was created with Partition Magic 8.0 , this for both DSL distros , on 0.6.3 it was worked perfect but in 0.7.3 does not worked.
So how can I corect the instatlation issues?
The fstab from 0.6.3 it is diferent from 0.7.3 , i dont have the samples of fstab at me right now but tomorow morning I will bring it to you.
Right now I`m working under DSL 0.6.3 and I`ve done a lot of improvementes , like :
- fluxbox 0.9.9 develeopement version install worked perfect
and we set menu alpha to 100 , slit transparency to 0 and aterm transparency to 100 . Also i`ve set MC transparency and icon changing from those of Noia ( converted from PNG to GIF ) and some very cool themes from www.ikaro.dk
- Crossover Office install finished succesfull , with MS Office intalled in and Internet Explorer 6.0
- Super Karamba installed
- XCalendar installed
and much more improvements.
I will do some screenshots with my desktop and upload somwhere to see te DSL new face .
I think the DSl is the future for desktop use.
Fast install , easy adminitration , hardware autodetection , it is the coolest stuuf .
UPS , I all most forget , yesterdey i`ve done the brazilian pachage instalation ( i dont know why , maybe because of the rush ... whatever , what i`ve done is done) and mai keyboard layout is changed the "/" key is generate ";" and other spookye characters , how can I change it to US keymap?
Another problem is , how ca I set the wallpaper on boot time?
i`ve set in .xinitrc the fallowing line:
fbsetbg -l /home/untitled1.jpg &
but does not applyng wallpaper on the boot . It`s generate the fallowing error :
" the fbsetbg did not find any last recorded walppaper, the walppaer was not set"
so , every boot i`ve enter on console and type :
fbset -l /home/untitled1.jpg
Thats IT ,
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR UNDERSTANDING
With all do my respect .
