I thought I was being nice... ;o) > nothing meant by it...just an observation.... ;-) ..a meaningful observation to do: Pick one of the http links off http://damnsmalllinux.org/download.html and tell us how it downloads speedwise. ..then try 'wget -c http://80.239.32.253/fgl/fglive-0.1-linuxtag.md5' and *iso and advice me when you're done so I can yank it down, it's buggy and will be replaced. ..that fancy FGBenchmark-0.0.6-4-FGL line should be: ' fgfs --aircraft=c172p --airport=KSFO \ --start-date-lat=2002:04:11:11:11:11 \ --prop:/sim/fuel-fraction=0.2 \ --enable-fuel-freeze \ --prop:/environment/params/real-world-weather-fetch=false \ --prop:/sim/rendering/enhanced-lighting=false \ --prop:/sim/rendering/multi-pass-clouds=false \ --prop:/sim/rendering/bump-mapping=false \ --prop:/sim/rendering/use-display-list=false \ --disable-intro-music \ --disable-sound \ --enable-auto-coordination \ --prop:/controls/gear/brake-parking=1.0 \ --prop:/sim/hud/draw-fps=true ', but --prop:/sim/hud/draw-fps=true fails, so I need to re-enable it from the menu. Bug? Running off FGLivecd I get 3fps, same box with a _bloated_ junk install and running KDE-3.5.2-2, I get 1 to 2. ..the benchmark command we ran in FGBenchmark-0.0.5: ' fgfs --aircraft=c172r-3d --airport=KSFO \ --start-date-lat=2002:04:11:11:11:11 \ --prop:/sim/fuel-fraction=0.2 \ --enable-fuel-freeze \ --prop:/environment/params/real-world-weather-fetch=false \ --prop:/sim/rendering/enhanced-lighting=false \ --prop:/sim/rendering/multi-pass-clouds=false \ --prop:/sim/rendering/bump-mapping=false \ --prop:/sim/rendering/use-display-list=false \ --prop:/sim/hud/draw-fps=true --disable-intro-music --disable-sound \ --enable-auto-coordination --prop:/controls/gear/brake-parking=1.0 ', used to park us in a C172 with a nice framerate display. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
